Couple of question: 1: are your working off ref or are you just winging it? i would try to make a mood board before you go any further, good planning and diligence can go a long way. I tend to wing it a lot and it doesn't pay off in the end a good work ethic can lead to some surprsing results in the final product. 2: are…
Skin modifier on the rings, use the spline as a bone. Or use skin warp, pretty much the same thing. OR On the spline apply a Spline IK Control this will put non-renderable dummies at each vert of the spline. The dummies control the spline so you're not stuck having to go into vert mode on the spline every time you want to…
Hey @CoreyJArt Thanks for the pointers! The volume of the face ring around the shoulders is a good catch, I'll tweak those a little more. For Chaos's main face, I would normally agree with going for something based off of an actual person for other projects, however in this case I want to go more concept accurate. If there…
Looking good so far, I like the concept. There are 3 main reasons to avoid triangles(or ngons) while modeling. 1. Procedural subdivision works better and is more predictable. 2. during deformation(from a rig) quads that have good flow will deform better. 3. Working with quads makes sub-d modeling much easier. With a model…
The wear and tear appears to be random.. Materials dont read well too. All appears to be metal. Everything has the same scratches. You have to add wear and tear to the more prominent edges, and not just around screws, and ovrerall dings. The Mag Pull on the mag is actually rubber.. yours looks rather like painted…
Feels pretty evocative of a hostile world, but what's your focus point in the image? Do you want the viewer to be taking in the vista of saturn in the distance? You might want to thin out the sky boulders if that's the case. Also I don't know how scientifically accurate you're aiming, totally cool if you aren't, but if you…
The Music and the Landscapes I'm proud to count with the help of a talented musician, Cristian Parras that composed a beautiful epic musical theme for the clip. Once I received the audio file I started looking for the real footage to be placed as background for every scene that was accommodated to the music transitions on…
@Elithenia - I could definitely throw in some more atmospheric perspective and variance. And I agree the grass could use some more love (grass is just so dang monotonus!). Reference was from a street view from Google maps (there's an entire Facebook group dedicated to virutal plein air that I'd totes reccomend checking out…
I'm glad you changed the skirt, it looks better now :) A suggestion: maybe you could make the skirt a bit longer behind her, or add some petals - bigger than normal petals in the roses - around the edge of her skirt. The first alternate hair style looks nice :) I'm not too sure about the nose ring though, Mirana looks…
The “Rammer” airplane went through an additional concept phase because we were not entirely happy with it. The original concept is the one on the right (preview render). The one we went with is the one on the left (preview render). It has a front which is more pronounced, especially if seen from above. I started working on…
