So I have been wondering. This interior is it completely dynamic lighting? If I am not wrong, I think ao was wisely used to simulate the soft shadows. Or is the lighting baked?
Not a huge anime fan, but wow a beautiful piece. I really don't got much else to say on that subject. Really like the soft render and the hair is very well done.
I don't see anything out of ordinary here. Except maybe nice, big, soft light. The rim light hitting the chin of that character on the top right is pretty nice.
I'm not talking about specular...it just feels extremely dull and soft. I think maybe the UVs needed to be split with a hard edge in the lowpoly to bake a bit sharper on the axe.
Really cool. Colossus seems a bit to grumpy to how the character is in the comics. You can give him a bigger eyes if you want to show off his soft side.
This is true. Magpul has two versions, one is hard plastic and one is soft rubber coated. If you want, I could take pictures of mine under different light.
I guess proportion-wise this is alright (its a little hard to tell since the perspective of the screenshot doesnt match the one in the ref), but most of your edges are waaaaay too soft.
i agree with what Tim said and would like to add, that your cloth is too soft and overall flowy as opposed to the pretty hard looking jacket she's wearing in the concept
