Re: Hard surface sci-fi guides?
You're on the right track. Technical process and the design itself are two separate skills to master. While design can be a general term that covers a wide range of things, there are fundamental concepts you can study to apply to whatever you want to make. I'm speaking of what's known as The Elements and Principles of… -

Re: A Beginner's Model: Critique Wanted [WIP]
hi recursive sweatpants! Like you I was a student and beginner before, my suggestion would be before jumping into creating creatures, demons, animals, and multi-appendaged people. Jump straight into studies. This was how I was taught and the advice I got from people who work in the game industry. Forget about technology… -
Re: Car Modelling Help
Having modeled a ton of cars, I'd say Dygert is right; the most important step is blueprints. Cars have very simple shapes at first glance, but they really need to line up correctly for them to actually LOOK like cars. Set up some planes, make sure they're all in the same scale (most blueprints aren't, believe it or… -
Re: UV Workflow / Max 8
Pelt Mapping came with Max8 and I love it. I'll say it again in case you are hard of reading, PELT MAPPING. Google it, look it up in the help/tutorials Docs that come with Max (F1). Once you get the simple work flow down it saves hours of time. Being able to draw your seams down edges instead of cleaning up seams by… -
Re: Rebel Soldier W.I.P.
www.3d.sk for orthographic photos of women, some digging around should find you some of the free ones. Really tho, and this is my next hurdle, is that to be any good at this, you need to know how people are put together, and how they look in motion. In short, you need to be able to draw, or at least sketch. So to fix your… -
Re: Futuristic FlaK Cannon
I generally like it, but it looks way to light on the back and heavy on the front. I think splaying out the legs like a german ww2 flak cannon would really help in making it look more like a Flak cannon and not just a cannon of some sort. If it's meant to be bolted to the ground then perhaps some sort of mount/base would… -
Re: portrait practice
Hello This is a WIP of the next model I've moved onto (was in the mood to do something a bit sci-fi-ish). This guy is in the vein of the bad guys from Killzone with a more drawn out/drained look and a bit of face metal to add a slightly inhuman look. I think I'll light this one much brighter and sterile looking as well to… -
Re: game music
Its a bit harsh sounding. I think it'd benefit from tweaking the levels somewhat. Its also kinda stilted. You need need to flow into your main instrument a bit better. The sudden explosion of sound can work and work really well (65 Days of Static are masters of this) but you need to handle it carefully so that your track… -
Re: [Video Art]
Moose: i'd be interested to know the name of that band, should you suddenly remember it. If i was richer, i'd incorporate some midi-knobs and sliders into my guitar for exactly that purpose. Hmm, maybe i should tape a Wiimote to the neck to control visuals, that'd be cool edit: for live visuals, createdigitalmotion.com is…
