Many thanks for the replies everyone. I'll be honest and say that I did hit a bit of a wall when I 'finished' the project. The original intention was to just model the Ramen Shop itself, the main attraction being all the individual props which would hopefully let me brush up on my texture skills since their geometry is…
Difficult to crit the scene as a whole so far because I can't see anything! Get the dark areas of the environment out of the black. You never want to be completely black for large sections of your environment. Think of it this way, why go to the trouble of creating the environment if you can't see it. I know you haven't…
hey everyone my ps3 controller isn't connecting to the ps3 anymore. it connects if its plugged in but not when its not, and if i unplug it while its on it just turns itself off(the controller). has anyone else had this problem? it was working fine yesterday, i thought at first that maybe the battery was just flat but iv…
Hey guys, i have a question regarding texel density. I do undestand how texel density work with a single mesh, but i'm quite confused on how it works with two or more separated meshes. Let's say i have 3 cubes with their default texel density. If i put a 1024x1024 UV grid texture on all the cubes the result would be…
The fact that they gave you until Jan 12th is pretty nice and relaxed. This prop shouldn't take that long, so it feels like they realized you can't work on it 24/7. 10k tris shouldn't be a worry either; just gotta make things more efficiently. 10k tries for a prop like this isn't super strict. Just gotta figure out what…
Suba: Thanks! Now the idea is quite cemented, I will be cutting out the 2D stuff from my portfolio and some of the 3D assets. Ill most likely keep them somewhere else out of sight though. Most of the jobs I apply to are generalist positions. Thats partly why I have branched out to many areas. I recently started (about 3…
Wow bowled over by the genuine support and helpful crits guys I really appreciate you taking the time to take a look through the folio and give me your thoughts. I’ve more work to do it seems and grown a bit complacent without regular contact with industry types. I’ll look at ways to improve that and make more connections.…
Phaedarus: I know that some people have managed to get mocap data out of the Kinect, or other markerless mocap systems like iPi, but the quality is generally pretty bad. Gypsy Suits are slightly better and come with some benefits like not having to deal with occlusion, but they can be several thousands of dollars…
I got a bounding box problem when i use the middle mouse button to move the scene around. What happens is Im modeling lets say a head and i want to move the scene aside to see the background image, I go to press the middle mouse button and boom the model turns into a bounding box outline. I deselect my middle mouse button…
