Working on the UDK scene, lighting mostly for now. The sky dome is a placeholder until I can make my own. I found a pretty interesting cloud tutorial I've been wanting to make right here http://stephenjameson.com/tutorials/faking-volumetric-effects/ so I'm gonna try that out and see where it takes me. Also expect some…
Hello guys! I've been working on a character in the past 2 weeks. I've posted several updates during last week in my Sketchbook (here is a link if you want to check it out: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=128554) While I am not happy with several parts of the sculpt I have to move on. I guess the most…
I've signed on to help with modelling and animating for the HexenTC using the DOOM3 engine. I'm doing some of the beasts they'll be needing. I use 3d MAX 4.2, which I know is older, but I can't afford $3000 to buy it again. I always animated with MAX's character studio plug ins, BIPED and PHYSIQUE. But I'm told that Doom3…
Hi again everyone, I've been neglecting my University work again and have this to show you. It's a Warhammer, or War Hammer (maybe should be two words? Doesn't matter, you know what I mean!) and I stole the basic concept from this tutorial; http://www.digitaltutors.com/11/training.php?pid=107 I was just watching it, seeing…
Hi all. I've been following a fairly old Maya facial rigging course from digitaltutors (Rigging the human face in Maya 2011), using my own mesh rather than the project files. I only have a very basic understanding of the rigging process, and a lot of it still baffles me, but everything was going well until the final…
Still working on Uving. Experimented with some YouTube tutorials on the matter and I've found a way that currently works for me, in combination with tips from above. Got a few more pieces to go before completion :) YouTube Links: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EriiuMPx22Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJ3PJD0WEmk…
Yo, check out this tutorial. It helped me a lot with modeling complex things; https://www.pluralsight.com/courses/tips-modeling-complex-shapes-2082 Mind you, this is for hard surface modeling. Spend some time doing some basic tutorials. Also, spend time making complex pieces made of simple shapes. A sword might seem…
Thanks for sharing. Your Mari tutorials are helpful too. I'm actually watching Justin Holt's Gnomon tutorials now. Awesome to know he was one of your mentors. Quick Mari process question, how did you do your spec and gloss channels. Did you start by duplicating spec channel, renamed it, and add something like a highpass…

Sorry, Matt! Is my objective with the reference to build up the habit of getting reference for everything, or is it for the sake of making sure the face LOOKS like real? I'm going to want to use Nathalie Emmanuel, then. What key words am I supposed to be googling to find tutorials on doing potrait sculpts / drawings of…
