Well, thankfully, not even I'm crazy enough to try for 3 entries, it's only 2 - just "High Noon Toons" and "Lost Cow in Space". Maybe you're thinking of that third animation that I finished recently and sold, but it's not suitable for the contest, because I started it before the contest opened, and I haven't been blogging…
My latest render is below. renderhjs- Unfortunately I am doing this for a client and thus do not have any say over the placement of anything inside the box. I have limited control over camera angles as well. I'll give photometrics a try. The box is double-think corrugated cardboard so I'm trying to avoid it looking like…
The only bad thing I can say about the show is that, come January, it's the SAME TIMESLOT AS 24 Curses! I totally dig the show, and I could never figure out what that familial feeling was until you mentioned Unbreakable (which is my favorite of M. Night's movies). Honestly, I think the momentum is very subtle; not to spoil…
Hey Inquisitive_Scholar nice start, the proportions of the shield seem spot on although you may want to bend it slightly so that it has a curve to it (the amount depends on how stylized you want it to look). Modelling wise, the first thing that jumps out at me is the lower poly count around the edge of the shield, this is…
heh HJS, when i read your comment i was 'wtf? theres over a hundred of those tiny things' before i noticed the big crosses Diwan: i think there are some areas that can easily be optimized a bit. first off you have (or appear to have) a redundant loop in the circles at the base, and you could take out 1~2 loops from the…
Thanks for the replies guys! I thought I'd softened the curved edges and hardened the centred arch edges, and I had, I know I had. However, for some bizarre utterly inexplicable reason the normals were locked on it :poly105:. I tried unlocking the normals after resoftening and rehardening the egdes didn't seem to make a…
I already ran into the worst fuckin bug with the worm boss. Dont even want to go into it, but he was invincible (yes i knocked off his mask) and i played him for ages not knowing it until i killed myself and found out, yes, it was a bug. Now i'm stuck on Silitha. I've watched videos of poeple with less health plus…
Hey man this turned out great! The lighting is just awesome and you did a great job of adding in those little details and improving the metal textures. I do however have two crits for you. Which is exactly what you wanted to hear right!? Good :D . 1. The yellow decals (spaceship with circles) have a little too much of a…
The second version, with the vest is probably the most interesting one. He almost has a southern biker feel which I think fits with the idea of Killer Croc better than a topless gangster. You could probably play this up even further by matching his tattoos a little better to the clothing and story. The text on his chest…
You've made a lot of progress in just two months time, good work! To parrot what others have said, I think the proportions feel off, specifically with the previous gun you created. What kind of references did you have when creating it? Did you seek out technical diagrams with measurements to check your proportions, or just…
