I like the references that you've gathered those will come in very handy when it comes to texturing... but you've left out a major part of the reference - the human sections of her. You'll probably need to use pornstar reference to achieve similar measurements to those in your concept image... and this is where the current…
Yeah, one time I was interning doing customer support for Jagex. I had only just started about a month ago, in a new city in a flat with people I didn't know. I was working a late shift, and went home at like midnight or 2am or something. I cycled home, got to my door - and I realised I left my keys that morning - I was…
You are not doing yourself many favors by using a T-pose in Marvelous Designer. Stick to 45° it gives you much more natural folds on the shoulders and doesn't stretch the clothing on the sides upwards. You see how wide your black coat has become looking out of place. Another thing it makes it easier to check if the arms…
Hi, something like Zac's build should last you a while if you can afford $1525+. If you don't go for the 1440p monitor, or buy one of the two Dell monitors at a later time it's only ~$1325. Or maybe something like this: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3qW4n (it's basically the build Zac suggested, but with concrete picks for the…
hmm that is abit odd, how detailed is your turbosmooth? in terms of divisions... i know my way a little around max, but my main app is blender, to bad i didnt have your file and see if blender would bake out the norms with the same problems... the reason why i mention that is because in blender if i have a issue with…
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…
just wanted to say that im happily suprised that there is a discussion about the meaning and expression behind this artwork. way to level up, polycount! and i totally get how you had other intentions whith this than the "passive woman fearing for her life, due to unknown male attacker"-kind of vibe its portaying now. STRB…
As most people have stated, moving to a place where you have no immediate connections and hoping to land a job without a whole lot of experience to back it up is super risky. I know too many people (including my own brother) that have sat for months unemployed hoping to get a job in the industry only to be pushed back…
I'm not a good reference for advise, but maybe this helps with the topology: http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Limb_Topology You are going pretty good if you want to keep it low poly, but I wouldn't recommend ignoring UV mapping if you really want to learn how to make a complete character. Maybe it's a bit tedious or…
din tai fung is a chain originating from taiwan. There should be a horde of them in shanghai. even one in US. http://www.dintaifung.com.tw/en/area_a_list.asp?AreaCountryNO=4 I'd definitely recommend it. They're especially known for small soup dumplings (shiao lohng bao). The soup inside will destroy your tongue if you're…
