Currently working on building a fantasy castle scene, with some Scottish influences. First overall shot, blocking out the general shape of the castle in Unreal in comparison to the terrain that I generated using World Machine. I tried applying some textures to the blocks, but the cylinders wanted nothing to do with it. The…
Well my plan to keep this updated as a way to motivate myself didn't work did it :( The Ludus has been abandoned because I just can't get the terrain right, I've tried using CryEngine terrain, terrain with geometry parts and now purely geometry and I'm still not happy with it. If anyone has any suggestions on that it would…
Hey Bardler, Thanks for the feedback, I agree, I really cannot seem to figure out how to make them more rocky while keeping more of an anatomical approach of things. You got any tips for that? I'll do a few changes later on and post a comparison shot on the changes and hope to get feedback on that on a few things I could…
@Firith Thanks! That's awesome reference and kinda hammered home to me that I need to do some more design work before I keep sculpting. Part of the problem was that I hadn't really decided on the cut of the pants, which was stupid. I've gathered a ton more reference and I am going to push forward with something similar to…
OA was going to be that and a bag of chips, but a lack of concrete direciton turned that into a mess. Programming wasn't an issue as it was literally new original data for a just-open-sourced polycounter's favorite game and I figured that would be a win-win. In the end, polycounter involvement was weapon icons, some weapon…
Anatomy is important to structure a level of believability by your audience in games movies etc. Take for example the cave troll in Lord of the Rings: Fellowship. While it is a completely make believe creature many of it's forms are grounded in basic anatomy and muscle understanding. So if you go and rewatch that scene in…
Wow! Thanks a ton for the advice! My intentions here are strictly to show a high level (hopefully) of modeling and texturing skillset. This IS a model.. however.. I believe it is a conceptual model that was painted over in photoshop. (I could be mistaken) I realize the design is very scifi and fantasy at best.. probably…
Moz: i would tend to agree with you, as stated before i'm very much a fan of 'new school' zombies... but you really can't get on Romero's case for doing what he wants to do. much as Tolkien more or less defined modern fantasy, Romero basically created the zombie genre and he can do with it what he pleases. as Neo God…
Daz: watching the videos linked on that page is shocking. This is America at it's worst. This is our nation for the world to see. This time without another country to blame. Racial equality, ruined. The FEMA, useless. Those in its path are asking for help that isn't arriving. Meanwhile, Bush is rejecting any international…
He does indeed have a back story! His name is Rhien. He is the son of a king who's throne was usurped, and was therefore born in exile. His mother was half Elven, and was killed when he was five. His father disguised himself as a blacksmith, and brought his son up to follow in his footsteps, however he was soon consumed by…
