Many people have had the same feelings you are having right now. It's very important to realize that you can do it, it is not "hard". It just takes time, and proper practice. I've never felt that doing art is hard, what is hard is life. Maintaining focus is quite challenging, especially as we get older and have more…
Next character early sculpts! His musculature is a little weird, but I'm working on it. Definitely open for critiques on this one! Also, I need to work on ideas for his armor- which I have zero ideas currently. He's the Mars champion, and for current Earth human features, he's supposed to look of Asian descent. Martians…
I recommend using xNormal's cage editor for cage creation, it is easy to use and makes the process of creating a cage in your 3D software redundant. You're going to need more geometry on that low poly cylindrical piece or else you will continue to get bad bakes. The closer your low poly geometry aligns with your high poly…
thanks for the help, I made a few proportion changes to his head/face as well as his torso... for speeds sake i have to get it done by this weekend so i'm gonna continue on... I have already gone and retopped it today for the low poly using NEX. 6400 TRIS. I haven't gone back and optimized it yet. I'm going to do that…
Mrfido, double check you anatomy before your continue to construct clothing and armor on top of it. Your legs don't have the gestures they should. Also, I recommend talking to Dustin Gagner about his workflow for his Destiny Hunter character model. He posted on Polycount previously a thread journaling the work he did to…
Hey buddy! Glad to see you here, your submission is looking great so far. I'll try using color dodge, sounds like a good idea I attached some other possible comps that I did today, don't have the initial one's I did before starting on this one unfortunately. I like the middle one so I was thinking of doing some variations…
yea, looks like the one I have is a dead one, doesn't change colour and doesn't seem to emit any light at all. My dealings with Dell has pretty much been an up hill battle before I purchased the monitors and looks like after the purchase I will have to continue fighting to sort this issue out too. Then again, on the bright…
Hey! I haven't posted any update for a long time, but lately I finally found time and bought a new computer to work on. Decided to continue this project, as every gun modeller has to have a decent M4a1 in their portfolios. So should I! :P Here's plain model: And lately had some fun with rendering stuff and Modo materials +…
Progress update: I've added some more objects and changed some of the materials. Everything is still not final and is using a lot of placeholders. I've actually been working on this while I am in school. However, I'm going back to finish my assignments I have left before I continue with my bathroom. School ends for me this…
I think it might of been something up with the file itself, it was only happening with the original undersuit MD file, I remade it from scratch and it seems fine now. And yeah today I found out how awesome it is freezing things and the layers system :D I had a quick play around with doing the vest again before passing out…
