He's just a grumpy shit by nature; he's lived in three different environments over the years, urban and rural, and a clean bill of health, so nothing physical or environmental. He was as healthy and spoiled and well looked after as could be. I think, just like people, you get a gamut of personality types in animals. I…
Check out your site...I think the header at the top is still too big and I'm looking at it your site on a 17" monitor as it is. I'd like to see the two bottom characters that you have as soon I open up the page so maybe put 5 characters in one row to make them all fit in that same area. Doing that and trimming the header…
Ben, i'm kind of on a tight time budget, as i'm making two demo reels before GDC one for my characters and one for my level props. So this weekend i have to have the character demo reel done for the characters. That means some drops in quality , that and i have been working on this bastarrd for WAY too long. Vig, thanks…
Reading the WashPost story tells the whole tale. The police had two things in mind when they investigated: Columbine, and real terrorists. It's not like they really thought the 11-year-old is a terrorist. They didn't detain him, right? He's not going to Gitmo. They're quoted as saying that when a student makes rashly…
Dumpster spec needs some love man. Stickers / posters / plaster and metal should read differently. The two materials have a lot of potential to make it look great. Not sure I'm diggin the total metal tops. Though I've seen dumpsters like this, the traditional plastic tops add nice contrast (both in color and material…
I've been working on Sparc for the new Luxinia .97 release that is hopefully uploaded today. I uploaded some youtube videos and also made some wip screenshots, thought I could pimp that progress here Sparc stands for Space Arcade and is just a working title. The original version looked like this: That version had a static…
Update! Since the last post, I've put a lot of time into establishing a base-pass for the mech overall. My thinking has been that if I can get the groundwork established for the texturing, then I can adjust and tweak as needed and continuously improve as I progress to the end of the project. This began with setting up the…
that's actually pretty impressive for ipad. She's leaning too much forward. Wrists are too thin. Pick up a copy of Anatomy for Sculptors. I don't know if the ipad version comes with subtools, but Zbrush is prepackaged with Ryan's ecorche model that you can drag in to compare and reference
The best thing to keep the model as one whole mesh is to have two unwraps with two different uv sets going on but you need two differrnt map channels. You also need to use a mask texture that will blend the two barks. Then you could use a multi sub obj or a composite material to view it in max or whatever the equivalent of…
Suggestions on cool stuff to do. I am a huge World War two buff so hit me with all you got as well as nightlife stuff as well and vacationing there on the cheap. Beer suggestions too. Hell just anything that is generally cool to do. I have a week or so.
