To add. Here are some foundational courses at the MFA. I'm not sure of teh quality but they're almost 1/8th the price of a private school. Since Boston has a decent foundational art scene I assume there are plenty of other schools around. I just know of the MFA off the top of my head. They also have free figure drawing on…
I bought a really good one about 8-9 years ago but that seems to have disappeared. This seems to cover most of the basics. although they don't cover auto clavicle rotation, it does explain ik/fk blending so you'll get an idea of how to weight multiple constraints against each other - which is what you need to do.…
yeah, that was the plan. i feel a little extravagant giving the floor its own texture and i might still incorporate it into the walls (there are only 3. I suppose if i just made them into quadrants I could quite easily use the 4th quadrant for the floor, which would be pretty efficient and save on a draw call). But i will…
Why would you not? Is an equally as valid a question :) In some cases it's not a coincidence that the thing you do is also the thing you love which entertains you. It's also true that we can have a deep and intricate story with all the action to go with it, but remember people, this film is based on a kids cartoon, if it…
One tends to get tired of reading "one wants..." "one might..." "one can..." "one would". Are you trying to do a comedic impression of a 19th century psychologist? One can only imagine, one with a monocle and a fake mustache. I can raise a few pages of artistic disagreement as well as a page and a half of technical reasons…
The 50% off treatment that a lot of the games in this sale are getting is going to be good through July 5th, apparently. However, there are going to be daily deals for bundled games that can go up to the 80% - 90% off range. The Dungeons & Dragons bundle and the Alan Wake bundle are today's deals, and won't be here…
Looks cool tomdon! The skintone looks a bit reddish to me. Like you have a slight sunburn. Maybe it's my monitor though Also the folds in the jeans on the side of the lower legs could use some work. I don't think that jeans material can make these thin straight folds. The normal map seems to have small error in the sleeve…
Thanks all @Quasar: Aye I agree, it was my 7th model or something and I was just trying to cram on as much detail as I could whilst learning the program hehe (didn't even know about smooth shading at the time 8)). I actually forgot about the back render hehe (didn't even put it on my site). But I found the render. I didn't…
HAHAHAHA love this forum for topics like these you know, you got such a freedom here On my previous forum moderators are so bored they delete every post they don't like for some reason, and for swearing you got permanent for ever ban (My pal got permanently banned for using swearing in positive meaning - sth like "fucking…
Looks like you're off to a good start. I really like the form on your first character. It seems to be the most grounded of all your works so far. As for the female form, there's a noticeable improvement between the 3rd and 5th image. However, I can see you're still struggling with tying the different sections together (I…
