hey folks, i've got a tech question and i was hoping that someone out there might have some insights. i just bought a bunch of new comp parts, assembled it, and am having a few strange things happen with my internet connection. for the most part it's very fast, but there's a few strange thing's going on. when trying to…
Hey, welcome to my thread on a Transformers project! I'm hoping by the end I'm going to have a functional and great looking Decepticon to show off with. Any criticism is welcomed on getting this to be the best that it can be. So without further ado lets begin. I sketched some really rough stuff on my favourite G1 character…
That comes with practice :) Try to do that face, the planes of the face - face, as much as you can until you can see where it differs. Look at images of the facial measurements (google) and learn how to measure the proportions of different parts of the face. The ears are important as landmarks to get the rest of the face…
The majority of artists don't have issues with the way the tools work, at least not to a point that they would stop making art and go write scripts and tools. If you have twisted and poorly organized UV's that's mostly a problem with your workflow. How you make something can vastly affect how the UV's come out. If you…
The problem is that balance though Verm. Todays ad/media to out of balance in power. There is soo many forms of competition for an advertisers dollars, the advertiser can get away with asking more specific requests. Can you name a big budget modern sci-fi film that was able to >match< Bladerunners subtle use? (No, Minority…

I do use ddo but im not just hitting the d button then letting whatever pops up become final. im taking the time to meticulously find the right grit dirt rust for pieces and making sure the colors match the reference as well as finding proper ways to use images instead of…
Haha my apologies if you thought I meant that I made the whole shape in mudbox... no way I made it all in max first. The only reason why I took it into mudbox was that unless there is a better way that is less time consuming; making the slightly rounded body [BELOW] I thought I would make the body slightly too thick, then…
It would help if the artstation link was actually hyperlinked, but maybe that's this new forum theme ;) The spray can is weak. The polygon use is inefficient - the silhouette is unremarkable and visibly jagged for 13,000 polygons, and the shading is clearly all over the place. The takeaway from this is not to use fewer…
I can give you an exact rundown of my day to day :) i started at counterplay about 2 months ago, and a large majority of that studio is remote and we have ppl all around the world. Usually my day goes something like this: -wake up, have my coffee, start syncing all the files/updates -go to the gym and workout - get back…
