Love the character. The scars are a really nice touch :) Oh yeah I know the struggle about retopo ... I'm using 3d coat for almost 2012 and I'm still happy with the tool. But after the new Blender release magic I want to give retopoflow also a try ^^
For what it's worth, I prefer having things like UI heights/offsets and things like that abstracted to a variable rather than hard-coded as a magic number - it makes it far easier to change it without hunting through the code for +=5 :P Or if you need to reference it elsewhere.
Disconnect from the Internet... I have yet to try this, but I know it would help me SOOOOOO much, heck... I find when polycount goes down for a bit, I magically find more time to work :P I'm so bad with time management :(
Don't want to be an ass but "That's just something people have to deal with (enabling aero works in some cases)" Perna 8-25-11 "But it looks to cause this issue, switch to Windows Aero Transparency or whatever its called and the problem is magically gone!" Ichll3D 02-14-12
Man, these remind me of some Miyazaki magical kingdom. I'd like to think that A, B, and E have some really strong weight to them. You could push the daintiness of F even further and really stretch the rotundness of it into different areas. Great stuff so far :)
Simple; it's just the smoothing groups. That object doesn't have any (hard edges), and the render to texture tries do its best... but normal map doesn't do magic. There's no way to smooth a 90º angle. Try smoothing the whole object, but you should definitely chamfer the edges.
Yea I agree but I think It's just temp till he works his magic into the diffuse. Here is a nice image of what I think It would look like, of-course this is not an exact reference to go by but I really like her hair so: Pink Hair
if you were going for a cartoon look i'll say 10 4 looks like hes got a musk on i like that and 16 got that magic user stance i really like that i say go for 16 pose with 3 or 4s musk like face
yea man, thats the post i wanna see. Who is the OLDEST guy you ever met working with games? at DICE we peak at like 42. We call them guru's of wisdom and magic due to their exceptionally high age :P im 29 btw
Thanks to every one for helpin' and crits ^_____^ Glad to show you final shots, now i'm ready for MAGIC Nextgen challenge :) Screengrabs from sandbox again. And here's one of my latest doodle, it's a speed sculpt entry, about 2 hours, totally made in Zbrush.
