I think this last one is an improvement but still a little weird. The individual features look OK by themselves but put together the proportions are not quite right. It appears that you focused mostly on getting the head to look good from the front and side views, but not as much on the 3D form as a whole. Look at the 3/4…
Essentially it's a grouping of techniques/methods for each part of the body since every part of the body unwraps, without much distortion, differently. It's also down to where it's acceptable to have seams. Projection painting in 3D, which is now common allows users to paint over seams but there are times when you need to…
Well this is one of these moments that just require you to make adult decisions and decide whats right for you. You have to decide what sort of boundaries you when it comes to work life. I admire the enthusiasm many artists have when trying to find that first gig and at the beginning of the career. But once you make it get…
I say this because I was once in your place... CAT is pretty decent and very flexible, but you do give up some freedom in order for the system to function, it's that way with all automated rigging solutions. There always have to be rules for a procedural motion system like that to work. It's nearly impossible to design an…
Hey @Eric Chadwick, No worries, its pretty difficult for me to get defensive. I completely agree with you that people can learn from the critiques of others. I do intend to make all of the critiques accessible to anyone interested for free as well to ensure the most people can learn as possible, especially if they arent in…
Useful information so quickly! Thank you! @GCMP Indeed I AM box modelling the head! Though not any more due to the excellent tutorial you sent me. That looks great - much obliged. Thanks also for the quick paintover, makes your point very clearly, shall endevour to do better on this in the future. @pior Which fold are we…
So, it seems like my internet will take another 2,5 weeks to come (expect to not have it before 3 weeks) but at least it is now confirmed to be coming! Finally! Having finished moving into my new flat (still soooome boxes lying around, but empty at least!) I set this weekend to learn how to do hair cards. Being without…
Languages and Useful Libraries: A library for those wondering is just a fancy name for some code other people have written that you can use along with your own code to accomplish a specific task, such as making games. ActionScript 3 - link The language of Flash, great for web based indie games and as renderhjs has shown,…
I guess as harsh as comments can be just for the sake you can still learn from them. Be open and take whatever you want from them. That's what polycount is about. Anyways..... my feedback to you. it seems you know the basics of 3D and your aim is more visual 3 media... but you still gots lot to learn on how to set up a…
1. If you want true full-featured freeware, you will have to learn Blender 3D. http://www.blender.org It is quite easily the most full-featured free-to-use program that can be used to produce commercial work. SoftImage XSI Mod Tool is also a good option, but it is constrained in several ways that make it less flexible. I…
