I now finished the Campaign and had a glance at the MP and Zombies mode, and the Campaign is really good. The background story and writing is not that good at places, (the enemy being comically evil with no sane motivation or reason) but the campaign itself and gameplay is very well done and its a lot of fun with some good…
Hey camie, your work is quite strong so far and from what you've posted I wouldn't say that you've got too bad an understanding of lighting, especially for someone who's not sure how confident they are in that area. As for colour, I will say that it can be a tricky thing to get the hang of, especially when so many…
I just wanted you to re-install the software to see that there was nothing wrong with the software itself. And by "clean" I meant uninstalling properly and make sure no old files were left behind. I tried it out with those masking presets. I do not get the same results as you do, which is a bit odd. I believe I do have an…
You're doing good, you've come a long way from the first post too. My advice if you'd like it: 1 - Make sure to work in the lowest subdiv possible. This will alleviate some of the muddiness of the sculpt seen in the curving areas (back of skull from profile view, ears, etc.) 2 - Weakest part right now is the ears. Ears are…
Other things you should consider: 1) Removing your house from the concrete slab and just putting it on the terrain. Right now doesn't really feel like it fits in the scene. 2) Using a mask to help blend the transition between your dirt and grass terrain texture. Right now you just have a soft linear fade which could be…
Just found this post and read on one of the comments that vertex painting is missing from Cinema 4D. Yes, like some said, there is Vertex Painting that acts like a kind of soft selection that can be used in compound materials using the Vertex Map shader. But it is not the same as real Vertex Painting or Poly Painting, like…
EQ called fans of all sports fat, I said only in football can the fat fans be confused for the players. Meaning that in other popular sports athletes are "athletic" and being as fat as possible isn't a good thing. But in football it can be a big plus. The ads the NFL runs, the sponsors that include the NFL are typically…
@plord Thanks for the tip! I'm gonna fix those UV's and go back into the sculpt to mess around, then ill try a higher res bake @xelan101 You're right... after hearing that and looking back at my sculpt it is feeling pretty soft and not as defined as it should be for those types of materials. I'm really loving your sculpt…
Fantastic write-up, Joe, thank you for explaining these concepts in a detailed and clear manner. Have you thought about teaching a class? Also interesting and insightful discussion following, thanks everyone! My two cents regarding the last two comments.... If you are modeling and baking in the same software, then the low…
You're welcome, and I also support your reasoning, seems solid. I'm a total sub-d noob seeing as how I'm still knee deep in 445's ak tut, but in the grand tradition of polycount and other online art forums, I as a relative noob will advise you :) I think you've done a great job with the all-important details on the back of…
