Exceptional work on those alien dead remains suspended in tubes. This has a lot going on for it, im not sure if the bottom ribbed designs are bones or tubes or other weirdness but it looks great. Lots of visual interest, but perfectly clear in the playspace.
I think that god of war will be much more fun to play than watch. God of War 2 still has some of the most fun boss battles ive ever played (except for Zeus, that wasnt much fun).
Nice detail, and the bake and colors are nice and clean. The only critique I have that is not stated above is that the silhouette is very generic and boring. There is nothing unique about this silhouette at all with the exception of the thing sticking out of the side of the character's face.
Standard vs a&d depends on what you are doing. Off the top of my head all the basic shaders that ship with Max should work in mental ray, except shadow/matte, and mr has it's own version of that now.
this is coming along nicely the only thing that I see awkward is the hologram screen.. don't think it makes too much sense when the whole room is old and rusty.. except for that high tech computer. keep it up dude
I'm using Opera, except for a few deliberately broken functions (Opera users can't delete their junkmail, MS is notorious for doing that on purpose) it works. But I've switched to web.de because neither Hotmail nor Lycos support POP3.
Thanks Ged, yeah I'm still trying to get the hang of it myself. It's fun though :) Gonna go for a treehouse theme this time. I think I'm going to go with the top right thumbnail, except with more layers of houses.
[ QUOTE ] Is it possible to import the old emoticons (except that bear type one ) that soern did all those years ago? [/ QUOTE ] Done by our own sorely missed "SchwimmelPuckel" or are you talking about even older ones?
Try to keep your polygons nicely spread out except for where detail is needed, eg collar bones etc. Also try to think about the flow of polygons alongside muscles, researching anatomy will help out a lot.
