Critique & Advice Welcome! I'm currently working on recreating Oscar Molin's concept of 'Mergo's Tea House' (with permission), a whimsical tea house style tavern. Original Concept: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/0l32qe I have made it through the block-out phase, and I'm currently finalizing the tiling materials for all…
You've chosen a realistic style so you really ought to go back over it and make a significant upgrade to the detail level. While its fair enough that less is sometimes more, you have not chosen a 'less' style. Also, the big thing about normal maps is the fact that they can realistically fake more detail due to faking…
I like night the best. It has a nice contrast between the sky's lighting and the fire. By the way, do you have GI (global illumination) and AO (ambient occlusion) enabled in your Marmoset scene's renderer settings? If so. maybe turn up the brightness and occlusion strength respectively to give the lighting more oomph. If…
Man, I dig this piece! Cool concept and great outcome. I was looking at a couple things that are very minor that might give you a little extra punch, most of them are taste, so do what you will with the suggestions. I firstly thought your scene was lacking a bit of contrast. It was very mid-tone heavy, so I took it in PS…
I wonder if containers could work better? I've run into performance issues when I get a lot of containers in once scene but they would handle the instancing/updating a lot better. I agree with monster I think you're starting to dive into an area that not many people have to go, at least not around here. Most lighting in…

I see what you mean with that comparaison I gotta work on that. slosh: thxs for the kind words, in…
Looks nice, I really like the metal parts on the horns. I think the fur could use a little more variation, right now it's pretty much all the same shade of brown, adding some lighter values and some different browns could really give it some life. The really dark shading on the face looks out of place and slightly…
@DudeinCA, yeah if I could I'd probably just change the title to "Freeze Gun" Or "Ice Beam" at this point since it's grown away from it's minigun/gattling inspiration @ysalex Yeah I did sort of like the square bits but they really were unnecessary and boring, and since there's already so many lights on the thing they were…
What are you making this in? Can you make normal glass? Do you know how normal glass works? I'm very sure you won't be able to find any tutorials. So if you really want to do this you better start trying to think about the problem yourself. What makes scratched glass different from normal glass? In normal glass what…
