Hey wonderful people of Poly Count. So I'm working on these moss clumps for a project. I'm doing something along these lines: http://ww1.prweb.com/prfiles/2011/09/27/8839861/cushion-moss-large-clumps.jpg The problem is, whenever I make a little clump it really just looks like a green rock. It doesn't have that fuzzy…
For a long time, being a modeler and working in the industry, I have always felt that Modelers get the short end of the stick. Things get re textured, models get hijacked and studios just kind of store models and stock pile them up. Some people will even resell models that don't belong to them. I used to see it all the…
The paint itself on most ww2 tanks is a matte finish with what I assume is high specular low gloss. Generally I've stuck to greyscale spec maps but always wondered if I should put some color into them. The gloss tends to be pretty dark when ive done them. Here is some reference to give you an idea Pedro.…
But it did take take 5 years of polish iteration and rework which still has a time and money cost to achieve the level of polish on display. Initial RnD from a tech standpoint to get everything up and running (usable but not feature complete) can happen very fast and the art teams probably started at roughly the same time…
Always nice to see my concepts in 3d, and this is quite a sexy interpretation. I like it! A few suggestions: -the safety needs to connect to the body a bit more convincingly. Make it one solid piece. I think you're going for a rubber covering on the metal, but it doesn't work too well imo. -Dump the crap going from the…
I'm resurrecting this one for a pet peeve I forgot to mention but have been encountering lots in the past couple of weeks; When you undo the first action on a newly selected layer, it'll stick you back to the last layer you worked on. This is really, really annoying when trying to keep things organised on layers. As when…
On Slums, all I'd do is drop the outer shadow around the head, and maybe make the contact information a bit bolder. The thing about business cards is that they should quickly and professionally relay the person's contact information, and also be cheap and easy to print. As for technodookie's. Go with the prior suggestions,…
It may be your black backdrop or the lighting, or a bit of both, but I feel it's not looking quite as slick and sexy as it could. Especially the stainless steel barrel -- notice how in this image the lighting really shows you its form and you got a nice contrast between the polymer and steel parts. Comparatively, your…
@Joopson Positive, this happens most commonly when I've clicked away from the model to deselect everything and my hands are off the keyboard. Since it's a laptop, there's nothing that can touch the keys besides my hands, and those can't touch keys when my hands are away from it (and my mouse is further away). Even if it…
