The point I'm making is, from a gameplay perspective, driving here looks the same, if not better than it was in FF8, so there's literally no reason to be complaining about it unless you weren't a fan of it in 8 (and most people were fine with it in 8.) It's like people are now complaining for the sake of complaining. I…
Object Paint http://youtube/ZwHJgfdOFDw has spacing tool inside , also option to pick an edge from a model to place objects. Has randomisation. So for basic use it's very good. I cannot use it because it's impossible to create precise strokes by hand, paths from edges are better in that case. (I has to modify this paths)…
Ok, here's an update with the paladin. He is rather clean right now, so I should mention that nothing is final! Not even the choice of colors. I'll probably change quite a bit once a finish creating the base. He is 4968 polies and uses one 1024 sheet for the body and one 512 for the shield and weopon. _shimmer -->…
Hahah yeah that's kinda what I meant in a way, it has to communicate something. Like that Blue painting. I remember when I first saw that in year 10 and I was like "WTH is this? How is this art its just some dude painting a canvas blue?" But the teacher explained it to me that in the blue he communicated brush strokes and…
Thanks everybody, very happy you like my work! "The Backwater Gospel" will premiere the 28th of January 2011 and should be available online shortly thereafter. Archanex: For the mouth I made a whole bunch of completely separate mouth pieces, something like 26 in total. Basically like replacing heads in stop motion. I gave…
Great advice from everyone here. But anyway you can always find time:P, just gotta do what works for you. I usually stay home and just do 16mins a day 6 days a week(taking the 7th day off to let your muscles rest n grow i guess). Warm up stretches , 50 push-ups , Barbell squats(start off with regular squats first, and if…
Some lighting books I've been consulting for the lighting training I'm creating: * Digital Lighting and Rendering (Birn) * Placing Shadows (Chuck Gloman) - this is about real lighting for film / photography. Since our goal is to replicate real-world lighting, it makes sense to understand how real-world light sources work.…
Question/Comment about education; basically states: "Home schooled from 4th-12th grade Self taught in Maya Currently working on Bachelors" Most resumes don't list elementary or high school education. Home school is also one of those things some people can be iffy about. While personally, one of my best friends home…
cool! i like it. i don't know if you're just giong for a straight up cartoony look, but i've got some crits if you're not: the scratches seem too many and too uniform. they're all the same depth, too. he's all scratched up, but he does'nt have any gouges or dents, or anything like that. it would also help to throw in some…
You should think about toning the spec down on your barrel. make it 1/4th as shiny as it is now. I would also bring the glossiness down as well. Good rule of thumb: Surfaces that are 100% smooth have the highest amount of gloss, because they reflect light perfectly. This is why polished marble reflects light so well --…
