A short introduction: When I was younger I was addicted to a virtual world called Second Life, that everyone heard about on the news, years back. I was hooked into some form of game that was going on inside the platform, a role playing that would take place in a 3D environment, carefully crafted for the best immersive…
Thanks to both of you for responding - and thanks for transferring this to P&P. I figured that'd be this thread's natural home, but thought I'd check to see if I should be on Polycount at all first. =) So, basically... the project is Caide, a cargo ship captain in a space opera. It's a personal project made with the…
[ QUOTE ] trust it more than any religious text? did you look at the links I posted? [/ QUOTE ] Personal reasons are no good here. And you agree it's not literal, so I don't see your point. Yes, I read both of your links. The first doesn't provide much of a counterpoint. Just one man's conceited opinion of what he viewed.…
Visceral - Thanks! Snader - Yeah, the nail heads and blade cutouts are one of the first things I noticed when I finished it. I mainly made this as a personal to learn how to bake a normal map and texture (and possibly learn how to put something into a game engine), so I never went back and fixed my modeling errors. I know…
To See, or not to See? - A Contest Decree for all "Mother's Day" Devotees: Said my Toon Horse to me; "If this contest proceeds, it's a dead certainty and a sure tragedy, without eyes that can see, I'll be minced meat indeed. Or cut off at the knees, hacked down to a pony." Said I with wry glee; "That's just in-sanity.…
Updates. Haven't worked out the head yet, but I wanted to do some texture work so I saved some UV space and skipped ahead. I am going to divide the texture into two 1024 texture. The Body and Head in the first, and all the equipment in the second (the fans, the engine, the gauges, the helmet and the long scarf etc. EDIT: I…
actually there is no correct or wrong for chinese dragon, i don't see the problem there. here is one random dragon head i found. somehow i feel that tutorial really makes you "dead" for thinking a dragon head. because normally chinese dragon really got variety form. but most common description of dragon is... snake body…
I didn't catch some of the proportional issues with the model itself but with the (looks to be a poly paint) some of them kinda pop out. I'd recommend scaling up the head quite a bit. The head as it is now gives it this sort of bulked out muscular dude look. Small head, big body. With a high poly model like this, try to…
Day 22 - 38 So. . . I've been forgetting to post updates (Ha ha, oops), but I've been slowly working on the sculpture. Because of the 15 bonus days I'm actually still on the free trial. I've got about 7 days left. Although, I'm starting to like Z-Brush, so maybe I'll keep it around on subscription mode afterwards. Since…
Yeah blaming the downfall of the american auto makers on the unions is so disingenuous it's ridiculous. It's a combination of the management making horrible decisions, sticking with giant gas guzzling cars when the market shifted to more fuel efficient ones, and them being caught with nothing to provide. American car maker…
