Thanks for the advice @pior (It's really good advice!), but the problem isn't that I can't do (or haven't already done) the work for what I'm asking -- it's that I want to find a better way than how I've already been doing it -- and for that, yes, I am asking for help. The whole point of this thread was to ask for advice…
@Rens: Rens! awesome to hear from you! it seems that it has been far too long pal! @Firebert: yeah its slick and totally free. when threewave shut down like 3 other uys used it as thier quick set up portfolio sites. it's not too bad ;D. thanks for the comments on the chicks! i still need a lot of work. @InProgress: do…
Both have their own benefits and drawbacks. I will list what they are for me but you're the one who has to give both a try and decide for yourself which is better. Here's what I observed: ZBrush pros: -Integrated topology tools - no need to use an external app and import/export the mesh -High-res mesh does indeed look…
man, that must be some brutal shipping or import taxing to raise the prices that much Sampson. All the more reason to go with the MG series, if you are going to be playing like house/coffe-shop/smaller gigs then an MG50 (or whatever the current version of that is) should be more than enough. One of my friends had one and…

Ha ha thanks all for ze crits. The map itself is based around the idea of a new "ice age" (how original, I know). So basically think of Lost Planet... I wanted to have it so this was probably a populated city at one point, but now snow and shit has covered everything, and of course the bridges have broken and fallen... and…
The first thing that jumps out at me when looking at this is that it doesn't seem like there's underlying structure in this guy's face. The general landmarks are there -- eyes, nose, mouth, etc. -- but there's no indication of bones and general structure below the surface to hold them in place. Everything seems to flow…
Preventing bad habits is a good point. Not sure if there was a miscommunication, but just in case: I was mainly referring to stepping away for a bit and returning with "fresh" eyes, especially if you catch yourself moving features around for a long time. But starting fresh now and then isn't a bad idea, either. In the…
Ok, here's my plan of attack. I'm using UDK - Blockout: I'll try to get a very basic rough blockout hammered out in Max today. I'm fighting off the flu, so that may take until tomorrow. - Canyon walls: I'm going to make 3, maybe 4 chunks that I can build up the profile with by scaling and arranging them to build the ridge…
