Sure thing planes have lots of useful applications like showing big underlying structure in simplified way, help to self correct -> if there is an area that doesn't look right check your planes or plane that area to analyze and correct , checking symmetry if working in pose , perfect when learning because remove most of…
Very nice! :+1: In my opinion portraying inner workings of a given object I think adds an extra dimension of plausibility, let alone time, effort and skill involved creating everything from scratch, too begin with. I'd be interested in your overall process as well, because lately I've been self-learning…
study your materials really really well and USE ALL THE MAPS AT THE SAME TIME. often if you make your spec after your diffuse, your spec will just turn into an afterthought. you must work with the all your maps at the same time to realistically portray an active, dynamic looking material. as far as i know, with DXT alphas…
[ QUOTE ] I was kind of disappointed by JKMakowka. [/ QUOTE ] I think was I was missing the most was an actual less black and white portait of both the fashists and especially the rebels (which were in this movie *just* that: generic run of the mill rebels, while in reality those spanish freedom fighters have a very unique…
I thought that might be the case. In that instance, then, great work! It makes a lot more sense now that I know for certain it isn't supposed to be a weapon. Other than possibly making it more dynamic, raising the right knee a bit, angling his feet a little differently to portray motion - it's all incredibly solid work.…
this is true and annoys me further. I really really enjoyed infamous and this new redesign has killed it for me. They've completely overhauled him, the only similarity is the name and the personality they portray of him is a dick head. ruined the character in my eyes and I dont know why they would want to do that?

Trying to finish up this WIP over my spare time. He's Kalam Mekhar, an assassin hailing from Seven Cities but now a Corporal of the Bridgeburners, 9th Squad - Marines. I tried to portray a spec-ops type of early medieval warrior. Malazan Marines in my interpretation are a fusion of Roman and Chinese armies with a hint of…
Greetings Polycounters, Just wanted to put a small scene together, to improve my understanding of Marmoset 2. One of my first small scenes. Put together a small scene with a Mental Ray render; an idea of mine that could very well portray the setup to an avid gamer's world of where they work and play. Slowly assembling this…
Hey guys. First post on Polycount so I hope I'm doing this right. I'm going to illustrate one of my favourite champions, Xin Zhao, fighting a team of Noxians. His in-game ultimate (he swings his spear and hits everyone around him) is a great depiction of his background story, where he fights against 300 gladiators... Using…
