Hi Outline, These are looking cool and I'm liking the story elements! If you want some feedback in terms of critiques for the designs then I think some value definition, lighting and edge control will go a long way for these pieces. If you check out any of James Paick's tutorials online (free or paid ones) I think it'll be…
Yea the basic idea is to get the black-and-white mask that you can quickly do color adjustments in Photoshop or other apps. It's faster that way compare to trying to adjust light colors and render over and over. Most render engine these days has a pre-built AO pass/element for you to use. Most baking apps can also bake AO…
MightyPea: Yeah, it's pretty damn handy. Especially as it's done at the lowest level (while you're selecting elements) rather than having to activate a tool (like Max's Target Weld). I'll post it up if I get anywhere. No guarantees at this point, I'm just looking to dick about in Maxscript to get the hang of it. Cheers for…
Good to hear, glad to help. Keep digging in that texture editor - there's a lot of cool stuff in there to make UV mapping less painful. I find I get a lot of use out of island selection, all the healing tools, Relax, and the match tool as well (good for synching up mirrored/overlapping geometry without having to tweak it a…
Yes, BB was awesome. Alfed was unbelievable! Michael cain was outstanding. As was Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson.. heck, everybody rocked. The scenes with the Scarecrow were a perfect way to tie in the miller-esque element to the Batman Mythos. Wow, need to see again! @Mit I think Holmes' Character was a good way to tie Bruce…
I like. The only complaint is lacking in details that allows the separate elements to pop out from the rest of the structure. In the GL renders you can almost see every nut and bolt yet the texturing that you are applying is masking out a lot of the detail that makes the GL renders interesting in shape. You have a lot of…
I did some simple flash work to my site, would this get on your nerves? www.rage-unleashed.biz I like to think I kept it simple, quick and fast loading enough that the flash elements are subtle enough to not piss viewers off...I've heard either way. Some people just don't want any animation or flash PERIOD, others think it…
Before you commit to the design, I highly recommend reading excerpts from the "Into Darkness" series. It's a WW2 esque fantasy war series where wizards are frontline specialists alongside "rifleman." Magic "stick" guns are recharged magically via blood magic that wizards perform to reload the sticks. My main qualm is that…
The chair fabric has an odd sheen to it. It looks more metallic than a fabric , I'm not sure what to suggest, perhaps someone else will other wise I would use trial and error. Looks like I may've been wrong on the metal, it does corrode very quickly (depending on the metal) however it does seem to be more red/brown than…
Looks great. All the environments and effects are well designed. I'm hoping there is less movie elements, and more gameplay than the trailer implies. I'll probably never get into it as it is a console. An FPS feels odd from a console controller. If only someone out there could design a 3D sensor control device that would…
