Update - Apologies for the lack of updates! Its not that I havent been working on it, but ive actually redone a large portion of this section as I really wasnt happy with it. It didnt feel right, so I redid it with a more industrial art deco style in mind. Ive added strengthening supports to the glass, a hand rail, opened…
Yes I took the leaf off the reference; finagled it in size and direction to create the leaf bunches; then created a 'blob' of six colors picked from the leaves in the reference to overlay on the bunches. The hair, skull and branches are straight hand painted. The statue was made from 6 layers consisting of a base color,…
Unless i';m mistaken a state militia of national guard has to be activated before it's answerable to the federal government, so in a situation where a state wanted to secede or rebel or whatever they could just retain command of them. That may not be the way it works anymore. And the conventional victory would be capture…
@DustinBrown Nice crits! 1. Hey, good eye! I have been using dog skeletal reference. Maybe I should rename this piece to "skeleton dog"! I'll try bringing his head down and see if that makes him a bit more menacing. 2.Hmm, I may have to test this out as well! 3. Yeah, I did not place as much fur on the rear end as the…
Thanks for the feedback. Here are some of the diffuse maps that are used in the scene: I like how Naughty Dog did all the little details like the flashlight color bleeding effect or all the little details on their characters. You are right that the vegetation is spreading very quickly when there is no one to cut that. Good…
Your paint has become very noisy, it might seem realistic to add noise and dirt and can completely understand why you have done it. But it also begins to stop looking like paint. I always try to keep any surface paint as noise free as possible, its what gives it that paint look rather than plaster. Painted metal is…
The fingers look completely broken... The little broken pillars around the pool could use some variety. I'm sure you could make some taller without the texture stretching being too obvious. Maybe even delete one or two. Add some nature to it. Where ever there is water, you can never go wrong with moss (and what moss you do…
@DavidCruz great to see you back, loving the gun model. Looks like the ammo chamber could do with some bevelling/smoothing but other than that it's looking great. @Pshyco Thanks for the feedback on the head, I feel like I've spent too much time looking at it so I'm taking a break for now and start it again with fresh eyes…
Here is the story, in amazing 99 words (I should add one somewhere...): The dust of the crumbled castle, the stench of rotting flesh and scrapping of bug-legs on the ground. The ruins had been the only home he knew, the rotting flesh from the carcasses of his people and the bugs were his pets. Survivors told him who the…
Units are now in CM. Light decays via the 1/distance^2 like in real life. Stadium lights are like 50-60 thousand lumens. A fridge light is under 300. :) If you happen to have a fridge in a stadium, just make the internal light level 300, and the spot lights in the stadium 55000 each, and you should have a good baseline for…
