@alytlebird Good point on the empty area thanks! I did decide to move the back wall in closer to the scene and it helped a fair bit. I think your area is coming along quite well, can't really crit anything yet. Got the billiard table and couch done so far, just blocking the macro details. Materials aren't final, I don't…
Good start! I think the thing that stood out the most to me was the end where he pops back on screen. Because of his character, I think it would be better if only his body came back on screen, and his feet stayed off screen. It's not realistic in terms of balance, but for a comic character that constantly talks to the…
For the fur I really wouldn't bother even thinking about hair cards, especially if you want to go a little stylized look. Looking at Witcher 3's fiend, griffin and wolves you get an idea how far they went to avoid doing fur when it was short. Especially with the 2 monsters you would rather expect them to have short fur…
@poopipe I apologize if I have wrongly stated what I had in mind. Of course there are a lot of factors to consider in order to actually cross the uncanny valley, and microdetailed skin is one of those. How am I proposing to place the detail maps so they look good? Well, the reason I started this thread is…
Ah, thanks for the clarification Bellsey. I agree and I think the market has changed since then, with more development being done outside of the "Big" studios. Consumers do like that middle ground though, a mid range so to speak as far as apps go. It doesnt seem that far fetched that accessible pricing and quality upgrades…
I didn't mean to turn this into a Republican vs Democrat discussion, but it's hard to avoid in a political thread. I don't think it's as simple as blaming one party for all of the country's problems. What I do think is that the ultra-conservative ideologues who have taken over the Republican party (since Reagan's…
The building and well are nicely done, but your over all environment is letting the scene down. - Your going for an industrial age england feel right? Well the one thing that sells industrial England to me is smog, smoke stacks and generally stark shadows and darker colours. Your scene though is saying the opposite, you've…
I revisited the antique flintlock gun and pimped it out with what i learned doing the chair and the vespa. Also tried a new render set up. I kinda like it. :) There are still some things i need to adjust. Any feed back is welcome! :D reference By the way, some peeps ask me how i wrap stuff around the surface. If i model…
We use bones at work. WE have a very nice face rig. check out Jason Osipa's book, stop staring as a good starting place. There are lots of books out there for creating face bone rigs. Another one i think is called character creation in maya. The modeling portion is ass,but the face rig is pretty nice. Our engine has a bone…
