Kudos for progressing so far on this! The porcelain/glaze material looks great! Are you familiar with the japanese art (and i guess philosophy) of Kintsugi (mending broken pottery with gold)? It's just an idea, not a criticism. But it feels like it could be fitting from a narrative perspective. As for crit, it looks like…
There is a thought experiment done by a philosopher named John Searle to demonstrate the difference between a conscious being and a computer. He places a man in a room and has him follow a long list of instructions for converting the English language into Chinese. He can convert Chinese, but he doesn't truly understand…

This is a topic that has been reoccuring lately and i thought putting the info in its own thread is a good idea. I will be showcasing a method i have been using for way over a decade now, in 3dsmax. Which is to my knowledge the only tool that allows me to do this. Please correct me if i am wrong, i'd love to have this…
I had a quick look and it doesn't seem to be doing anything too weird - it is complicated but most of the complexity comes from there being a lot of input maps and parameters rather than it doing anything magical. without spending ages looking at it I think what happens is... They generate a texture (data texture) with a…
Good job, those textures look very nice. I feel that they are more monochromatic than original paintings though. For example, on the top of your color palette there's a bright yellowish green color which is used on ref pics a lot. I don't really see it used on your textures that much. Your highlights seem to use a colder…
Hey , this is a slightly different example but you could stop at ~ step 5. Your mesh is really more complex than the one in my example and might need additional vertex relaxation in places (like the crotch area). An alternate way that i used to do when i had no Peel Mode in Max was to simply use soft selection and move…
I did not realize 3D sites had copyrights they held to support distribution of those models, Nice. So just standard copyright stuff that I know seems to apply, which is fine but I do have a bit more specific example as a follow up; What about public displays such as statues in parks. When an artists creates something like…
You seem subscribed to the belief that "anime art" is immune to the common pitfalls of any other style (anatomy, lighting, etc) - a misconception that WILL be a death sentence for your artistic growth unless you nip it in the bud. In drafting these characters, you've assembled a set of symbols without understanding the…
Well you could argue, but thats more of a simple objection What is meant here are diminishing returns. Exponential increase. At a certain point, things you do will have far greater effect for the same effort. This is very prominent in art, or painting to be specific. You can make very rough strokes and achieve what you…
