hrmmm, I watched it and Im having a hard time phrasing my critiques of it. The biggest problem with it is that nothing was really particularly impressive. The majority of the reel showed of modeling, while solid, was also pretty simple. The textures were fairly bland and uninteresting. Its not that you did a bad job on…
Maybe you could post some of those shots from the site with your post? And let's see some bigger versions of the latest build! First of all I'd like to say that it looks to be developing nicely. It looks like you've done some tweaks to the rendering/lighting levels, because the November 05 shots look good... is that some…
Hi 3DLee, Its a cool start and is a nice environment to put in your portfolio but i think there are still definately areas you can improve on. - You have a lot of edge transitions where two objects meet which stand out. For example where the house hits the ground the concrete at the bottom would be darker and maybe…
Hey there again TeeJay. Again, don't feel bad about it - you just need to identify what makes a good landscape painting. (I personally don't do many of these hence I am no expert on the subject - but still, there are some general advice worth sharing). First, you need to find a starting point. You might have seen videos of…
Hi there @ WipeEout: Alpha testing is mandatory, Maya doesn't support sorting of transparent object. It's been discussed here already: I could activate alpha blending in a separate technique but you would need to split the mesh down so that the sorting is properly done per object. Sorry for the lack of support these days,…
A few pointers: Lets take your mushroom treant for example. That isn't a concept, that's an idea. It's you going "Mushrooms grow on trees, lets make a mushroom treant" and drawing some mushrooms over a concept sheet of treant. Ideas as such are pretty much useless, because EVERYBODY has ideas. What sets a concept apart…
I saw it yesterday and I'm mixed on it. I'll start by admitting that I know it was rated PG-13, but I figured it was because of the violence and maybe some swearing. They did realize kids would want to see this movie, right? But then the movie theater decides to run the trailers for Chuck and Larry, so my 10 year old is…
Hey guys, I've not had much of a chance to continue work on this scene recently, looking for a new job has thrown a spanner into the works. Thank you very much for all of you're responses and hopefully I can start posting some more substantial updates soon. @Aboulicious Yeah that picture is great reference, especially with…
Vig, thanks for the crits man! I enjoyed your crit, you gave me some things to think about! I won't repond to everything, but I'll definitely look into improving areas. I do agree some dirt maps could help break up the ground (add some slimy areas, and puddles). Here's a shot of the texture around the top area. It's…
The creak of the old door opening breaks the silence. It’s about as beaten down as the man opening it. The hunter lays down his weapons on the nearby table. He never keeps them too far away from him. “Another day, another dead end. One of these pathetic creatures has to eventually have some information that I need.…
