Hi, I'm new to these forums altogether but was guided this way for good, honest (and sometimes brutal) criticism for my 3D modelling. I am relearning 3DS max after a year of post-grad freelance illustration so that I can break into the games industry, and have started by loosely following a tutorial for a male character.…
Well I decided to put my XML tires to use after one last rebuild. So now I've moved on to an M1130 command vehicle with slat armor and a 'Duke' antenna. Right now its very rough with no optimization, just blocking out everything I want to include, after that I'll go low and high. I'm currently looking at 6908 tris. I'd…

yeah - do what selaznog and luke/calabi are saying - get yourself second set of UV's (say map channel 2 - dont worry - these are only temporary - in the end you'll be using your original set of UV's) -> get that big round element straightened out (so it looks like rectangle with all loops and rings going…
Nice job! I miss a lot of anatomical structure. I think you could really benefit by practice sculpting figures. The character looks floaty to me. The pose is weightless and there seems to be no physics with regards to stretching and pressure of the costume which misses volume. The structure and the physics is what helps…
konstruct - Thanks and yes, Luke is a badass. Good SC player too :P rooster - yeah I am not sure. I think I am going with face. He is sort of a demon. There is a skull on his chin and one on the back of the head you can't really see in the render. woogity - No horns? That is like telling me to not have glowwie bits on my…
I know what you mean. One of my teacher was like that as well, he'd be saying how some of the recruiters he talked to were getting tired of "seeing another generic half-naked Elfish woman, I want to see something like a old woman smoking a cigarette". I'm inclined to agree with that to a certain extent. I still think…
Luke: Thanks for the tip about the normals! Although I don't use crazybump, guilty as charged for a map here and there (def for the books/fabrics at least; tend to use the whole diffuse). I got a sense that I might be doing something wrong, cause i'd load up an object or plane with the textures set to them in marmoset and…
@Tectonic Those samples are great, I'm a huge fan of creature box. I'm going to work on a few concepts for the feet this weekend and hopefully find something that works. @root Thanks so much! I'm really pleased with how rapidly I'm becoming more comfortable with sculpting. I did consider a tail for a while, but for a few…
But he's not paying himself, did not take out a loan to cover expenses because he quit his job, or incurring additional expenses other than more electricity used :P. Nor is he taking time off work. When he's done with the project, the out of pocket expenses will still be $400 or so. I saw an indie blog where the guy…
