Cool study! At first glance I still think there are areas that are too slow and don't have enough pop. One thing I had a problem with when I started animating was giving the audience enough credit. What I mean is- if you animate an anticipation and follow-through well enough the audience will fill in the gap of action in…
Some musings on geometry in zbrush... SubD- Standard geometry to work with for most people. You have the upside of subdivision levels which allow you to modify big forms in a forgiving way, but the downside of being restricted by your original basemesh. Dynamesh- Dynamesh isn't overly smart, all it wants to do is make nice…
Still quietly working on my art. I've been learning a lot these past few months. Which means I become even more stupid lol.... This is a zombie based on the concept by Max Davenport. https://maxdavenport.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/grundar.jpg https://maxdavenport.wordpress.com/ Dude's a beast. I did this to learn the…
First off. Motherboard is dead so this has been put off til my computer works again. I have a couple more to post but I hadn't yet transferred them to my other two drives when the motherboard died. Wawe - I understand what you mean, but I feel like this allows me to give a much larger percentage of my time to the art…
Very interesting - been watching the previous trailer over the last few days and there was something I couldn't quite put my finger on. Now with this one it's a bit more clear : I think it's a bit early to say that this one will be more serious or less cheesy than the Arnie one (not talking about the original short story…
First of all, I would like to say that this is all in my humble opinion 1) Doesn't matter, at all. I go between the two, but really, as long as your work rocks- you're fine. 2) Depending on how weak you feel it is, most of the time it is best to just cull it or replace with better work 3) As far as your Tatiana environment…
Thanks for the replies guys. haikai: you are so right. I really started this project off on a bad note and should have fleshed out a 2d concept. I initially wanted to get used to the sculpting tools in Mud as I'm more used to ZB, and also see how I could handle sculpt design on the fly. I can not. darbeenbo, PixelGoat:…
Thanks everyone! Really kind of you all to say such positive things. I'm glad it wasn't just us that liked where this was going. Regarding Kickstarter, it's definitely something we considered. The truth is there seems to be one of two ways to succeed in a Kickstarter campaign: * You submit a project that's mostly finished…
Caldria - Sorry, I think I misunderstood your first post - I suddenly realize that the 'blade things' don't really make any sense and are a result of me misinterpreting my shrimp reference. Haha thanks for pointing that out, I will definitely need to redesign the front legs to work xD Tenchi - I really like your idea for…
Hey guys! thanks a lot for the comments and encouragement, i store it all up in my "resevior of love" and save it for those times that MAX makes me want to put my wacom pen in my eyesocket. Some good suggestions, getting me to focus in the right direction. TGZ, Spacey: Yeah i can see what you mean. I did intend to keep the…
