Very nice. The textured viewport grab from Blender is my favourite, the texture looks really great there. Good directional detail and dirt, believable and not over-the-top. Did you do the concept yourself too? The design is really nice and flowing. I don't see why you'd want to spend another 4k triangles, I don't know…
Wow man this is pretty good! When I saw "newbie" I was expecting something that needed a lot more work haha. But your textures look very nice and believable, you got light wear and tear on places that make sense. Looks good, only thing that threw me off was that the barrel looked too long but no I realize that that's an…
I wouldn't be so quick to blame Comcast if my wife's account had been used. If they didn't sell it, then someone hacked their account records. It wasn't like the typical bots where all the accounts were consecutive. Like when I get some spam at notman05@yahoo.com, you can sometimes see notman04, 03 and so on. Guess I'm…
but getting 3d accelerated graphic card drivers to work is still a bit of work (but it isn't that bad). As long as you aren't an Ati user, in which case you are deeply screwed. One of these "believe they know everything"s is my dad so I can definitely relate. Doesn't help that he gets angry VERY easily and ALWAYS blames…
Generally, If you can't subtle-shade, you should, but I believe you can make any approach work 100% if you just keep at it. Considering your previous work most of Jaco's points are valid. At this point I'd only suggest making the head lighter than the body. You're gonna have to work this one more for proper crits though.…
We're also known for not know of the horrors with the infastructure in other countries! Yep, he has been attending that for some time I believe, we're stockholm based though so I have never actually been to malmö :P I'm hoping to finally go see san fransisco with gdc next year (missed out 2013 for baby reasons), I've heard…
Any reason you can't do both 3d in your spare time and learn drawing/traditional art at school? While you don't HAVE to be able to draw to be a 3d artist, I believe it will help you become a better overall artist. It's easier for a lot of people to learn fundamentals through drawing, painting, and sculpting without having…
Basically i did all modelling, except main door and planes that will be used with alpha textures. Now i am going to UV Map and create textures. I was believing that making an atlas texture will be better than a separated ones but you are right, vertex painting would be a problem, thanks for saving my time :) Wow, i already…
Looks good to me. Chin and head match the ref, spot on. Sometimes I see people getting a little carried away with certain proportion perfection, and they lose sight that the human head is rarely "perfectly" proportioned. Sure, there may be an "average", but the Proportion Nazis would have believing that there is a specific…
Cholden thanks a million for that explanation. You wouldn't believe how much I learned from the simple statement "I start by modeling a brick" and seeing that wire. A fact that I knew in the back of my head, but was always trying to make my high poly meshes out of the same block, which discouraged me as I could never get…
