Ok, so let me try and create a thread here, since pretty much everywhere the response has been lukewarm at best. Sooo ... this is my motorcycle that I'm building a 3D model of. Been in the works for a very long time, since it's a totally crazy thing to attempt to model. Inspired by David Finlay's MC:LA bikes I wanted…
I would have to agree, but only up to a point. I have a 40 year old motorcycle that has never been in a garage and it's cleaner than most of the hard surface texture I see here. I actually even clean it once a year. I'm not saying worn textures are a bad thing.It just seems that it's going overboard sometimes. I actually…
i had a look through this hells angels one a while back and it was fantastic. loads of really interesting faces and characters inside. this thread just reminded me to buy it [ame]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hells-Angels-Motorcycle-Andrew-Shaylor/dp/1858942438/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1278859704&sr=1-2[/ame] does anyone…
hehe ... weird ... or not so weird. I can tell you from expierence that in stress situations people just basically block out. The react overcalm. When I did my social service at the abulance we had a guy that crashed with his motorcycle. He was basically lightly wounded but he was sitting on his motorbike that was loosing…
How to make sfx whoosh First, I gathered the sounds of cars, motorcycles and trains. Based on these sounds, I'm making whoosh with waves doppler and sound morph wave warper. Among them, those with distinctive sounds are below. * In the scene where rakan rotates, I use the rotary sound of yo. * Zed's black aura sound uses…
Things are busy at the old fort as I move to a new one, but I thought I had time to throw together a nice motorcycle model before I packed my machines. Thing is I always seem to have problems with the pipes, I'm stuck between making them look good(or making them at all) and making them not take up the whole budget on a…
Which ones? I can draw, but drawing women is still pretty hard for me, so what you see here is the result of referencing many images found across the internet. When I have the body where I want it, the face is going to be tweaked to look somewhat like Halle Berry. When the model's body is complete, she'll be textured and…
I would suggest to maybe buy or borrow a motorcycle helmet to see how padding works in there. Prosthetic masks (flexible) sure need to be created on top of an accurate plaster cast of the person receiving the makeup, but hard surface helmets are a different deal altogether ... Another good reference to look at would be…
areve> Looks promising. I like the head in particular from what I can tell in the image. Not sure what type of jacket you are going for. But if it's more of your common motorcycle jacket I'd give it some more spec/reflections. Like these http://www.flickr.com/photos/dragonflyvintage/2629619293/…
You've got a wide variety of abilities, and you're sure to get better and better. If you're just starting in 3d, props. Your character topology and everything looks nice. Also digging all your more recent grayscales. I think your city piece with the jets and motorcycle would be really strong if you lowered the vanishing…
