Big improvement on textures. Now work on material definition. Check out a lot of pistols. Some are all black, all metal. Some have stainless steel slides or gun black slides and plastic trigger assembly housings, or even metal trigger assembly housings. Push the contrast. Add dots, lines, whatever you need to create a…
Thank you so much for the advice and suggestion everyone. So I've made a little bit of progress. I've widend and thickend the armour strips, I tried a even thicker version but it didn´t look quite right, I tried making the inner bevel on the armour thicker but didn´t look quite right, but as always I'm up for suggestions.…
oXYnary: i would not recommend going with carbon on a commuter-bike. also not with a lightweight race-bike like the santa cruz is advertised as. normally in order to save weight and make the thing really stiff, the manufacturer will have to make some compromises when building the frame. lots of race bikes are overall quite…
Muzz, that's in interesting point. Another thing that I find odd in some of these recent popular painting videos is the use of terms like "concept" and "design", whereas what actually happens is a lot of random stuff eventually becoming something thanks to happy accidents and tweaking. Now of course this is not by any…
I don't think doing high res and normal mapped models is absolutely necessary... Gameloft appears to do more casual kinds of games on platforms with more accessible graphics so if that's what you're aiming for then just work on your texturing skills. I wouldn't even bother with modeling your own designs at this point...…
RexM - What trailer were you watching? :poly115: The visuals are killer.. aesir - HAHAHAHAHA I about died laughing when I read that, I'm right with you on how "serious and non-angsty" the old Dante looked. I feel like some people are wearing blinders, and they won't like DmC until Dante looks nearly identical. That is why…
I agree with the above posts. Job-wise: The first thing that jumps out is your presentation. If you're going to have presentation sheets, you don't want them to be messy/ scattered. Think compositionally. And it would be nice if you had some form of continuity throughout your sheets. A style-guide for placement. More…
[ QUOTE ] I'll point out that if anyon else is plannin on reading anything by Dan Brown, don't bother. The guy really really really cannot write. The daVinci code did well because the topic was interesting, but the man is a talentless hack. [/ QUOTE ] Well someone at work made me read Angels and Demons and then the Davinci…
As an addendum to my last comments I think it's very possible that there are deliberate attempts at providing misinformation to the public in the way of conspiracy theories so that details of real issues become obscure. I'll cite as an example GWB's recent criticism for allowing illegal wiretapping of American folks and…
I saw it the other day. It was pretty good, but not nearly as good as Iron Man. I enjoyed it but I'm with Gauss. I prefer the more meditative approach to the character. The Hulk/Banner is a tragic char. He's like a werewolf. You SHOULD feel pity for him, its not his fault. His is a sad story. Not just "skinny guy turns…
