Just couple pics & concepts I like from the upcoming game I am VEERY MUCH hyped for - it already has more than $7M of budget and 115 000+ registered supporters, not bad for PvP MMO kickstarted last March. As seasons go by, it's worlds are slowly devoured by thing called The Hunger - the end of winter marks the end of the…
Fourth PPM of the year. I'm happy with the textures so I'm starting a thread. Based on a picture of a Highland cow I saw on reddit and a Rottweiler I walk past when I go shopping that gets grumpy when I look him in the eyes (he grumbles, jumps up, spins around and stomps his feet. :) ). The only goal with this one was to…
Ah, thank you! I tried the fast shader material, having always used the red or sculpey and it's so much easier to see it properly. I also had another pass on the nose and a few bits here and there. I've still got the neck to do properly though. The eyes have more around them and i'm just about to start the hair. I may well…
All the things you're listing are either heuristics which take lots of experience to internalize or else small tricks that aren't a significant part of the job.

What stops you from using it directly in the engine, i mean it has th mode (which i forgot the name of) to work qith ddo as an on screen overlay, basically putting Photoshop in the background and you canvtweak your teytures in engine. In…
i was working in a pub once, and after the shift was over the silly cow landlady pulled all the staff in, and started screaming at us that we were so useless we couldn't tell a counterfeit 50p apart from the real ones - "look at them!" she was shouting, "they're not even the same size and weight! You're lucky i don't sack…
Work a better transition into the shoulder, maybe some more edges, same with the knees. You want more polys where things are intended to bend. Try putting in a test skeleton and you'll see what I mean. Count the edges on each individual face- you have many there that are more than 4 or 3 sides which can cause all manner of…
