these are off to a good start, and theres been some good points made about all, my interpatation of the one withthe 4 holes is that its been punched you see that type of hole on a lot of industrial metal, although the useable side usualy used the inside concave slope of the punch, I have taken to actualy rendering my…
Ah, thanks MoP. Just the automatic unwrapping on the high then. Last time I tried that the base level of my sculpt was pretty high poly and I didn't understand what the AUVRatio slider did -- so the automatic tiles didn't distribute well. I'll have to give that another go now that I understand the automatic unwrapping. ---…
Does the little blue light blink a lot occasionally, and sometimes you get a "USB Device Not Recognized" error from windows, or does it just not respond to the mouse or the pen? Have you tried the diagnostics to see if the tablet is communicating with the computer? If not open the Wacom Tablet Properties, click About, then…
What a lovely texture you got going on this sweet trailer ! I really like the different color values you got going on the red side of things, which makes it really interesting to look at - what could potentially be a totally boring repetetive plane. Great job on that ! What kinda caught me off-guard was the line where you…
Hey Frump, nice start man - its going to be an awesome learning challenge adapting your skills and techniques for miniature modelling - at least i know it was for me lol. What cheese said is spot on, from my own experience of making miniatures at the same scale your talking, many of the small details wont be captured at…
I was engaged for about two years during college, and if we went through with it I'd probably be married now at 22. stuff went kinda sour though and we realized it probably wasn't for the best, plus it was both of our first relationships, which could kinda taint our view on things. it ended rather conveniently right as I…
Well... I pretty much never snap faces to be honest. I almost never snap anything other than verts, since I find them a lot easier to manage. If there's a face I want to snap I'll hold CTRL and shift over to vert mode before doing the snap. Just a personal preference. It's also pretty rare that I use any other snap type…
sorry John_Warner if i offended you.. i have removed the avatar so i wouldnt offend you or anyone else... i thought is was a good composition and the way the exit wound frames the shot of the people in front seat.. it was pretty clever and a neet way to pull a composition together.. i had no idea people would associate it…
Hello everyone! I am revisiting Polycount after 7 years! Oh man. I have not been on here since I was in college. I was in a different state of mind at that time and knew almost nothing about the video gaming industry. I am finishing up some freelance for a series of miniatures that I am working on. Once these are completed…
Glad you're going forward with this, I think it's a great concept and if executed well will make a great addition to a portfolio. I think at the moment the textures are really killing it though; they're entirely too photosource, especially with the alphas. My advice would be to hold off on adding those decorative elements…
