I guess the question comes down to if I want to animate the pistons. If I don't then it can be one piece. The pistons on the side can be incorporated into the calf piece at that point and streamlined. Hmmmm problem solving, I'll concept up some alternate "mechanical" builds to the foot and calf. I'll pull the current work…
If you created the auto-rigging tool, absolutely show it! It shows what you can do. What you can create. If you didnt create the auto-rigger, I personally wouldnt put it on, because that absolutely is cheating if you`re going for a rigger position. The only exception is if you are showing off the weighting you did, in…
There are quite a few tricks you could use to do something like that. One option is to use turbo smooth, and tick "smoothing groups". this will create a hard edge there (if you set separate smoothing groups, then add another turbosmooth ontop without smoothing groups ticked and it will smooth nicely. Alternatively you…
I work at a call center currently so thats my 8 hours right there I come home watch movie or two with my girl. She has the same days off as me as well. Then I wake up and from 10am-2:30pm I am doing 3d get ready for work at 2:30. So I can only dedicate about 4 and half hours a day to 3d on the days me and my girl have off…
I think the dimensions of the room are off. The cabinet in back left corner doesn't come close to covering up the window but in the ref it does. The camera seems to be pulled back pretty far too. Both of those things are changing the composition of the room. There is a lot of empty space in the middle of the room that just…
This thread is far too self serving. I'm actually shocked as to how rude people are... or want to be. What does it matter to any of you how much someone else slacks off? They are the ones that will sink into debt without any means of getting out of it. They are also the people who will, most likely, talk down on the…
Yeah the prop/engine size has been debated for a while. I think the only reason I had stayed on the smaller scale was because the craft was meant to be lighter so the engine was a bit smaller as well. I think a combination of making the rear hull's edge come directly up to the engine will help. Also scaling the engine and…
That's cool that you are coming up with ideas for your environment to give it a sense of story or history. I'd give some advice but I don't have much experience with environments honestly. I've been interested in coming up with a sleep schedule to maximize the amount of waking hours each day for a while but I haven't…
@Jessica Dinh: I will post a bunch of reference images when I get home from class, the images are mostly inspiration, I'm not really designing straight from a scene or background. @nathanbarrett Thanks dude! And I'll try not to repeat what the show did for this scene lol @zakhar2 Yeah, now that I look at it, it kinda does…
I'm on a 3D animation modeling program, and because I'm someone who's from a painting and illustration background, I didn't even know what edge loop is at first. Because of that I spend almost 12 hours Monday to Saturday sitting, mostly at the same desk, either in lectures or trying to catch up to the average class…
