I like the maquette looking renders. Its kinda like the uncanny walley with characters in my opinion, but with non character assets. You got that look in my opinion, so personally I like it. I have a few critiques too. The windows are obviously opaque, and it screams that. You can try adding some reflectivity to them to…
(#2) Blaisoid - I think you're right, but yea it's definetely the result of a high spec setting + bloom to emphasize specular contrast, so I'm gonna dial that down. RailbladerX - I've actually seen Van Ryzin's work before, I was using it as reference pretty extensively during the course of texturing this asset :p However,…
across the board could be taken a couple ways which I suppose I should explain. In one aspect I was reffering to the vancouver, toronto and san diego studios from which I have heard 1st hand accounts, not just isolated to the vancouver studio near me. It also was reffering to the generally horrible shit that goes on,…
I understand why he's pissed, but the way he kept scream kinda got on my nerves. It seems like he would have started asking questions, or asked Walt where Hank was. I didn't think about it until now, but Skylar said Flynn's staying at his friends house, which has probably been the case since everything happened. So maybe…
I personally don't click on any more than 3-4 pieces of a Portfolio. Usually the ones near the top. As impressive as some of those UBER long and really filled Portfolios are, it reminds me of a walls of text. TL : DNR Render in whatever makes your asset look the best. IMHO realtime renderers don't hold a candle to offline…
sorry in advance if this may sound harsh finished? no way don't get me wrong, the model looks nice, the shapes are cool - the normalmaps seem to work good besides some shading errors on hard anglers, which I assume come from beeing not synchronized between normal baker and renderer? But texture and shadingwise thise is…
My biggest fear of buying any "hardware" from Microsoft is their short attention span to supporting a product. For example: Zune, Lifechat Headphones, Windows Phone. So I'm going to drop $3K on a workstation that they may give up on a year later? And what kind of 3D graphics do you really think that toy can handle? The $3K…
@Byren: thanks! yeah it's really subtle but I wanted to make the face a little asymmetric with the expression. @SorinLupu: thanks, I'm happy that people think it's funny. @hypronost: Thanks :3 Yeah...now every time I see the orca toy of my skin I hear it screaming "Please heelp!" or "Kill me now..!" XD @calixel: You're…
Oh balls it's not done. Added a little here and there. More decal grunge. Most obvious change is lighting, which I like better so I'm going to stick with it or something pretty close to it. Signs.. mmm, maybe. Door needs more rust streaking down. Unfortunately with my new lighting you can't see the extra normal detail I…
I was going to reply or something, then I deleted what I wrote by accidentally pissing off Firefox and causing it to shout and scream and finally explode. Anyway, I hadn't thought of that, but it might be neat. I don't have Max (anymore) or Maya, so I couldn't really do much about the UVs getting all messed up (although…
