Agreed, seems like the last time I felt a proper performance boost was when going from Core2 to i7. But with GPU upgrades I certainly do notice something like a 40% boost. Oh well, I wasn't comfortable with running an 8-year old as my daily driver anymore so I'm not too fussed. Not exactly a necessary upgrade though. What…
So are you here now? Or did you already return? You should check out downtown Detroit. Especially around Comerica Park, or the old train station. The Spirit of Detroit is pretty cool too. Once you get downtown, you can also see across the river, to Windsor. And yeah, I've barely visited the Ann Arbor area, so I'm not…
Thank you, your feedback means a lot to me. The reference I have been using for the face was the actor Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister from Game of Thrones), I didn't try to exactly emulate his face but it was used as heavy inspiration. The suggestion of layers is great too, I've just looked into them and they will make…
Woah, cool!! Definitely a beautiful scene. The object in the foreground of the last picture looks a little too perfect. For such an old item, I feel it shouldn't have such sharp edges. I also note how much moss or vegetation is hanging off the main structure, but the (stone?) ground is far too clean and unbroken. Regarding…
A few Marmoset renders... Hi Guys, I needed to try out a new boolean workflow and get to grips with Substance Painter properly. I felt a gun would be a good candidate for my portfolio as my old one was non-PBR and looked a bit obsolete! I found a suitable candidate on Instagram. A customized AR15. I wasn't aiming to…
Difficult to articulate exactly what it is unfortunately, but something about the face makes her look rather old. Late 40's, at least. I don't know if that was your intention, it certainly isn't the usual interpretation. My best guess is that it's being caused by the prominence of the cheekbones and brow, combined with the…
Hey, Don't have much time so I do it short Youre on a good path but its the typical issues everyone has, the only thing unusual is the topology is sometimes not closed but you run some unneccessary loops all around instead of closing to a triangle Otherwise: - You need to continue and just do more things - Remember to…
I've tried to bake lightmap for my landscape (landscape tool, not the old one) in UDK, and I've set the lightmap res to 16 and UDK crashed at around 90% of the baking process because of memory issues. I have 4gb from them. I know it isn't too much but the landscape size was 512 which also isn't too much. First question, is…
Okey, this might seem harsh, but I'm just being honest and I am trying to help. This looks shoddy, like something that was thrown together by a ten-year old in paint. If you are a ten-year old paint user, the crits still apply. You really need to learn some fundemental aspects of pixel-art. Making a good palette ramp is…
I apologize in advance as this will be lengthy, please note that my goal is to help you get a better understanding on where you could improve and how. I'm going to break it down first as what areas need work and then go into detail exactly why these things are bad or good -Highpoly/anatomy -Lowpoly -UVs -Texture HIGHPOLY…
