Yeah to me it your model looks like it has been used a fair bit, but not in use right this moment. If I was in your position I wouldn't add too much dirt. As for crits, it may be just the perpective of the render, but those two box like indents, at the front, look a bit strange to me. Also the window frames are a bit dark.…
Hi! Thanks! :) I still need to work a little bit more on the shape, but I'm trying to be as accurate to the original one as possible. It's a sword intended to be held only with one hand, despite the size/length. I don't have too many references though, but I'm mainly checking these two images: Hope it gives you some info…
agree with snake. The entire ship is old & rusty, but it's the same complaint I have with a lot of attempts at making things old and rusty. It's too uniform! Paint it, and then chip paint off of certain areas, add blast marks and other key interest spots. At the moment, when I look at it my eye doesn't know where to go or…
Earthquake - wow crazybump make that big of an impact for you? I've looked at it, thought about buying it. I really lack the budget for it and wasn't too sure how much more it could offer over everything else I use. DirectFolders I'm not familiar with. I'll have to check it out. You know I had two monitors for like 2 days,…
Hey that wasn't too bad at all, and it works great! My first maxscript, here it is if anyone else finds this useful. Assign it to a keyboard key, and you can cycle through move/rotate/scale with a single key. I like it for my Spacepilot because I can rest my finger on a single button and get to any transform tool with one…
Damn, Makkon you're awesome. Feanix: I'd seriously consider incorporating Makkon design into this if it doesn't clash too much with your GF's work. The silouette looks way more "otterish" at a distance, while yours at the moment looks a little like a cat, at least until you get closer to it. Two different stylizations on…
ooo my first post I have this book - it's got lots of pics of Capcom character illustrations http://www.ncsx.com/www/capcomil.htm This one is nice too - http://www.toysnjoys.com/artbooks/snk.jpg This book is not game related, but Michael Whelan is one of my favorite artists of all time…
Problem with Maya is that if you really want the best out of it you need to put in the hours. I think the worst thing you can do is go "Max does it this way, why doesn't Maya have the exact same tool?" because really, they both are very different programs. It's been said many times before. I'd avoid using switching tools…
Aye. Z2 was shocking stable I found. In the two years I've had it, it's only crashed a handful of times, and usually when I was pushing it pretty far. Z3.....not the same storey. I crashed it about 10 times in 5 minutes just trying to blur a mask on a model. And there have been other crashes for other things too. It's…
i used to drink about two to three liters of coke a day, and stopped because i wanted to break the caffiene addiction. whenever i went an few hours without coke i would get a very bad headache, so i just went through the withdrawal for like four days and felt very very good afterwards. i have it on occasion if i order…
