Re: The Quest for Zbrush
Its nice seeing you tackling characters for a change. Character modeling is a different animal than environments. Just like you have to think about the history of an object to pull it off convincingly for environments, you have to think of underlying anatomy with characters to nail them. RIght now I cant see what kind of… -
Re: Wish I was a Character Modeler!
Instead of thinking about it like "in order to be a good character modeller i need to know 3ds Max and zbrush really well," I would learn the subject matter. Knowing modelling packages is like understanding how a pencil works, it's required that you have an understanding of how to use them but they are a means to an end -… -
Re: progress threads = win
well, with the lips, i actually pushed the tip of my pencil through my lips to see where they fall along my teeth and gums, in order to put them in the right place over that skull mesh, so they do actually line up pretty well. another thing to considder is that without a texture, you can't see clearly where the top of the… -
Re: Like totally! Like doing hair.
Naaaah, FFX stands for Final Fantasy X You know, that game with ladies as main characters and males looking like ladies. Also, I don't think you should bother with hair detailling in Zbrush. It can be helpful for things like afro hair wich has a solid quality, or 'gelsculpted' hairstyles, but other than that if you are… -
Re: Advice on a drawing portfolio for Uni
I've only just started the life drawing class and haven't produced the best work, but here they are. I know a couple of them don't show too well because I used a graphite pencil. I hadn't actually drawn any humans with reference before, so I felt that I did quite well - especially using charcoal (first time too). I know I… -
Re: WIP-action game // Falling worlds //
Hey, it's good to be motivated. When I was a kid all I had was paper and pencil and a big idea...at least you are able to start your own wikki and start playing with the softwares and learning a bit about 3d. 3dbuzz.com has some pretty good tutorial videos you can download for free...I dunno if they have the ones you need… -
Re: yarr mateys, how many of yer polycounters be pirates?
Most of us are starting, or started young, most kids don't sit a top a pile of money as they read this. You already need to have to have a decent PC, probably a tablet, pencils/paint/paper, etc, not to mention the whole cost of, ya know "you eating" it's shouldn't be a surprising that people want to start learning right… -
Re: New 21" Cintiq is out
Frump : no. (when working on characters, that is!). I wish it was more than 1600*1200 tho, since for sketching it doesnt feel as accurate as pencil and paper. It's fine at emulating ink pens/felt tips tho. By the way, brightness and lag comments must come from an 'older older' version of the 21. The latest grey one before… -
Re: Video sketchs updated every few days

Re: Think you're good at drawing from memory?
Toomas, did you miss the part about him being autistic? "Steven is autistic; he lives in a world of his own. Communication is difficult for him. He didn't speak his first words--'pencil' and 'paper'--until he was five." You're right that a normal human mind isn't supposed to work like that, but he doesn't have a normal…
