I have no idea which individuals the companies are sending but as soon as they come I will ask the guest speakers in person when they arrive if I may publicly thank them on relevant forums so they get just deserved recognition. If they wish to have no praise and are doing it off their own back then I will respect that as…
It looks like you are starting with 3d, my advice is ; replace milkshape as soon as possible and learn one of the real programs or you will regret it a lot later when you hit the dead end. 3DS Max, Maja, (Lightwave Modo..) and such, although the first 2 are the most used and it would probably be best using them Photoshop…
I didn't quite have time to make drastic changes to the pencil and I feel like a jackass for it when you guys give me all this good feedback. I'll find time soon. I was behind on making this ruler (since I had to redo it completely). This ruler is supposed to be in our CG trailer and will be in a closeup shot so it needs a…
I currently use C4D for all my modeling, texturing, and animation. I use to use 3DS for about 10 years and when I switched to C4D it took me about 1 week to be as comfortable with it as I was in Max. I am currently in the process for doing some game modeling and texturing tutorials for Maxon (the guys that make C4D) and…
Hey everyone! Thank you so much for the tips and advice. I really appreciate it. I actually finalized my demo reel before GDC so I do apologize for the presentation. I took heboltz3 critique and reorganized my reel, finished up my renders, and changed up the audio so it wasn't clashing with each other. Here was the new…
some changes update, getting closer to finish it (actually have to) www.renderhjs.net by default for now the html version is the default that will be called on the domain call. But as soon as I fix some loading and navigation issues in the flash version I will place the flash version as default. For serious job…
Thanks for all the replies guys. Merging the hairs into the head slipped my mind, I'll take care of that and try pushing and pulling some of those darks. I intentionally avoided dark edges, I think what is actually the problem is not the darkest darks not being dark enough, but the 'light' darks not being light enough. We…
Hello there polycount! A few days ago i gave myself a challenge to draw weapon for every single hero in DOTA2 (if hero uses weapon, some of them are magic users that don't have anything in their hands etc so i will pass those). I am not aiming to do crazy "overthetop" items, most of them will use only color palette that is…
I like Shep's ideas, but I think the saturation is a bit over the top. - If you go night, make sure to add in some moon light - Push grime and soot into some areas that probably aren't touched that much. - Adding specularity will really help define the materials and the setting.
Hey! thanks guys, I am glad you like it soo far. Actually, I am pretty far with the Angel already, but it is stuck in transit between work and home (I shouldn't have done it at work argh!). Hopefully, things will clear up soon and I'll be able to post it. My deadline for this is the 18th of May. I have to finish 3…
