I edited some of the shapes. I'm not gonna go to town on whats here. I'll save further modeling learning for the next project. Definitely appreciate the tips though. The shapes here overall are definitely low enough poly that adding in a few chamfers and some extra cut detail will add a much needed sense of realism. I'm…
Sounds similar to my weekend but not as bad. First, I get sick and have to leave work early. Find out my video card no longer works properly. So no gaming or modelling over the weekend. My gf had to go to court for missing her probation and gets put in jail for 5 days, she gets out tommorow. Also, she had driven my van to…
Most tutorials for the Source Engine were hosted on the Facepunch forums which no longer exist. The rest are either part of the Valve Developer Community Wiki or as steam community guides for various source games. Namely Garrys Mod and Source Filmmaker. To save you some time here's some mandatory resources. You'll need…
Thankyou!! Your words of encouragement mean a lot ^_^ Yes I want to avoid using black, I want it to be a fairly dark scene/ character anyway and I'll just lose all the detail otherwise. I guess that's what rogues are good at though I suppose :p Texturing still in progress!! Setting up a scene in Marmoset so I can see how…

I'd be personally terrified of purposely only trying to work half a week as a freelancer. My general perception is that you work as much as you can freelancing, to save up for the rainy days when there are no current jobs. My old professor is a way better, more of a "freelancer" freelancer than I (more of a contractor I…
Hi! Grimmstrom:Thanks! Yeah good point with the lights. Yeah the AO in cryengine is a little bit tricky sometimes. I havent really started with playing around with the setting yet. I dont know if u are aware of all the different ao settings? Rather then playing around with the AO in the time of day, you can open up the…
If you want something a lot easier to pump out without learning a complex compositing application, check out Hitfilm 3 Express (Free) or Sony Movie Studio (aka Vegas, $20-40 via amazon or Steam $50-60). https://hitfilm.com/express…
Here ya go, might not work past versions 2.71 though (worth testing). http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?306867-BMax-Tools-or-how-I-left-3ds-Max-%29&highlight=bmax You can also try requesting it be updated to 2.74 (may still work, i have no idea) or get familiar with it to the point where you can customize it…
In terms of the actual assets i think they look cool. Did you model straight from the texture sheet? In terms of looking like tf2. I dunno. I mean they use a very specific colour palette for the maps. This is just the texture diff. They use with normal and height maps and their own mix of shaders and stuff. You should go…
