your renders could use some work. especially the prop/weapon ones. The prop itself might not be bad but the crappiness of the render isnt doing you any favors. Its not 2002 anymore, get some lens flare up in there edit: but dont go offline.. if youre looking to get in to the game industry your renders should be real-time…
Thank you guys so much for these awesome crits and tips! You've given a goldmine of info that I can reference for this prop as well as future hand painted props. I greatly appreciate it. :D Here's some corrections to the geometry: @Gorman: What exactly do you mean by "bulk it out?" Make the guard and the blade more…
Damn theres a shit load of AI San Diego kids on here. Good to see. Same question as Tyler who is teaching that class? 2 props for the whole quarter? Is that right? Damn they better be bad ass props then. Wow. My comments pretty much echo what everyone else has mentioned. Ditch the flash. Bigger images. Cleaner layout. Keep…

Did you see the metal hoops in the link I posted earlier? THIS is how you make a good barrel prop. http://polycount.com/discussion/183292/viking-props-marmoset-toolbag-3 As for the normal map errors, this thread should help: http://polycount.com/discussion/147227/skew-you-buddy-making-sense-of-skewed-normal-map-details/p1
UPDATE 01 This morning I have worked on the my pipeline process and i have established my milestone, for the moment i have to finish all the modelling and unwrapping in two week. And This afternoon i have made the blockout and started to create the props and check the scale on unreal engine. You can see some screen of the…
Thanks for the feedback!, yeah you're right, I've just been doing prop after prop and threw it into the engine one after another, with no real "masterplan" in mind. But now that I already have a bunch of content I also feel that it's time for a more solid layout and composition. For some I did a ZBrush sculpt, for some…
Thanks guys! I'm pretty much done with a first pass of this prop. I'm not sure it's dirty enough, but it's an indoor prop so it really shouldn't get that bad, I don't think. Once I've figured out the optimal level of grime for the whole level I'm going to come back to this. I'm also not sure if I want to keep the…
Block out your environment. Have some really simple placeholder meshes, possibly with a quick n dirty texture(heck just vertex color might be nice), before you go and make finished props. Not that your props are bad or anything (though pretty bland so far) but blocking in things will help you prioritize and create order in…
very helpful zacD haha. Looks great Diwan. I think it looks just like the reference you've used, so im not sure i have much of a critique. That's the beauty of modeling existing props ;) if it looks like prop then it's good hah. I'll have more critiques when you get into baking/lowpoly/texturing. Love where it's going for…
