Useful thread - lots of things to try out ! On a side note, if anyone is interested : I recently experimented with an Elgato HD capture card, in the hope of offloading most of the encoding calculations away from the computer. The device is absolutely perfect for console footage capture at 720p/1080p, and works quite well…
Very good model and textures. :) Just two ideas for improving it further - First thing is the wear seems too blurred and too bright (at least the most visible one). I think it would look much better if you sharpen it a bit and make it a lot less visible in the diffuse. What I usually do, when painting metal, is blurring…
Here's a miniref board I made for ya with a couple of different samples that may or may not help since ultimately it's up to where you want to take it. I mostly just did a search for winter clothing, jackets, sweaters, etc and then thought of a couple of more movies in winter such as the thick coats they use (much like the…
For the workshop I will not be covering things like RGB Channel textures. I only have 3 and a half hours and I already know that will be cutting it close to try and show off everything I want too. Not to mention I dont want to overload people with information that they just become confused as I have seen that all too…
Great result, and you must be glad to finally be done after a two month project! I have a tip for taking shots in Marmoset: decrease your camera's field of view! It's way too intense right now, and while this can be an interesting way to present environments (to give them a lot of extreme depth), it's generally a bad idea…
Hi :) Great work so far ! Can't wait to see it finished ! The overall looks really good and I 'm agreed with the feedbacks you already received ! Since I'm not a big expert in foliage, I let that for other people to critic ( looks good to me !) but I did some paint over on some of your textures. I think, especially for the…
Thanks, I will try and make it less Greek/Roman if I can. The collar was taken from Chinese style dresses, so I think it will probably be fine , right? In a lot of the Chinese Armour I looked at they had lots of layers of cloth/leather/metal so I tried to use that idea by making lots of horizontal lines in the Armour. (The…
Snader: thanks for your comment, with regards to stuff like file name and compression, the site I'm using compresses it, and the site I upload to the image host changes the file name lol Thanks for bringing it up though, I'll trying correcting these. And thanks for your crits on the presentation of some of them, I'll…
The real irony of this film is that Zack Snyder's first original story would have been better handled by a different director. The idea of a mental patient "escaping" from her grim reality through fantastical sojourns could have made for a good movie. But Mr. Snyder created too much of a schism between the two "realities."…
Well guys, my time is up! I want to give a big shout out to all you guys who gave me advice and tips. I tried implementing everything suggested to the best of my ability and within this deadline. The final renders which I have submitted are below. Of course, any critique is still welcomed and will be remembered by myself…
