Hey man nice work with this character. There are definitely some crits and issues to be addressed with future projects, so I'll try and describe the most significant ones below. The first issue, and most possibly the most important, is to have a clear design goal. I read that this was a re-design inspired by other fan art…
24. Texturing: Specular, Gloss, Emissive, Alpha I dont want to go into too much detail here as there are many in-depth articles covering this topic, but I do want to go over the basics to help out the newer artists. Specular maps are used to control the specular intensity of reflections on a material; the higher the…
Make art or else!..........? Why do you care about what i do and why do you think its okay to be rude to someone for not posting art? Thats what we're talking about here. Also, do i get to be rude back without getting banned (yeah right...!)? You have no idea what im trying to accomplish, what my life is like, theres a…
Dev Blog 03 Hi guys, here is the final development blog of the crash-site scene, and the development process behind it and what led to the final piece. Inspiration Concept Initially this project was drawing inspiration from the above concept, this involved the creation of a plane crash in the scene. However in an effort to…
That industrial ship isn't entirely worthless, I'd hang on to it because you'll want to use it to transport your ore (or whatever else you get) between bases. Lucky for you, the most recent patch (as of just a few weeks ago) completely buffed the various mining ships (I'm assuming that's what you're interested in?) and…
hey Daz, to be blunt you can shove yer boredom up yer arse m8! It's easy to sit on high and dispense with reason and say you are bored. The facts of the matter are that the Union of Crowns was established upon Blackmail and corruption and rigged to ensure that Scotland had a representative percentage of 1/6 the parliament…
OK I figured out what the export between MAX and CryEngine is for Cameras - I'm gonna make a proper write-up of this at some point but this might be helpful for you already: The CryEngine expects Collada files to not use a unified Matrix and to have FOV values in y-FOV (the height of your screen is important, not the…
Ok, so after about a day of messing with the aria here are my thoughts: Good: 1. Very response, even with the 600mhz processor i've yet to find much that slows it down. 2. Android is awesome, and HTC's version of android seems to have an acceptable amount of bloatware. Sure there is a bunch of preloaded apps you cant…
Only you can decide that but I can share my decision, I Quit Uni and went down the rocky self taught path. Reason being I wanted/want to do 3d modeling, that's why I started University in the first place. Going in I was bombarded with drawing and design courses. I didn't mind and enjoyed the courses like color theory,…
You have a really damn solid base right now but imo you're just at the beginning of the texturing process (You've made the wrong barrel btw ;) ). The first thing I would do is define your materials better. The paint really doesn't look like paint, and the rubber handles don't quite look like rubber. Changing up hues,…
