I probably won't make it in time, I haven't worked on this piece in quite some time. So much that I in fact forgot how I did the lighting in the previous version, so this one looks just muddy compared to it. Regarding pose, I intended this one to be the chosen one, as he is in the middle of his frenzied demonstration. It…
Love the model!Good Job! But as Lukitscherie said the textures are pushing you away from the toonish mood ,maybe it's intended,but you might try and hand paint the bricks(like you did with the wood textures) that would help get you back in the toonish vibe. But the thing that I find quite odd is the man siting on the table…
I don't really agree with this. 3ds max is certainly full of automations, from high level functions like bend and twist and subdivision to the basic thing it does, Automating The Creation Of Files That Describe A 3D Volume so you don't have to write that data out by hand. Artists should embrace automation if they intend to…
That's actually a really good point achillesian. There would be a lot of stretching. I don't intend to pose him though. This dude is mainly for practice. I, regretfully, didn't fiddle any with asymmetry and gave the man-bat a mirrored UV. With other models in the future I'll make sure to break up the symmetry more. This…
This is way better/more believable, at ths point. Digging the progress. Major issues: Why is there an ejection port way above the barrel? needs to be in line with it to eject the ammo properly. Could be on top. Also, if this gun is not intended to be concealable, light, and manageable, it isn't a pistol as we know them...…
Cheers for your quick reply [FONT="]Macattackk, and I completely agree with you the poly count for the flatbed piece, it is a rather large model the wheels are intended to be the size of a full grown adult. The original brief for that model specified for such a lard poly count but optimisation will be applied to the…
I do wish they'd strip down Premiere and make it harder to lose quality along the way. We should be abandoning all those obscure TV formats and stuff now... Firstly, in the Media Encoder, check that the area selected in the video preview fills the whole thing. Also check that the "level" is set as high as it goes. (not…
I based the model on a very old drawing, and i'll see if I can find it and get it scanned in later. Other than that, i'm kind of going in the direction of a simple Rhino-like creature. I'm thinking of making a newer, more "focused" concept sketch, since the original concept was never really intended to be used for…
Thanks for the comments. Yeah concerning the image posting I did realize after writing the post that it was not working as I intended. I will use the methods you guys mentioned. @fatalfrost thanks for the comments. I do need to work on the textures more even though my reference was kinda of a clean setup (took the screen…
Did you guys actually read the question? No offence intended btw. and i didn't watch the video so apologies if it soles the actual problem. he's getting a black background colour on AO bakes when he is baking multiple objects despite setting the background colour to something else (ill assume white). I've seen this under…
