I find in Zbrush, to make the wear and damage look more realistic, take it in small steps. I'm actually in the process of writing a tutorial on my workflow (not that I'm pro, but I hope it will help someone LOL). I take very short strokes with the clay brush on subtract. I usually have the focal shift down low to (around…
Textures as said could use some work and breakup.... right now some parts like walls seems varied in age/wornout... The graffiti's location doesn't seem to be making sense....usually you'd prolly find that on the first floor/washed out as well/.. Also the fences near the side of the curb looks a bit like a bike rack...if…
Richard Kain I have heard worst voice overs than what is usually done with the Anime on cartoon network, so it really doesn't bug me most of the time. I especially hate when titles and names get translated, especially since it usually has nothing to do with the original names or title. This happens a lot with shows and…
I mean, if you're not too stingy about sitting in a used seat try checking near some dumpsters of an apartment complex. I see usually 2 or 3 a month at my complex. I also know my office will occasionally chuck out some used seats and leave them by our dumpsters. Usually the seats aren't even in bad condition. Probably…
Tumorboy and Vig were trying to explain better what I was referring to earlier. It's fine if you want the walls to be gray/white, but that typically makes them cinderblocks, which are MUCH larger than bricks. If you want them to be bricks, then usually they're red and small. Now, that isn't to say I haven't seen white…
Cheers for the paint-over and the ton of info.. and and the response. Probably my form isn't all that clear at that stage (should of thrown in the blocky arm), but what you thought was a leg is actually the whole form :) But you've given me new insight on how to approach the leg ( i usually neglected the knee since I…
Most games use precreated cubemaps, rather than "live" reflections. A live reflection can have a significantly higher performance cost (framerate) than using a cubemap. A live reflection usually means the engine/shader creates the camera on-the-fly, moving it in relation to how your viewpoint moves around. Also the shader…
One thing I always find really really helps me is to find music relating to the project I'm working on, wherever possible. For example, if I'm working on a Warcraft inspired scene, then the Warcraft soundtrack... or one project I did a while back was a scene from Naruto, and I had the Naruto soundtrack on repeat. It's…
you might want to look up books for older max versions if you're still learning the basics. it's not like there's really that much changing between releases and you can usually get the outdated books for much less. max6 and up should be good to go to be on the safe side, many functions can just as well be learnt with much…
Well, actually, the project I am working is kind of toy based. We have very small vehicles and there is the potential to get extremely close to the ground. I was hoping for this particular situation to avoid getting that close, but if we want to re-use these assets in other areas it would become a problem. I do see your…
