Ah, your price is fair then. You should make a one color press yourself with a $50 kit from Michaels (small black/white ink, one screen, emulsion, squegee) or any arts and crafts store and use a heat gun to dry them if the designs are not so blocky like this design. It's only one color so you can have everything set up easily for under $100. If you sell 5 shirts of any design at that point it's paid for and it's much more profitable than that site, although they do, do all the work. If you are looking into putting in a little elbow grease silk screening is a good way to make quick money. Hell there are people that make 4 color tabletop presses for $150 now. The only thing for you is finding a place you can get wholesale on shirts, but that's not too hard.

Just focusing on lights. I think i'll go with physical sun and sky and a portal light. Physical sky illuminates that hole in the back indirectly better than my spot/area light, and miles faster at that.
Portal light just for photons. They bring out little detail better than FGs secondary diffuse and i love color bleeding.

The whole head looks unappealing and generally out of place.
The feet look pretty flat, they should have a bit more volume. Same thing with the hands, they look pretty 2D. It's much better to model a hand in a "claw" position than spread out flat so you don't lose the volume.
Oh and last, the elbows. Look at the side view, they're not really supposed to look like that.

It's really a babby tier setup, in maya you can establish physical sun and sky with one click, render settings. Final gathering does the bulk of indirect illumination, because it's rays bounce off the sky sphere. I added single light to emit photons - they bounce off the surfaces carrying colors - color bleeding - It's faint but definitely there, "warming up" the scene. Pic related, just changed the blue back to gray.
I think you can achieve great result with just one, pohoton emiting light, placed in the window for example. Check this links, they're step by step.

Looking pretty good but the rib cage area is a big problem. Note that the rib cage tapers out towards the top, not the bottom, especially in women. The chest area would be further inward, right now it's projecting out. The scapula on the first image protrudes too much, that would only happen with the arms raised. The hip bone should be a bit more prominent and show the separation to the legs. So do model the inguinal ligament and the iliac spine, very important. The back actually has an indentation in the middle, it's not flat. Attach the boobs to the pecs. The clavicles and the sternum aren't there, you should model the set of depressions between the clavicle, the neck and the trapezius, also important.

How do you go about making more anatonimcally correct human models? Obviously, 'study anatomy', but how? What is that, really?

>>360395
people who 'study' anatomy in art, generally just go look at books on the subject (google Loomis), which go from skeletal forms, to muscle, then to skin over the top. It would help some people in 3D for anatomically correct forms, but I honestly don't think it's necessary unless you aim for realism in your work.
studying from pictures will still get you there eventually, just be more observant of positions/restrictions/size of limbs.

The one thing I dislike about work from people who studied anatomy a lot, is they always do huge-mcbuff Herculean men, or petite females with optimal curves. I haven't seen any 3D work of accurate chubby-fat males or females before, anyone got examples?

I'm not trying to insult you, dude but with your current work it simply looks like you don't have a style and are going with it rather than you having a style and choosing it to look this way. The main reasons can be summed up with your guy looks uncanny without a point of reference.

For all we know this really is how he's supposed to look but if you really want anyone to believe that then you'll have to be able to show that this character is not a riddled mistakes.

This character of yours looks old, long-faced and generally kinda ugly(which ISN'T a bad thing!) which makes him hard to look at but if you can make a character with much more normal proportions then it can ease your viewers perception.

On the side is a very minor example of what I mean with his eyes more centred on his head but if you could make a younger character(25-35 or so) then that'd be even better.

Not all criticism is correct criticism but if that's all you're getting then maybe there is a problem.

It would be easier to just tell him to take a higher resolution picture of bread and use it as a texture. Since tiling doesn't work for bread at all, tiling is too reliant on there being no exceptionally large or small details, and bread is full of those.
He'll have to use Photoshop to draw the edge of the bread near the crust. There's a gradual shift of bread to crust, not at all like in that picture.

