    ya... the head looks too small. The eyes need work, the arms don't fit in well with the shoulders, his torso looks too boxy. Try to give him some pecks and bring in his gut area a little bit.

    But thats pretty impressive for a first humanoid model

    came across this guy's sites...

    I thought the photos were really good, makes us realize we are living in the future kinda... check out the other galleries on his site too

    well if realism is what your going for than photo textures would be the best way to go about it I suppose.

    But realism isn't always the best way to go for making a game... I think part of what makes a game good is its unique style and look, and that comes in part from a certain style of textures. But realism can be good too.

    Its relative to the experience you want the game to have...

    either crop the sides off or put some small buildings there, it creates too much dead space and gives it an unbalanced composition

    but other than that I like it

  • Seamless normal map modeling, any tips?

    • Vinny Testaverde
    • October 10, 2006 at 10:31 PM

    with zbrush you just make whatever the hell you want, off either a model or a plane and generate a normal map into those uvs of that model or plane

    but I would get the plugin zmapper and use that instead of zbrush's defualt normal map generator

    Cool!

    The floor looks too dirty for me though? It sort of ruins the look I think your going for.

    Other than though I think its looking good

    looks cool...

    I would have like to have seen much bigger plumes of smoke coming from the oil towers, the plumes were seen from space during the war, and I think it would like an omnious dynamic element to the map..

  • Just a few pictures I took

    • September 12, 2006 at 3:19 AM

    The last two are nice!

    The first 3 not so much... the compositon sorta lacks, theres nothing intresting in them imo.

    i'd say keep doing more stuff like the last two

    skdr, what program are you using? If your using like max or maya I could help you out with a lot with it

    Also add in a sky now, I find that it helps in working the other elements when that strong element is present, because you may wind up seeing that after you add a sky in that it doesnt relate to rest of scene or vice versa etc...

    It always best to develop by not focusing in on certain aspects without giving the same amount of focus to others, meaning working the whole thing at once. imho anyway
