Hi Fishy Great looking female you have here! I'm loving the proportions, and the overall quality (and the relaxed pose too) reminds me of this model Zack Petroc did for his Gnomon DVD... which is a good thing! I'm with Shotgun, these things are important. But I'm sure the finished model will stand out anyway. On a side…
Back again with another update to this one. This time I've: - Pushed the lighting. I liked the godray shining onto the runestone to attract the eye a bit more and thought I could get some storytelling going there with the ravens having flown in to sit menacingly on our little runestone. - Moved around some pillars and…
Yeah, I agree with all the criticisms. I would have liked and tried to put more definition into the limps. I'm still pretty green with zbrush and my machine has only 1 gig of ram, so I had problems getting meshes into max and rendering to texture. I will do some more optimizing on the mesh, in some cases, like the plates…
I'm comparing it to other apps for modeling, which is what the OP would be using it for. Lets not turn this into; "you hurt my feelings and besmirched the honor of my beloved program - Chris Crocker" type of discussion. Have you used the other apps and can give some valuable insight into aspects of modeling in Maya I'm…
Thanks for the replies everyone. I didn't post the back story but this is actually a human alien hybrid. It's even more complicated than that in the back story. The player actually is under the dirt and this creature is connected to it. You actually play as clones of yourself. lol, it's a big back story and its all part of…
I am 3ds max hobbyist who have some 3d ADULT themed max models that need rigging upgrade to make my life as "animator" easier. This job should be a fairly easy/quick for anyone with experience in 3ds max rigging. Remember, all characters i have are already rigged, i just need someone willing to go beyond basic rigging and…
January, 1991. In the wake of Operation Desert Storm, retreating Iraqi forces set fire to an estimated 700 oil wells in Kuwait. These wells burned 5 to 6 million barrels of oil each day. While the coalition non-combat forces tasked with capping these wells were delayed due to the minefields placed by Iraqi forces following…
I think it's great. The rivets may be too big but I think it helps lend to the cartoony feel. Awesome robot. My main thought for TF2 is that BLU is the 'hi-tech' team and red is the 'Jimmy Rig Team'. In this case I think it would be cool to have the robot be Blu's and Blu in the defensive position. I'd do stuff like a…
I just built a new rig myself as well after almost 5 years of use on my old p4 3ghz and radeon x800. That was a pretty stable system, but really weak on the rendering/baking side of things. I wanted to make sure I got another one that would be just as stable and offer me the performance boost I needed. I opted for a Q6600…
