Use reference and remember landmarks to more accurately create forms and find balanced proportions. Balance your perspective so your anatomy will looks accurate. Your proportions need to follow the basic rules of perspective for an angle like the one you're using. It frames the muscular composition. Green A & B are nice…
Chat is wrong, kinda. Depends on your renderer, and what result you want. For example to get an opacity map, you'll need to not use BTT but setup a camera instead and render that way.
That is very common with telephoto zooms, just because it has a lot of reach doesn't actually mean it has a lot of range. Now, if you think of a common super-zoom lens like a 18-200mm lens, that has over 10x zoom. Actually, your sample photo is a pretty good example of what would commonly be considered poor bokeh.…
Hey all, I am looking into games that look original, for example Samurai 2 vengeance with the handpainted punchy graphics http://www.madfingergames.com/g_samurai2.html or the silhouette look of Feist http://www.playfeist.net/ It doesn't whether the games are next-gen or games for handheld, any other good examples of…
Also I posted this awhile back for someone on CGTalk I think, about how to create volumetric nebula fx in Max. Super-simple example, but could be easily extended into some nicer fx. Max file... http://www.ericchadwick.com/examples/images/volumelight_nebula.max (ditch the stars though, I used a procedural that doesn't scale…
that's cool... i'm not really looking for examples of tiling textures... but more a list of textures to make for people. i've already made *(for example)* Corrugated Metal Particle Board Wood Planks... as part of my project to provide resources to env artists/level builders/designers my deal is that I miss the way shit…
Depends. Often it's best to refine the topology to match the flow of the silhouettes. If the model deforms at all, for example a floppy hat with ragdoll constraints, then topology flow really matters, it's helpful to have good edge flow wherever it bends. More on the wiki…
I am by no means a character artist nor am I anywhere good with anatomy. But if you compare that bust has a lot of anatomy issues. If you break down the characters with for example Loomis method, you would still see a somewhat kind of working anatomy, even how and where the ears are placed. The ears on your character seem…
The Content Examples by Unreal has a similar example available. The asset is named "M_Highlight" in their project. In case you need any specific help you can leave a reply underneath the post and I'll try to help you out. I've been meaning to post additional information about this, still haven't gotten around to it... - Tom
Realistic Mowed Grass - ideas? Ryse Moss Tutorial Also check out Alec Moody's vertex blending example. Looks to me like no transparency, just texture splatting http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1899830#post1899830 also some more tuts/examples http://wiki.polycount.com/HairTechnique…
