i don't know if you plan on animating this, but if this were for game purposes your animators would thank you to make the body straight. it would also make your unwrap slightly easier and cleaner. also for game purposes we tend to prefer an A pose to the T pose, since we have fewer bones and geo and need our normals maps…
thanks Max and Skillmister lol... Hey Ged, main ref for the nose is crocodile heads, so its a bit rounded, i might push the face around again soon as its lacking in any interesting angles/forms. For the skin my main inspiration was the lizard skin demo from the new spiderman film…
Daveness,quyeno: Hey thanks for the feedback ! Which details are you talking about specially? I tried to brutemodel everything I could see Oo The only one's I could spot are the red t-bar and the logo on the grip. That's it, and I will add those via an overlay to the normal map. Daveness: Yeah I intended to add the metal…
I did some new renders. I´ve changed and adjusted the specmaps and the reflectivity so that the painted parts arent as bright and reflective and that that the damaged parts have less spec. According to my refpics, the painted parts still have some spec/ref left so i didn´t tone it down entirely. I´m going to try to add…
PSU: Looks solid. I would go for a beQuiet or Enermax power Supply, they cost a bit more but they run really silent. RAM: Putting 1866 Mhz Ram would be useless if you not overclock. The i5 4960 only supports DDR3 1600 by default. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haswell_%28microarchitecture%29 You could save some bucks if you…
Well, you're plugging a texture of a relatively flat floor, no wonder that's what Crazybump is spitting out. You could try a couple of different things before sculpting anything such as trying a different texture (duh) or trying nDo2 (much better results than Crazybump, IMHO). Or you could try actually sculpting it, here…
Did you fix the building height? The reason i ask is because you mentioned it and it looks like an update, but they seem too short still... Of course if you are not going by the ref that's okay too. It's your work so do as you please. Check out polyboost if you want more bells and whistles with modeling and I think they…
My render box is not here yet and all the render nodes are busy so... To derail the thread but keep it on track I would like to offer up two theories why the PC market is lack luster and limping along. 1) We already talked about how MS raped the PC market in order to steal focus away from Sony and Nintendo. 2) Major PC…
@gibson543; "aight so the texture on your ak47 reads nothing like metal, it has no material definetion its just all noise noise noise. Thats not how metal is it reads more like concrete atm. And I'm willing to bet money the handle isn't made of wood" I heartily agree mate. That AK-47 was done before I learnt how to…
@Alex I was using an enviornment probe with box projection but I had its dimensions all wrong. Still not sure if I have them right,, is the box supposed to fit the room or half the size of the room like some people are saying on crydev. @Kenny I think most of us are using one texture sheet for multiple objects of the same…
