My most recent work--a Vietnam War era radio known as the PRC-6 "Handie "Talkie." I was aiming for a game-ready hero asset. I paid special attention (aka more polys!) to anything circular to avoid faceting. Around 121k tris and two 4K texture sets. Blender for modeling, straps simmed in Marvelous Designer, textured in…
Nom nom work here. Especially Daven, Allan-p, fightpunch, ljabli - I keep being impressed by you guys page by page. I am right-handed, but currently can't do much with the right hand because of a minor injury. I really itched to draw though so I tried doodling with the other hand that is very poor at jobs requiring…
Cool mcgool! The magic of metal comes from the reflections - the spec map and so forth is where its at. You will have a deeper sense of satisfaction once thats in place. A few things I can suggest at this stage. Use a Darker grey in the metal, then get the brightness in the spec - one trick they use in Unreal 3 was pump…
"3DS Max has some serious shortcomings in the common sense department compared to Maya. I seriously feel like Autodesk has deliberately convoluted the workflow process with many functions and actions in Max, solely for the sake of differentiating the two products, at the expense of practicality. " I love the way that maya…
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and critique so thoroughly carvuliero! I'm a bit sad this does not communicate the feeling I wanted people to feel, they're not supposed to look miserable. I suppose I need some more practice! The message I had posted above was supposed to showcase a sort of rough study, I…
Hello :) Last time I was having realy awful problems with hands to my model. Last time they were looking like this. Many people said that hands were the worst part, so I decided to make new. Those couple of days I tried many things with robot hands, I hanged fingers and so on, but everything were just terrible. Then I…

Is there a quick way to turn off all the lights in the viewport? Something that'll turn my model into pure black. It's just something I've picked up on to check and make sure the silhouette reads well from all distances. So far the only solution I've found is to have the color options for my specified material open... and…
I really didn't have the time this morning to put in a good paint over, but it should give you an idea of stuff and things. Also this is small stuff, I wouldn't bend over backwards trying to change anything, just stuff to keep in mind for the future. I would put in a gradient shadow map, top to bottom on the whole…
GH2 got all of the gameplay mechanics and extra features right. And totally fucked up the playlist. Wow. It seems like their only criteria for selecting songs this time through was how difficult the guitar section is. Nevermind whether the song is any good or not. I've got pretty wide tastes in music, and I loved the vast…
