My goal is to have this mesh finished by the end of today, that will hopefully include the head. See i'm on a strict time budget due to needing a solid demo reel ready in about 2 weeks and with only what i'm posting as my only work suitable for it... The aim for this character is a Viking Huscarl; which is essentially the…
Thanks!! The rivets drove me a little crazy at times, I didn't really plan on doing them but seemed to keep adding more whenever I felt like an area was getting close to done. Some are placed by hand with Modo's tack tool (select rivet, click on surface you want to snap it to). Most of the dense areas were done with the…
yup more and more tools these days are going XML for obvious reasons. In the past though and still many engines and tools with a long history have usually a binary storage based architecture - and there are valid reasons for that too. Pro XML/ ASCI* Lets you merge / share/ create revisions of the levels / data using SVN…
I also disagree with much of gnoop's advice. Raw is very handy to use if you want to make non-destructive changes to exposure, white balance, adjust noise reduction etc. Maybe if you need 1x1k textures but certainly not for anything large like 2k or 4k. If you need high res, high quality textures, a DSLR or mirrorless…
( I tried having a go at it, there is a "bug" where if you drag click with move, rotate or scale tool you can still apply the effect by letting go of the mouse button before you stop moving the cursor. Although I haven't been able to get it to apply the tool effect when testing with a wacom, but only with my mouse. I'm…
Thanks for the kind words, glad you like em, personally I find it really hard to find color palettes I like! It's been a while since the last update, but I'm about to embark on a challenge of producing.... 30 VEHICLE DESIGNS IN 30 DAYS. In-fact I am already on day 3 :x Some designs I will spend hours on (like the first one…
Thanks people! Di$array: yes I will but then they vary from some zero suits. UPDATE!!!!! PLEASE C&C Phase 004: The Base Mesh: I wanted to create a base that didnt restrict my creativity, especially in the face area. I knew that if I kept the base very general without any feature topology erasing and restarting would be…
many artistic traditions and disciplines to consider as well... I wouldn't dismiss any particular artist as "lacking" ( anatomy Nazi? ) because their strategies and language might just concentrate on a different approach. ( wouldn't assume they haven't spent less time agonizing and pouring over the human form and with any…
That video was really interesting. I see your point though, education is the purpose, and a very good one at that. Also I just checked out that doodleordie game, it's awesome. XD I have several ideas floating around in my head. I'm starting to form something really cool but it's so loose right now. I'll just brainstorm…
Hi guys. Very quick intro: I've been doing 3d as a hobby in some form or another for twenty years. Nine years ago I wrote a screenplay for a short horror film. I tried to produce it six years ago but realised within a week that I didn't have the skills at the time. Two years ago I did a masters in games art and last May I…
