Hey everyone! I'm a long time idler of #MD, 1st time poster. I just recently moved to the Los Angeles/Hollywood area and I'm in search of work. Ideally, I'd like to go into animating for feature films but I've found that video games might offer more opportunities for me. With that in mind I've been trying to update my reel…
Wow. Thank you so much for all the love guys. You give us so much motivation! <3 @Swizzle: Yes, we plan on having lots of moving parts. Needs the while ambiance of being inside a mouth. :D @Golden Yak: We've been having some problems here and there with Twitch and I'm not sure if we can recover the video. :( But he does…
Yeah Em, it was pretty crazy. Hated it. We were hit bad in the last week in January, the first week of February, and then again at the end of February. And with the DC/VA/WV/MD/DE budgets for snow removal are much less than the states abobe them, only served to compound the rediculousness. Nearly all of the bodgets for…
I'll say as a programmer I've been having nothing but hell finding work, mostly cause my program was a diploma program. The amount I learned and did was essentially the same as the local computer science degrees, just lacking the english and management courses. As such I have lost potential jobs in the states and in the…
I'm working on a character and i'm having some problems with the skin. I've used MakeHuman to build the base mesh and MD to create the clothes. Unfortunately, MakeHuman doesn't have anything other than a diffuse texture for the skin. I've tried to use Bitmap2Material and NDO to generate a good normal to work with based on…
Working at the moment on a automated optical kerning solution that will build a kerning pair table based purely on the shapes of each bitmap letter. The first step is already done which was detecting with rays certain line heights (shown in red). This will be an advantage when it comes to non western languages as there are…
The girl's legs look a little womanly/adolescent to me (even in the paint-over). She is showing some signs of puberty which is possible at 9, but doesn't read as a 9 year old. Some non-creepy reference of little girl legs (age comparison and all)…
Started off with a head sculpt and threw a quick photo texture on there. I want to keep the face quite doll-like, but please let me know if anything looks off with the proportions. Put in some proxy eyelashes and hair, trying to get a feel for what this will look like early on. I want to do something interesting with the…
yeah, xeno just posted the conclusion I finally came to about mine. I had my 12wx at work for a while, but when I brought it home and I already had two glorious monitors i wasn't sure what to do.. It's been sitting at home lonely for a while (I do most of my work at work anyway), while I looked for a way to connect a third…
Since getting some feedback on the anatomy and face for Elphelt i have spent the past couple of days giving her a big update. Next up will be fleshing out more of the boots and then the face, maybe some hair too! I'm so syked! I feel like her upper lip is too harsh and thing. So i'm going to plum them up a little and…
