Right after college I started working a desk job doing package tracing for an international shipping company, off topic, but always fill out the entire form damn it. Back to topic. Decided I was a fat load of s- and started doing research. After 2 months of busting my ass I dropped 100~ pounds and 20% body fat, at the…
Like these guys already said..the crate is just a box with some random shapes..that definitely won't cut it. Definitely go through the polycount wiki, try out some tutorials, etc...like everybody else is saying. Also, it would probably benefit you to try to base your models off of some concept art or something. For an…
For me the series downfall is in tandem with it becoming more ethnocentric. Maybe FF was always a very Japanese franchise and I never saw it, but when I played FF7 I thought there was a universal quality to it, especially with all the Nordic references. It wasn't until that awful movie came out that I learned Cloud wasn't…
Thanks for posting everyone. GCMP, not artificial. Vig, yeah, you're right. Thanks for those links. Started at the neck, actually. Vailias, I really like the point you made about following muscle. That was really what I was trying to go for with my model. Your model seems like it has a very natural feel to it. Did you ever…
Hello ! Nice idea your contest ! I'm really excited ! :D I have a question, I don't know if I've understand everything ^^ The animation short movie should be done only with game animations , like walk cycle animation, interactions animations , fight anim, etc.. (only motion presets, as we can see in every video games) and…
Whoops, I forgot about this! Honestly, not really done any 3D until a couple of months ago. I started with that Jagex character art test that was put online (didn't get it finished, ahem - see the gnome), but it gave me the bug again. Everything here is a WIP. The Star Wars Y-Wing pilot model is what I cut my ZBrush 4R4…
vargatom: Use Cached D3DXMeshes was already on by default for me. Unchecking it made everything extremely laggy. Vig: it's not adaptive degradation, that's off for me and I've ran into that annoying shortcut before as I'm sure everyone has. Whats happening is as soon as you start to pan rotate or zoom it hangs for a second…
Hey there folks! I'm finally mustering up the strength to post more of my stuff up online and hopefully encourage me to get better! I'm also a complete noob when it comes to forums and things so please help keep me right if I do something wrong! Any critiques is very welcome! :) I've been doing 3D for a couple of years now…
I'm doing a lot of my 3d learning on my first DOTA 2 item and I've started to delve into this tool as it seems intuitive and offers some serious power to increase my workflow. I wanted to ask since after downloading the latest package and starting to play inside of it, is there plans to include a stylized material library?…
I started working on a new project as I needed to take a break from working on my train model because I started to feel like I got nowhere with that. I'll try to get back to it after finishing this one. So I started working on a sniper rifle based on a concept by Rock Davinci: Here's what I've got so far: I'm mostly…
