so has gMax I assume autdesk rather thinks that students, school pupils and hobbyists are having either the money, their school has or use another way of getting it anyway. art/design university or college is the best way to learn that from my experience. At least a place where you can freely discuss your work and others…
You shouldn't be editing your Normal Map in any form anyhow, other then a smooth soft amount of smudging if you want to massage things into place that are small and easy fixups, but generally, a good cage will get your work done, there is no reason for you to be trying to 'read' your Normal Map since the shader is doing…
I'd suggest really going back and defining what this character is all about. what's his story? What's he do for a living? Is he good at it or does he suck at it? These are the kind of questions you have to ask yourself in order to make a character come to life. I did a quick paintover based on your design. I hope it helps!…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRfoFGGyRvU What I always think about when I feel like there is no way I can make it. I play that video pretty regularly (once a month or so) in the background and just listen to it. Someone who is going to make it in this industry and really just kill it, needs to feel that way. Its cut…
[ QUOTE ] EDIT: I was working on this post the same time Hawk posted so I didn't get a chance to read it yet. Thanks for the info, I am reading it now =) [/ QUOTE ] You have to understand it from this angle too m8. Many Muslims feel that the western world in hell bent on seeing the destruction of Muslims. That is their…
Look, there are many different approaches to design, and boogotti took a fairly realistic one. He mimics the feel of real world designs while adding in a design aesthetic that overpowers the functional aspects. That is a perfectly valid thing to do, because he wanted to make a cool tank, not a cool ultra realistic tank.…
This is going to be a little out of order, because I want to get to the most important thing first. Also, I'm not getting in-depth on everything, because I'm sick and it takes a stupid amount of effort to focus on this stuff. This right here? This is where the big breakdown in communication is happening. There are two…
Thanks everyone for your feedback. Really appreciate it. @Bishop - The reflection cuts off because of the shadows from the trees - It's a specular reflection right now. I've fixed some of the random grass placement now and will try turning down the spec so it's not so abrupt. @BeatKitano - Bloom :) - I thought I had toned…
Hey, this looks cool. I think you need to create a height blended material with a few layers, for the streets and roofs and stuff, so you can break up the monotony and paint in some fun grunge. It would help bring this environment closer to a professional level.
Duuude, how the heck did no one see this? This is looking really solid, congrats on your first post btw :) What I like: Use of color is good, nothing stands out as too saturated and it all fits together well. Texture quality seems pretty good, slightly stylized but fitting for the shape of the object. Weathering on the…
