I used a cutting surface (any art store will carry them, a nice smooth piece of thick cardboard) and [ame=http://www.amazon.com/JVCC-ART-11-Artist-Board-Console/dp/B000QDIUEO/ref=sr_1_5?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1339912057&sr=1-5&keywords=artists+masking+tape]masking tape[/ame] to stick my drawings onto the surface. it…
Pulling this thing out from the depths of forum hell. *dumpdumpdump* Finally got around to finishing the textures on the fairy. Female head. She's got some morph targets for lipsyncing and putting into silly poses. Final project for school. The litter collecting robot mistakes the girl's stuffed animal for trash and tries…
What exactly is wrong with him using photo sources ? It's a major part of the job these days and a huge time saver if you learn to do it properly. If he used that source you posted, then good job on mixing it. As far as the barrel texture goes, it's overkill, too many shadows and noise. Makes it hard to read. In most cases…
thanks for the feedback :) I looked over the refs for the modelling but kind of forget them a bit when texturing, looking at them I can see the metal looks a lot different to how I made it, so thats something to work on, personally I think it needs a bit more grain and a few nicks here and there, I was looking for some…
It might be better to approach this with a shader particle combination. If are able to put some particle emitters throughout the model and then mix it with a shader effect and if everything is black, and unshaded, it should all blend together into a shadow looking thing. The additional advantage to this approach is that…
I got few crits if you do not mind- 1) You need to arrange the Sci-fi scenes together and the 'Middle Eastern/Realistic' scenes together. 2) Put your website address on your images, the name and the title aren't just enough. Especially if others try to google, it is too much of a hastle and they will not necessarily find…
Hey man, few crits on the fire hydrant. you mention that its rusty, rusty means water mixed with oxygen which also means it has been used, so include more water damage. http://farm1.static.flickr.com/8/6381524_23b8856422.jpg?v=0 http://www.viewsfrommyviewfinder.com/images/2008/08/31/100_0990_edited.jpg And as for the…
Actually the smoke screen defense system against beam weaponry is a great idea and totally plausible. You don't need metal fragments. Any reflective substance would do. Lunar dust, crushed gypsum, or even beach sand would be fine. Controlling the density and spread of the field is a function of emission angle and speed.…
I guess this governor guy hasn't heard that burning oil makes pollution, and pollution screws up the climate, which then creates Category 5 hurricanes that permanently damage ancient and historic coastal cities. Oh well. I think there are probably reasons that coal liquefaction didn't take off as a technology right after…
Thank you guys for your support. It's funny to look at where this started out because it looks so different. The way I was going with color choices looks abit clownish now. Glad I followed what people said and re-worked this. Anyways, new texture stuff... I also took off the texture filters for now because it helps me…
