You could definitely push the texture more before you call it down. It looks like you're missing a lot of the cool details that cover the skin. Also pay attention to how shiny and wet the skin looks whereas yours looks kind of flat. The creatures eye gets lost against the skin as well, could definitely make the eye value…
I love that idea. The only thing I'm not too keen on is the eyes being on the ends of bones. For one thing, it doesn't make the most sense (not that it really has to, but still), for another, I'm not sure how much you'll be able to do with them animation wise. Could you put them on something more articulated? Maybe they…
I agree with anthony about animating what you're passionate about - it will turn out better than something you're forcing yourself to produce. It also depends on what part of the industry you want to get in to (games / vfx / feature film). If you include a lot of cycles then you're tailoring it for games. If you're…
"If Elof feels lucky to have found his place in life, you wouldn’t know it from his cantankerous temperament. His story began when he could no longer afford the small plot of land that he loved. His landowner offered him a position as a security guard in return for allowing him to continue living there, which suited Elof…
Right, which is why I wouldn't want it (currently) used instead of English. But like in that Goblins example, it's still within your suspension of disbelief that you're in a Goblin world. So you just assume they speak Goblin. Worked for me when I was a kid even with that very limited vocabulary. But then looking at modern…
Hey @Rmunday I spoke with a lecturer and I don't have to use ue4 for my project, I can just do two different animations which may be better. I think having animations setup in UE4 would be pretty cool but I'm just not skilled enough to complete animations and set it up in ue4 in 24 weeks. For the two animations I'm…
I just thought this up: survival game, you play a strange fantastical creature trying to survive on the decaying corpse of a dead god. Mold & fungus for food maybe small carrion bugs take the place of small game. and an idea I had in the past: City Sim where you start out with an unwinnable situation and you have options…
I keep waiting for them to hammer out the kinks with Vista but it looks like they are just calling it "WindowsME" and skipping to the next version. I really have to wonder how long a company can keep fucking up, and still stay on top. Every day I see charter buses full of MS employees zipping up and down the freeway,…
Hey, check this out i found this comic book long time ago at someones garage sale for 3 bucks. This is the "death of the phoenix" issue that they did way back in the day. I dont know if anybody cares but i figured that id show yall this just for kicks In this comic the Phoenix is alot darker than in the model. i think that…
Ok so now for some character work i've been doing as well. Again this project has been forcing me to learn so much new stuff that its slow going but extremely rewarding.The character is a form of big game hunter, his prey is a form of giant beetle/insect, his weapons and armor are as such mostly made from the carapace of…
