Ok added them at max detail, but droped them from 1024x1024 to 512x512. If I were to give you just the links to the textures, not everyone would view them. Put them infront of people, and they will have an opinion and hopefully they will comment.
Please, excuse the Hi-jack here, but have any of you guys used gba roms? I just discovered the use of a flash card and usb cable and how easy it is to load several free gba games onto one temp. flash card for gameplay. And they run somewhere from 59.00 (256) to 94.00 (512) us dollars. Of course that is assuming any of the…
Yup what Xaltar said. Also try to avoid harsh white (or black) backgrounds it really does assault peoples eyes and wash out details. Go for a nice natural color like gray. Also if you're interested in lighting characters these links might be of interest to you? http://boards.polycount.net/showthread.php?t=51209 (A little…
Style: Is awsome, I love the look and over all shape, It has great character and weight. Big, bulky, robot mech lookin thing, who doesn't love that =) I think the one thing that is holding the model back is the skin and the unwrap job. I feel your pain about unwrapping. oh the pains of a day wasted playing tetris with UV…
You may need to adjust your monitor's default contrast levels, I used to have the same problem (it looking fine on my screen, but washed out on others). Some crits; I have to echo the poly distribution comments that were first brought up...as well as the concern over the texture style. What other types of games has the…
Thanks guys! I had a lot of fun with him. I wanted to make him look painterly so I didnt use many overlays and in the areas that I did, I typically ended up painting or smudging it back out. Now to answer a few questions: Rollin: When I think about WoW I think about exaggerated shapes. I had his buckle much smaller at one…
The main difference between Graphire and Intuos is the levels of pressure sensitivity, i.e. 512 vs 1024. As in twice as sensitive. The only way to appreciate it is to see for yourself, so if you're too poor, stick with Graphire and blissful ignorance. /jzero <-- went from UD-1212 to Intuous 2 (!!!!)
not too shabby for a first start. 1) Gotta work on blending the lips in. They are very duck bill-ish and obviously extruded as a way to make the detail, which is fine if they blend properly into the surrounding flesh. It will probably help to read up on the muscles of the face and really dig into the underlying anatomy. I…
$inz - fritz --> guys don't worry, im only asking so i learn a little more each day, if someone has good info on why 512 are better than this or that i like to hear about it. This is a great place for troubled and inquiring minds.
