Yep, a shame indeed, it would have been awesome to have this option right off the bat! The closest thing to using this effect (in the case of Metal) I found was simply sticking in a detail Normal with Spec/Diffuse information in it, just strong enough to break up the seams, and with enough information to seems like it's…
@Zeist and @AnthonyAnimation covered pretty much everything: this still needs a lot of work to become intriguing to any character animation company. Get rid of the car bit, focus on your animation: look into the animation community which rigs are the best to use (there are tons you see ofter around and they are used for a…
Hello all!! My second time ever doing one of these types of contests.. hopefully my first time finishing one. I wanted to do a more humanoid beast, instead of a hulking monster with a heart of gold. Something of a 7 and a half foot tall, tormented, or fallen angel-esque piece cursed to deteriorate throughout eternity. A…
Teriyaki, Like I said, I have been away from doing this kind of work for a long time. I came to polycount to ask what you guys usually charge. There is no reason to make baseless insinuations into my reputability. When I mentioned my expenses, I don't really have any. We stay in a house that our friends own and need house…
awww, thanks Ferg :) still working on the face, one of the things that's been giving me trouble detail-wise is that Jason Lee is a bit chubby all over so close up pics of his face tend to look pretty smooth. I've spent some more time on him though and moved up to sub lvl 6, (I think I've spent about 6 or 7 hours on each…
Looks nice, I can see some areas that can be improved, and I like warm against the cool colors. Your models look great but constantly check your reference. Airplane windows after the 50's have rounded corners, even on square ones from a Douglas DC-7. I don't think you necessarily need a lot of clutter to bring the scene to…
They chose to include you. Just keep going. Feelings come and go. Use them for whatever they are worth. If imposter syndrome drives you to work harder -- good. If it takes you into problematic perfectionism -- bad. If it makes you procrastinate -- turn the brain off, jump into the work. Also, let others judge your work,…
couldn't get rid of this damn behaviour no matter what, not even a configuration reset did the trick - so i finally had to work around it: - create a direct copy of standard.zbp under a different name and put it into my interface, replacing the default - simply reassigning the hotkey for standard did not stick across app…
alright, finally got a decent bake on this bizatch. BUTTTTTTTT..... imported into UDK, and i'm running into the "half dark / half light" issue. spent the entire night looking for the answer and have come upon a few threads on several forums that pertain to the same problem, but none of the suggestions i have come across…
So first thing I would address is her proportions. Everything in the human body can be measured with other parts for length/width. At the moment she's standing pretty tall at roughly 8.5 heads. Females are typically 7-7.5. My thought is more or less preference depending on your design choices. For her second set of arms it…
