Dropbox works great for image hosting and its super simple to use. I love what you have going on in the face, that's awesome, some really great stuff! I'm not too sure about the neck it seems really really thin. The body looks like its meant to be an astronaut but it reads more like hes a disembodied head, sitting in a car…
@ScribbleHead - Took your advice and tryed it out. First thing I noticed was that the current normal map I was using for the brick was getting washed out after baking lighting. So I went ahead and started from a new brick normal and started to add detail from there. I masked out the edges and gave it its own normal map.…
Cool process. Thanks for sharing. Re: composition. It's obviously favoring the cave mouth (that's my "first read"), but if meant for marketing for Uncharted...I'd prefer Drake closer to the foreground and larger. Same pose, but more evident he's in the scene. Right now, he's kinda disappearing in the middle ground if you…
Skin shader is proving more difficult to grasp than I had hoped. Watched/read a few tutorials on it, but I'm not sure my head is quite wrapped around it yet - especially with how to make it work (and work well) with Moto's dinosaur hide-like skin texture. Otherwise, just did more work on the back plating and a few other…
Welcome! There's a couple of concerns: 1) You cannot change the base texture for the body. 2) The color palette deviates too far from the original scheme as of right now. 3) The detail on the shoulder is leaning on being too fine to read well ingame - it'll turn into noise. 4) I feel like without the bull's heads, the…
I was wondering about this the other day and seems relevant to this topic. I heard that some studios used to give bonuses (not sure if that is the correct term) for every game sold e.g. £1 per disc to the team which was then split between everyone after a period of time or if sales hit a target. Does that still happen…
so what if I've bought a game and it turns out I just don't like it? (not my cup of tea, full of bugs, no longevity) Its not just games that have been completed that get sold on. And, there is a huge percentage of people who don't read reviews before buying games- I can't remember off the top of my head but it's the…
mmmmkay, I'll try the self-illumination/baking in the ao. When your talking about front/top lighting, do you mean like the lightsource is above the players head illuminating the object at a 70-ish degree angle, so more top than front? I actually didn't use photo overlays, but I was using a custom inkwashy kinda brush, but…
I saw this earlier today and downloaded the free stuff after not really being interested in NIN since the Downard Spiral, and I've got to say Im really impressed. The songs are much more interesting than the NIN stuff I had heard snippets of from other albums/ singles - the soundscape stuff reminds me of Coil or even bits…
Because if you know who your character is, you'll be able to define them far better when you come to actually draw them - you'll know what they should carry and why, how they should stand, what their expression should be... sure you could get all these down straight from your head, but taking the time to actually work all…
