Re: How do you guys push yourself to practice art?
What about weekends? Maybe instead of using 2-3 hours a day, you just use a larger block during the weekends and just use time after work to relax. Honestly, motivation is tough for most artists outside of work but I just keep pushing to do stuff so I can keep up to date on tech and improve my skills. I get nervous when I… -
Re: Division inspired character WIP - Linda Fyen
Mathew O Thanks a lot! It helped even out the feel of the material :D Sorry for my lack of updates. We've had an incredibly busy week on our space shooter project and I had to sacrifice time on my APP which lead to a delay in the end. I didn't make it in time for the deadline, but will finish it anyway within the upcoming… -
Re: anime to realism....
@Jackablade: Yea, I agree with everything you said and fixed it. I have a bad sence of facial changes from different ages. I have been trying to make it look more like a 9 year old child, so I removed some defining shadows and added some highlights in other places. @Manic: I'm kinda going for a relaxed idle look . And in… -
Re: art test wip (update: with reflection map ?)
Looking pretty good man. I'm not sure if anyone else mentioned this or not (I am a lazy reader) but why would you model in the grill in the front? I know you have 8k polys, but a normal map would actually probably be MORE affective than the way you are using those polys (looks like they are all sitting perfectly vertical,… -
Re: Female character model (nudity)
the underlying mesh (lowpoly) is very boxy, you have to sculpt your shapes a little better to get a more natural look, overall not a terribly bad start, but the legs have a long way to go, and I'm personally not a huge fan of the T pose, arms at 45 degrees would be better (as well as having the feet together like daz… -
Re: any quick lil tuts for relearnin maya's uv mappin?
Have you tried Digital Tutor's free tuts? I mostly combine planars and cylindricals. On higher poly stuff I use the paint selection tool like crazy, and sometimes I use the look throught camera option for the planar orientation. Yeah, select shell in the uv editor is great. I find I have to tweak with the relax settings a… -
Re: Something people don't know about you
oohhhh i see, sorry for the misunderstanding. I agree whole heartedly with this. I have a friend who just won't grow up, and that's annoying as hell. I try not to let it affect me so much, but I understand the frustration. Though, I also think that its good to get back into the "playful" mood, with your old buddies from… -
Re: 10 tips for freelancers
I'd say look into freelance gigs that are quite different from your day to day job. Basically, avoiding any situation where ideas/materials could be crossed over from one project to another. Working on shooters? Maybe try getting some casual games or toy sculpts. Obviously, the rule should be - day job comes first, then… -
Re: Chaos - warhammer zealot
Sweet thanks for the helps guys. I've been playing some more with getting more contrast out of the skin. I'm going to try an AO bake either today or tomorrow if I have time. Bounchfx: I don't really do anything exciting to make my models. I just build a good model sheet either by drawing it or from a place like 3d.sk. I… -
Re: I am back... with a few things to show.
Hey Arco! Pretty good start on that angel painting, but his left hand appears to have no palm... plus I wouldn't really expect an angel to be clenching his hand like that in the presence of "god rays" - surely he should be more relaxed for that? Also I reckon if you moved his right arm further from his body it would give…
