I've been toying with the idea of using alpha on the wings, it's a case of whether I can cut holes in the design that work well as I didn't sculpt the wings with alpha in mind. You're right though, I think it would be more visually interesting with some holes in the web. I might resculpt the webbing if I can't get it…
Hey Chiffy, good work on your character so far. I agree with Brian but I suggest you make some quick changes to her nose wings as well. They transition into the area of the naso-labial furrow too softly. You might also bring the inner canthus of the eye closer to the wing (excuse my shabby paintover):
Try looking at some popular science magazine covers. This is, as it was put, just a trans am with some wings on it. But more than that, you have a capsule on the back and a box on the hood with some tilted wheels. Wings coming out like that aren't a bad idea, but the execution just isn't doing it. Do something with a step…
[ QUOTE ] edge loop/ring tool in the unwrap window is annoying [/ QUOTE ] you have loop and ring in unwrap mode and you should create peltseams, so you can easily select the edges with the point to point method, which is way better then simple edgeloop selection. Then you can just select the pelt chunks you want...
The wings REALLY need to be fixed... there's no sense of anatomy behind them, and the feathers are just wrong. The back of them looks like loose skin, too. I hope you don't take it offensively but those are very glaring problems that are bringing the whole piece down. The wings and the cartoony bowl cut hair just need a…
Put in an hour or two more today. Tried widening her wings/cape a bit more, blockd out her hip/wing/skirt things, though I still don't think they're completely right. I think next pass I'll work a bit more on her torso and its transition to her hips. I'll probably add the fluff on her elbows then too.
Looking good, I really like some of the small details and the overall proportions look pretty close. Tires are looking great. I see some weird edge distortions around the front fender/hinge area, on the concept the side of the hinge is a smooth transition and a little more organic than what you have. You probably haven't…
Watched the Zeitgeist vids on youtube and I'm currently d/ling the entire movie now. Interesting... don't know if I believe everything, but it was entertaining. Ott - thanks for the link, I'm actually d/ling America: Freedom to Facism right now. I'm probably gonna watch it tonight. I hope there is now law, because I hate…
Hey guys, figured i would finally start a thread so i can show what i am up to and get some community opinions. First of all here is the Presentation shot for Sand King's Wretched Crown I am now working on a tail, but the one i started ended up looking like a big mess when it came to textures. Is it best with some items to…
Looks good so far. I wouldn't have done the seams in the wing front edges in highpoly, since you're getting a pinch at the farthest part of the wing. I would however put some effort into modeling the jet nozzles in highpoly, definitely something where the effort will pay off. And is it me or does the bottom of the vertical…
