Heh, you're right about the matte surface on old planks; I had a look today. More research next time!! If anything I'm too keen on the fresnel effect :D Short value studies today, thinking about settings:
Lately I've been learning about not getting too attached to my own work. I kinda like ditching one thing and doing it all over again in another way. I picked up an old design and approached it different.
I'm liking the old radio! I've just started my own radio project a few days ago. My only concern is the specular of the wood. On the sides there also seems to be too many scratches on the wood, that conflict with the direction of the wood grain.
The level looks awesome right now. Took me right back to the good old ps1 days. Too bad you can only get halfway up the stairs :p Goodluck on finishing the level. I'll keep an eye on this one :)
Haven't got time to watch them all and check if this has come up, but I doubt it. My first look at Japanimation when I was a kid.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HqSkY4vtVY Far too old for anyone else :P
my main dislike is that you have way too much paint chipping. not everything has to be chipped to no tomorrow. everyone does it, and it doesnt make sence to me. its possible for things to be old without looking extremely beat up/dirty
That's very nice. Never get to see too much from the old Tomb Kings. There isn't much more to really say as the others have touched upon the blade and the polycount. I look forward to see what you do with it next.
[edit] I just noticed I used a wrong normal map on these screens but I'm too lazy to do them again, so here's another one (using an old brdf sampler pior did back in november i think)
human souls! They are cheap and come with papers too. Also sometimes other body parts when i hurt myself, figure if it worked for good old frankenstein it should work for me. Really i buy comics and toys when they are cheap.
It's not even fair that they tease us with this so early. 2 years is too long to wait :( I think I'm going tot start playing some old WC 3 and Frozen throne. Now where did I put those ... :\
