I have been part of forums before but this one seems like it will be definitely beneficial towards current and future projects. On top of that,hello everyone you can call me Andraste, or Meg. :D
revisited an old sculpt i did for a mini comp over at game artisans, ''heads of horror'', i chose meg mucklebones from the film 'legend', didnt like the original pose or hair so i made some changes :)
This is a basketball level I finished recently. It's around 10k total polys in the scene. About 80 textures totalling 9.5 megs, not bigger than 256x256. There are 2 512x512 lightmaps in the scene. One on the ground and the other on the orange brick building. I used Mental Ray to create the lightmaps.
Please email me for contract work, and i will send a resume and links to my work. This is 1 of 4 reels i have. Quicktime movie, 19 megs. http://www.artofbrad.com/images/artwork/CantShow/BradM_DKS_X1.mp4 Brad Marques artofbrad@gmail.com
I think you did a great job modeling and sculpting. Nice work. But I think you stopped too soon when laying down diffuse materials.

This made the weighting process very simple as it wasn't considering all the neighbouring pieces. The geometry is very broken up. The legs, arm,…
If you want people to actually see your work I would suggest you save your work as jpeg. Your first image is a 120 meg png file. No one is going to wait for that to load.
Perhaps a shared one for the folk that need it? To use it, you donate 1-2 of your US dollars via paypal, and thats valid for a year? Most will need no more than 20 meg or so anyway.
