Time to update. As I ponder over the idea of filling the lower area with water I did a really quick and dirty attempt of exploring this idea. Are you ready for another huge fork in the road in terms of theme direction and design? After thinking about the drain I started messing around in Sketchup for a while and made a…
In general right now, the pieces as they stand have potential but I feel the only thing that really stands out to me is that they are generally a bit dull, there's not much story telling and more like a clean plated environment where it kind of says "Here's the environment" I feel you could push these pieces (all of them)…
<-- Updates below wall of text! Sorry for the lack of replies dudes! I have been working my ass off on the next diorama recently, but Id rather not show my hand before its ready so to speak. The main reason thing have been alittle slow of late is because I'm soon to be speaking at an industry event here in the UK towards…
Hey guys, I am not sure if I will have time to finish this or not but I've wanted to do one of these forever so I figure no time better than now. These concepts are totally different style from anything I've done so I think that's a good challenge for me. I am going to do the heavy viking guy - first concept. Just cause…
So, I've been doing some digging over the last few weeks and I will say I've currently moved more off the game stuff to product viz maybe even looking into archviz but I'm still bouncing around a few things. But i thought i'd try and get some advice here as you're a great bunch that really know your shiz. Anyway I've…
TBF, if he wasn't a student then and isn't one now then it wasn't actually free for him anyway. I'm not going to judge. I just wouldn't do it. Everybody's different. That said, I don't think that he's complaining so much as he's sighing out loud. It's more of a, "Well, it was fun while it lasted. On to the next party." I'm…
Currently in a similar position although I'm already in college and am trying to balance things out. For starters, throw out that "other people think I should end up as a scientist, etc." mindset as soon as you can, it will only hurt you. The fact is, you'll only get depressed if you feel the need to meet other people's…
Thank you guys for the amazing feedback! I'll do my best to answer as thoroughly as possible. Bartalon: Thank you for linking to the latest version. This will make it into the next build. Jaidek: Yes! In 3DO you can turn PBR off, and when you set up your project you can load the "Base Definition" preset to quickly bake in…
I just picked up the model pack to take a look at it. The OBJ file you'll be importing into blender won't have a bone structure set up, so you'll need to follow a rigging tutorial to be able to animate the characters. For rigging and animating, I'd recommend this tutorial:…
For the final presentation I have gone with a 70/80’s feel to fit with the selected asset which looks well used and worn. Final model is 5774 faces and textures for the handplane are 2k.
