I'm gonna have to agree that the head sculpt detail looks off. i would expect almost a rubbery feeling skin and it looks more like brittle, cracked, stone. Just doesn't read properly as skin IMO. Also, the modeling is great but the texturing looks very random and noisy. It's too small of a screenshot to really see but all…
Loking nice so far. The main thing that strikes me is how clean everything looks. Even though you've got a bit of grime on the tiles and whatnot, it looks like its been recently swept and dusted. Perhaps it has if its occupied by a living entity, but even still I think it'd look a lot more believable if there was at least…
I managed a lvl 13 sorcerer, it's a pretty game with pretty girls haha, but from lvl 1 to 20 is more of the same :( . Solo playing for me was pretty boring. People didn't want to make parties btw... they were like in a "race to be the best of nothing". I felt i was playing a Lineage II clone but better... with same skills…
Way late to this party, but just thought I'd provoke some more thought on a broader topic. It's going to be very interesting to see how internet culture develops in the next 5 or so years with this increase in the 'sticks and stones'(SWAT, DDOS, etc) rather than the usual unfriendly word exchange. I really see anonymity as…
http://www.autodestruct.com/thumbwar.htm Honestly the best thing you can do when starting a design is to thumbnail. Link found in the wiki. It's something i do a lot in both graphic design and illustration, and really helps a lot, helps get initial ideas down on paper and to find something that works. Also as ferg said, do…
Yeah, I havent even touched lighting yet. Thats actually one of my strong areas, I just normally leave it for last once all the texturing and everything is done. I do the same with projection maps. Ill be adding those for the whole forest at the end. I already have the maps for them set up too. I agree though, lighting…
The reason I say mass market is because a lot of people dont think steampunk ish art is cool anymore, some love it, but it doesn't reach as many people. The look of your new scifi corridor scene might be a winner, but it needs so more bold forms to break up the plain walls. Plain walls, panelled interiors are very much a…
What was that third party site thats been up for awhile now? allsouthparkepisodes.com? When Matt Stone and Trey Parker were asked why they didn't sue the folks for putting that site up, they responded something along the lines of "we're all about people getting to see south park and spreading its popularity." Too fucking…
This is looking like a good start, along with getting some more contrast into the lighting/shadows. You might want to re-evaluate your specular and specular power maps, everything seems to read as if it's all made of the same material atm. Getting some real shine and highlights on the axes and any other metal here might…
you seem to know a lot about this stuff. anything you want to share with the community? but nah, only have 2 scars. one was when a large slab of stone fell on my fingers, the other when i tried cutting a piece of wood with a kitchen knife. one of the girls i was .. hmm dating? or something, had scars. her whole lower arm…
