I'm just a programmer, so take what I say with a pinch of salt. But it looks like you really didnt get a good base mesh to use as a starting point. The anatomy looks off in lots of areas, like the knee area and the face. The forearms look too square and big etc. It's hidden a bit by the armour, but I think you should…
HERE BE DRAGONS! Post #14 in our 16 part series! The last dragon set we will share is 'Basilisk'. Having no need for eyes in their pitch black world, their movements are sneaky & minimal, until they are swift & deadly. The intimidating design made it a challenge for a cuter, friendlier side of this dragon. Lore: "Harry…
"MMO", Blender, a few spelling errors, 1st post... (welcome to Polycount! btw...) and most importantly for a project trying to get help on an art forum, no screenshots of progress made so far. Sadly I don't think you're going to get much of a helpful response around here with that :( For some Blender specific help I…
The workflow also depends a lot on how large the team is... a larger team will have concept artists who create the character designs, then modelers create the 3D to follow the concepts. While a smaller team may have you doing everything. In either case though, sketches and color comps are a good habit to get into, as…
HI eveyone. Its been a while since ive posted on here hasnt it. I just wanted to take the time to thank everyone for their thoughts and help to improve my work. I just got my grade for my organic submission and it was a distinction, the highest one can get. If you guys hadn't told me what was wrong with my first model I…
Be a generalist with a special strength ;) The more you know the better. At least you don't end up being one of those stupid modelers who can't even spell skinning and who start to cry when they have to do even the smallest thing that's not within their core competency. So annoying to go all the way back thru the…
Jesus, I have to say this game is probably the most demoralizing experiance I've had this year. I've played Dota before and did pretty well, but I didn't live and breath it, so I don't really know every hero that seems to be the Dota counterpart, I see spells that remind of of heros and items that sound like things I used…
Nah, I meant tags. So that the thread starter can get a list of similar/common tags that others have used when they go to tag their own. That way when each person tags their new thread, they'd be more likely to tag it in a way that follows the same spelling/punctuation/etc conventions as other threads, which would make…
a lot of great books have already been mentioned, so I'll try to throw some new ones in: House of Leaves-Mark Z. Danielewksi(i think his last name is spelled right, this book is AMAZING) Flyboys/Flags of our Fathers-James Bradley Survivor-Chuck Palahnuk Inferno-Dante Alighieri Only Revolutions-Mark Z. Danielewski Against…
Sogun, That multi colored map is still tangent space- It just has rotated shading on those shells. Are the shells that look wrong overlapped or mirrored geometry? The first thing you should do is debug your object space bake. In 90% of these cases the problems are in the object space map and aren't handplane problems. The…
