@spiderDude & allmighty_thunder: Thank you guys! @Joseph: The main reason I don't do a lot of finished pieces is because I feel like my main weakness (in scenes anyways) is still composition and image layout so I tend to stop once the picture is laid out. I do have a lot of rendering studies planned though as well as some…
@BradMyers82, Thank you so much for your kind words! I needed that boost this week. There is always that fear that you are polishing a turd and I started to feel I might be doing that with this character. >.< I had baked down my textures but after getting some advice I decided to redo my uv layout. In my mind, this gave me…
I guess i should just keep praticing then.. I'm feeling a bit less clueless about hand painting now, less than i was before that is. Now my current project to improve both modeling and painting (also finally did my own UV layout rather than blender's smart UV) She's 800 tris, i'm painting on a 512 x 512 map inside blender.…
Been slacking and watching a lot of Batman lately instead of working on this. Got working on an update with closer to completion diffuse and normal maps, and experimenting with specular color with a test spec map. Changelog for this post: Added text to the diffuse, "Angelus Mortis" on his leg and the Oratio Dominica on the…
Great quality work! I love the textures and the look and feel of your work. Great website layout, too. The only thing I could critic is that the images take a moment to load while clicking through the show. That's a little annoying, even if it takes just a few seconds and it's maybe something that's not to good for a…
Looking good man. I still think this heli is slipping under the polycount radar and not getting enough love. For your final shots that you show in your portfolio hopefully you're planning to show the glass in all shots right? the cockpit seems fine except those screens stand out the most as not matching your topology.…
That's the problem, the yearly releases. I think your comment about us living in their construction site was spot on, Vig. And I certainly agree the horizontal layout was unjustifiable, so I suspect not a lot of thought went into that. The slowness is also inexcusable, and the promised improvements can't come soon enough…
Alright! It took me a day but I finally got it done. I have a new version online now. I took the advise of everyone and did a small redesign of the whole website. Things I improved are... Better layout at the homepage. Blog separate. Every mayor piece now has his own page with text about the piece. I hope these changes…
Admit you read this and see shades of "jurassic era monkey worrying about council tax" Dude.... Just learn to build him first Doesnt matter if he has super shared uv space... he still has no legs ... his gun is merely a tattoo. 1 texture layout for ALL of the character i'd say for 3rd person @ 1024 1 texture for the main…
its not a simple ASCI file I already looked into that but instead some very old keyboard format *.KBD (Keyboard Script File Layout) that stores key sequences. More info here: http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/kbd I want to create some day a maxscript that overwrite certain commands with my preferred shortcuts without the…
