Personally, I'd recommend getting the marmoset toolbag for composites. But maybe that's because of how familiar I am with it, and I've never opened blender. You can download the trial version for free that has a small watermark in the corner (very, very easy to shoop out) If Marmoset is the route you want to take, check…
The stickied thread 'FAQ: How u model dem shapes? Hands-on mini-tuts for mechanical sub-d AKA ADD MORE GEO' is always a good place to go when something has you stumped, while taking in observations for future endeavors. Usually just post an image of the problem, and someone will come along with a solution for you. If you…
Thanks for your feedback guys. @oxblood Just started textureing the rifle so its just a wood overlay and base colors for now :) Here's some progress on the head I'm finding it difficult to add too much definitions to his face with making him look very old. Kinda wanna keep him looking 25-30 years old. I also tried…
I was just thinking about this last night, I had given up on the poor furless dik dik. What I was doing for baking seemed to work pretty well, but got frustrated trying to get the fur working and colored the way I wanted. Maybe I should finish it, I hate that unfinished smell in my projects folder. I'll work on it this…
I think there's your problem. If she's 15-17 years old, she's too tall proportionally. 7 heads high is for a fully developed adult, so I think scaling up the head just a tad would set things right, or maybe shortening the neck (which seems to be on the long side as is). Also perhaps I would suggest shrinking the forehead…
Hello everyone out there. I hope everyone's week is kicking off well. I haven't posted on here in a long time put wanted to get back into the swing of things. What I am working on is a portfolio piece that I started the end of last year but got swamped with stuff and very behind on her. It is a character that is made by…
@Deniell yes i think literally everybody faces that struggle on day to day basis. It's just completely normal. It's why there is so many "how to overcome procrastination" videos on youtube. I have consumed a lot of tutorials in the past two years. Usually there is going to be several tutorials covering the same thing. So…
The head looks alright, but some of the things you're saying kind of worry me. You've still got some learning to do to make a really nuanced and impressive looking character, so try to keep an open mind and don't be too defensive of your work. Swizzle gave a lot of great feedback and insight. Also, on the note of the hair,…
3D Motive is genuine as far as I know. Cant vouch on quality since I haven't watch many of their tuts. Check out the Gumroad reviee thread we have here, see if there's anything you like.
Real quick I just searched and found these basic examples through Google. There are a lot of basic UV layout tutorials of boxes out there making it shaped liked this: http://www.ozone3d.net/~geeks3d/public/satyr/200909/gettingstartedwithblender3/images/uvmatching.jpg However, with game engines, normal maps and hard edges…
