I've been summoned! I highly recommend Clinton Crumpler's UE4 Modular Environments course at CGMA. 10 weeks, $1,000 USD. I just wrapped up my scene the other day and I don't think I could've done it to that quality without his course but there is no hand holding. He's a great teacher and you'll be working alongside others,…
Great start to the world you are building! I do have one critique though, specifically on how you are injecting color into your scene with the use of colored fog. The middle shots with the blue fog and strong directional shadowing from your atmospheric key light (the sun or moon directional light), they initially read as…
Like the concept. Texture is definitely improving but I would say push the contrast more. Also your shadows are very monotone and need to have color worked in. Also you need to push more gradients and local highlights with this (things at the bottom will have a less bright highlight, etc than the top near the light). The…
Hey dude, the model is nice, but you gotta push that texture further! The first thing I would do is (on the bottom image) see if you can extend that highlight you have going down the front of the tube to the rear. The lighting is getting seriously flat back there. This is especially the case on the rear view (top image).…
The portfolio is nicely laid out. My big concern is the content. It's all highly stylized, specific fantasy. As in, it doesn't really fit in with anything besides itself. In the perspective of an employer, it doesn't look like anything anyone can use. When marketing yourself, you need to showcase content that employers…
To answer the questions in OP though, I use Marmoset for real time and either Max MR rendering or ZBrush BPR for high resolution which came from a tutorial by Vitaly Bulgarov. Like I mentioned above, I find breaking shots down to a specific purpose per page is best with around 3 - 4 pages. Similar to what you will see for…
I am a supervisor in a store. ANY age related sale should be refused IF they think it is being bought for the minor in question. If a ten year old comes to me with an 18 video game, or even a pack of paracetamol I am obliged to refuse them BY LAW or I stand at risk of being fined up to a few thousand quid, losing my job…
I think you got some great feedback here already, so really don't have much to add. But the main issues I'd see is how the stuff used for this barrier probably has been weathered for some time. The metal plates are better now, I like the color better. The tires look like they are a bit weathered on the sides but the tread…
Hi Makkon, First, please finish the vixen model, I like it alot! I was involved too in the Dracten mod and took a break from it, because of lack of free time. After being warned by board members and after reading this thread my decision is fixed - Dracten is history. It's a pity, because lots of interesting ideas were in…
i notice people associate metal with a tight specular highlight for metal. i think it's because of the highly reflective metals like chrome have them. really dull metals don't have them, but the ones inbetween, like a bronze or soemthing, does have a highlight, but i see the larger surface information more important. it's…
