Re: Spider Queen WIP Zbrush
Hey, shaping up pretty well so far. At this early stage, most things seem pretty darn well set-- except her breasts. They're kinda deciding to defy gravity the further down they go, ignoring the fact they're huge. You really have to try and think of the breasts as something more akin to a sack than "boobs". They also fall… -
Re: Staffs Uni Dinosaur/Mech
thanks for the critique way back when! i changed the sructure of the rear heels, to try and divert from human anatomy and represent the creatures bone structure. Since the last post a new projection was completed, diffuse maps were created, the miniguns have been textured and everything was animated and exported to engine.… -
Re: Physically accurate material values
I believe the larger studios, and serious contractors, actually do get calibrated photo reference of a similar material to work from. There's some artistic interpretation involved, sure, but there's also a clinical way to go about it. That said I don't think you're doing it "wrong" in terms of some absolute, but guesswork… -
Re: Preview: Close encounters and Rednecks
i guess tires could just be big ones, and the bags could be jumbo sized, too. i still think they look off. i was thinking they were regular sized car tires maybe smaller since it's a motor home. maybe they're motor home farmers, or something. maybe the spaceship crash caused glass to shrink and rubber to expand. ;p maybe… -
Re: the un-charming Prince and other wips
I hate to say it, but I like that '08 version you linked much better. You had some good features there; a strong brow, strong nose, strong chin, all a similar shape. What you've got now is that all the features are prominent. Not just the brow, nose and chin, but also the eyes, cheeks, mouth, and even the wrinkles on his… -
Re: UDK - Maelstrom/Whirlpool - Creation Process?
That's something I tried, but in the case of Normal Maps, the details don't compress as seen in Uncharted and/or HL2, but instead 'smudge', as if they're shot through a black hole before mixed with Jello. The only way I can get them to distort correctly is if I use a very blurred and huge cloud-esque map, which isn't a… -

Re: How to make proper carbon fiber material?
Oh, actually by carbon fiber I meant stuff like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_fiber-reinforced_polymer not just the carbon fiber woven fabrics. So usually there's a layer of clear fiber glass of top of the fabric, which at the right lighting could have it's own specular and reflection, so its usually very… -
Re: whiskey recommendations
Finally, a GD thread that is important! I like Rye: Whistle Pig (one of my favorites) http://www.joesdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/whistlepig-straight-rye-whiskey.jpg FEW (really good, about 60 a bottle) http://professorcocktail.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Few-Spirits-Rye-Whiskey.jpg Sazerac (the brand, not the… -
Re: UDK Material/Black Diffuse for metal
Yeeeah...not sure yet, I'll have to add some detail to the Spec and Gloss. I was kind of hoping for something amazing I guess. Just made me think, if this was a way of getting close to physical accurate I should try it. However without any light in the scene you're going to get a 100% black object. Which I wouldn't think…
