I completely agree with you there. LOTR was awesome because it took orcs, elves and hobbits (which are more or less as comedic as it gets) and put them in a serious, believable world. The "believable world" oftentimes breaks down in the Hobbit movies. One of the biggest shortcomings! LotR had a ton of musical themes that…
i try to sketch with my tablet as much as possible but i really find it hard with the texture on the tablet. i don't know any other word but slick. with the rough texture of pen/pencil and paper i feel much more comfortable and get much better results. when i first got the tablet i thought it was just a matter of getting…
Yikes.... Day 6/7/8/9/10 I was uh... set back due to....major realizations about how the model was going to be animated....those realisations came after I spent days decimating,uv mapping & just while I was beginning to texture. Plan ahead, don't be like me, is all I can say. Changelog - Slide Corrections - Internals -…
Currently sculpting in Mudbox 2013 and when rotating the object to the front view, I'm able to use the Grab tool to move parts of the object around. However, when rotated to the Right or Left side, I'm unable to Grab the same area. After doing a Freeze Tranformations, I'm able to Grab the area I want in either Orthographic…
curious how many segments on Icosa? EDIT: nvm figured it out, its on 2 Icosa with Turbosmooth and then splitting it apart. Way better than slicing technique but surely will come in handy for tools that dont have slice tools for example :D
Well something seems to have happened with my trial version of Character Creator, and now I can't access any of the body controls. Normally there's this panel on the left side of the interface that has a selection of default body, face, and clothing types, but instead there's this; I try and click on these folders, but it…
I don't really know how bevel/chamfer in max work but as far as I remember there's a window comes out when you activate the little box and you can change by sliding or input the value? The script is still using maya's native node, therefore the history will be maintained and basically the sliding has been clamped, as far…
Your reel looks very clean and well presented. My only critique is that no individual shot or piece stands out as amazing. The design of the shots, the models, the sculpting all looks pretty serviceable but nothing knocks my socks off. if you want stable work you're going to be aiming for in-house salaried work rather than…
Yeah. I added all those stupid edges to the slide trying to fix the errors. The rest of it is in tris cause i accidentally made it an edible mesh instead of poly and found it too late :) so had to deal with it being triangulated (would explain the the edges connecting quads). N'gons i was under the impression that…
Some interesting design choices on that guy. As we're in the 2D forum I'll only critique the concept drawing. I would say that the various shapes are kind of competing with one another. You have an ergonomic focus in the hand and thumb grip, but then immediately switch over to a more hard edge design on the finger guard in…
