How do I clean up these edges?
So I've been modeling a cassette player (the image provided is a closeup of one part of it. I'm trying to practice making cleaner models especially when they're smoothed out. I could be wrong but I assume the roundness of the edges (the square-ish forming outer edges) encompassing each sphere that are rounded are not the… -
Re: Jigabachi AV
thanks! yes, this was a lot of curved paneled surfaces. it was one of the reasons I chose to model it. weird rendering issues just popped up in the viewport but I'll post a proper breakdown at the end. while it was nice to get serious practice at fundamental sds, studies quickly proved how slow and destructive it is. Not… -
Re: First Character WIP
Here's a list of a few things to think about: Eyes are too big, chin is too flat and wide, lips too defined and feel like they arent really part of the face, cheek bones and zygomatic process need definition, hair is too close to the ear (left and right side), eyebrows dont follow a realitic angle/pattern. Best thing to do… -
Re: Underground Sewers Control Environment (UDK)
Sry to sound like a broken record, but yeah, textures are way too busy, especially the bump in your normal maps. They need to be softened up a bit, to be not so noisy. If you do want to keep the normals on all surfaces like that, try practicing with overlaying some of your super noisy normal map and "running it through 1… -
Re: How to Handle Active Discouragement
Yeah, I had a lot of people telling me to give up and do something more practical...until I started getting work and recognition, and then it went from "You can't do it" to "Thats so cool!" Pretty much every single person who implied I couldn't do it...do not work in a field they enjoy or that is their passion. Sour grapes… -
Re: Is Buying Black Ops supporting the Evil Empire?
I was just trying to bring up the point that since 95% of people just sit idly by when these kind of business practices happen then why would you question buying a game that dosnt even come close to the horrible practices that are inflicted on third world country workers. If you are going to buy one and then question… -
Re: Help with prop modeling (poly + texture budgets & etc + baking explosion)
As far as your question concerning whether to use geometry or an alpha map for the top portion of your tank, it's really a matter of your own preference, since this is just a portfolio piece. But if you're practicing as if you were on the job doing the real thing, take into consideration all the other variables that may be… -
Re: female desertpocalypse character
not knowledgeable on anatomy but: Her face looks quite manly - while I'm not saying you need to make her a photoshop supermodel I do think you need to make some changes for it to match a female face shape more. Again not an expert but try adding more cheekbones.. you'll probably want to look at a ton of reference images… -

Re: Jason Lavoie - Area 51 (PSP)
Whoa, thanks all for the great crits. For the most part, I'm pretty settled on the tri count (I want to get closer to 1400k) What I could do though, is maybe make 2 versions... one, as Odium said, as a "PSP cinematic character" and the hacked up version as the game character. I've never done any sort of "lod" before, and…
