I really like the small particle effects you have scattered around. If you are still looking for crits; The gold thing in the center looks too clean/perfect for something on the floor in a slightly beat up environment. I agree the lighting does not seem realistic, but it does give it a very stylized look. The axe and…
Hrmmmm... is your magic wand set to anti-alias? You selections might come out aliased if that isn't checked. If that didn't do it... maybe a 1pix feather on the selection before you fill it could work. Remember vector masks will always look cleaner due to them being live vectors and not actually rastrised. When working…
Exactly. The point is not to prevent people from asking what software was used, but rather ask more intelligent questions or ask about theory over tools. Whether I moved the vert in Max or Maya is irrelevant most of the time. The question should be 'why' I chose to move it there. Especially when they only want to know…
What about Modo's Reduction tool? Keeps form while reducing mesh resolution, preserves UVs. Probably not nearly as "magical" as Simply polygon but at the very least its a lot cheaper and doesnt rely on a cloud. $10 a month (or perpetual $299) if you go with Modo Indie on steam, Indie limitation is 100k poly export but that…
couple of nit-picks... while it isn't implicitly described in the scene, the colouration on the rocks comes from the lighting, not the rock itself. Melificent's magic colours are generally speaking, purple and green. So, if you're building a scene from modular assets, consider making them a more neutral colour and allowing…
I think it looks good so far. One thing of note is that the branches on the back seem way too big for such a small person. I get that its magically imbued or whatevs but it just seems like a chunk of wood that big on someones back would just throw them off balance. I feel like the proportions between the two could match a…
Yeah so I got one today. It took fedex forever to give me the gift card. But I got it and bought a computer today. I love it so far. I have sort of notices that mouse thing. I'm also not I big fan of the Magic Mouse. Mainly just the shape. I hate how it doesn't fill you hand. Anyway. I love my computer!
Thanks for your replies. I suspected that there was no magic shortcut on this one, I'll just keep painting and tweaking. I do tend to focus a bit too much on one object, finish that and then move on so maybe it would be a good thing to try and use a more iterative workflow. Good idea to bring in the lighting and…
you have to know what the fuck your doing or you just end up in an endless loop and to get to the point where you know what your doing requires work and experimentation. It's ok following tutorials to get an end result but not knowing why, how or what while your doing it is pointless. It's a riddle, the riddle of…
Looks cool in motion, but then the magic stops on screenshots to me, to be honest. There is a fake feeling when looking at the pictures. I can't really tell what, just too busy overall? maybe too much displacement or too much noise, some stuff looks a bit low res like the tree bark on the foreground. Anyway I'm nitpicky…
