Time for some colours. I think this works. I spent a while looking through a stack of Capcom art to try and work out what a good colour scheme consists of. I replaced the hands Disney/Warner Brothers styled hands. If it was good enough for Daffy and Donald, its good enough for me. I spent a while tweaking the neck based on…
How do I get extreme realism? I scuplted this in zbrush, also fine scuplted the surfaces... then baked them onto low poly retopo model in substance paitner. imported to blender and then aplied the basic textures like normal, diffuse and spec idk if it was spec I think so...or glossines I don't remember.Occlusion map maybe…
Brian Tindall released a book about articulating the face, its full of great insight from a Pixar veteran You might remember Brian from his amazingly helpful site http://hippydrome.com which goes into great detail about topology, joint placement and articulation. If not you might recognize some of his work. Hippydrome's…

This Character will be based around the Disney Character Pinocchio :) First thoughts on this design was the typical style for…
Which is bigger? World of Warcraft alone has generated more revenue than the top 20 movies of all time combined. Candy Crush Saga ($6billion) sold for 50% more than the entirety of Lucas Arts ($4billion). http://kotaku.com/activision-buys-candy-crush-makers-for-5-9-billion-1740204224…
You're overthinking things, ralusek. You're not going to understand the public. Why? Because the public is [size=+1]REALLY DUMB[/size] and will like what they are told to like. How come Disney is still a powerful brand even after pumping out total garbage for a decade? How come Call of Duty: World at War sold bajillions…
Xelan thanks for the feed back and i was kinda thinking the same thing. i have been working ont the gate and have been doing the whole bones and skull thing. i was trying to push the whole soul theme with color work like having blues and purple being the main base color for the rocks and fire like disney used in hercules.…
Yeah, I know. I feel that's why Disney created ptex. I think most texture artists who handpaint especially for films would prefer to just paint on one big file. Problem is painting in such high resolution is very laggy. Having multiple textures gets confusing especially if you need to repaint stuff or modify some…
I finished Sam - the stripes proved to be awfully difficult to get looking nice but to my own embarrassment, UV unwrapping finally 'clicked' for me!
