It depends on the game engine you are using, and the type of game you are working on. 30-64 is the advice from several years ago. These days I would say between 60-128. For Age of Empires Online we used between 16-28 bones per unit, because they were so small. For Orcs Must Die because there were so many enemies on the…
I took your advice and went with what works best for me, but I don't know if it's right to say that it "works best for me". It's literally the simplest solution I could think of to achieve the desired result. 1 hand bone 3 primary finger bones 3 middle finger bones 3 ring finger bones 4 pinky bones in which 1st bone goes…
You only need one eyelid expression to get the others, based on your design, which would be the "eyelid closed" shape. The sadness and anger eyelid shapes are halfway "eyelid closed" shapes, rotated around the center of the eyes.

Working on a model right now for Queen of Pain and was curious what people have done with the wing-flap. Is it worth remodeling the wings or utilizing the existing 90 tri wing-flap? I'd like to use the existing animations and I'm curious if its better to retopo the wings or if anyone has any experience with cutting down…
I love this. The execution is really strong, and the prop work and modeling are great. Overall, good job.I freaking love Lisbon and Portugal, and I’ve wandered these streets a lot, so you really captured the vibe. One thing that can elevate good work to fantastic work here is values and tonemapping. Let me visualize what I…
Hi everybody, Me and pengwyn will team up for this contest! Our pitch: The King, who self-proclaimed as a demi-god, created his own statue out of greed to overshadow and replace the old god statues. During a royal ceremony, nature strikes while killing every participant in the room. Our inspirations: The nature fills the…

[/ QUOTE ] I agree that…
Howdy Howdy, Good news everybody, I started working! I am thinking of a giant skull by the throne, might wing it and trying to nail down the ascetic direction of the project. Thinking of adding shamanistic elements. So a direction we were thinking of going is to have the king impaled on his throne. The story that this…
