My big beef with this last piece of yours is that there is no clear focus. Is it the broken bridge, the rock structure with a face, the cloud swirl, or even the tiny figure at the bottom? They are all built up to the same level of finish resulting in each of them fighting for attention (aside from the dude, he's just…
Fast CPU (especially if you use zbrush or do renders), fast gpu, and tons of ram. Intel CPUs are more expensive but clock-for-clock are faster then AMD ones (and If you can wait till Jan9 the next generation of Intel CPUs will be getting released (Sandy-Bridge)). GPU wise most professionals use NVidia (GTX 580 being the…
Great piece. Before reading your first post I was thinking it looked like the final scene from Saving Private Ryan. A prop suggestion of mine is a bicycle, perhaps. Did you include the bomb craters the Americans used as cover when they were making way to the other side of the bridge? I would use artistic license on the…
Your smaller details are actually pretty decent. The facial features, excepting the lack of eyes, are reading fairly well. Once you sharpen and refine them it should look pretty good. Presuming this is a normal human male, the biggest problems for me are the overall proportions. He's got a lot of unnecessary mass on the…
In maya.. the best and most reliable way to boolean is to delete history on the object after each boolean... that is really the only effective way to boolean without having weird errors.. That said... booleans are pretty fail in most programs.. it might be worth just modeling the holes out via a plane and then making it…
@Savannakhet That's in the itinerary yeah haha but it'll be a final prop if anything. Depending how long this piece drags out and how noisy it becomes as I place all the elements in bit by bit I may end up simplifying the details since it's at a distance. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it though :) Right now I'm…
More of a DnB'er nowadays, but how's about some tunes to bridge the gap?

@Mant1kore You'll get this soft shading unless you edit the vertex normals: I think it's best to use both methods as called for. Think of something like a metal or wooden bridge, made of a lot of planks or girders - using bevels on all those edges will add a lot of triangles and it will be more work involved to correct the…
Yuh! She's a 2001 Goldtop Standard. I dropped in a zebra 57 Classic in the neck and a Burstbucker 3 in the bridge. I can get bell tower chimes or heavy rock easily :D I really just dick around with random chord progressions until I find something that makes me happy, and then I play it to death until I find a new pattern.…
generally I wouldn't worry about it. It should be fine as long as you don't credit yourself. The amount of work and effort that goes into making a game ready model is a bit daunting. Regardless of how well you depict the original concept, the original concept artist should be flattered that the attempt was made. I know I`d…
