Shuriken can be faster or slower then the old system depending on how you use it. Believe me, the temptation is there, with the massive increase in power and control, to just go all out and blow 15 of the 16 available milliseconds on particle effect because you can. However, with said great power comes great…
Perhaps it's the lighting, or I turned down the spec too much on those parts. From my searching, Source does not use a Spec Color map, so I can't use the suggested methods to achieve a nice gold appearance. But I'll work with it some more. I believe the record is brown due to the cubemap reflection, because the texture is…
LoL what's up AI of Houston buddy? That school was especially terrible. I only had 1 student loan for housing at 8k but I couldn't believe the cost of the school for 2 years, let alone 4. I thought of the experience as paying someone money to give me time to figure out what I wanted to do with my life before I got sucked…
In fact, I'm not poly painting in Zbrush. I import the low poly model, the same I did on Maya and paint the actual texture on Zbrush, through projection master and Photoshop. I believe this should sound even more alien and old fashioned than most people here expect, but it works well for me... @marq4porsche: Yeah, the idea…
I agree. Fair play if people don't like the concept or if they believe it's over done but I haven't been taking the characters in to consideration on any monthly concept thread. Don't get why it has become the focus this time on this particular image. Been plenty of cool environments with lots of characters in, but don't…
[ QUOTE ] As far as "should not have served 35 years for stealing a television" goes - "don't do the crime if you can't do the time" I say. [/ QUOTE ] So you believe that serving 35 years for stealing a $140 television (a misdemeanor) is appropriate? I almost find that offensive. Enix, I figured that you had mistook the…
Haha I made a Morrigan a while ago (quite embarassed about it now). Probably my biggest inspiration for proportions was that rockstar concept artist Hyung Tae kim: For some reason (even that Killer Bee), his proportions just seemed spot on with Morrigan... like it's perfectly Capcom. Thick arms. Waist is half the size of…
I remember this exact issue in max 2013. Racking my brain trying to remember the specific issue/fix. Will get back to you if i remember. edit: I THINK i may have resorted to using the fly-through camera mode because it actually moves within the object as opposed to the default which, when zoomed in, reamains outside of the…
The ability to create art, is just as important as the ability to read art. I think the most tangible (and yummy) analogy is food: just because high priced restaurants offer delicious meals doesn't mean you'll taste much difference compared to a stand next to the road. You need to almost "know" what to look for in order to…
Looks awesome so far! Maybe adding a bit more wear to the body, some minor scratches and dirt, though don't go too crazy. Also try to add some variation to the wheels (rotate them so they're aren't all on the exact same level, it gives some more believability especially if you're going to put the model on top of a terrain…
