Re: Stylized Soldier
@JLeeD Thanks for the crits! I've gone back and tried to define a lot more of the anatomy, particularly bony forms. It could probably use another pass of definition, though. @VeryCrunchyTaco Hopefully I managed to address a lot of them! Definitely trying to learn as much as possible. Not sure yet with rifle, either… -
Re: Asians and art...
Sorta related to Karls post... South Africans use the term 'coloured' to define black people that are not as dark. Its like a different classification altogether in S.A. and a 'coloured' S.A. person finds it pretty offensive if you call them black. Of course in the US and Europe that term is recognised as being racist and… -
Re: Going with the flow Sci Fi environment
The upper corners of your door look weird...the inner curved part. I kinda wanna second what Count Vader said. Designing stuff as you go is really tough...and you seem to be jumping into small details very quickly. Consider finding/creating a concept, and maybe blocking out the space and defining what your going to do… -
Re: Answered: Adding text and other symbology.
The way you're going about it is correct! :smile: There are other methods that involve using the transparency of each color to define a mask which you can use as a decal layer, but the way you're doing it is significantly faster. Use the dDo menu to Copy Layer to All Maps, and apply that layer to your… -
Re: Tribute to Pascal Blanch
I think the lower part of her rib cage isn't defined enough given the rest of her weight. The breasts need to rest ontop of it too with more of a crease under them if your going for the natural look. The muscle around her humerus to me looks too thin given the size around the forearm but that's a crit in need of further… -
Re: Designer - Random text character selection?
This sort of thing is where substance falls down. It's basically impossible to have dynamic length lists of inputs. You could certainly crop the text node output and feed the result to an fx-map based node but you'll still have to define every single possible input to that node. I expect you could use the automation… -
Re: Kartoon Soldier
<3 the concept art you did for this :) (tho i did prefer the no head version for some reason :P) looks like you're off to a good start on the hp. Folds are looking a leetle too blobby and too numerous atm i think, a few well defined major folds running down the arms would be cool. Anyways, still early so looking forward to… -
Re: how to make a chrome texture
ohh wow, so i figured it out.. now i feel like such a retard, there is a little checkbox under "basic material extensions" in the raytrace tab which allowes you to put in a opacity mask for the reflectivity.. cant believe i missed that, thansk alot for the help though, i checked out some of those shaders, pretty cool im… -
Re: Your tool of choice for AO generation?
Most definately, plus i find that its AO is fast as hell... even on a 1.2million poly model and baking to a lower res, took my amd 940quad about 3mins max i think... I also find its normal map produces really well, and fast again. I also love the ease of UV layout use within Blender vs say max etc. -
Re: **Student** Feedback please
Still got no idea where your lights are. Sorry I'm harping on this, but presentation is important, even (hell, especially) on learning projects. This also doesn't look much life your ref anymore. Feel free to move on to a different project, but maybe try to use PBR/more modern methods for something. Get a cubemap and…
