artstream - Thanks for your wisdom! Seriously, all of this makes quite a bit of sense to me. As far as the Trollbane UI goes, you are correct about the health/mana meters. Also, I should have assembled them correspondingly where they rightfully belong on the screen like you mentioned. I will fix that right up. Surfa - I'm…
Drawing every day, 8 hours a day is great but improvement will be minimal if you are not drawing with a purpose. - ZacD nailed it: Do studies. Do lots of them. So many of them you are doing them in your head when you are not actually drawing. - Seek out feedback and critiques and take it graciously and wholeheartedly.…
Alpha handling in gimp is quite easy. First add the alpha channel as ZacD explained. Here you can although choose an existing alpha channel as alpha layer if you load an RGBA for example. Now you have to thumbnails in the layer view, the left one is the RGB view, the right one the alpha channel. Press left mouse button on…
Thanks for the replies all! Cexar -- Thanks! To be honest, I'm unclear how much IK and FK is even in effect with the biped. All I know is I had enough breakdowns to follow the arc I wanted there, but I'm glad you liked it. I addressed the two problems you brought up, and have hopefully fixed them up in this next version.…
@TheWildHunt: I will look into that! @T.Bull: Great suggestions. All Noted, those will go in sometime in the future. Glow, bloom, shadows, and unfiltered textures for sure. @ZacD: On some forums that offer the media tag you can. In order to enable embedding here on polycount I'd have to talk to someone that manages the…
Yes, that level of immersion would be a lot of fun for something like survival horror. I am officially combining my two ideas and saying that would be my preferred MMO. Shiver: not sure really, but it is a difference you can feel when you play a game like Diablo or Torchlight in hardcore mode. Things are a bit more…
@ZacD the concept of Early Access is probably the best thing to have ever been released on Steam, it's just that the execution of it is so flawed in my opinion. Developers should be forced to have a public roadmap so that customers can see how for along the project have come, and so that you can see that the developers…
@RN - Noted, thanks! @JedTheKrampus - Read above. I do, and they love it. @Blond - Disagreed, IMVHO games are on par with books and movies if done right. They also train the brain at certain tasks it's not very good at. @Kwramm - I'll watch out for becoming that. But please try to assume more of me. @ZacD - I share your…
I This has already been highlighted by both Pior and Neox, but just because something is legal now does not mean that makes it right, nor that it will be legal forever. Laws change and update all the time together with new inventions and with society. There will most likely be many things regarding AI that we need to iron…
Finally I was able to render it with turbosmooth on! Yey! I already edited the images above. Now off to the low poly. @Surfa: Yep, thank you. @achillesian: Well when I work, it's not continuous. But If I'll add up the number of hours I work for this prolly it took me about 10 days of work with 8-9 hrs a day. Am I too slow?…
