I don't understand what your end goal is. Is it for a game? Is the penis required? Can it be detached? Etc. If you're making 'certain movements' in the pants, then you most likely will have to add extra bones to your rig so you can get the penis on a handle and move it around, you might also want set up some morph targets…
Yeah absolutely, I wasn't suggesting the raw method would be equal in quality by any means, though I think for this sort of thing it would be good enough(8bit LDR is good enough in a lot of cases). For Toolbag sky content you really just want enough range to prevent blown highlights and to get better gradients especially…
Hey Manuel! Great concept choice. Ovopack's work is a lot of fun. I think you're off to a great start, but in my opinion there are some areas that can be improved. One, if you're going for a self-lit character, you'll definitely want to define the forms a lot more then you have so far. Greater ranges of values and color…
Now days you can get Laptops with desktop grade GPUs which is really neat and new; so for modelling specifically, you'll want to be looking at a laptop with an nvidia GTX1060 or even higher if you're want. Go for a laptop which will last. Personally, I have the last gen Alienware which has an i7 processor, 16GB Ram and a…
I guess everyone is different when it comes to what drives them to work when they don't want to. For me money doesn't really work that well when it comes in the shape of a steady paycheck, I take stuff for granted too easily and getting money every month that doesn't change depending on the work I put in does nothing for…
hmm. Well bloom and lensflare are artifacts of the optics being used to observe the scene, so they'd still be a thing depending on what you're looking through. :) Also, remember the visibility of a lightsource does diminish with distance, even without any blocking medium. The whole inverse square distance energy…
As far as goth styling goes there are a lot of options, but a few certain archetypes that you can go with. Archetypal clothing is likely going to help the character read more how you want them than just cobbling together a bunch of black reference. this site is one of my favorites regarding dark fashion and tends to cover…
If you do a little bit of reading about giacometti youll find out that he studied art most of his life, and began sculpture the traditional way, sculpting folks with normal roughly proportions. He knows his shit, but maybe he got bored, maybe he found more interest in elongating the limbs and making stuff razor thin -…
Don't know if this has been said before, but I'd love a zombie mmo. Dead rising's levelling system and insane amounts of weapons + Left 4 deads action + resident evil's zombie crocodiles / mmo = WIN! I can already imagine some jobs/classes, would be awesome if it was kept realistic and simple: Medic: Good at healing(duh),…
Thanks for the comments everyone! I think I'll call her finished for now, though. I already put her in the layout of my emergency portfolio: http://www.wayuki.nl/portfolio/ I'd rather fix up the other textures first and make some new stuff as well. It's rather barebones (read: crappy) ATM. It's also a very weird mix of…
