Fantastic hand poop, looking at my own mesh now makes me cry. For some reason I can look a billion times on a shape and still dont get the geometry Do ya'll start with a box and take it from there? Use ref in ortho or just photos on the sideline? On a side note, thanks for the video tutorials on you site poop
@Astrocoolbug Hey sry been away and some how my explorer refuses to keep the pass for here so its ahead ache looking for it. Anywho in a comp atm, but looks like you did what i would've suggested in that you look at your work critically (which you've done really well) also looking at the over watch stuff doesn't hurt…
Yo! I have been working hard at this project but had a lil' problem with my login in here at Polycount, so I couldn't keep the thread up to date. I've more or less finished the high poly in Max. As I said at the start of this thread I made up a new sci-fi type weapon system. What was the IR light (I assume) on the original…
A Fire Extinguisher. The Forward Operating Bunker (FOB) by its very nature is an enclosed environment. Fire is a huge threat, not only during the initial Nuclear Exchange (INE) but also during every day life. Water is a possibility but you run the risk of damaging vital electronic systems, as well as the issue with large…
Funny, I never got that impression you mention in your last paragraph, Sandbag. What I got from it was the way things are done now, are much more elaborate and thought out NOW because 'back then' there were bigger fish to fry. In fact, Halme went out of his way to say that other forms of art direction are also good and…
Hiya @AXEL, been following this for a while now and I can see that you are a bit stuck, or overwhelmed by the project, it is looking great so far, but a lot of stuff is missing the little details like you said in the previous comment. I would suggest you try to improve the waters edge, I have attached an image below to…
I would say your Cambodian scene has the most potential but still could be improved. Your stone texture on the pillars and just above them are more towards the quality you want to be aiming for. Your floor texture looks a little shiny in some shots but looks like a fairly solid floor slab texture I would make just adjust…
Yeah, I'm kinda in your position. I've felt that maybe my art isn't good enough, since i don't get any jobs, or that my portfolio doesn't show my current skill anyways. I've thought of applying for another 2 year of education and realized that it's not worth it. Sure, you'll be in an great environment and you'll really…
Hey man, In both cases your foreshortening is really off and that its really destroying the feeling of space and the values are muddy making everything feel wobbly. If you pick 1 or 2 pieces I can draw into them in the coming weeks. As far as subject matter I'll only go over the 2 you directly posted. The first one is…
Rather than snidely disreguard this interesting discussion as futile, I'll try to contribute something meaningful. I realize there are some who weren't around for the first go round or it's successions, and who could benefit from hearing many points of view on this matter. Photosourcing is fine, I do alot of it. I use it…
