wester: I assume you dont use max 2010 yet because in 2010 the glare shader is enabled by default - in previous version (starting with 9) it has to be enabled in a textfile. Once its enabled under render settings you can drag it into a material slot to edit it's changes (because its a shader after all). Some complete…
Hi :) I think the lighting can be improved, try to make it brighter (even if it's an interior, low lit scene). I see a gereral diffuse light but not clear light source influencing the scene, nor strong shadows. The final image should be well exposed. Try to get a good result in render directly, then tweak a little in PS.…
I think this looks great so far! It would help to show your model shaded, rather than only in white/wireframe. For example here's a great way to show off subdivision surface models: https://polycount.com/discussion/63361/information-about-polycount-new-member-introductions/p1#make Also, this article is an excellent read on…
Hey! So I'm making my second ever 3D Character, and it will be rigged and used for VRChat so I need the inside of the mouth to be textured and modeled. I saw about as many people saying to sculpt with open mouth, as I saw people doing the opposite, both with good arguments. I went with closed mouth, and as I'm about to…
(Big version) As I mentioned before, in the past a lot of my personal 'for fun' work has been dioramas or prop collections. My goal with OWHQ has been to produce a shippable, professional, functioning environment, with the emphasis on looks first (I'm an artist after all) but design a close second. For lack of a cooler…
if you remove the bones, skin weight the hanging arm cloth 100% to hip or root (basically so that animation doesn't effect them), then use cloth paint tool in unreal, I think you should get a proper simulation. for getting correct scale in MD, that should be simple to solve especially since you do have one working example…
Hi! Commendations for finishing the character and sharing the result. Similar to what kanga wrote, I think visually there's a lot of room for improvement, particularly with anatomy/ shapes and proportions. In my opinion this is equally (if not more) important as technical execution. With future character modeling efforts,…
this is a fun one. the answer to A_Bs question about the mask borders is yes - applying a more detaild mask is totally possible and not very hard. I did post an example of the maths on here fairly recently The answer to your question depends of what you're trying to achieve in your game. If you need what is basically a 2d…
