So
I wanted to update this blog a bit, it has been quite a while (November woops)
but that’s because I’ve been using other platforms to share updates on the
project as well. And I really want to use this one for the detailed write up
about my process, decisions and current status. But sadly due to the workload
of my study,…
This is looking nice so far! I think it's lacking a bit in lighting and composition. You could add some drama with backlighting from the sun, which would really show off those colored caustics. A little DOF would be nice too. Also the boardgame edge is perfectly straight and even, as is the paper under it. Real world items…
Project For my Uni module, we had to present 3 different designs of a mech based on a concept art and then choose one of them and model it. After some searching I decided to go with a concept art by Jakub Rozalski. The mech is the PZM-7 Śmiały which is going to appear on an upcoming strategy video game called Iron Harvest…
Thanks for the reply and info. Indeed you did a great job with the graphics, especially given that it came out a few years ago and mobile technology moves at a frightening rate.

Bold added for emphasis on this particular point. Praise is all well and good and often deserved, however, mindless praise serves no purpose what so ever. Here are two…

A few things I'll clear up firstly, the final diffuse at the end of the texture workthrough is not what is on the model. Its used as a base and I paint in all the details. This is…
Ok, thanks for the replies guys. I was able to eliminate one of the N-gons on the arm by adding another edge loop. I did so becuase the upper arm is supposed to be a bit wide. I eliminated aswell several edges around the model freeing up lots of polys, yay! Im working symmetrical on the arms and now on the legs. The torso…
i did something that was pretty different, back in the day ... when i started uni in 94 i signed on for english and classics. Due to the nature of the place (keele), a lot of students did a four year course, the first year being a foundation year - it was during this year that i learned of a new course starting up, a…
