That is looking muchhhh better now, it's starting to match your reference now. Also there was something I also spotted later on and figured out what else could be stopping you from achieving a look closer to your reference. The way the ceiling lights are bouncing off onto the environment is going on a 180 degree direction.…
Having looked at your portfolio and the Noctis studied the feedback you have been given is pretty accurate. I think you need to take a step back and evaluate your work and what are the major things that need to be worked on. Lets take the two things mentioned in your post, Anatomy and texturing. For now Ide recommend you…
OK, quick run down of the last month on this gun. 1) I stopped for a few days to do extensive research on normal maps. In the meantime I posted this: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=133049 2) My PC problems continued, resulting in multiple trips to the "shop" which halted work for a while. 3) I started a…
Good information here, thank you. I'm gonna give it a shot. I'll be trying to bake this: EXPORT SETTINGS: ACTIVATING PLUGIN FOR MIKK TANGENTS, and RAY DISTANCE CALCULATOR As I posted this image, the RDC was still running. Has been almost 3 minutes so far. I'm going to stop it now and press "copy results" SETTINGS USED AND…
It's just the way things are. I've been doing freelance since January of this year. People always figure because you make it look easy that it is easy. And it's that way in any talent based field. I have a good friend who custom paints race vehicles. I asked him if it was the same in his industry. He told me that on…
Opted to purchase Suite 2 at last... it's a great tool and the new 3D painting stuff is exciting, but not quite what I was hoping for from an in-photoshop app. Here's the direction I'd love to see it go in: If there is any way to bring over more of the photoshop tools that are so close but not quite there, it'd be great…
I'll just throw down some quick feedback first of all: - I'm not sure, but I think it's a bit too slow for just a generic walk. A generic walk will take place over between 24-30ish frames on average. Maybe more, maybe less. Yours seems to be about 40 for two steps. I could be wrong as frames has never been my specialty,…
**Salute KevinJohnstone** There's obviously a lot to be said about what games have done for the maturation and artistic development for many of us. I'd been told most of my life that I was poisoning my brain with how many games I played. A couple of my non-gamer friends were truly concerned with how much I played Street…
Lol sorry I missed that post. But cool, that sounds nice! I was thinking... Judging by the wet pools it looks like it just stopped raining. Or are they pools? If so increse the spec so it actually looks like water. Right now it looks like some matte surfaces that potentially could be water. Some wet papers and glossy…
JO, are you using a reference? With the stop sign and more recent building snafus, it seems more like you're building randomly what you think is right. The proportions on that first street show look weird. The street/sidewalk seem very thin. There isn't much space on the sidewalk for people to have a safe distance from…
