In terms of silhouette your problem is that outside of the plumage on the helmet there are no big interesting shapes that stand out. Some things that contribute to a strong silhouette is rhythm and negative space. Both principles are a bit too involved for me to give a full discourse on in just a forum post but i'll give a…
I like it, but I agree with TortillaChips that some things look TOO saturated like the red wood on the green building. Getting a bit of a Brink vibe too (in a good way :) ). The red tiles on the floor in the first two shots look kind of odd. I don't know what it is, I think maybe the grouting is too clean, and in general…
So I spent the past few days learning some Designer and Painter. Bit of a steep learning curve!! What I like though is the idea that you can go back and forward in the pipeline without as much pain as usual. With that in mind I decided to leave my high poly for a bit and bash out a low and some quick UV's. I also wanted to…
In my scene the shadows are almost pitch black in some areas on the mesh, How can I lessen the strength? I searched the console variables and started tweaking all the variables and haven't come up with a solution. Any help would be much appreciated.:)
Hi guys, I'm new here and need some help from you all. My primary occupation is 2D Motion Graphics and I've started to do some 3D work recently for one of my clients. Now, I know I'm charging them way too little. We were like: "I'm not experienced 3D artist but I can try it. I won't charge you much because it will be a new…

I created a grid with an underlying curve and the "poles" are splines instanced on the curve points, poining up, the base curve gets duplicated n times and they are placed along the instanced splines forming "rails". It all works well, but the problem I face is that: when I split the underlying curve into two splines, the…
XenoKratos, I consider the no-fly-zone leveling the playing field. If Ghaddafi would have access to planes he'd be bombing the everloving shit out rebels. Taking air out of the equasion and making it a land-war, the fight is a lot more equal. In the end it might prevent a lot of excessive damage too, similar to how two…
Chat suggests XP Pen Deco 01 too. A bigger one . almost twice . But I have a certain laziness of moving my arm around too much. mini7 is still a bit bigger than wacom S. Wonder what a genius salesman decided to put microUSB Android phone style of cord plug for Wacom tablets. Don't know how long XPPen contact will live but…
Here are some bullet point notes. If you decide you want to dig into certain pieces to refine them, I'd post a syncsketch link. The below notes will be general, so just reply here if you want to get more specific. Anyway's here we go! * First shot looks good: Timing feels pretty good here, I'd push the posing more and…
