Re: Character Model - Kid - Need Advice with Reference
I prefer working with 1 mesh, if I use 2 objects in blender it becomes a pains switching in and out all the time. If I use 2 meshes in 1 object I find it difficult to grab the right vertices when messing with the model. Also with the Armour I have notices I need to make room for the circles in between the plates and make… -
Re: WIP Gunship (Image-heavy)
Even though it's a fictional craft, it's pretty obvious that you haven't used much reference of actual aircraft. Even the most streamlined, functional aircraft can only conceal mechanical parts so well. Look at your paneling - some of it doesn't even make any sense from a manufacturing point of view. Some panels intersect… -
Re: Post one thing your favorite 3d app does well.
MoP that sounds awesome. Don't hate on me modo guys, but the two modo things listed (UV controls being the same, context sensitive commands) are features I love in Silo. My one thing, since James already said customization, which is the best, would be element selection. Selecting loops and rings happens in milliseconds. *… -
Re: In need of critique on my character sculpt
If you are really going for this anime look.. then you got a whole lot of work to do. :D Actually, it would've been interesting to know this sooner :poly121: What nails the anime look is big eyes, large forehead, pointy chin, small nose and mouth and in some cases a very small neck. The thing that makes these characters… -
Re: Why did I switched to Linux ? [ What You Need To Know ! A Game Artist perspective ]
Fair enough! But that sounds like Maya, might be a performance boost gained from running it in something similar to its natural habitat. After all it is originally a Unix application. Not that it matters when you get these benefits. @Axi5 "I really don't like Mac's horizontal tabs as you open folders, but if they collapsed… -
Re: WIP UDK: Hallway From Deadspace
Okay guys work caught up with me for 1 week and I wasn't really able towork on this. Which was probably good. This project has been kicking my ass. Turns out environments can eat you alive. But that's cool, I'm going to do my best to finish this. I just keep learning so much about composition, what's important, and what's… -
Re: A portfolio of my work for your review!
Very cool stuff, I like what your doing here are just some more ideas that you could use for future projects? I'm not very good with words so try not to taker offence please. :3 For the blue screen of death.... The soft gentle blue screen makes me feel like this. :) The actual blue screen of death makes me feel like this.… -
Re: relief mapping
Hahah, there's the TD for you, always watching the budget! Rightly so PaK. polarize... welcome to the boards! Displacement = heightmap, same thing. Generate them same way you do normal maps, using Render To Texture, or Kaldera, or ATI's tool, or NVIDIA's Melody. Trouble is though, in my experience what works well with… -
Re: Modelling for Animation
Poops example is correct, but a little simplified. The deformation also highly depends on placement of the joint in the limb and the positions of the vertices like the xcloud example shows. Even a one loop solution can look ok to a certain angle for meshes with very low polycount if you model the loop in a 45 degree angle… -
Re: SketchBook: cholden
To contradict a previous post about not posting step till I'm awesome, here's my steps! I don't suggest following these too much for learning. Ref photo, again, searched for a cityscape in Oakland, California. The result was simple enough that at my current level I felt confident in. 1. I start with the most background of…
