B_Korth & YakZSmelk thank you both for the reply, I'm glad you like it so far. Your feedback really means a lot to me. About the fur and fabric, it is still just a sketch so I can "feel" the character more while working on him..her(?). Nothing that I plan to keep, but I agree some hints of the material would be nice.…
Yozora: Hey thanks for the info. I actually just called PowWeb up (the company I go through) and they actually gave me a free domain name, so it costs nothing. Also, they said that once its activated in like 24 hours, both my original website name: www.icantbelieveitsnothighpoly.com and the new website name: bradm3d.com…
Actually the title is extremely clever, its a hidden code... The 3rd "letter" of "Tr2n" is "two", and the 3rd letter in "two" is "o". So now if you read it with this in mind, it says"Tron". Now, why is it the 3rd letter and not the 2nd letter since this is the 2nd movie? Because its hinting that this is really the 3rd Tron…
I fear that by spelling out or hammering home the subtle nuances that made the story great, it will slip through their fingers like the 2nd and 3rd matrix did when they stopped stealing from grant morrison's invisibles. I'd really hoped that as they did a better job of the first matrix while stealing from a real writers…
Will be doing this soon too:) Few suggestions... Your site seems ok, not feeling the colour choice but it does stand out reasonably well. I would shift the text on the left to paragraph left so it sits all together - the top line looks funny like that. Also make the dots inbetween the links sit in the middle of the letters…
If that's still about the Apple Mini: you cannot use e-GPUs with the M series machines since there are no drivers and no support for it. A few years earlier when they were still rocking Intel chips Apple was actually selling e-GPUs (Blackmagic AMD-equipped ones). A few years before that you had the choice of hooking up an…
Think i fixed the shell bug, can you grab a copy of the script from here and let me know if you still have problems with the shell option. https://github.com/cmcpasserby/pbRenderableCurve/blob/master/scripts/pbRenderableCurve.py
This is looking pretty cool, but I think you could go a lot more glossy on the hard shell areas. Something more like this : Also the hard shell areas a darker and more red in the concept. Keep it up this looking nice!
Conical cylinders that are not too distorted should have a straight UV-shell imo: Do a cylindrical projection on the mesh. Btw, do you really need UV-space for 4 unique shells or can you stack some of them?
Do you have the iris concave? It's not reading that way. I'm assuming you have the eye broken down to 2 shells with an outer glass type shell and the inner which would have the actual eye texture on it with the iris being concave.
