yeah, the first one is absolutely better, but you still have some ways to go even with that one. this might feel unfair, but comparing yourself to professionals is a good way to improve. I hope you dont mind me doing this. Im comparing your gorilla image to "Trogzor the earthinator" by Mike Sass. Overall its holding up…
I've been working in fixing a lot of issues and details -I finished the bottle specular texture -I found the fix for normal map seams... (an issue that was driving me mad, not too much info out there on how to do it!!) and lightning sseams for the skulls - Re-baked the rocks around the window in higher res - in the end I…
Not harsh at all man! Just strong critique :) And that's why I'm here right? I agree with pretty much everything you said. Only a few things, I'm not sure what happened to the lighting, truely. I believe I angled the directional light a smidge and it all just went to heck. I'm gonna go back and just completely reset the…
@Jhoythottle Thanks man, yeah I plan to make something to replace that one soon. A lot of things in there are actually more place holders for what I'm working on atm, example being my most recent thing I made was the fire hydrant hence why its quality is fairly above the rest which were one earlier in the year :) already…
Not too bad. The first thing I see that I'm not sure about is the color of the tree. I have trouble seeing it as a tree. When I look at it I almost see a giant carrot. Maybe bring the color more towards brown and away from orange. Also, the grass bits scattered about feel a little out of place because they differ so much…
Fantastic start, always great to see environments. Try not to lose the girth of the stalk at the top, and when you get to the top of the mushroom, warp it up a bit from the concept so that it looks more natural. What type of gameplay do you intent to use this level with? Looks like a platformer style level. If by floating…
Tons of people have always whined about EA's yearly release schedule. What rock have you been hiding under? I mean, you just bitched about it, so how could you possibly think people don't bitch about it? Craziness. Because they bought into those games already knowing that was the business model. Because it reflects a…
Tried all the stuff under "Customize"? UI Locking and that. And reloading the UI completely?. As for the panels stuff. I think I am with you what she has done. Dragged out the modifier/command panel to create some extra columns?. If so.. try this, If you right click the top of the bar next to the hammer icon. Press Dock >…
I see it works for small pebbles on a ground surface pretty nicely . At least something you can use . But anything extra I tried looks so-so. Much the same as pre AI way i.e. crazy bump. Rocks - it can't cope with shadows , shape of rocks is kind of melted and unspecific . Any grainy flat surface like concrete or asphalt…
