I would think it's a lot more work to clean house and just give the ip to a studio that has no experience with it. Why spend time hoping another studio will get the game right when they can just keep the current devs?
Relaxed 45 deg angle for arms, sculpting rigging. Arms at tee for export to motionbuilder for animation. The tee is an unnatural position when they will be mostly down. I dont think that matters much if you use a muscle system but I dont.
Wow! Great thread, surprisingly still hard to find dev documentation devoted to mobile, very interesting! Will be following closely. Am also fellow Torontonian working in Mobile games ;) PM me if I can add you to facebook :)
@TudorMorris Thanks for the breakdown! would never have guessed the biro hehe here's my fat teddy. got myself a white posca to help with dem highlights and tried watercolors for the second time in my life.. not as bad as the first time!
If you're really trying to get away from game dev, just do some good ol' drawing :) Life studies are always helpful for artists. If you already have a tablet, there's quite a few sketching apps on Android and iOS.
I really like how this is looking, def going to subscribe to this thread. I think the rib area needs some more definition like the rest of the body has, it should also lend to the slightly sltylised look you're going for.
WoW, i was totally unaware that people wanted this tutorial. If it pleases the court i may just remake it for you guys in High Def and host it on youtube, and possibly make it a bit cleaner and quicker. Until then, the old vids will have to do.
Real update finally. Using the G.I beta in UE4. Two sided foliage shader in 4.7 preview. Current grass wip. Still needs a lot adjusted and re-done. Weeds (everything hand modeled and baked for dem normalz).
increasing the sub d levels def made the image a lot better, but that weird banding still exits. I ended up painting over it for now, but I'd still like to figure out what is causing it Thanks all for the help!
Disagree. We'll have some cool stuff to show at GDC: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Deus-Ex-Universe-Includes-AMD-TressFX-3-0-Hair-Solution-Will-Detail-It-at-GDC-2015-in-March-472661.shtml /shameless plug
