@Bibendum: I'm curious, why would you want to do it in max and then in UDK again? @JZAcH: If you look at the image you've linked you see that there are several different types of effects going on, not just one big scattered effect. There are the smaller ones running down from the bridge, other larger ones coming from the…
The stars are called poles. You can't avoid poles, but generally you want to place them in flat areas. When a pole is in an area with curvature, it generally will cause a dimple in the surface, when the model is subdivided. You need to bring your edge loops closer together to make those ridges on the model. Your very first…
you can also try running around the level and screen record. then watch it later after a break and you might see some specific angles that speak to you, and you can do a quick 2d overpaint of a screengrab to test out some ideas what you could do there. since it is a vertical environment I think there may be opporunity to…
Hey Lewis, great start so far. Love how the bridge textures turned out! We would suggest possibly adding some overall color variation to the scene, as now it shoots a bit monochromatic vibe (perhaps that was the intention though). Some complimentary reds/oranges/yellows on trees or flowers on the ground could help to sell…
I think the ships textures needs some work to match the painterly style of your other textures, here are some suggestions I have : First of all I'd change the color of the deck to something else than white - probably a dark desaturated red ? Make the plates less uniform and don't restrict yourself to sharp 90° corners --…
Thank you Eric! Massive help there. For reference I'm using images of Chinese festivals in the evening/sunset and trying to pull off that feeling. Done a bit more work on this. I've adjusted the colour so it's not quite as red. Completely re-done the surface of the water with help from a tutorial on www.hourences.com,…
i think the jaw is off a bit, but what i think is making her look less asian is the nose bridge. this was something i was fighting with too, untill i got a good tip from my asian art director... asian people dont really have a nose bridge, some have more than others, but cute little asian girls are almost completly flat…

@ Neoncypher - Oh god yeah, they dont make cars like the old Nissans anymore, and im guessing they never will. The whole spirit of being able to just buy a car for <£4k and drift it till it falls to bits is awesome. I cant believe I never noticed the issue with the side windows and windscreen not lining up, I honestly was…
