Your props look good although that cannon could do with some material variety and the stockade could do with another texture pass. Your tileable materials are pretty good too, but it truly is your environment that is lacking. For the environment, it seems like in design proportions you were going for a stylised art style,…
With garments like this, something you may also need to consider pretty often is how you are going to apply a pattern -- like embroidery or whatever. Much easier if you keep things aligned in parallel/perpendicular lines. If you are working with Marvelous Designer, check this out…
It really depends on how you built it? I suggest modeling a flat piece of high poly tire tread that tiles, copy it a few times in a flat straight row. Do the same for a low poly tile. You can then unwrap it while its still flat or unwrap just one of the tiles before you copy and save yourself some UV space its up to you.…
They pulled a new, improved version of their hardware out on an unsuspecting populace. For the video game players, this is all well and good. Their might be a little regret for anyone who bought a 360 in the past month or so. But the rest of us certainly don't mind having more options. But this was a royally dick move for…
Blender is the best friend of indie developers and hobbyists, but is generally looked down on for those with more serious budgets. The fact that its open source and community-supported will always mean that it will be behind the industry standard in terms of performance. And the interface is never going to be especially…
[ QUOTE ] Just because you're going for photorealism doesn't mean you have to remove the core traits of the anime characters. [/ QUOTE ]It depends on your concept of photorealism. If you're just taking the existing characters and giving them some more realistically shaded textures and naturalistic faces then by all means…
Very interesting - been watching the previous trailer over the last few days and there was something I couldn't quite put my finger on. Now with this one it's a bit more clear : I think it's a bit early to say that this one will be more serious or less cheesy than the Arnie one (not talking about the original short story…
Be careful, I had a 500GB hard drive (Western Digital if that matters)... it decided one day that it was going to pack up. I then had this "It also doesnt appear in my computer anymore but does in device manager."... would hear the noise of it connecting even, but unable to access it. I would also suggest taking it apart…

You've got the basic down, now you need to learn to step up into more advance low poly techniques. It's not all about solid meshes, it's smoke and mirrors to trick the eye into believing it's seeing something more detailed that it is. Your character is very boxy a few reason: 1) you modeled everything as a box instead of a…
