Amazing work! How long did it took you to take the initial concept to the final render? I'm very interested in knowing how to to design hard-surface assets. How did your learn to create your own concepts?
Here's the initial shape of the Mercurial Blade, longsword. Why longsword? It's very popular (and still popular, after taking time to google what is the most favorite knight weapon) and also because beginning knights start with the ability to use longswords.
The baking took me way longer than the initial modeling. Note that I dropped the small wires on the bottom part and that I will likely either 1) lose the big cylinder in the center or 2) place it further outside to surround more.
Hmm yeah that is weird. It looks like you're using the initial 3.00 release, can you update to 3.02 and see if that fixes it? If you haven't gotten an update prompt, you can download the latest from: https://www.marmoset.co/toolbag/
@cryid Ah, I see, unfortunately I have several subd's and I kinda need them :P @Gestalt I initially tried that but extruding out fingers but when I hit GoZ it just made a new tool.
Damn, haven't thought of that haha. Will be fixed soon! :) I should mention that the initial idea for the scene came from that concept art right here, but I might go in a slightly different direction with the scene: The concept artist is Pascal Casolari.
heh, assuming you're talking about what I posted, with the initial mesh it was supposed to be his horns sticking through the hair, not that the hair is growing out of the horns. If I go forward with the hair I'll try and make it more apparent.
Thanks neil, I will revise the roof a bit, it is a bit too clean... The colour was the main appeal initially. Todays update, bed time now! :) Still many things I wish to change, it needs more story and thought put into it.
Really nice work so far. Not much else to say yet. I dig your initial concept, and all of your drawings too. I like the approach, and it may be something I start doing for my own work.
settlers of catan is another brand, i guess the initial settlers was based on catan, but looking at the new trailer i assume it is closer to catan now, at least if they really want to do something board game lik, but i can't say
