for scratches and dents a combination of the "Trim Dynamic", "dam standard" and the "Mallet Fast" brushes should be a good starting point. should allow you to quickly rough up the edges of things and if you want to put some damage on a flater area you will need to push it in a bit with a standard and claytubes brush and…
black for sure, it reacts with the specular better. my biggest problem lies with the metal though. it looks like you just added some random cloudy grunge to it without thinking about the real materials first. the real M24 is actually quite flat like many guns, and even with the most intense damage, it wouldn't wear like…
If you are going to make a low poly game model, you should start by looking around for similar or identical game models to what you want to make. This is a good practice, because then you will get an idea for the level of realism you will have to at least achieve, if not beat. I decided to go ahead and help you with that:…
Thanks a lot everyone. @danjohncox - It was a mixture of sculpting in damage and using alphas. I'm slowly learning to go bolder with the detail passes as subtle detail, while it looks good in high poly, doesn't always transfer well. @Slave_zero - It all varies. We have some amazing concept artists here. Sometimes we get…
I think you're moving ahead too fast on this without putting in the time to work out proper sculpting of forms and details in the accessories. I think the fur you have on the head piece doesn't look like fur right now. It feels like you went over it a few times with the standard and inflate brush but it's just ridges. I…
I loved the tech insider video, +recognized UE4 running on their computers. I wonder how disorienting something like that could be? VR in portal? IE I wonder what would happen if someone trips and falls with that expensive gear. Still, pretty cool to see virtual reality mapping to an actual physical space. I wonder how it…
Sony PSN servers were just as secure as almost every other company that holds credit card information was and is to this day running on the latest stable Apache software. People need to realize that this wasn't because of a software blunder on Sony's part but more on the part of determined hell bent hackers who had a…
Really awesome to see your progress! Definitely use some reference of shoulder pads or other models for lighting. I'd also suggest reducing the amount you use any textured brushes. If you want a clean, hand-painted look, I'd highly suggest sticking with the round and air brush. I'm not very familiar with Blender, but I'd…
Thanks!) Yeah, everybody says it reminds of Borderlands, I guess I should play it) Thanks! Well, this is not supposed to be very realistic) It's for drilling holes in ice in case you decide go ice fishing) It doesn't spray acid, it shoots acid projectiles which break on contact with target. It's double barrel so you can…
Yo dawg, plagiarizing a poem or something is a little different from using reference when creating art. I wouldn't put too much stock into what your English teacher tells you in this field. It's definitely a fantastic learning exercise to copy something, and if you want to make better art your goal should be to LEARN.…
