I'm working in Maya 2016 and I started it a few days ago. Im not sure if I should just scrap it and start over. There is too much problem geometry around the shoulders and I'm running out of ideas on how to clean it up. Has anyone here modeled one of these before? I've seen beautifully done 3D models of Alien and Predator…
Hey everyone! Thanks in advance for your help. Doing my first photogrammetry scan of a rock. What if my control points do not capture all camera angles? Do I have to keep adding more control points until it encapsulates every jpg and mask? I have a total of 110 images for top and bottom. Only about 20 of the images are…
Hello, I had short chance to finally try by myself Alien Isolation and I'm amazed how lighting is making awesome mood there. I'm trying to make same type of lighting in my scene. I would like to know how to make this type of scenes in UE 4. In this article i read that its made by "deferred renderer" Whats the work-flow for…
Hello everybody. This is my first post here, and I'd like to present myself: My name is Mau Vasconcellos, and I'm a traditional artist and writer, who has been working on several sci-fi/fantasy books for over a decade now, and only now getting ready to publish the first issue. And about the artwork: This is one of the…
I'm redoing my portfolio pretty much, and decided to make a sci-fi scene as the first piece. Here is where I am at: I have a few references I'm looking at. Sometimes for individual parts, some for composition/lighting etc. Mostly it's from the Alien universe, which is the vibe I'm going for. I should have posted here…
I used to love Aliens when I was a kid, collected all the toys and I still have em to this day. They make awesome references for modeling, more than any picture could :) More recently, I also bought some of the newer action figures by MacFarlane Toys. I thought it would be interesting to tackle one of these unique…
It turns out one of my previous projects was a bit too much for my skill level so I've had to draw it back quite a bit and start on something a bit smaller scale. I'm drawing heavily from Alien: Isolation. I'm kind of stuck at the minute, I haven't a clue how to correctly sort out my shaders for plastics and painted metals…
I couldn’t resist the excitement sparked by Netflix’s adaptation of El Eternauta. As a long-time fan of the original graphic novel and the powerful writing of H.G. Oesterheld, alongside the iconic artwork of Solano López and Breccia, this story has stayed with me since I first read it at the age of 13. I've always dreamed…
Heys guys. Been working on this for a school assignment. Loosely based off a concept i found on pintrest. Its a weapon that harvests alien larva energy and blasts it, incinerating anything in its path. Right now its work in progress. Still have a week to complete it. Basically done all the modeling and baking, im just…
cycloverid - thanks for the input ! so I'd consider another light source. Where is this? Deep within a cave perhaps? - I was thinking of making more bio-luminescent plants to help brighten the scenes up a bit , but wasn't sure if it would make the level look too Alice in wonderland'ish. the initial plan was to make an…
