So, I went back over my diffuse and tried cleaning it up a bit. My PSD is a hell of a lot simpler now too, so I can make changes easier. I'm struggling with how to set it up for a portfolio piece though, because I noticed that the density is off between the boards and the panels. 512s really show that off, but with a 1024,…
The scale is totally throwing me off. The picatinny rails are waaaay off for this supposedly being "normal sized, but for a 8' robot". Picatinny rails are 10.008 mm from center groove to center groove. PT Rails explained I don't want anyone to take this the wrong way and think I'm complaining about precise machining. Its…
Hey dude, I think this is a good start. At his current stage I'd hold off going too deep into detailing and take a bit of time working on his proportions. The current model is a bit off model in places from the model sheet you drew and the concepts. If you're going off of the newest concept, I'd take that image directly…
Hmm. Yeah, seen this test before. My first reaction is that the surface quality of your object is being almost entirely determined by the diffuse and the other maps aren't quite getting to show off as well. Some ideas 1. Bake a projected ao map from your high poly and a simple ao map from the combined low poly, then…
Thanks so much for the exceptional response, slipsius. I think you may have entirely changed my mind about what school I should attend. The problem with me is that I am really motivated to teach myself all about game design but high school often gets in the way of it. I can't spend hours modeling, sculpting, drawing, and…
Whats the best way to screen grab from UDK? Won't get to these for a bit, have a couple other projects to finish but :) I would love to hear some comments on these next couple of pieces and really nail down everything before I start one. Have a couple projects- smaller scenes that I'm in the process of concepting: First of…
Hey Millenia! I am sure this will help a ton of people. But I do have a critique of the video process. I know it is odd to critique the tutorial process, but I can see many turned off by some annoyances in your tutorials. I would like to note a couple of things that made your videos almost un-watchable for me, I had to…
After finishing up the Grenade Launcher, I decided to take a few days off to relax and recover. However, in that time I also upgraded my Artstation to Pro to use the website editing features as well as update a few other things I've been meaning to! If you guys want to check out the new website you can…
I am gonna go to the Ugee for sure when I can afford it the reviews are solid and the price is great and after I had my Intous 5 M pen break as it pretty much just fell apart when I accidentally opened the middle with pretty minimal force, I don't think a biro could have came apart so easy but the buttons fell off, coil…
Don't bother with a contact page. You can squeeze your contact info in at either the top or bottom of every page. (possibly both) It's better for your contact info to be immediately accessible to anyone on your site, without forcing them to click through. Keep the "shell" elements as minimalist as possible. Overblown…
