READ THIS: Its not the end of the quarter so the whole thing about royalties is null. If they are getting their royalties - and we've no reason to assume they wouldn't - it would happen when the quarter ends, so April'ish. Relax about the royalties shenanigans, its typical fare.
man, proper meditation sounds so much more beneficial than just sitting in the dark and relaxing. Need to take it more seriously, but am motivated by the results I've learned w the mindfulness exercises. doesn't sound cheesy at all imo
Feels a little noisy to me right now, that's why I like the previous one a little better. Maybe make some details less prominent...? This could help relax the scene. (Edit: I'm talking about the stone wall texture ;) )
@Carabiner How do you straighten out? I used to relax them after, so sometime cause deformation. And do you mean the first uv bottom left, I overlapped some there, where won't shown in the back of the tower.
If your on 901 use the new rectangle relax tool. It will straighten your uv's in one click. Alternatively select all the vertical edges, set your centre to local and your axis to auto and scale inwards. Use the same settings on the horizontal.
I always work at 1:1 scale, because of the problems with relax tool and viewing; and at the end I crop texture in photoshop and in 3ds max I use uvw xform mod where I just put 0.5 instead of 1.
Looking from the side there is something with the back of her head that bugs me, like if it's too small or something. But I guess it's just the pose. Perhaps you should tilt the head backwards into a more relaxed pose? Still, I freakin love this!
Best seems to me is some natural light, not too much, and desk lamps for everyone. Relaxing! The worst is the overhead `reflective box` office lighting: Guaranteed to cause moaning, headaches and loss of concentration. People are damn noisy with this type of lighting too.
Hey, nice tutorials! It's always cool to see someone elses workflow. It makes you think more about your own and if you are really taking advantage of all the tools. I for one should really start using relax more.
I find the stitch and relax tools in the unwrap window to be extremely helpful. There's also an insanely good tool that mr Chadwick showed me once called UVPaint. The downside with that though, is that it requires you to unweld all UVs and make it an editable mesh
