Man, I don't have the credentials as people have here, as I'm studying and working in another area like you, but I have searched for a time and what I have found is that to learn anatomy and consequentially do better 3D characters I needed to start learning 2D anatomy. So far I have improving faster than just trying the 3D…
Well, there are some nice things about Blender that are much more of a pain to set up in Modo. Stuff like smoke simulation, high-performance rigs, responsive multires sculpting with eight million+ polygons, are all not really there in Modo. There's some other neat features in Blender like the grease pencil and the bevel…
you need to develop your hand eye coordination just as you do with a pencil and drawing. developing your ability to create tight detail to the point where you can sculpt soft wrinkles around the face, detailed eyes and ears etc with the standard brushes. adding detail with alpha brushes and stencils is in most cases for…
The map really looks too straight. At the least, I'd expect the edge of the map hanging off the table to at least droop, if not deform like somewhat stiff cloth. Rolling up the corner nearest the camera might work as well. I can't tell if the creases in the center are in the normal map. The books are untextured, but they…
I became an electrician this year after ten years in the games industry. I had previously worked in electronics, so it wasn't a huge transition for me. The improvement to my lifestyle is so great that it is hard for me to put into words. Going from working 60+ hours a week (some years it was 80+) to an average of 40 will…
Belias, take an art class at your local college and earnestly apply yourself to learning how first to draw. Things like cross-referencing and learning how to see the whole picture are incredibly important skills to train on the way towards learning how to draw and paint. If you can't afford school, buy "Drawing on the…
The visible outer diameter of the barrel is still way too small. EDIT: on a closer look, the axis of the barrel in the model is also significantly offset upwards above the axis of the chamber and bolt. See the cylinder path running from the tube the buttstock slides on, through the ring on the rear of the receiver, along…
just wnated to post a reply here so I get notifications :D ignore the questions if you don't have time for those ;) awesome stuff, I especially like the anatomy and motion studies you make! do you draw them based on a model posing for you? pictures, or from heart maybe? are you going in to animation, or how come you draw…
just a little self defense here: my advice was to be drawing when you couldn't sculpt. good at drawing or not, it's a fine practice. if you're not good at it and it's more frustrating than practical then sure, skip it. Being as i'm not familiar with your skill level in that area i'll suggest it anyways. the best thing…
You are rude with me Pior :p For example if i just mention 1:1, 2:1 and 1:2 for the texture format and the framers, or i am cryptic because i don't explain more about what is this mean exactly, or it becomes lengthy because i explain what is a framer for those who could not know what is it. About Quicksketch master, to be…
