Ahh xNormal, I agree with Fletch it could be your distance is cranked. If you where baking in max I would say use a projection cage, click reset and push it out just enough so that everything is inside. To see the problem you're more than likely having if you continued to crank it up higher the cage would start…
Progress Update: Hey everyone back on the wagon modeling my helicopter as I continue to look for work, currently testing my luck at Dice and trying to get the helicopter done by end of month but not rushing it. Started working on the exhaust frame and connected the tail-wings in place; the next couple of days I will be…
In part yes, I've read former / current students' thoughts on the program. Not dismissing those who were unable to finish, but more into the idea that they're not going to keep stragglers afloat just to keep forking over money. I've been with students who weren't cut out for it, and despite teachers wanting to fail them…
Agreed with the previous comments, all you need is reflections! Look at you reference picture you can literally see the reflection of the mountains on the ice. Furthermore, if it isn't making your material too complex I would add some large scale cracks that run continuously through the surface, that should help breaking…
Paradox : You are absolutely right. To be honest I shouldn't have lazed out on my rig and used an old one. Didn't even saw the horribly distorted finger. I will nevertheless use this posing to continue my texture, and certainly redo the rig and skin when it'll be final. I agree with the cloth on the front. I'm wondering if…
The "wave thingy" that goes around his side looks more like a mask so I think it should continue around his entire head like a mask, rather then just the cheek bones.The cheeks should be a bit smaller I think. The eye brows could use some bevel. That's all I got, other then that it is very nice so far looking forward to…
Thanks a lot, Enalya. Your continued support in this thread has really helped me :) Hey Bejibo! You mean scaling down the water bucket? If thats it, then I agree, it would look cuter. As for the fingers, he is already doing that :) Perhaps I should twist the arm or tweak the camera, so that is more visible. Thanks for…
Sew them in, primarily for skinning / animation reasons. The underlying topology of the body doesn't currently match the spine topo very closely. During animation, you'll be hard-pressed not to create little gaps or intersections with the spine. Having it as continuous topology will also help you bake out cleaner normal,…
Games, movie and many other forms of entertainment have and continue to inspire people and at times, give them hope. I know they did for me when I was a kid (and more). If you can make something or be a part of a project/game that will bring someone joy, allow them to escape a tough environment (even momentarily) and maybe…
ANYWAY, this is deraling the thread. Zynga people, especially if this was your first game industry job, don't let the doom & gloomers get you down because the confidence hit can affect your job search - mobile continues to grow and you've got skills that fit, go out there and kick some ass! KI is looking for a flash…
