Updating work in progress Replacing meshes and applying textures everywhere. Space is more or less blocked in, just trying to make it all cohesive? Feels like I need to polish the metals or textures a bit more, not sure where to approach that. Gold is such a weird metal, looks so fake sometimes. Swapping marble texture on…
I second most of Sacboi's recommendations (Udemy has a lot of schlock with a couple gems). If you want to drop a little more money and have the time and energy to dedicate to an online course you could also check out CGMA. If you're looking for a "masterclass" kind of deal on prop modeling and texturing using today's…
This a pretty nice character! However it doesn't feel like Overwatch for a few reasons I think: * Some materials have a little too much edge wear, really apparent on her shirt/jacket * The technology reads kinda old and steampunk, which might work for some skins but Overwatch has a very clear future vibe to it's tech. *…
nope, I'd say that 80% of the albeit wonderful character work that gets done end up in a t-pose. then 98% don't get rigged, the 2% that do are just rigged so that they can be put in some sort of pose instead of the t-pose (if its not done by just moving groups of vertexes that is). anyhow, I'm gonna say that the rigs…
So........ after alot of headaches, and life throwing curve balls at me, Im back with a new sneak peak to my Gundam scene ^_^. Im just playing around with Maya Toon Shader, and Im really digging the feeling Im getting from the shader itself with the scene. The scene in reality is me just wanting to play off the old cartoon…
You know Atticusmars, that's one of my main questions as well. A lot our alumni go on to start their own studios, and it's just not financially affordable to stick to the same software as the big studios. Indies quickly learn that tools that give you 80% of what you need at 20% of the cost is a fair trade! At the same…
Hello, Thanks for the help. I've sped the animation to 80 frames so 2.7 ish seconds, it looks a bit fast on parts but that's my Timing which I'm trying to fix. After overlapping the reference I've realised a lot of the animation Is off when the character is at the right side of the video. My rigs are quite basic so epic…
I'm glad not everyone has the same views, or there would be no variation in games. I'm very disappointed that they do seem to be going in this direction. Mass effect is a different series but they seem to be trying to make them more and more similar and that's a real downer. Mass effect is a great series, but I don't want…
I have a penchant for military armoured vehicles. Perhaps an interest established as a young man serving with a Reconnaissance Cavalry Regiment during the 80s. So if a particular subject happens to catch my eye enough too invest a quota of time/effort generating a 3D polygonal facsimile, I'll typically zero in on various…
if anyone needs a place to stay me and 2 other friends are renting a room with 2 double beds at the Sheraton, which is right across the street from the convention center. So if you don't mind getting a little cozy with strangers for some sleep then you are welcome plus we will have 2 cots and the floor as well. also we…
