the polycount on those bricks are way too dense... You could achieve similar results with just the normal map alone.. i'd cut them down for sure and the corners are too rounded... bricks don't curve like that unless they were deliberately manufactured that way for a special cause but the standard wall will just be it's 90…
Okay, I'm back with some small updates. I got some feedback from my teacher and changed around some proportions in the shoulders, arms, and torso. I still need to fix the forearm beacause it looks a little too taffy like. Gave her the beginnings of a jacket that I'm not totally sure about yet. I originally pictured it…
To elaborate a bit on this, at least based on my personal experiences... Don't be too eager to connect with everyone on any possible social network where you can find them. Especially if you've never even exchanged at least a few words with them on at least a forum or something. For example, many of the better known…
https://www.thingiverse.com/ Is what we referred a lot of people to when I worked at a 3D print studio. Its got an education section as well...though looks quite different than when I used it. I would download some models from there and examine them as part of your learning process. I never made too many things with…
It's a tough one, I don't think I'm articulate enough to pin it down. I just couldn't be bothered to play it after a few days, theres something mind numbingly boring about racing the AI. Not that it's too easy or anything. Online is OK... bit like the DS online. There's lots to make the game more chaotic than it should be,…
The render situation is just plain dumb. You really should have an extra machine to dump that stuff off to during the day. Put it somewhere that is accessible so others can use it too and maximize it's use to the company as a whole. Using the company for render nodes at night is a great way to maximize machine use - though…
PredatorGSR : yes it might be wise to take out any old content, you are right about that people just want to see kick ass stuff...nothing else.. Shepeiro...woman curves man...I can't model anything to compete with that...hahah, although I 'll try definetly to get onto more "organic" subjects as soon as I am finished with…
[ QUOTE ] You gotta mix things up. If you let your life become too routine, it's gonna sap your creative juices. [/ QUOTE ] I couldn't agree more. Get out and visit a place you haven't been. Visit it at a different time of day. Find a busy place with a lot of people and just people watch. Chances are if you hit a creative…
Hey, your progress is looking really good :) The difference of quality from your last piece to your first is pretty noticeable(although they don't use the same set of skills).The difference is so big that it is valid considering removing the old ones. Have you ever done a mentorship or scholarship? If not, I think that…
Hey, looking good! Here’s some things I’d mention; With the brick house, you have grey plaster. It’s really
weird thinking that they would put plaster on the outside of brick. If they did
that, then the plaster has worn away so much, but the rest of the house doesn’t
look old enough for the plaster to have warn away this…
