Hi guys. Very quick intro: I've been doing 3d as a hobby in some form or another for twenty years. Nine years ago I wrote a screenplay for a short horror film. I tried to produce it six years ago but realised within a week that I didn't have the skills at the time. Two years ago I did a masters in games art and last May I…
I haven't the time no inclination to read the entire thread up to this point, especially because I read the last one and I can't imagine it being too different. Honestly, I think whether or not piracy is wrong/illegal is completely a moot point at this day and age. The fact is piracy happens, and cannot really be curtailed…
[ QUOTE ] Perhaps I was giving an example from my experience. [/ QUOTE ] Here's an example from my experience.

By my count the "cargo transport" and the helmets have 4 votes each. I would cast my vote for the transport, as I feel it can be completed faster. If there are strong feelings that we do both I will include the two props in the August thread as it is essentially a tie :) I had to work late last night, apologies for the…
You could simply apply the source photo to a plane, cut in the the needed topology using the Knife tool and leveraging Preserve UVs on/off ("Correct Face Atttributes" in Blender) to match details ; removing the background ; then straightening things as needed.

Thanks for the replies I was not suspecting such hasty critiques over a tree. Anyway I got the shadows casting like they should. I put a bump on everything. don't think it looks as good as normals but saves on file production. and played around a bit. The left one I doubled the number of limbs. Middle I kept roughly the…
