People wondering about this are probably not familiar enough with scan data. It's never complete, never fully accurate, so it will still require a human touch. And you'll need very talented people to do the extra work if you want good results. Also, entertainment is always going to have elements beyond real life - sf and…
Update! * Removed the small bottom petal * Split the bottom petal * Changed the tree texture * Added/refined Ivern in the background * Decided upon a petal texture, I want the tentacles to appear as pure white in-game * Removed the eye, i'm going to try and make the "fangs" (more petals?) make an eye appear visually To-do…
The studio in question here is made up of 90% modders from the website "TESAlliance", which is home to many awesome modders for the elderscrolls games, but has a tendency to deify certain members (the AD in question) and turn newcomers into outsiders. They come from a community with very few skilled animators (hence the…
I was going to write a long response, but Skullbox really said everything I had planned to. I've just finished up the Greek portion of the campaign and I'm very impressed with the game thus far. The visuals are awesome all around (creatures, equipment, etc). The skill trees are a lot of fun to explore as well; I'm slowly…
Hi everyone! Thanks for all the e-mails so far. I'd like to clarify a few things: 1) Yes, this is a paying gig! 2) Our time schedule is for the next two months, June and July. Over that period we're looking to design and implement somewhere between 50 - 100 creatures/objects with a handful of backgrounds. 3) We'd prefer a…
Hey guys thanks for the comments. Snowfly- I guess when I decided to make this character I picked the statue reference as only the way I wanted the characters final pose to be. I followed another reference source when modeling the actual samurai and horse, thats the reason why the stylized look(predominantly on the horse)…
yeah I agree with aesir. The detailing too early is a big one. Focus on the major forms first, then refine. The other thing that will complicate this piece for you is the multiple light sources in addition to color changes in the skin itself. I honestly think this is one piece you might want to work up to rather than start…
I like photorealism also..I personally think it works a treat if done well...all the textures started out as photos as a point of reference and then altered/photoshop'd to get the result I personally wanted, but keep in mind that this is a route I wanted to explore and diversify in..in terms of striving for a more…
I wouldn't go with the extra nipples. If you added them, you'd either have to remove some clothing or put more on for it to look logical, and I like the way she looks now. My problem with that helmet is that it looks perfectly molded after that one individual's face. Consider how different people's facial structure can…
Hey Jinian, I remember alot of those models (Nosferatu, Lord of Darkness, and maybe the alien) from your VFS demo reel, that was like...4 or 5 years ago right? I'm surprised you're still using the same models all those years later. Have you not really done anything new since then? The little creature sculpt and the bedroom…
