I think it works well to convey the theme :) It really feels like an old photo, Back when camera's were sorta terrible. Especially the old Polaroid's... they tended to have major color problems in the shadows. Oh, a side note for using creased edges (you may already know this but I figured i'd share it here for anyone else…
Hey All, I'm trying my hand at creating a small script in Maya to better protect my models, but I've hit a bit of a snag. The script I'm working on is supposed to do the following: A - Duplicate the Selected Object. B - Move the Selected Object 10 units on the X axis. C - Create a new layer and Add the Selected Object to…
You are right! The only reason this becomes an issue is because of the workflow..! :) The thing is I'm building a character for an Role-Playing game, and my designers requested that we should be able to equip the character with new stuff (i.e. armor, weapons, etc.).. So in order to save time down the line I'm just going to…
No one uses mental ray anymore... Autodesk is killing it and putting Arnold with Maya (I'm assuming since they just bought solid angle.) Mental ray Pros: -free with maya - for the most part physically plausible materials. - A really nice layered material system Mental ray Cons: - integration with maya is poor and even…
Could we stop this childish bickering. This forum is so good otherwise, its just depressing when you all turn into whiny little Counterstrikers. Getting back to the topic at hand: I'm in exactly the same position. Our valiant leader, has decided we're doing the shift to Maya after about three weeks of discussion, argument…

Very helpful video to demonstrate additive animations. So they are just 1 frame poses, nothing else, no motion OR CAN THEY have their own animations but you just mix them together from chosen skeleton bone like hip to upper body? So I could have the following animations for example: * Idle Standing Unarmed / Relaxed *…
We knew about this. We talked with them a bit but it was clear our directions were a touch different :) . Mostly on the fact that they wanted things that made the original weapon effects work meaning most of the Engineer stuff, the scout stuff (except the melee) and the Pyro jar, would all be illegal submissions under…
Awesome job guys! When I first saw the image I hoped a project like this would be started. One thing on my mind, the first model made here, I always assumed that character was the "scout" due to his bag full of newspapers. And the cowboy sitting down was the "engy". He is in the general Engy spot though, and perhaps the…
Wow... that is a girl with a beard. Weird ^^ Nah, just kidding. Your dude doesn't really look like a dude, he is too soft. Men are hard. I find best working on men with hard brushes and girls with soft ones. Give that dude some edges and perhaps wrinkles. Men can handle that! Other than that: The eyes are different in…
