Maybe you should start with a classic human reference, those modifications you will add can come later (thanks to the lower subdivisions ;) ) So basically you will start a new mesh, keep it low, give it a human shape and often zremeshing it (hope you know zremesher, if not take a look on the internet) until you got the…
pretty much this. At the core there usually sits an Autodesk product. The only shops I knew of, which weren't brand new startups, and which were majority non-Max / non-Maya shops were the ones who used XSI. Which got bought too and then stuff moved to Maya or Max. I remember we were approached by some Japanese clients who…
Chill folks, nothing apocolypic is going to happen. All that is happening is a massive quake (which has apparently moved the earths axis by 10 inches) went off. Massive damage to Japan and major loss of life. My sympathy to anyone affected. However, this doesn't mean the end of the world. that you tube vid is a fucking…
Costume design is a discipline all to itself and needs special specific attention and study by the artist just like learning anatomy or architecture. In a perfect world you would have a fashion designer working along side a character concept artist. (I remember vaguely that many Japanese studios like Square having a…
the reason I used fresnel nodes instead of a colored specular was because the fresnel nodes react to camera angle the way real iridescence works rather than a static color regardless of viewing angle. The fresnel is computationally heavy and I really just did this to see if it could be done accurately rather than making…
also, i have to ask all the people defending this; is there a line anywhere on what should and shouldnt be in a videogame? can i make a racist game, where you play a nazi killing only black people, and they are shown as less worth than whites? is it ok to make a game where raping girls is the goal? (blazier already wrote…
I'm happy to see the gamers feed back and your own, whatever it might be. On regards to the price, I may have to think about it some more - but as facemakr is only a week old it's still early days, and may not be for everyone. When the Japanese site goes up the reaction will be different once again, as ¥5000 or so is…
@LimitedSlipStudios You asked to name one branch of government that did anything well. I'm replying that the BC provincial government did just that. Film and Television Tax Credit https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/taxes/income-taxes/corporate/credits/film-tv "Production corporations can claim a basic amount of 28% of…
I know this is kind of a retrospective but... you may want to try to get a different reference for the face. Ryuuko is a 17 year old Japanese girl. She's looking a bit worn and sharp in your interpretation, stylized or not. I'd expect her to look a bit more like this if you're going for realism: (15 and 17 years old street…
I wouldn't do fur where you've masked. I personally prefer to think of Felicia as wearing a costume. All the animal bits are outlined as if they could be clothing, with nothing to say they're definitely parts of her. Besides, we naturally expect hair to grow in certain places on an humanoid body, and not in other places.…
