Righto, so I've put some variation into the ivy leaves, and cranked the bark displacement. The basic texturing for the desks/chairs/computers/drones are slapped on. Honestly it's surprising how many options you have with a rendering engine compared to a video game engine. I find it fun, but can spend all day fooling around…
Bonus Levels: Whipped up two more fun planets for Lost (Cow) in Space today... these two are "bonus levels" and were going to be optional if I ran out of time. Lucky for me, iClone makes it easy for Newbies, but I'll confess I also cheated a little with these two by using the same camera angles for the main character as…
WIP before bed. Added the clothes and started to work on some mid res' details. not sure if I should punch some holes in the back of the pants. No breakdown for the Render tonight. I'm way too tired right now, and I dont think that a breakdown of a render with no pretty stuff to render is a good idea either. So once I get…
Definitely fun, and a little trickier than it initially seems. It might be fun to space the hogs you're meant to defend out a little bit - as addictive as it is, the restriction of movement feels a little too confining right now. Spacing the hogs out and requiring some simple scrolling map navigation might make it a little…
I am a part time instructor in 3dcg to help pay the rent between freelance work. My department director is a woman. My girlfriend is a lawyer and makes more money than I will ever see. I know quite a few successful women who are constantly whining about their bums or boobs or age because women are just vocal about that. It…
i rembered not liking mass effect 1 that much but i decided to give 2 a try any way cause i had a few extra dollars aroun, got it on steam and was instantly hooked, all around fun experience. beat it in like 30 hours, lost 3 crew members tho :( so i decided to go back an give mass effect 1 a chance again, and i think this…
(Copied from my blog) It still not completely done to me, but Ive gotten to the point that, I dont know how to make the changes I'd like to make. When I come back to this I'll use substance to add details, I dont know substance right now so I'll have to learn it before i tackle this. I used quixel for this and really like…
I suggest you forget about texture and shading, and think about line instead. One exercise that always proves to be fun, is to make a face/figure with just one continued line. And i would really recommend getting a sketchbook, and using a pen to draw. This will help you focus on the linework. One usefull way to go about…
Also polycounts and texture sheets on all your images would be preferred. http://monstersplaynice.com/mantis.html <--this page has a link on it for---> http://monstersplaynice.com/mantis05.htnl which is mispelled so it doesn't work. http://monstersplaynice.com/portal.html You need to concentrate on consistency in your…
wow, thanks for all the info guys. I'd love do use something like the Torque2d engine but I'm just a poor student, and I cant really justify spending a couple hundred bucks for a little side project to have fun with. Unless I went 3d with the game it probably wont do me a lot of good when I graduate either, so it's just…
