The man's model is 898 tris, the windbreaker is 610 tris. This was my first attempt at a human model and it took me like several days and different iterations to get to this point, all kinds of critique welcome and wanted here. It's still unfinished and I'm always going back to fix some things and adjust some verts. Also…
Yea that's why i was asking what it was for. I didnt see any place for health or weapons or any kind of game play info. The whole thing just looks kinda generic to me. There are some cool things you could do with those radar screens (instead of those old school looking radars). Using references will go a long way.…
Alrighty. I did some corrections to the previous sprunghunt's line and i got something that works with one vertex select -r $obj.vtx[5] ; I could not get the multiple vertex selection with this one line, so i scrolled some forums and came up with this: string $sel[] = `ls -sl`; string $obj; for ($obj in $sel) { select -r…
It's more important to understand how a software thinks than to know what button does what. Understand how Maya's nodes work. Understand how Modo's took stack works. How 3ds Max's modifier stack works. Maya used to be annoying in little ways because of the way the UI was organized. They've been restructuring the UI for the…
High poly looks great. If your intention is just for a beauty render then you can keep it a bit higher to reduce any blockiness in the silhouette. Though its good practice to try to keep your meshes low but still looking good. Depending on the size of the object and what distance it will be seen you can estimate your…
Actually, your thumbnails don't let me get a good look at the work. They feel badly cropped. I'd make sure the objects you're showing fit better in the frame, like so (pretend the scaled/stretched images are from an angle that would fit like so): Also, don't misunderstand me when I say 'aim for 1280'. By no means I want to…
you know what not to take too much of a crack at cg education, but its crazy, that I notice as bad as some "TRADE" schools are, the universities can sometimes be far worst. I think they deal with a lot more theory at times and theri ntry level 3d class / 101 course teaches them so broad because you have people taking that…
I Must have read about 20 - 25 books this year, mostly novels though. Prince of Thorns by Mark Lawrence was indeed a fun read. Finished Pierce Brown's "Red Rising Trilogy" - tip: read it before they turn it into a series or a movie. It's a real tour de force in writing. Probably some of the best sci-fi I've read in years.…
I've been really interested in modo for the longest time, not least as a cheaper option over my trusty old 3dsmax and xsi, but because I used Lightwave professionally for years too and always liked Brad and crew's approach to things. I did try 401 way back but was never able to find time to try a proper switch. My main…
what i meant by dark edges on the crystal was that it doesnt look like a crystal, but Pink floating rocks. http://www.mineralminers.com/images/phantom-quartz/polx/phqp178.jpg http://www.llnl.gov/nif/images/crystals.jpg http://www.playingzone.com/images/jeux/pc/burning_crusade_prev_sc8.jpg…
