I think it looks a bit too crowded, maybe just the shape of the room... General wear/tear level of the textures don't match with that of the sofa. Also I would use a horizontal element which separates the pipes(EDIT: or bars?) and the wall like the red one below: EDIT: and maybe too many lights? I agree it looks good but…
Thanks all for the feedback. I have made my sofa a bit more shiny, but haven't changed my smaller chairs yet. Tried messing around the the lighting again but cant seem to get something I'm happy with. Done a few more models like the large cabinets and desk. Also had a quick go at the screen, but its way to bright atm. Here…
Here's a pic of one of those chairs, except mine is dark green (couldn't get a decent photo of mine). They're made by a company called Scansit I believe. Being foam all the way through they are deceptively comfortable, the just have a thin metal frame inside. Every other chair I sat in, and in fact all the sofa's in the…
I have three things on a custom marking menu that I use often: Set Soft, Set Hard, Set Angle (at 32 degrees). Been meaning to write a fourth for face selections for a long time, but never found it that important to do. (it would make interior edges soft and the border hard). It's not as immediate as it might be in max, but…
it looks like you need only a round brush with hard edge and one with soft edge. first i would draw the white form of the cloud, then add light blue half circles with the soft edged brush in the lower area of the cloud (big brush is better). Better to use a mask for the white cloud, so you can't go over the edge with the…
Well, the high poly is just too sketchy for a clean bake, but I learned some things about TOPOGUN, which is a pretty cool software. I want to get into the sci-fi hard surface stuff but getting such clean models is beyond my skill level, and I use so many soft surface tools like zbrush as a crutch :( since so much of soft…
if you want to try something else why dont you do what Clusterone was suggesting and start out with something smaller than an entire scene or building eg a door or a window or a sofa etc? its much less time consuming and teaches you valuable skills and when its done you have something that you can be proud of and that may…
It'd be great for browsing the web on the sofa, lighter than a laptop. However there is no killer feature so far that would make me consider it, especially at that price point. Perhaps in a few years when the next one comes out with a solar screen that charges the device when not in use, that can magically fold up into…
Been at at my parents for Christmas, so I took my new Surface Pro to keep up with my art. Trying to do more random doodles, which the Surface is great for! My mum fell asleep on the sofa, and the dog has been miserable the whole week so I doodled them both. Below that is a Ratchet doodle from Inktober. I have a few…
Yes you can, but that's not what an iPad is for. Since we got the iPad it has replaced the laptop almost totally. The iPad is a perfect sofa companion, vastly more so than a laptop. I've not used any other tablet, but I suspect that owners of them would say the same thing. I've even considered buying one of the cheap 150…
