ahh cool, never tried hardcore mode before till now~ It actually brings a whole different type of gameplay, a lot less looking at minimap and more time concentrating on the environment instead. I like the friendly fire being enabled too, makes it more exciting :p Sneaking around pwning everything with a pistol makes me…
Biped is a fairly closed system that can animate bipedal characters, it has some support for quadrupeds but there are other tools that are much better and more flexible. Biped is rock solid because it operates inside of a set range of parameters. It knows what it can do and refuses to do anything it can't. It is also…
First thing I noticed about him was how flat his face is. Bring the lower portion of the face from the cheekbones out a bit. Pulling out the brow ridge would help too. Ear is a bit on the small side. The bottom should be in line with the bottom of the nose, or thereabouts. Its a tad too far forward too. If you're going for…
I'm honestly quite happy with the lighting in your rework. It's a marked improvement over the old one. The extra shadowing you've added around the dialing really helps with the sense of depth, and the highlights along the handpiece and cables are great. It could maybe benefit (as mentioned) from a tonemapping rebalance to…
I've not seen the rigging introduction dvd, but I have seen and used the digital tutors' character setup dvd. Pros They are very thorough, explain every step in detail and explain it very clearly. The rig built in the dvd is a complete one, rather than different dvds tackling different aspects in detail. While the rig…
Since it's approaching xmas time (I normally buy myself a good gift or two around this time as well :P) I've been kind of in a toy buying binge lately. Mostly I've just been ebay-ing but I was wondering if anyone knows of any good sites to check out. I'm looking for everything ranging from cool non-rare stuff, to big…
I was sooooo glad this was not another retarded fantasy movie...Tastes differ, but I don't see where people are gleaning two types of films from this..I think it was laced together perfectly...I guess if you were expecting David Bowie to pop out and sing about how fantastic his package looks in tights,to a handful of…
hey man not so much crits for the site. but as for the work therein, Omar Nabiev and Mlink have it right. you need to work on your anatomy. aside from that your skin textures for me really bring down some otherwise interesting pieces. to a few studies on skin tonal ranges and work on making your skin less monochromatic.…
The vases look lovely. The big vase looks like it's got some glaze over it, and the little vase has a nice range of colors on it. With the big cupbord, I think some subtle little shadows around the screw bolts, hinges, and ventilation would help it pop out more. Another thing is that a lot of wood furniture is made with…
Looking good! I agree that the darker background is better. I would say, though, that it's a bit odd to have absolutely no scuffing anywhere in the shaded area on the rings considering the heavy damage on the lit side (maybe just one or two rings could have some similar damage in there so it doesn't look like the shaded…
