We did tests with this back with the PS2 and Xbox. Maybe it was just the particular engines we tried (Renderware & Gamebryo) but each one was a little bit different. Renderware preferred smaller textures while gamebryo was happier with larger sheets. I'd say it depends on your platform and engine pipeline, ultimately.…
looks cool, I like it! I think the cartoony look really works well. I guess what is meant by saturation contrast is that all your colours are quite saturated. I imagine poop is suggesting adding some muted colours to contrast the vibrant ones as few things irl consist of consistantly saturated colours (except for toys). I…
We actually had a concept artist intern here like 3 months ago for a 3 month period. :) Although I never remember hearing about an offering of an intern position on like the website so maybe he knew someone or something. And pretty sure that dude totally stole that post from a Half Life 2 modding community thread. Remember…
Went last year, Michigan Ave is pretty awesome. Make sure to hit all the museums and everything. Give yourself lots of time though. ;) We only had an hour for each place which was no where near enough. A dozen places over 2 days was very rushed (and half our school group were idiots.) Chinatown has a great place to eat at…
Love to see the helix armored- its a awesome looking vehicle. As for the armored transport, I know I saw some when I was in Iraq so I dug around looking for the name. Its actually belongs to the "cougar" type family of armored vehicles manafactured by Force Protection, INC. Used widely by British and European armed forces…
If you redistributed the red (to cheeks and nose and little more to ears) it might look OK for a girl whos been out in the cold for some time. And please redo the ears, i know ears are pain but download and image and it eventually works out, also ears are attached to the head a lot more smoothly (yours kinda look like…
Yea i guess, i also started to wonder if irl pants for ladies are made this way, i actually thought the backside had a zipper hidden back there. Though yea seams are a pain, a nice slightly folded seam down one of the sides might have been good enough since that would reflect reality. :) I want to attempt a realistic…
While modeling you should worry. Tris leads to poles. And that's where edge loops ends. Lots of modeling tools requires a quad topology to work proper. All tools that deals with edge loops for example. To convert the quad topology to tris is another chapter, after you are done with modeling :) For topology, and even when…
Some great progress in here, keep at it! If you're interested in doing more character you'll definitely have to bury yourself in anatomy studies for awhile. Hand is looking a bit unnatural. The fingers come out from the hand at an arc. Look at your knuckles, they don't create a straight line. The hand itself is curved and…
the eyes are shining therfore really looking strange. (make them a bit darker and the iris bigger) the hair doesn´t look like hair (you can see that it is sculpted like you have used a rough noise filter on teh brush and it doesn´t fit to the realistic appearance of the rest) you could need some color variation in the face…
