Re: Occupy Wall St
Cutting taxes is the only way you're going to stimulate this economy and get it going again. The government is taking money from the American tax-payers and spending it on things like: -Foreign aid to other countries -Foreign wars -Keeping troops in Germany, Korea, Japan, etc. -Welfare and hand-outs to illegal immigrants… -
Re: Blacksmith: Real-time
Rodrigo, this is so fantastic. Thank you for putting together so many resources on the different pieces of your workflow! Very illuminating and inspiring :smiley: The only thing I don't think you touched on in your breakdowns and that I personally am finding a little underwhelming about the finished piece is the pose. I… -
Re: Sketchbook: d4psa
Been a while since I last posted here, but I've actually been somewhat productive in the meanwhile. I've worked some more on the weapon, though will post about that later. Also made two more Sculpt January pieces. First, the Day 9 piece which was themed "Mood: Rage" - so I decided to make the Berserk EVA-01 from the… -
Re: New LA Noire trailer "The Technology Behind Performance"
Urbanmelon, I totally agree. The great thing about this push isn't so much that it puts mocap front and center but that it gets people thinking about stepping away from bone based facial rigs and handle it with mesh based animation, like you get with Pixar, BlueSky ect... I think we'll see more hand animated stuff that… -
Re: The weird tribe human's lizard
Hm..its silky smooth for me. I will admit, the music starting in when you zoom close to the character startled me...I almost fell out of my chair. I really dig the shader on this guy...is that just a default color/bump/specular? The shininess is really tight though..he actually glistens when you look at his back. I think… -
Re: Male arm sculpt
yeah i tried the layers but the problem is, that i have hard noise detail (which i need to smooth down a lot, to make them look like pores) and under that i have very faint skin detail, like tiny lines and creases etc, which need to stay untouched.. so even if i make the pores in a different layer, smoothing them would… -
Re: The Polycount Art Project (ATTENTION: Lurkers, Professionals and Students)
I don't know i don't see how this is going to change anything, if someone feels like he wants to do a tutorial then he will do it anyways, its just a shitload of work, which is what most people usually forget. it sounds like a nice idea and no one is forced to join in, a super huge project for everyone will never work out,… -
Re: Geisha Girl
You need to get away from the soft brushes and start putting in some hard lines to define form. Everything feels gummy. It isn't obvious where the light source is. The hair lacks any form. Hair falls naturally in clumps, think of them as masses. You need to paint in the masses, and then 'suggest' the form of hair through… -
Re: Need some inspiration here :(
Dude, you're 15. Enjoy being young because eventually you're gonna miss it (advice coming from a 25 year old, ugh). If you really want to be a great modeler, start by becoming a great artist. Anyone who is good at sculpture also has good drawing skills; they just go hand in hand. You've stated it yourself that you don't… -
Re: Looking for retro games with an old rigging technique
"Quake 3 took a hybrid approach with the torso, head and legs being separate skinned meshes." That's not exactly true. In QIIIA the elements with smooth deformations (torso and legs) are not skinned meshes (as in, driven by a skeleton) ; they are purely vertex animations. They can of course be authored as skinned skeletal…