-His bone structure is completely nonsensical.
-His bones deform as if they were made of jelly, which is especially disgusting looking on his skull.
-His expressions are weird and undefined. Is he happy? Sassy? Retarded? Conniving? Angry? What the hell am I looking at?
-Apart from his skull, his general anatomy seems like it was made by someone who saw a face once and sort of tried to replicate it without really knowing what they were doing. Like a children's drawing.
-Texturing is abysmal.
-Terrible stylization.

Overall the whole thing just really makes me wanna punch it and the person who made it. It's simply bad, it looks like it's trying to make me hate it. Did you set out to make something this visually offensive from the get go? Because if that was the goal, you succeeded gracefully.

Those aren't just whole cylinders; the other side of the model has an opening for the slide/bolt that was cut out.

Also, who knows if those dimensions are to scale, not that they necessarily need to be for vidya games, but for simulation or training you'd want them as lifelike as possible -- therefore you'd have to do quite a bit of measuring on each piece.

You're not explaining yourself very well at all and your image is pretty worthless. But from what I gathered, your plan is to make a 3d scan of a set then use a depth pass to create the mattes instead of keying out a green screen? Uh... yeah I guess that would work (kinda). But why do it? Keying a green screen is easier and cheaper than 3d scanning a whole set. Like you said, it wouldn't work with actors which is a huge part of why green screens are used anyway. So what's the point?

That's a move in the right direction :)

I'd pay a little attention now to the thickness of your limbs. Your limbs are so slender that they look incapable of supporting the body on top of them. Picture every bone you've ever seen; they flare out at either end. Keeping that in mind, look at the joints on your model. Where you have skinny limbs the joint should be larger, if only for the shape of the bone underneath.

I understand you said you're not aiming for perfect anatomy but remember that animals take their different shapes for a reason, Their bodies are shaped to accomodate their gait and weight.

Look at this fella, the pangolin. He's not as lean as the raptor you're making but he has a broad thick tail. to counterbalance his body's weight, which is what allows him to walk on his hinds legs like he does.

It's still looking pretty solid though, model wise. Just pull your verts around until his body is shaped for the part.

Even in that scene the necks and tails are quite thick at the base.

Think about it like this. That's 2 metres of muscle and bone it's gotta whip around to balance itself. It needs some thick muscle to keep it lifted.

Same with the neck, It's got a big fat head and thick jaws that need to be thrown around.

You don't have to make it thick, but if you put a little beef where the tail and neck meet the body it'd go a long way.

Raptors have a very slim overhead silhouette as well. If you're doing this for a game you could have them run with their head and shoulders a ltitle lowered to highlight that, or if its just for renders you can take good shots.

If its just for practice do what you want but its good to think about these things as a designer :)

Cheers again, that's a good way to look at it. I'll add some bulk around the tail and neck then. Nah, it's not for games, i'ts more practice. I'll model it, sculp it, texture it, render it, make a pretty picture i guess.

Then i'll probably model another one (after learning through this one) and rig it

Found a better reference.

Are there any websites that have tutorials for making textures for you to use, so that I could have like a library of shit at 2048^2 or whatever ready to go

The rail and the front bead are way tiny. Also you're probably not done but the pistol grip and trigger

Another update, sorry about the wait between all these, had to go to out for a bit.

I wanna thank the bloke whos been giving me constructive feedback for the last lot of posts too, i'm about to add more muscle shapes in now.

I shoved a couple of point lights above the model to show off the defining line I put on the side of the body. I've kept the Tris to a minimum, and so far i'm happy with it.

The arms, legs, fingers and toes could probably be a little straighter, but it's not going to be rigged, just posed and rendered, so i'm not too fussed.

actually, my mistake, went over my model quickly. There are no tris or ngons, only quads :)

link, nothing stands out with a quick search.

are you assuming that you only have one job as a 3d modeler, make the guns and get the fuck out? take a look at everything in a game, all of that, its all made by someone and usually isn't just a canned model.

even if they use a canned model they still have to alter it.

though it is a fact that teams of art and game design finish up at different times.

Its why some of the games that got kickstarted start another kickstarter before the first game is done... the team doing shit for one game is done and sitting on their hands because they don't have the skills to do another.

in a big developer you are always doing/making shit so you aren't sitting on your hands.
