Copied and pasted from a recent similar thread on CA. My main axe is my avatar icon here... Ibanez RG448 in natural ash finish, they don't make 'em like that anymore... it's damn fun to play and sounds great. Also have a black Epiphone Flying V (for alternate tunings - Ibanez is double-locked), but I want to sell that and…
Ooooo Gutts (Gatsu, Gatts, whichever you prefer). I'm a big fan of the Manga and own the anime series as well. Umm where to begin on your model... I really think there's too many parallel lines goin on throughout it, even his chest plate could use a little more definition, because the chest plate does follow the contours…
Sketchfab is another fantastic reference for scans of humans as well as classic sculptures - all for free, if you are only interested in viewing them in your browser. I also believe the publisher (?) of 'Anatomy for Sculptors' has some models on there as well that deal with anatomy. Just check it out, :) . You could also…
UPDATE #1 So where are we up to in the development of Generic Jack? And when's it coming out!? Well I'll be honest, I've been asking myself that last question for a long time, but now we're starting to really see things coming together so I know it will be soon, the couple of months kind of soon, it really depends on how…
The DTK2100 is really, really good - I personally find it to be the best out of all the models I've tried so far (although admittedly I haven't tried the massive 27 incher). I recently spent two weeks using the recent 16inch and it was a pain by comparaison (annoying new design, issues caused by the high definition screen,…
Great book on lighting principles: [ame]http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Lighting-Rendering-Jeremy-Birn/dp/1562059548[/ame] I definitely agree with the critiques so far. There were a few things in the pirate scene that also jumped out at me. The pirate flags appear to have been sitting on a white background, which on the…
Yep, this topic has been discussed many, many times before across the Internet, and frequently here on PC... yet it's still one of the first questions most newcomers ask so you can be forgiven :D It's a heavily debated topic, but it's probably worth getting a good handle on Max or Maya early on since that's what you'll…
Thanks for your response. I do very much look at polycount for inspiration, a lot of the work is the cutting edge of things I've seen (particularly the Brawl contest entries, many were awe inspiringly awesome). I'm sorry about the mixed message thing. I now see my flaw and understand that animation and concept art /…
Pay special attention to the details. If you miss more than two classes (out of 10) you automatically fail. If you do not turn in a weekly assignment on time you get a failing grade for that assignment. In their previous system you watched pre-recorded videos, but there was a discussion forum and you could ask questions.…
Der Hollander, First I want to say thank you for taking time to write all this down and go in depth to give me some pointers. I think your post will help others like me find advice easier when they come across this thread. I know that you should start at low subD levels and add levels as you need them to focus on…
