Publishers set the prices though, not valve, even though valve might suggest or insist smaller prices on things. Retailers wont stock a certain game if they knew a publisher was undercutting them on steam, and retail is still in a sense needed. Steam sales still beat the hell out of anything, even if prices normally are…
Hmmm... I hadn't even thought about using a particle emitter. Thanks! That's definitely something I will look into. My question was more about the actual flapping animation though. If I did use a particle system, that would presumably just be for changing the butterflies' root position/rotation. How did you bring the…
Nice work. I would also like to see more details on this macro. Also if anyone can figure out how to layout a texture like this in zbrush I'd love to hear your theories. http://www.zbrushcentral.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=171940 The 2.5 method is not perfect and the tielable plane with wrap mode will not get the…
@Earthquake: Honestly, I don't understand what we're arguing about anymore. :( We seem to agree at 99% and just bicker about details and out of context quotes. I'll just reply to this, which may be the root of our misunderstanding : For reference, I did not claim that it could not be done. I said "It's not easy because it…
I think there are only really two strong pieces here-- the giant octopus sketch and the robo-clown. The gun thumbs and the future raver girl are okay too. The rest I think are not going to help you get a job. [edit] As an image, the first one in your fine art section is kind of cool in an 80's sci-fi book cover sort of way…
Not sure if this is what you're asking about, but this is what it says in the helpfile: "There are two simple rules to follow when mirroring a character rig with bones and IK. The first is that the IK chain's Parent Space has to be set to Start Joint, not IK Goal. The second requirement is that the root of the IK chain…
Nice idea! I'd be keen to see some of this too. I would post some of mine when I used to suck, but since I still do, i figured there's little point :D While great art is very inspiring, it can get somewhat disheartening when everyone else is so incredible and their roots are not on show to find comfort in the fact that…
This was the first concept for the inside of the cave before we knew what we wanted the domes to look like. the more i look at it the more It seems that adding Roots from trees coming from the sealing and more stalactites and mites would help. But to me i feel like it would get even more repetitive..but i guess i should…
The hair needs a lot more depth too, try working in layers from dark to light, with varied opacity. The roots of hair are usually darker, and there are varying shades of brown, black and some red in a brunette's hair. Study some light and shadow on female models for reference. Have you thought about doing your own laura…
On the first impression, it looks great, you have some fantastic work going on! I can easily see this being a really strong portfolio piece. Below the surface there are a few things that need to be thought about. Even if you don't make changes to this scene, take some of this stuff into consideration with your next…
