Alrighty! I'm liking what everyone's got so far. Here's my post for this challenge: It's a cryogenic stasis chamber! It stores Human, Asari and Krogan alike, so that fits the criteria right? In hindsight, I should've set down some perspective guides doing it but oh well lesson learnt. @Petru, just to add to what Hayden…
Nothing I can say that hasn't already been said, but out of curiosity If you are taking this into Zbrush why don't you go a little more simple with your base mesh? I mean you are probably going to do a retopo of the sculpt later on anyway so, personally If you are confident with zbrush then just blast out a simple base…
great thread guys,I love the topic at hand,especially since it deals with whats psychologically going on to make us fear what we fear.Cant wait to get home and read the rest of your guys's comments. but before i go,My quick two cents. Fear is a physical danger/threat,while horror is a psychological fear.We have evolved and…
Very nice start. I love all the detail and stitching in her armor. I like the wolf-head. Makes her look like a total badass. My 2 cents would be to try and push the pose, if you can. It might not be rigged for this, but I would give her a bit of a smirk. Her expression is a bit spooky, and doesn't match her more playful…
that's looking fun @_adamturnbull ! Would love to see a bit stronger grip/squeeze in the hand on the axe during the slow mo. Also, what if his first pose was more subtle? As if he was sitting / praying / focused / sharpening blades instead of already prepped to leap. Might amp up the contrast and overall persona. Lastly,…
I don't know Houdini, but a quick search found this thread and this thread looks promising too, It's a common concept in 3d in general to do various effects based on distance. Artistically speaking, I can see why you would want to show the detail you've sculpted. But objects appearing to lose detail is part of real and…
The EVGA 750i FTW mobo is a great SLi mobo that works with up to ddr2 1066. Personally I'd go for that. Asus has been releasing boards with mediocre quality control recently, though their p5k series is good. Besides, dealing with ASUS is a pain in the ass. EVGA has slightly better customer service, and has the same…
i'm lovin it so - interesting idea on using a piece of art to inspire the whole lvl art minor crits - you go to town making it more atmospheric and realistic by emphasizing the statue/fountain piece by doing a little more splashes further down the steps and floor - darken the rest p and make that roof hole the primary…
There is plenty of anti-religious content in some areas the game. That guy Motz mentioned was crucified presumably for trying to smuggle bibles into Rapture. In that level there are crates and crates of bibles and crucifix's marked as seized illegal contraband. Though the game itself doesn't advocate anti-religious…
My two cents come from a practical point of view rather then a technical/normal maps etc point. With the cockpit so high, open and exposed, the pilot is a huge target for sniper and stray gunfire. The 'arms' the guns are mounted on feel like they are far too wide out from the rest of the body and also are a good target for…
