Hey! Really nice concept and character, I would agree that taking one of the weapons out would made the silhouette a lot stronger, though if you keep him with the sword it might not read as a solider so much. A few notes on the anatomy, firstly prioirtise the look of the sculpt rather than matching the concept. If…
the sternum is straight, not curved; also check out the shape of the manubrium, and how the clavicles connect to it. the sternomastoid connects to the manubrium. I think it CAN connect to the clavicle aswell though, but not how you have done it. its also very worth learning the deep back muscles btw, if you arent already.…
Hrm. Judging from those screens, I'd say it needs more blue and green tones, all that amber seems too warm and friendly considering the atmosphere I would expect them to go for. Maybe having the interiors use cooler tones while the exteriors stay amber to imply pollution and help the player's sense of zoning and…
Hey guys! I finally return! So I haven't been able to upload my submission for some reason, been trying for the past few hours. Hopefully the cool cats at Polycount will help me out. Hope everyone had an awesome Turkey Day! CTN was awesome. Got to meet some rad people And see some old friends while out in the LA area. Also…
Blockout: Notes: Got this block out done last night. At the moment I am attempting to match the camera angle and position. Overall measurements are: Total room (feet): 8.5(h) x 16(w) x 18(d) These were my original thoughts on the size of the room however I have found that the room needed widening on the right to…
I would recommend experimenting with lots more than just smooth jazz or other "zone out" music. Everybody that works with music seems to have their own music that clicks with them - I've worked with a guy that had a 200-disc blues collection he'd cruise to, one guy that always seemed to have AC/DC cranked up, and one crazy…
Nice results, I would say that the light is pretty expensive for what it is. I would recommend for initial experiments getting a cheap led flashlight like https://www.amazon.com/Hausbell-Ultra-Bright-Flashlight-Tactical/dp/B00CEOII9K you can unscrew the lens and bare leds put out a surprisingly wide beam of fairly even…
All of those are extremely low poly examples and I'm not really sure the lessons they teach translate to the games we make today (with the exception of AP's examples at the top). A lot more can be done with helper joints and more advanced weighting then just two bones and on or off weighting. I like Ancient Pigs joint…
@ Nitewalkr-- hey man :) I got a little distracted from Pitts over the weekend. and I haven't done any Zbrush work in ages, so I figured I'd do more WoW art for the fun of it. I will pick Pitts back up again soon! What do you suggest MoP?.. I was playing around w/ a few of the mat caps and I couldn't find one i liked so…
I can answer the first part of the question and give you a cop out answer on the second half... 1. When im confident that I will finish it in the way I described below, through fantasy, I can then move into uncomfortable territory and try things out of my comfort zone, I can do this because I have a feeling I will push…
