Ok, I think im about ready for zed brush. maybe a few minor tweaks to do , but i think ill tessalate the metal parts for the mormal bake , and take the organic parts into zed brush for the sculpt but with the metal parts still there as a point of reference.
From an every-day-life perspective: I dont mean to be racist, but comming from an area that used to be nice and subsequently turned intoa ghetto by illegal immigrants, i have to take my stand on this as opposing illegal immigration. it's nothing personal, but my home used to rest in a nice park area 2 years ago. More and…
Thanks everyone :D @Slosh - It's diffuse, spec, & normals @Brian - I'm especially proud of getting that in @Lt_Commander - I'm not sure how much I can divulge as far as the tech goes. I'll ask around and see exactly what can be told. But as far as the spec goes, we use an RGBA texture with each channel controlling a…
Thanks Taylor, that's a lot of great feedback. Gotta be honest with myself there. The WIP was part of an game I was working on with friends that folded right after so I haven't gotten back to it. I can see why that would hurt the portfolio. Would you recommend scrapping what I've got and starting on smaller projects,…
If you're working in the industry, doesn't that pretty much mean you're already a professional? I think what you're asking is "should I give up this job to work on my skillset?" - is that what you're asking? A bit more info would be useful, but right now I'd say just keep working on the job, and try tackling the stuff you…
I never took a sculpture class, I do recommend playing with sculpey. One of my projects involved me drawing a scary creature head, making it with Super Sculpey, and then recreating it with Max and Mudbox. I got through the last part fast because my brain was already familiar with the dimensions. I think the tactile aspect…
Thanks all, I wasn't aware of the Monster Hunter part of it, so I'll definitely keep that in mind. I googled some of their armor sets. I'm still working on a design I like for the shield, I want to put some horns on it likely, but differentiate it from Braum's shield, which also has horns.
I have been very much considering making my own videos about the more obscure side of modelling for awhile now, but I suppose the big thing has been finding the best method to explain things. Part of me is hoping someone else here may have archived info from some of the threads or websites that are gone/images missing,…
Wow its been that long, okay well then time for an update, clothing is being worked on had to figure out M.D. Now to get good topology and uv's. Dark spots are breathable/stretchable/waterproof so you can understand the design, yes it waz a trench coat but i "enhanced" the idea, and i like it better now, i'll match the…
looks like you did a really good job, well done getting it all finished! I think you could add some warmer tones here and there to give it more focus and charm, it seems a bit too cold all over to me and there is some sort of sharpen on some parts making it look a bit scratchy on the eyes. I think it would be nice if it…
