One thing I'd look at is that you've made a tangent between the top of the throne and the weapon in the foreground. It reduces the illusion of depth and it draws a lot of attention, especially because it's a high contrast area. James Gurney wrote a few things on his blog about it if you want to take a look.…
Get a nice sharp pen knife and fine grit sandpaper. You can build the models as is but you'll get uneven seams and sprue marks all over the place. Best to cut the pieces out cleanly and sand down any problem areas, and then use 2000 grit sandpaper to polish it up (or go to plastic polishing paste if you want it to shine).…
The first round of rough profiling to see how my content will work at scale. About 3 cars worth of parts (~300 pieces) all as pickups with physics. I also duplicated textures and materials. Render target is 100% but I am running MSAA. GPU usage peaked at 46% on my 1070 and core 1 of my cpu peaked at 52% and my video memory…
Lots of good tips in here. I'll +1 that Anatomy drop and add: Work on a single project at a time. I'm sure everyone around here knows its easy to get bored of or burnt out on a project, But if you split your time between 4 models, each will 1/4th the quality of your whatever may be rendered with your full attention. 1…
idk about the axe, idk what the meaning would be but i feel this could label you as being able to be axed, as in "used and tossed", after a game ships. That is what i see not to be mean or anything but an axe is not something i think about when i think art, perhaps a picture of yourself (in animated mode) with your thumb…
She has kind of a squat, baby-face at the moment. I like your hands and feet, but your torso and limbs are kind of undefined in terms of anatomical structure at the moment. Ysalex said it well. I'm assuming it's the perspective skewing the image, but her legs might be too short. A normal person's legs are a bit less than…
If I can criticize, you need to redo your door. It should be wooden color with a window similar to this: http://gettinderbox.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/office-door-open.jpg Also your cornice are wrong color. If you are using wooden colored wainscoting, cornice should be same color. What is that thing behind the desk?…
Wow, thanks for the quick response Earthquake. So its literally a matter of being accurate when plausible (i.e. when taking the images yourself) but when using sources provided matching them as close as possible to similar objects i.e. like the library marmoset has kindly offered for a few objects. By equalising I meant…
http://frictionalgames.blogspot.com/2011/02/thoughts-on-dead-space-2.html I agree a lot with this. I think games should be more immersive. Resident Evil 4 did the perfect balance between horror and action and a great story. DS2 is a beautiful game visually, and they really did a good job with the loading, it's like one…
Got it last night and having a blast. Not played online yet cause the single player is so fecking good! Music and backstory are great and the writing is humorous and witty. Finding myself captivated by the whole setting. Not played many games recently due to hype/disappointment so this is a breath of fresh air. This game…
