I feel that by understanding how to do this with the proper darts and curves, I will be able to handle a lot of other challenging shapes. Funny enough, I went to fiverr and ask some CLO/MD professional to do this for me and recording them selve so I can see their technic, but the majority of them refused saying it was too…
Emil is the closest so far. We're talking cheesy 80s college/sex comedy. I think no one's going to get it at this point, but I'll give it another day. Perhaps there are some aficionados of the genre around. *Ivy League Guy 1 fires crossbow* Ivy League Guy 2: "Nice Shot, Rex" Bob: Aww, they hit us with a little dart.…
Hawken: If I had to choose 2 right now this would be the two. 1. Play 360 for a bit. I find it relaxes me and gets me to a point where I'm not stressing as much about work and I can go back to my work later and be cool 2. Play with my son. Wrestle with him and lately he likes to run and hide and get shot by my nerf gun. He…
@MrNinjutsu - Cool idea about taking inspiration from a mole, I will have to play around with that. @joesolo - Thanks for the advice, i do tend to work like that, I like to work in one subdivision and completing it before I move up... I think in those shots I still have work to do lol :-) Anyway here is a small update on…
feel like i've learned a lot about animation in past few days, wanted to jot down a few notes - adding eye animation makes big difference it seems. even on low res gifs i think it does a lot to bring the characters to life. The satyr character has ears and tail which also help to add a lot of emotion. For example i do a…
A side view would be better for these comments but I'll write them anyway. Back of his neck is either too wide or too fat. This may be related to the back of his skull too. His chin area is a little flat maybe? About topology, you have many flat edge loops. You could use them to define the curvature of the surface in all…
I've stopped using my second monitor as well. I don't like having to dart my eyes around like a monkey in the jungle. If I am working from reference I try to get it right inside the app I am using. Everything I am doing towards workspace ergonomics mostly consist of eliminating reaching with hands and eyes. Keep everything…
In Maya when you extrude an edge, it comes out as a plane. http://zacharyrussellphotography.com/__oneclick_uploads/2010/01/maya-extrude-edge.jpg In Max, when you extrude an edge, the geometry expands. http://zacharyrussellphotography.com/__oneclick_uploads/2010/01/max-extrude-edge.jpg Is there a way to make Max extrude an…
Hey Guys, Putting together the Mayan Temple from the beginning of Raider's of the Lost Ark. I fig'd it would be something fun to do (and something I'm super familiar with, having watched Raiders a million times). I'll be posting up WIP pictures. As of right now I have some basic geom blocked in in UE4 and lit w/ primitive…
HOLY SHIT, not a good thing to watch right before you wander out into the woods behind your house just as the sun is slipping behind the horizon. You might start to see things. Hear things. Kept getting the feeling something about the size of an emaciated 4 year old Ethiopian child was just up ahead of me darting in and…
