Glad I was able to give you some help working up so close to the deadline, stuff like having the bolt visably connect to something in the scene is better than needing to paint entire areas extending the canvas. Nice compromise working with the deadline. I like the added electrical bolts and the electric charged jump…
Prop Update [WIP] Hey everyone, Foremost, thank you Bartalon and Peter for your feedback! I've continued work on adjustments and made a few more drastic alterations to the model. Texture Changes * The roughness of the main body form has been made less glossy. * A mask along the edges of the main form using curvature and…
about the feet; you don't have to go into more detail, just try to be a little more precise with your forms-- right now they're a little flat and amorphous. You also need to raise the far knee on the knight guy. Right now the lower leg is a little too short and the angle from the knee to the ankle is too severe-- makes the…
@McDev The Ambient occlusion channel in substance has a parameter "Self Occlusion" that can be set to either "Always" or "Only Same Mesh Name". If set to Always, this should allow occlusion to occur against all other High poly parts. In the common settings for you other maps you can set "By Mesh Name". If you've matched…
I'm going have to recommend Modo, it just works. The learning curve is low and they have a video primer for those coming from 3DS Max. The new PBR viewport includes UE4 and Unity shaders. The procedural modeling system that was just added can give you a bit of parametric modeling options, and meshfusion has gotten some…
I understand the logistics behind how interpolated smoothing works, but I appreciate you taking the time to explain the bascis thinking that it would help. Unfortunately, my knowledge of "how" it works isn't really at play here, but rather specific techniques for getting compound curves correct. The fact is that it would…
More... The Ripper is interesting because the blade that it fires is nowhere near the size that it should be if it were to fit in the cylindrical magazine below the gun. I experimented making the disc fold up in order for it to fit in the magazine, somewhat like a folding shuriken. That didn't end up working so well. I…
I agree with Muzz that the cropping makes it look less like a portrait and more like a cutout of a larger image. I think you could afford to extend the canvas up top and to the right to get the entire head in the picture, and having him (it is a him, yes?) look directly at the viewer may also make it seem more appropriate…
In addition to what has been said already, I think the posing is really hurting your piece as well. On the sitting pose, her hands don't seem to support her weight at all, although the pushed up shoulders indicate that they should be. The palm should almost make a 90 degree angle with her arm, with the base of the palm…
Call Dell and get an XPS 730x with an extended warranty and you will be jas happy as a pig in mud. Its the exact same thing as an alien ware but you are not paying an arm and a leg for a cool name. I know that Dell does mark up their parts a bit but I think its totally worth it as Dell has replaced my PC 3 times since I…
