I made a dragon sculpt and I am now trying to make a retopo of it, intended for animation down the line. However while I made a lot of sculpts and still models, I do not have a lot of experience with medium poly character models. I of course watched a lot of tutorials, but I have a lot of questions and desire for feedback…
Appreciate the replies. I think maybe what I'm missing is the jaw muscles. I also think the start of the neck (erm, body?) is too far away from the end of the mouth, looking at refs the mouth almost hinges right at that point. The piece itself is much more square than this however. He also seems to be a bit lumpy at the…
I've been playing it way too much since Monday night when it came out. Got 85 last night though so hopefully it won't suck up too much of my time now. Kind of disappointed that it only took a few days to get to 85 when they said it would take about as long as it did to go from 70-80 which took me at least a week. I'm very…
my system: • (CPU1) Intel® Core™ i7-2600K CPU @ 4.8Ghz (ASUSTeK Computer INC. SABERTOOTH P67 mainboard) (RAM) 8GB @1866Mhz, 5.75GB free (HDDs) 931GB, 729GB free • (VGA1) AMD Radeon HD 6900 Series (-2GB), (OS) Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate (SP1) 64-bit i saved money on the card by going for an xfx 6950, and swapping the bios…
Thanks for your feed back guys. This is hardly a complete step by step, but I was just trying to get the jist of the process since I am pretty new to UDK my self. My advice is to read and view as much tutorials as possible. The only way to really know a software package is to get your hands dirty. I learned a lot about the…
Definitely going to want to check out that link above for normal map stuff ^ As far as the diffuse texture itself goes, it looks good as a base right now. To add to it, you would want a nice build up of grime. Don't be afraid to get that bottom part really grimy and filled with soot. There should be, in almost a gradient…
If you have limited desk space, 2 Dell 23"s might be a good idea, they're pretty cheap and you can regularly get them around $230 each. Good quality e-IPS panel, not super high end but much much better than the crappy TN panels you'll get in pretty much anything cheaper. Only 1920x1080 not *1200 though. My wife has one of…
I think a lot of that could be said of a lot of Western studios as well, though. Personally I prefer Japanese games over Western games simply because Japanese developers seem to experiment more. While experimenting can frequently lead to some shitty games (FF13, 13-2. and 13-3, for example) it can also lead to games that…
The site's got mainstream. you arent entitled to visibility, and practically you can't have it when there's both massive quantity, and extremely high quality stuff floating around. whether it's AAA art dumps timed so all involved get exposure at the same time, or tits because most of its users are straight men and like…
Hiya, the shipping container looks good. To take it to the next level I would suggest adding a few dings and some dirt. Here's a great reference for ya. This I think has the perfect level of detail for an IOS environment. As for the minotaur, I'd really suggest getting a 3 quarters view of your character and get rid of…
