Re: Is turbosmooth needed?
Turbosmooth is invaluable for making high poly meshes, especially for normal maps. It's just a SubD modifier for smoothing the whole model. I say this a lot, but you should check out Racer's AK and other tutorials for learning the basics of subdivision modeling. For the "little black edges," it may be over-smoothing it so… -
Re: Quad modelling

Re: Blender 2.46
It's probably a lot easier for someone who has never learned a 3D program to learn Blender. Blender's layout is considerably different from the standard layouts found in most other 3D applications. It has a lot of the same features, but you access and use them differently. Anyone indoctrinated in the basics of other 3D… -

Re: Zeth's Concept Art Learning Thread
Well, the problem seems to be that you aren't able to do a 3/4th face properly. Her mouth is far more in profile than her eyes. I think you'd be best off doing a bit of a 'structure' pass so to speak: Try to figure out each shape as a pseudo-3d shape, because a lot of your silhouettes are weak, like for example the… -

Hello... Maybe if everyone's inspiration is everyone else... everyone rubs off a little bit on everyone else, until almost everyone does the same type of thing? +1 Art direction is key to shaping how a game looks, and yet the final result is a sum total of the parts (story to concept to lighting). There's a lot of grim and…
