This version just feels so right. Clay tubes got awesomer it feels especially on long thin things. Polish brushes are also outstanding. kinda replacing clayfinish already. Its fun to polish out all of the centerline bugs of my r2 models :D
hmm, what would you change about the proportions in particular? thanks for the response. i did some reworking since the last post, shrug. having fun with this, altho im def losing a lot of tightness to this. still learning all the tricks of zb. good times.
Currently using Paul Richer Artisitic Anatomy. Great book for studying where the bones are places and how the muscles are formed. Never really used a tablet until now. Must say it's rather good fun and so much quicker. Will have to get one for myself.
I try to stick to racing and platform games with my 2 sons (2.5 & 4.5 years). There are enough fun games that don't involve much violence or at least realistic looking violence. These days Lego Star Wars II co-op rules my Xbox.
7zip is strange. Best compression format I've ever seen. I remember having an image file of Vagrant Story, which was around 700 megs, yet somehow with .7zip, it was compressed down to 90 megs. |: | I digress... Hopefully those maps are fun maps. : )
Yeah it's definitely tons of fun and rewarding once you get it all working, but be careful! One miss step and the engine will sh*t itself...Had that happen several times. Luckily Cryengine will try to save things for you when you crash. it's kind of nice.
Definitely a good start. Good choice of scene, by the way. The shapes are all fairly simple and shouldn't be too much of a pain to UV. Those cogs are gonna be really fun to texture too. Keep it up, this was one of my favorite scenes of both those movies :P
Ravanna: I do some of both, in Zbrush I do the deep scratches and nicks/chunks instead of in PS, mostly because I have more fun in Zbrush! But I will paint in more afterwards. I'm not sure if this is good practice or not. Can anyone else chime in?
The videos show the best works I think, esp the Crater shooter game. Looks like fun! The img of dog, rifle, elf, are nice but I'd be nice to see wires, UV and texture at like 25% or 50%, just to see how you pulled it off.
Okay I don't get you. On the very top of the very first page of Jeffro's tut, there's a link to the ActorX download page. http://udn.epicgames.com/Content/ActorX You won't be needing that until you've completed your model, unwrapped it, and bound it to a skeleton. Have fun then.
