Re: How Can I Take this Further?
I'd suggest really going back and defining what this character is all about. what's his story? What's he do for a living? Is he good at it or does he suck at it? These are the kind of questions you have to ask yourself in order to make a character come to life. I did a quick paintover based on your design. I hope it helps!… -
Re: Concept Heavy Armor Cleaner Suit
I mean the lines in his drawing. A lot of times in painting if you leave the lines from your sketch your drawing visible, or if you rely on them to define your shapes rather than defining them with the actual values or colors - it can flatten the look of an image. I got the impression that he was looking to further define… -
Re: My Very First 3d Game Character
I think it looks off because it lacks bony landmarks and defined, "sharper" areas. If you compare the sculpt against, say, Roman head sculptures, your head and anatomy end up reading poofy and bubbly, Andrea. Most faces tend to have defined, sharper features along with the soft curves: zygomatic arches, the temple of the… -
Re: Sketchbook: TomYi
Hi, thanks for your comment : ) This process and method wasn't mine, but i do learn a lot from it. It needs you to keep the composition simple and readable in the early stage, no need to define everything in the scene. Later duplicated your first image using darken or brighter blend mode to flourish your scene (of course… -
Re: Half-Life 2 Model Pack
Well you need to export 2 kinds of smds, the "sequences" and the "reference". The sequences contain the bone information, the reference also contains the bone information as well as the mesh. The materials are easily defined, the structure basically starts in the games "materials/" folder, then you just put in the correct… -
Re: Glosiness Texture Sheet Help.
Gloss is also commonly referred to as the Exponent of your Specular. Specular generally has two parts that define it, Strength and Exponent. What you refer to as your "Specular" map is actually your "Specular Strength" map, and your "Gloss" map is actually your "Specular Exponent" map. To quote the valve wiki: Exponent… -
Re: Papa Grande
It may just be me but I feel that it's damn a shame to have such a beautiful texture on such a boxy model. The texture is painted to perfection and the model looks unfinished. Either way the model definately needs some love. There are a few spots where there are wasted polys that could be utilized to define the silloette… -
Re: mediumpoly girl
Looks pretty sweet. I like how confident the shading is, when texturing females its very easy to make the texture too plain. Having said that I reckon you should start thinking about defining sharp changes in surface angle through tonal contrast instead of using lines as if you were drawing the details. A good example is… -
Re: Please help me make my scenario better
Hi! I think with what's here, both the mesh shading and the surfaces can be improved. Some modules, such as frames/arches, would benefit from more detailed models. With wooden structures in particular, I think it's important to get the grain direction of the wood right. To improve the mesh shading, I would add some sharp… -
Re: [WIP] "Retro" Bedroom
@polysteve good start! I understand the temptation to jump into the prompts before nailing down the composition but you are doing it backwards. First settle on a composition. Have a point of view. Have a focal point. Than define the lighting. And then work on the props. Prop artist is hardly a position anymore and it's all…
