work on this was completed a lil while ago for the joust3d project (http://www.joust3d.com). the kickass model was done by Warghoul, and it was based on a concept by the amazingly talented andrew jones. many years ago, the heron character was a magnificent, royal riding beast. Disowned from its master, it has become…
You aren't trying to sell engines. I don't think 'This character has X 2042s' is going to matter at all. Just make it look the best you can with the most reasonable texture sizes/polycounts. All you need to do is demonstrate your art skill, not your ability to perfectly guess what size ut2k7 textures are.
@ Renderasdf, 99% of the time you can fast close lightbox by just clicking outside the img (in the black space) When you open my site you go straight to photography, maybe you should also skip " home" abd let it go to the gameart page when you open the site instead. It looks clean, nice and easy :)
I agree on this as I was putting the lighting up, i myself could not figure out where to focus - as the lights came from 3 sides to brighten the images moving center. And then if I only lit up 1 side it does show focus point towards 1 half side of the image until the plant in the middle but the remainder of the scene…
How would I go about creating a terrain textures of various different substances/textures...Say I want a river running through grassland, there would be a shift in texture when it gets to the side of the river bed and underneath that. At the moment i can only create a texture which looks tiled and cant work out how to…
Hi, after completing the M-80 Zolja I decided to head back to a more modern design for the next model. I decided to create a winged scout drone with VTOL abilities. After some sketching and try & error I cam up with a first blockout: (Left is view onto the top side, right the bottom side.) The idea is that the drone uses a…
If you embed a GIF on Polycount, you can add a custom width parameter. After embedding, edit the post and choose the "Toggle HTML view" button , then change the <img> tag to include a width. 900 pixels is about the maximum width of posts. For example the HTML for this GIF is (by default) <img alt="" src="http…
This is a combination test post of learning to put images on this forum and a discussion of a little mystery I don't understand. So. I'm busily learning to use 3d coat and decide to try a set of boots. I decide to make one boot and mirror it in blender. The mirrored boot has the normals pointing in so I recalculate them to…
Looking good ! I must say I can't disagree with the cheese comments. It's not so much of a problem on the shield but if you look at your reference, the holes are not perfect circles. Maybe you could try to make squarish or triangular holes to make them look more like actual damage made bit the point of a blade. However, on…
Erm.. had to restrain myself from making a bad joke. Offended? No, please, I can watch boobs all day long. I just think it is really a waste of time to model features that will never be seen, not to mention all this highpoly smoothness, while you still unsure about proportions. But please proceed if you feel comfortable…
