Re: WIP:Metal Box of Waste
Looking much better.. good job, but I suspect you are rushing the process. Your textures are very general and are not telling me a story as to what that object has gone through. Also your color is very out of the box(pardon the pun) and depending on the type of paint that was used to paint that object it would oxydize in a… -
Re: Help with Character modeling
Hoo boy. Okay, first off your topology is a big ol mess. Probably the most important lesson you need to learn about modeling is how to control your topology. I can see you have issues where an edge loop you need in one area goes all the way around your model and is just wasted geometry in another area. That's an indication… -
Re: Mainly HS Modeling/Texturing Reel
Good to see you get this done Gabriel. There's some good stuff in here. Here are some random thoughts that found their way into my head as I was watching it: 1) Some of your handling of materials and lighting is great. Your metals in particular are really convincing. 2) I don't know what some of this stuff is aimed at.… -
Re: TGI Friday's (environment)
the other big reason for using power of 2 textures is that they can be operated on using bitshifts rather than multipication or other arithmatic functions. That makes texture operations have far lower processing overhead. And just about every game engine I've ever worked with, and most that I know of support non square… -
Re: New Artist/Animator looking for advice...

Re: Amsterdam
http://www.flickr.com/photos/darwinist/21542160/ Notice that there are waterstains, but they are spread all along the upper edge. Having 2 in very specific spots makes me look for a reason for them to be there. Having them along the whole top edge means that it doesn't need a specific purpose.… -
Re: mall massacre
I knew there would be some flame messages. My point wasn't that these guys are serial killers. My point is people will kill other people no matter what. Yeah a spree killers weapon of choice is a gun because that is the most effective device that is obtainable. Now you are bringing in the morality of the US using the… -
Re: Metal surfacing technical name
I see what you're saying. Assuming that mech is the same size or larger than a person then it's likely that it would be made out of multiple parts. Many of the shapes are still plausible if they were formed separately and welded together. Another design consideration (if the mech will face kinetic projectiles) is… -
Re: [CE3] Hemlock Forest
I promise to show a breakdown of my process for the bark really soon! I will probably get around to that this weekend when I have more free time. I will also be happy to show some of my techniques in ZBrush for foliage creation. Great references to get started though which will help cover a lot: Damien Lazarski's tutorial… -
