Sweet reference and good progress. Try to remain positive even if you feel it's taking a while to take shape - like you say, you're learning the tools. I like the details in the piece, though as mentioned already, the lighting and colour of the texture detracts from the work put into it. Get it into UDK as quickly as you…
This is coming along really nice! I'm excited to see it with all the metal textures added. My thoughts on what could be adjusted. 1. In the ref. the back legs have hooks instead of the needle design that is on the other legs. I feel like not having that on your model kind of takes away from how this little guy would…
Thanks for the refs, carry on then. I never saw these characters or that style of dressing before, instantly thought metal/gold/silver type of bits and not leather or 'rubber' designs. I guess it can be passed off as painted rubber/leather? so those designs can make more sense. Though to be totally honest it looks like…
There's a public terminal in New York and one in Paris that states the following: "Denton is approximately six feet tall, with silver facial tattoos and solid blue eyes, the result of a genetic condition usually concealed by a pair of sunglasses." Obviously it isn't very reliable since it's a Most Wanted description for…
Hey there, This looks really nice, there's some good execution here, the textures are nice and clean, though i think the silver and blue don't really work well together, it also doesn't work as a good break up from the skin to the cloth at her chest. Proportionally she looks nice all the way until the front view. I think…
Would LOVE to see ya try out a macross jet style paint job on this. You kinda have it going on, but needs more defined lines and a pattern that doesn't necessarily follow the paneling (paint is applied after construction typically, and the patterns follow the forms as a whole not separately). I think the key to a…
I haven't gotten around to messing with Maya's UV editor, I have however worked a bit with Blender's UV system. What do you think makes it superior? Well, someday when I feel like I'm at a point where I can actually justify using Maya's fancy tools I'll definitely switch. Until then, being limited on the useful scripts is…

i've actually use to have the job of installing/re-upholstering pool tables working for my parents as a wee kid and I can say that this is way off. The rubber rails act as the bumpers into the holes. the silver guard you have around them needs to stop at the wood. Also the holes seem to extend past the rails on the table.…
this thread is verry similar to the thread about playing hl2 for the first time. sure year laters after everyone else has stolen everything from the sources and treaked and fine tuned it, it would not be overly impressive. but compair it to other flicks of around the same time. like logans run, and disneys black hole. its…
