Well, much has gone on in life, conscription has been really draining but I've been trying to work on this little by little in spare time. I don't think anyone still follows this thread at this point but I'll put up some stuff for posterity. I've managed to retopo the sculpt, unwrap the UVs, work on hair cards and begin…
I agree nothing is going to give you better results than doing it all by hand but what a task that is. I do a few metric tons of lip sync every year. Pretty much the same situation it sounds like. The two apps you're looking at, don't. They are both horrible. At work we looked into them both extensively and came to the…
So after taking a look at my own models a day after I noticed a few things i didnt like and wanted to improve on so without further ado: 1: The blocks are too bland for my taste and i wanted to increase the colors on them. 2: Same as the above point. They felt really flat and i wanted to up the edges a little. 3: Due to…
Something I didn't really understand until I saw him play, you're far more "stealthed" in terms of how the AI regards you, if you're leaned up against a wall (meaning using the cover system.)

Hey all, There has been a discussion recently online about demo reels in a portfolio, their worth, and the weight they carry in a student's education. While a bit of a rant, I listed out the reasons against a demo reel from my own perspective as a Lead/Hiring Manager/Portfolio Reviewer.…

I already tryed to reduce the Alsurface shader to the basic of the basic just to test and it keeps appearing only in this part of the object, I even tryed to change the light direction to the other side and it keeps appearing just…
Hello! The concept for my beast is based on the native american mythology of the Wendigo (or Windigo). The Wendigo is a creature spawned from the wrongful doings of humans, most notably a punishment for cannibalism. I thought about creating a benevolent version of this beast, rather than its nefarious origin. I wanted to…
Hi, I was wondering if someone might provide a very basic overview of an entire process in UDK. I've used the program before, but my knowledge doesn't extend far beyond importing my own meshes and materials. Some questions I have are: 1. If I need a simple animation of a car driving by, is it ultra complicated to get the…
I just wanted to see what people have out there for collectibles. What you guys have on your desk, shelves, etc that you collect and like to look at / play with. I myself have been a huge fan of the McFarlane Military and Sports figs, the Spawn line of toys, AVP, and anything Star Wars. I would say my Star Wars collection…
