Not bad at all for a first attempt! There are a couple things that stand out, however. 18k is definitely too high for this model, but you said you'd like that to be lower, so at least you are aware of it. By looking at your wireframe, it shouldn't be too hard at all to bring that total down. Also, using four 2048's is…
I bought a Casio Exilim EX-S600 specifically for my trip to Norway. It's similar to the one steady has. The main reason I bought it was the excellent video recording feature for a camera its size. With a quick firmware update, the camera supports SDHC cards. With a 4GB card, I can take around 2 hours of continuous 640x480…
Thanks Kanga, actually you right I am worked with this character first making the head stylised and then the body looking to realistic reference. I guess I am sculpting between two chairs, with her dressed I like to make stylised character like fortnite; I am going to split the character on two, one stylised with cloth…
@JamesBrisnehan, thanks for the ramble! To be honest, in real life I'm not much of a gun person, I do however love fps games and find them (used to at least) incredibly fun to model. I would really love to be a weapon's artist someday, and I think that's why I'm kind of "stuck" modelling weapons. Like most people I have…
Dan Ariely an awesome "professor of psychology and behavioral economics" has done an experiment which I 'm a bit too lazy to search for a link, but the general idea is: For two groups of people they assigned two different approaches to a task, since I can't remember what exactly they were making I 'll say a face :P. 1st…
I finished before Christmas! Man those tiles were a PITA. I realised partway through that I had fudged a few vertex normals on my Highpoly by making my basemesh... messily... but it was too late by that point to realistically correct it. model My advice for now would be to go for a workflow you find easiest. Modular…
You've got nice work on there but one thing that made me do a double take was that you have written "3 x 2048" on your dragon prop. At first I thought you meant that you had use 3 2k sets (diff, spec, norm). Then I realised that you meant all 3 textures. I think in most cases people say that they use 1 2k texture and it's…
If the lic on the laptop is a retail version you can upgrade. They have a "can I upgrade windows on this PC" tool you download which will tell you if its a version that can be upgraded, even checks the hardware. If its OEM on the laptop, it probably can not be upgraded. But MS does make some exceptions for hardware bought…
Got an update from today: -I've removed the unique geometry wall that Vig suggested and threw a cylinder in there for the moment. It needs some extra TLC. -Added some bowing to the two small blue tanks. Don't know if you can see it probably need another view. Or more bowing. -Scaled up some screw sizes -All base textures…
The combine flipping back in forth in the first sequence seems a bit off in the last two flings. First horse clip : maybe work a bit more on the tail. Not very important, but the two combine on the following sequence settle a bit fast. The attacking one shouldn't get to his oldest position, it feels artificial. Also the…
