There was a nice Blender tutorial recently http://boards.polycount.net/showpost.php?p=1006146&postcount=185 with some background info on that since they are implementing that atm. in blender beeing able to work on poly (many)- gons.
I knew this was you as soon as I saw the image. I guess that means either: A. You've got a style going B. I've referenced your portfolio too much C. All of the above Anyways, looks pretty legit. How long have you been doing 3D?
Good evening Polycounters, Figured I would post another update, just got my raw iron fencing for the graveyard area done, little by little piece by piece it's coming together and I love watching the scene come to life. B) Thanks again for taking a look! ~Apoc
Lazymouse brushes and some other custom brushes (Brian Silva's brushes) crash 3.5. That and the stupid scale issues have basically kept me and the rest of my team from using 3.5. Anyone know if those things are fixed? If they aren't I'll have a hard time upgrading. B
Wow, that's looking much better! I like the feathers, although they might benefit from being a bit bigger. You could put some musical notes on the shelf close to the camera and perhaps the B-K logo on one of the storage boxes too, like this: Keep up the good work!
i had something about this put in the wiki along with the not casting shadows option http://wiki.polycount.com/AmbientOcclusionMap?highlight=%28\bCategoryTexturing\b%29 so i just tested out that cast shadows option.. it didnt really do anything for ambient occlusion.. both mental ray and scanline
Before you can do abstract art properly you should have a good foundation and be sure to grasp the basics of art. The same is true for the English language, before you start using abbreviations like lol, lmao, b/c or comp go and grasp the basics. It really helps...
Love the impact and the colors, good job ! The shield area fading is a bit weird to me, maybe I would do transition where this sphere scale to sphere B as his shield buff, then you can add impact effect to tell the effect is complete and that he received the buff with sucess ^^
Movies...time bandits..PLus all those silly B movies like Troll, Gate, Goolies, Battle beyond the stars, Sword and Sorcery..and bunches more. Cartoons...anyone remember Bionic 6...the Mighty Orbots, Tranzor Z ...I wish I could get that stuff on DVD
When he kneels down, the whole of his knee - about a 5 inch diameter - is exposed. Also under the arms (especially if your aiming a rifle). Shit, these are basic weakspots ANY special forces are trained to: a/ Minimise in their own armour, and b/ Exploit in the enemy's. Who the hell was advising him??
