really straight forward suggestion, just have some extra straps attached to likely points.

There's a few other things, like the pattern in his bandolier, if I were you I'd pinch up that sawtooth groove and even add little stiches to it to really make the detail pop. It's extra mile shit like that that will make it really be insane.

thanks, and yeah you are probably right with that. And it had even more polys before, I guess I should reduce it a again.

Btw, I have a question. Is it possible (in Maya) to extude a face while preserving the UV`s? I know that I can move components while doing that but I haven´t seen an option for that in the extrude tool :I

Ok, I think I will animate it since I need practice with skinning a mesh. I always struggle with that...

I originally intended to give the figure more of a "trophy" feel, likee the figurines in Windwaker, so I left the specularity on, but since I'm giving it life now, Im going to remove/reduce the effect.

animation... i need more context as to why she is moveing like that to comment.

model itself... the texturing looks ok, but the arms are literally a cylinder, i cant see the face enough to comment, but it looks like she has no ribcage and no inturnal organs because of how thin she is.

im going to assume that there s a nude model somewhere, i don't know if 3 still trying to pass itself off as a sfw board, but cover the nips and vag in case and post if they are in the texture.... if there is no nude, than i can tell you exactly where you went wrong.

>>425858
depending on how thin you are, there is a gap there, and with how thin the rest of this character is, the amount of gap may actually be correct,

>>425855
if it is a style and not just a mistake, than i have to say its a bad style.

I had just finished this yesterday.
I'm not really sure if this is the best place to post this but I don't want to make a new thread for it.

A friend of mine asked me to do a wallpaper for him, the one he had before was similar, but he didn't like it all that much.

I tried to keep it "somewhat" realistic. And I use that very loosely (atoms don't emit light/ random dust). But the atom is based off of a carbon atom, 6 protons/neutrons and 6 electrons. The little wireframe sphere is just an imaginary border for the electron cloud.

Anyway, I'd like to know what you all think. Or if you have any other ideas for things I can make. I'd like to make more science based art, but I can't really come up with ideas to use that well.

About the rims, I have to turn it in a rally car with stickers and etc, so I chose for white painted rims. It looks kinda ridiculous atm.
Noise is because of render settings, just for testing.

what you've got here is one hard light, and the rest of its too dark. you need some ambient lighting or something large and soft the light up (reflect off) the rest of the car.

Just as a heads up I didn't model the character, the rig came with an animation tutorial course from 3d motive. Oh by the way I had to reskin the shit out of the character because the rigger didn't pay any attention to how human necks work and never attempted to make her raise her arm all the way up like I have.

Hate character artists with no understanding of deformation for animation and I hate riggers that have no understanding of where bones should be placed for accurate deformation.

The only things I did was the sword and anim.

This is just a playblast in maya, the character and rig are made for UDK.

I give up with this thing anim, it looks horrible.

ok, so you didn't model the character, so you get a pass there. sword is very basic, but apparently that isn't what you were doing it for...

as for the animation, i believe this looks like a power up deal, if thats the case, make the lightning come from the blade not to the blade, but if you want the power to go into the blade,the moment that the lightning hits, you should have her brace for impact or something.

if you are not doing anything more with it, keep that for future reference.

your texture looks exactly like what it is, photoshop filters. Start over and this time, try using a photo reference or make it look a little more realistic with scratches and rust. If that's supposed to look like red paint peeling off, you should try a little more to make it look like that. because it doesn't. handle looks okay though, except for the red letters.you should give it a little depth because now it looks like a sticker.

There's still a lot of weird looking stretching and pinching left over, not to mention n-gons. If possible, everything should be done with 4 sided faces. Triangles are okay if need so long as they don't affect the model. 5+ sided faces are not allowable in almost any case though. When you deleted the extra loops did it leave behind vertices?

Not big on fidelity, are you? The cuirass shouldn't really look like this... ending with a thick iron girdle? If it was supposed to look as a seperate picece it doesn't. The Chainmail bits make no sense, you use it in place of a tunic basically. Normally if chainmail was sticking down out of you it meant you were wearing a full suit of it but there's none to be found on him besides as crotch and ass coverings - it's also unfortunate the guy has nothing but leather torn form a couch protecting his legs while there's metal dangling nearby. The gloves would suit a full body of gothic armor but the bracers protect only the outer side of the forearm? Kind of inconsistent. What are those blue things? A tunic? Why are there shovels in place of shoulder guards? I mean there are tall shoudler guards with a sort of poped collar thing going on but they sure don't look like your's and your's don't look like functional either. How would you intend to animate this guy with those segmented-but-bolted-stiff things in the way of his head moving and viewing things? Can't determine how the helmet's constructed or opened/put on which in effect makes it seem lot less believable. Also the main body of the helmet is kind of goofy in the way that it's shaped. Like it was something elastic that you pull onto your noggin. The mask thing would also need some tweaking.

Go look at some source materials. Look at stuff like Kuman, Mamluk, Kipchak etc. helmets, those were used with masks. Look at how they were used in combination with lammelar or chainmail hoods, chainmail attached to the lower rims of the mask and helmet, mask with a clamp that attached it to the helmet etc. For feet og look at ornate gothic armor.

