Hi! Nice model overall :+1: Looking closer, I think mainly the shading/ surface-describtion could be improved, as currently everything looks a bit evenly matte. For example some higher glossiness and subsurface scattering on skin and teeth. Skin could have some more pronounced color zones. Hair would benefit from some…
Yeah I think most of the guys here have really stated some awesome and very valid arguments against your case and that isn't being said to be rude. Our industry is highly competitive and while there may be schools pumping out students with degrees 9 times out of 10 those students think that is enough. The few that really…
Use morph targets for the kite, to flatten it and inflate it. If you need more control over it you could add a FFD box modifier to it and animate the lattice points. If you want to ripple it you could add noise or ripple before adding FFD. Is the person going to be twisting independently from the kite and you need the…
Goal To improve my understanding of non-destructive game asset optimization and topology, I'm modeling a pistol with the intent to work effectively in VR. I like this as a stress test of my current skills, as guns are perhaps the most crucial asset in a visually appealing shooter. VR is notorious for it demanding…
Hey! First of all, even experienced animators use tons of references. That's a thing you're going to do and that's never going to go away! If you analyze what drives the movement in your references, your understanding of body mechanics will improve and it's probably going to feel more like you're doing your own work and…
[quote]i don't want to have wasted all my time learning 3D and then not even be able to land a job[/quote] I am really lucky. I enjoy making characters from scratch and taking them from a sketch to walking around in an engine. Once you have done that, there is no looking back, nothing beats that feeling! Going through…
MM, the beauty of being invited to speak in front of students or fellow industry members is in that you're asked to provide your point of you on things. The only person here pretending to possess ultimate knowledge on the subject is you right now. Which is neither professional nor polite. I hope you do realize that every…
[ QUOTE ] It's funny to see how some of you discuss TRANSFORMERS as if it should be some heavy-handed Shakespearean drama. [/ QUOTE ] If you think any of this is bad, you should see the boards I hang out at. Some of them were trying to make an argument on how TFs had a larger impact on society than Star Wars. I mean, come…
@Budd Nice pattern! It really stands out and I could see it in the middle of a hotel lobby or something. If I could say anything about the border, the details on it might be a bit too small in relation to the rest of the pattern/graphic, if you know what I mean. @Soph=) Thanks, you're absolutely right. I was going a bit…
