English correctness as an evolving language created by northern Germanic tribes with nothing better to do while rubbing feces on their faces has been a result of "popular usage" for thousands of years. Color is American English: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color And defined as such in Websters dictionary since 1828.…
Its definately a luxury if this is just for a hobby but If your doing alot commercial texturing/sketching I'd say its an investment. We have a few board artists here who's output nearly doubled when they got a cintiq. One thing that I've found personally from limited personal experience is that when painting on 3d models…
Looks pretty good to me chap, and as you've said its early days and your not worrying too much about detail yet. As a precaution or reminder for you Id say build up the back of the forearm - the extensor regions mostly and define that wrist into thumb area, the arms is looking a little flaky towards the hand but with the…
looks cool man, but I agree with eq all your stuff tends to have a very soft melty feel. There are areas of this one that I like- the stretched skin around the nose/mouth area is cool but mixing up the shapes would definately help, get some flatter edges to contrast all the roundness. I think it was per that suggested…
Sorry dudes I feel like I wasn't concise in expressing my end goal. Here's an image of what I'm trying to achieve: My slope mask has been applied to the landscape via my landscape material... and then separately, i want to have my grass meshes change their bottom half's colour depending on where they are placed, so that…
Voting definately matters. One of the reasons the U.S. is in bad shape these days is the lack of effective voting by the population. A rather ignorant and apathetic population has allowed the greedyRich folks to pretty much do what they want for way too long, and now the current generation (and next generation) are going…
Cool stuff, I like your sketchy yet fairly defined and bold style. I think the beard makes him look too much like a generic fantasy dwarf, in order to keep it and still have him look like Thor, I think you'd really need to beef up those proportions - longer legs, more muscular chest etc. Without the beard it'd work better…
good progress, with marty mcfly I know youve already had some crits but Id just like to add youve lost a lot of the shape of the head, especially check out the shape of the jaw/chin, youve got a line outlining the chin/jaw where really there should be shape and shadow defining that form. In general you could benefit from…
Whats wrong with the material editor? seems to pretty much do as I tell it. I've had a couple brushes with maya but I didnt feel very comfy and pretty much skimmed back off it onto max. Once I get the time though I'd definately like to learn, seems like the most sensible thing would be to learn how to use both. I *really…
I think very often these things only happen when you feel that you are ready for them and you click with the right person. I don't think there is any secret art to it. Just be yourself. Not everybody feels the need to define themselves through a significant other. As great as companionship can be there is also happiness…
