I've been learning sculpting this week:

WOW you nailed it! Super model !

Things to look out for (rather than the cock sucking you will get from most everybody else )

* Scales are a bit off, mostly in the lips, which seem too small.

* Your mirror seam is poking through

* The position of the eyes seems to be pointing outward in a "hurr duhh" kind of way, so rather than looking at the same object, they point point away from each other.

Great start for just starting to learn to sculpt though chief, look forward to seeing you progress

Berlin Aquadom


If you need a reason for a quick weekend visit to Berlin then the Aquadom is something that is not to be missed. A tranquil home for 2600 fish and 56 species swimming around in over 900,000 litres of seawater. The feeding of the fish and the cleaning of the fish tank is performed daily by a pair of full-time divers.

Pergamon Museum


The Islamic Art Museum is housed in the upper part of the Pergamon Museum and contains a wealth of fabric and ceramic exhibitions including the famous Mshatta facade. The ceramic pray altars were a breathtaking sight of beauty constructed from uniquely designed glazed tiles perfectly locked together.

SOCK - You skipped Slovakia and Czech Republic, why? There is a LOT of gothic inspiration

Canada is rad, Vancouver is more rad :P tho the weather has been rainy and grey all week. We might even cross paths at one of the industry mixers. Relic is lucky to have you on-board.

Fixed!

I love Relic games. Everything from Homeworld to Dawn of War to Company of Heroes. Congrats on the move, sock.

Mate, you don't need luck to find a Gaudí house...

The Hungarian Parliament Building


This magnificent landmark is the crowning jewel in the architectural landscape of the city of Budapest with a symmetrical Neogothic facade, a sea of windows on all sides and a towering dome in the middle. (Plus it is free to get inside if you are from the EU)

@Noruen, I know what you mean, I have been to Prague/Czech Republic and seen some of the gothic stuff there. I just need to dig out all my old photos and see if any of it can be arranged into an album.
@skinNCNmaster, Barcelona is dripping with Gaudi godlike design, you cannot miss it.
@wattro, it would be cool to meet up and put a face to the nick.
@obsidian, Kat, thanks.

Trying my hand at some of this cool architecture

Damn, I didn't bring my surf board.

lol, I can definitely picture a little Tony Hawk model riding around in that, Kaz.

Kaz, don't use black to fill the empty space of your foliage, use the average colour of your leaf, otherwise mipmapping iwll mess it up and leave you with a black outline (as above).

I think those are from the multiplant model pack, not his own work.

The plants look odd sitting in the middle of nowhere.

Also, try to fix those seams between patches. Maybe play around with alphaMod and see if you can get hide of some of those seams by blending some other layer on top.

Actually, you're both wrong - it's my model and I'm using green as the backdrop for my texture. So ha!
Odium: I do need to increase the brightness of the surrounding green, it will look better when the plant is properly lit.
Obsidian: They are going to be placed somewhere in there, I'll be sure not to stick them right in the middle however. I moved them there after adding some of the patches. I'll fix the patch seams as well.

how very Riven

a game ive not had the chance to play yet.

My monitor is set up great, yet that shots near black...?

observant as always. skybox light and torches so far.. its dark yes, skybox is dim..


light needs a reason to be there.. so adding lights for no reason.. is not an option. as the rest of the details go in.. te lighting will improve.. is has already vastly.. a few torches here and there to add light in the dark places.

shot: snear=black

little 47 strength yellow lights for the torches..

maybe a sun spot might help.. comparison wip shortly. your monitor is fortunate and this shot is not.

Personal gardening taken too far ...

SHIT, this bro got a tree on his house!