Your problem is you're not looking at/recalling authentic armor but the stuff someone else processed already in their work and you don't recognise the functionality of the elements you do or don't depict.

PS I dont want to shit all over you, I'm not saying it's all shit.

No worries, I posted this expecting to be torn apart but your criticisms are all fair and honest which I appreciate.

You were spot on with the not looking at authentic armour thing, I made this thing up mostly straight from what I thought looked cool in my head and I wasn't really concentrating on realistic set of armour, more of a silly high fantasy vibe (which I failed at as well)

I sadly forgot to include the head of this character as it's the same as the feet, cracked stone.

Thanks for the criticisms though, one thing I've been getting a lot is to look at references more often and to be frank its something I really need to remember to do and not just dive right in!

While were at it: you should mind your proportions. I didn't realize that was supposed to be his body, because those feet are really thick for someone his height in heads.

His arms/forearms are long enough for him to almost scratch his knees.

All that combined with a broad bell of the helmet gives me the (subjective?) impression that he's 5'3 even though he's around 6 heads tall. Without dirrect refference he won't be very imposing. And with refference that black bulb looming over someone might end up looking comedic.

Well i just got here, about to start learning how to use blender. You guys seem to have an excellent tutorial.

Making engines for a game, game has I4 and V8.
My plan is to craft up a V2 (Vtwin) motorcycle engine, and an I3.

Going to check the current V8 and I4 model for how many pollys it uses Though the I4 uses few/fuckall, might have to up the count a little.

The V2 is supposd to be air-cooled (reminscent of a beatle engine too) however not sure if i should do that via bump map, or polygons (itd probably eat into the polygon budget)

I used final gathering and set the bounce to 1, don't know if that does anything. I'll do some more renders when I have time later and try with GI.

I used a hdri map in a skylight for reflections but those aren't really visible.
Light setup was 3 sky portals. One big one above the car, one on the front, and one the far side. I had some trouble with getting the light right but time was running out.

As this is my first car I learned a lot. I'll definitely tweak the lightning and the model further later. But I'm just happy at the moment that I passed the exam. Thanks for the comments

I want to create a 1:1 scale model of my own head. Any tips on how I should do this? I don't want to sweat the details like perfectly accurate pores and hair, I just want a head model that is the exact size and shape of my actual head with eyes, nose, and ears all the correct size and in the right place. Reason for this model is that I want to design my own sunglasses frames and I want to be sure that any such frames I design would fit my face like a glove. If the frames fit my 1:1 model head, they will fit my own head, I believe.

I'm adept at 3D modeling, I know how to create a head model. I'm just not sure how to get every unique angle of my head and what approach I should be going aiming at for accuracy. I have measuring tape like in the picture I linked, getting the circumference of my head at any part is a breeze. Any sort of tips will help.

Use 123D Catch, its an online software thats perfect for getting head proportions etc. I have used it a few times for digital doubles.
It gives you ratshit geometry but its great for retopologising.
I found that taking a good quality video of around the head and then splitting the frames up works better than taking pictures.

You could try getting that technical paper for design that has those lines drawn in, put it behind your head, take few pics from few angles , get that into max/maya and adjust some model to that

Come on, you can do anything you want in that surface.
Obviously you cnat have all quads there since there isnt an even number of the edges on the outside, but other than that you can go crazy.

If you wnat a fail safe solution pick one vertex, jump 2 or 3 edges depending on if you want tris or quads, and connect to the first one. Then start where you last left off again count 2 or 3 edges connect, until you are done with ether one tris or a quad.

You need to add one more edge on the side for full quad topology.

I'm liking it so far. Very fast to create usable maps and it's all non-destructive.

The only downside so far is I'm creating tangent space normal maps via Handplane - which means that I can get away with not splitting my UVs up as much and leaving a lot of 'tension' in the smoothing groups. dDo doesn't react well to that.

It's less "Spending two weeks on one model" and more "Spending two weeks figuring out what the fuck I'm doing, and also making a model"

Used a reference image with photos of the front and right side of the skull. Started by Modelling the face from a subdivided cube: 4, a bit of trace work. But once I got to the edge of the jaw line, I had to stop using the reference image (I still stuck to it as best as I could)

The rest of it was just guesswork really, figuring out which joint connects to each part. It became a headache.

Basically I had build the side walls of this room, but I need to fill the end in. I am unsure of how to fill the back wall in so everything is connected. The base of the wall is giving me problems because it is a higher poly which would result in an N-gon, which from my experience with the slit tool, Maya don't like.

What had been working for me up until now is bridge tool and then merging all verts.

I'm animating these small boxes (the green and the blue). So I finished the first part of the animation with the green box jumping and failing. Then when I was satisfied with the result I started animating the second step, him succeeding with the jump.
And when I was done with the second part the whole first part had moved down.
The animation was still the same and correct, but everything was waaaay to low down.
Anyone got any idea why?
