EQ have you tried putting on a DX/viewport shader and then dropping an edit normals mod on? It's like relax for normals and fixes a ton of hard surface bs. I am meaning to do a tut on this soon.
Relax, watch your favorite movie/listen to your favorite album, don't think about art or cool concepts, hang out with friends, try to have some fun and then just doodle, with no goal in mind.
Fuck. That looks awesome. Really nice work on, well, everything. Accessories, physique, clothes, hair. What're the specs on that for the low and high? Also, love the slightly relaxed pose you've got him in in the beauty render.
There was a script for max5 that normalized UVs. http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/normalize-uv-elements But it ain't working these days. I'd love a fix for this one, one that doesn't involve Relax, since that changes the UV shape.
i usually just define the seams carefully, then relax it all a bit and then straighten the edges that need straightening :P. pretty simple, especially if your using the chuggnuts uv tools (don't know if that's spelled correctly).
well , if you want rigging advice . lets see the rig? personaly i think the thighs are deforming great , if anything the shoulders need a little work when they are in the relaxed pose, in the extream pose they look great..
They're not going to expect you to instantly adjust to the project and start churning out assets. You'll have a little while to learn the nuances and requirements and get up to speed. Just relax and roll with whatever comes up.
If you can afford it..take a break...purge..relax...enjoy your accomplishment..for a month or two...Then hit the ground running with making your portfolio a polished bomb of employability. In the land of the art-dev jungle, Portfolio is king
Wow, you've really improved a ton during the course of this character. Great job! I'm not sure if it's just me but the head/face looks a bit too far forward which makes her look less relaxed.
Thanks throttlekitty! Also, can someone answer my question about posing? :D Is it possible to pose the low poly organic character (chimpanzee) after retopo? The hands of the chimpanzee are relaxed at the moment, but they should be to grip the controllers.
