Been crunching at work lately and that is why I didn´t get anything done. I´m starting to feel kind of sick also so I need to hurry before it hits hard :) I started to model the new throne. Hi-poly modeling so far. I´m starting to like it´s design. I also started to block out the STRUCTURE pillars that are going to hold…
looks like an alright start, first thing that strikes me is it's a bit 'fatter' the windows in the center look too skinny. Looks like a decent start. I've had one of them sitting unfinished on my drive for sometime, I started back when I heard about the game coming out. :D Here's a link I created with a bunch of the info…
Hi everyone, I started a drawing class at a local college I attend. The problem is this class assumes that since your major is Fine Arts, you already possess a drawing ability which isn't true in my case. We started with line drawing of still life which is kinda a pretty huge jump for 2d noobs like me. I still have trouble…
yeah I think John_Warner nailed it. you need to focus on the large forms first, making sure the figure has a nice rhythm, balance, and weight distribution before you even think about adding and medium or small details [ QUOTE ] What's with the aversion to triangles? Is someone standing over you saying they're absolutely…
So, my name is Daniel, a 24yr old brazilian 3D Artist. I traveled to Vancouver Canada to learn 3D Animation on the Vancouver Film School, and finished the program about a year ago. Other than some freelance work, didn't had really much work experience in the area, but I always enjoy doing little projects to learn more and…
If its a behind your eyes or eyestrain like thing, try to remind yourself to blink more often. I talked about eye strain with an optometrist once several years ago just about general concern with staring at a screen for hours on end. He said eye strain is very often caused by dry eyes, and if you are in a hardcore work…
Everything you need to know about facial setup is here: https://www.amazon.com/Stop-Staring-Facial-Modeling-Animation/dp/0470609907 In the past, I usually started with bones, and use the bones to help make morph targets. But these days our character guys use zBrush to make all the morphs really fast. The bones you called…
So lots of smart tips here, but what i would do if i were you is to make good use of animation layers in this case, set the pose in the bottom standard layer (No Animation), but all of the animation for the loop should be done in the "WatchIdle" Layer. With the animation on it's own layer you can offset your cycle, work…
Yup. Commission per sale. Rate where I live starts at $11 Canadian/ $10.38 U.S. You don't have to take every order (if you have to take a dump or feel like humping your significant other during your shift). Even if you just make 10 sales out of a six hour shift, that can work to approximately $18 Cdn/hr. x 6 hours. You…
Nearly done with the retopo, will start UV'ing tomorrow: I expect that with the gun and scabbard added, the final poly count will be around 13k. I can probably trim it down some, but I am dead tired of staring at this retopo. I think could always trim some off after the bake... This is my first real attempt at trying to…
