Thanks for the critiques, i'm still not used to levels and tone mapping, i need to practice more. Regarding the bowls with the soup that are too clean you are probably right. While working on this piece i was thinking "ok, i want to make the cart very old and a bit rusty but i want the dishes to be clean because that's…
Your texture looks like a good base but details still need to be added to it. Think about what areas would be touched, scuffed and roughed up the most. Overall the gun is just lacking variation and details in the texture. If you look at the ref I provided there is a good amount of variation within the texture. You don't…
BUYING SEPARATE NDO/DDO LICENSES [ANSWERED BY QUIXEL]: WEATHERING MATERIALS MISSED [ANSWERED BY QUIXEL]: SkyGround, it was just an example using a freely available model so you could try it yourself and compare results. So it's probably not a RAM related problem. As far as I can tell, first patch is almost already here,…
Thanks LittleClaude, i appreciated it! If i had 1% of the talent of the King i'd have no problems...but they were other times. I know i'm too old for an entry position and perhaps i'll give up. Or with a little luck i'll knock at the right door before giving up, but i believe it less and less every day. We'll see. Anyway,…
Picked it up today. For 15 bucks it's a pretty great deal. Some might complain about the "different" play style, but to me that's the great part about it. The maps feel much smaller and more hectic, which actually gives that feel of the real vietnam war and old pacific ww2. Some neat new weapons too. I have a few beefs…
The main crit generally seems to be that it basically looks too smooth and manufactured, so I've been altering the diffuse and normal map to try and reduce this. I've combined another normal map with the original to try and break up the surfaces of the bricks more. I've also added a bit more grime to the diffuse and…
Looking at my previous attempts I realize how little I understood of cartoony characters, sigh...I must have watched like 5 kid movies since if not more. Let's hope I turned this around because I confess to be ashamed but I rather not delete those pics. Gotta learn to live with sucking, we all do, at a point. Edit: No,…
thx for a kind words ya'll. i'm applyin and hitting up anyone that can help. Daughter turned exactly 4 months old yesterday, so lots of motivation. till then, going to try and enter the escape contest since "walking dead" and star wars kinect aren't the best examples of the best art I can do :( escape we had some…
it might just be another case of an app that is targeted at quadro graphics cards and for optimum performance relies on some niche feature that gamer cards don't have available to them. common issue in old-school 3d apps from the past. also making too many assumptions about the target hardware would be quite typical for…
Awesome guys! Working on some wood props now. The scene I put up there was just a quick blockout, and threw in some old textures I made. The final scene will have a lot of raw wood in it. The floor will be wood too. I guess I'll worry about lighting after I make my scene, it seems more logical now thinking about it. Prop…
