Looking a lot stronger! You've got some style going on, its good! There are still a fair few issues but again I'm not sure how far you want to take the anatomy since it will be covered up. Btw I would like to clarify I am still in all kinds of ways a beginner, so please do take my crit with a pinch of salt as I am still…
Hi! Baking can be pretty tricky to wrap your head around, but rest assured it's a logical process you can break down to get right every time. There's a healthy number of stickied threads to help you with many questions you may have now and down the line: 1 2 3 4 There is also the wiki :) To answer specifics. 1) No, a high…
FACE AND EARS In order to model the face I initially took a picture of my own face and imported it into Photoshop to allow me to draw the appropriate Topology ontop of the image, making sure I included loops where necessary and the face generally has good flow. Once this was completed I was able to import the image in 3Ds…
Great work! It's funny, I actually planned on going on a modeling/texturing spree of some of her weapon work here soon too; one of your daggers and the ram mace were on my list You definitly have the right direction and your modeling skills capture the essence of your concepts, But your textures are lacking to capture that…
So I bought this book because I heard a lot of good things about it. To tell you the truth, the example steps taken are incomplete with missing information and is filled vague steps that are left for interpretation. I'll post the one Amazon book review that really struck a chord with me: "In contrast to the glowing reviews…
I feel your pain also. Skin needs a rewrite, preferably by someone who has used it day in and day out for a few months. It works best if you do skin by the book and never screw up... ever. Even then you can't expect it to work like it should. The more you use it the less likely you are to do something it doesn't like.…
D5000/D5100 is a bad choice anyway, the camera does not have a focus motor and many(about 75%) of Nikon's AF lens lineup will not auto focus on these cameras. So unless you want to stick with the newest and most expensive Nikon lenses, you'll be extremely restricted. A D90 will work with all Nikon AF lenses though. There…
Hey Ben, you have some interesting work, but I'm having trouble wrapping my head around it (if that makes sense). Your style is really unique, but I honestly can't tell if its unique because it really IS unique, or its unique because you are still learning / missed some fundamental skillsets. Now don't take that as me…
As taken from my blog: It's done! That's right, after 6 months of solid labor, Desert Straggler is complete! I've got tons of pics to show, and I must say that this is by far the best thing I've done so far. Considering that I just started learning the Unreal engine about a year ago, I'm happy with how much I've learned…
Yes... oh gawd yes has it helped me. One thing to keep in mind is, will writing this script take more time then all the time it will save? In other words if its just to get you out of doing a task once and you'll never use it again, probably suck it up and do it manually unless its super easy to crank out. Before you sit…
