I found MMOs repetitive and boring because you're doing the same three things over and over again but to each his own I guess... What I really hate in games are those scripted sequences in HL and HL2. Sure, nice idea to keep them from the POV of the player but I feel like a spectator with no purpose during those scenes…
what about demo-ing it first? i do not believe at all that polytrans handles whatever you throw at it. i used to use it way back to transfer between max and softimage 3d and it was as limited as any other scene translator, meaning that some things just could not be transferred. if you're only dealing with baked down…
Man, I do like this character...he just oozes...character I can feel what ironbearxl is talking about, though...maybe if you just brought his shoulders and head down just a tad, he'd round out to something closer to the concept sketches? And as to mise-en-scene...about all I know is that if the camera is above the subject,…
Hey Jim, /wall'o'text lets talk some theory: This is a pretty boring scene - yet there is potential to tell some sort of interesting story with it. Take the time to stop thinking about the technical process for a minute and put a little creative thought into how you can convey something to the viewer. You don't have to…
so it turns out after having my appendix removed over Christmas after it tried to burst on me i can't sit up enough to comfortably use my tablet and sculpt ( have my desk against a wall so normally i have to sit with a half decent posture while i'm working, that and my tablet is plugged into the back of my machine)... so i…
This is a few giant steps above what you started with so nice work! But the edge still blends too abruptly almost as if it was swept into a pile. There aren't any big chunks breaking up the outer edge. The pile is pretty chaotic, which rubble should be, but it makes it hard to distinguish any of the pieces. The "doing more…
Totally agree with with what Chris says. You should really find out the area you are most passionate about, and really just focus on honing in all of your skills in that area, rather than bouncing between several different disciplines. As for actual art critiquing. Right away I noticed how clean your environments were. And…
Greenhouses creep me out, especially ones with dirty/broken windows, overgrown plants, and a door that has fallen off of 2 of the three hinges. Or maybe a screened in patio off the back door you have in the scene? Something to give you a tiny interesting peak at what may lay inside, but not give away the secret? I agree…
Good looking scene! First off, get rid of that insane chromatic abberation :) it makes the scene hard to see. There is a sharp line inside the water, maybe use some blending there. A lot of interpenetrating geometry that just breaks immersion. Its ok to do some interp meshes because in most cases you cant avoid it. But at…
Day 11 Hi guys! So today I worked only 4 hours but they were productive: I've done all bakes and started to set up Painter scene to texture this pretty gun. Just created some base layers and still experimenting with colors and materials settings. Actually it will take some time for me as I like to try different variations…
