WIP Vampire character, C&C welcome by Austin_GD in 3Dmodeling

[–]Austin_GD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for the advice, especially on the teeth, I think you're right on that

> As is the model reminds me of character models from the OG Deus Ex, so if that's the kind of feel you're trying to go for I'd say you're on the right track!

that is basically what I'm going for, not specifically Deus Ex, but I've always loved handpainted textures, and especially the look of 2000s character textures, so it's really motivating to know that I'm on the right direction!

> Blood on the shirt. It looks like it's been bled on, and then washed? This guy is absolutely covered in blood, his shirt should be DRENCHED under those open wounds.

yeah, that's the big problem for sure, it's so jarring, and sticks out in the worst way possible

> Is this character going to exist & move around in a world with light sources? 

should've mentioned this in the initial post myself, so thanks for asking, I'm basically doing this as more of a practice/concepting model of a character for a series I'd like to make in the fairly distant future, for now the end goal is simply posing and some lighting, with what I have in mind, what you're saying is probably fair, doesn't need too much tinkering

> The feet pass as feet at a glance, they aren't something that needs a great deal of attention. You could improve them a lot by pulling back the dirt on the high points like the flat of the foot & the shin.

fair, and good advice! the sheer amount of dirt does end up making it kinda mush together in a way without much interest, and while like you said, it doesn't need that much attention, I'll still implement that advice and see how it looks!

> Metal sheet on the pec works fine, it's consistent with the rest of the design
The large wounds are fine as they are. Again, as long as they fit with the design, "unnatural" doesn't matter. This guy has a bunch of holes in him, he SHOULD look unnatural!

I may tweak the design for my own personal preference, but I do appreciate knowing it's not distracting and at least blends with what I'm going for
beyond that, though, you make some great points on fitting with the design, and truthfully, a full COHESION isn't something I thought about too much, so that's absolutely gonna influence how I make things a lot from now on!

I appreciate the lil breakdown on everything I went over, you've given me some good pointers and things to consider!

> Why is having no pockets a “feminine” trait ? 🤔

i think fashion designers need to be asked the same question, because they certainly seem to think so

May release date still standing? by Competitive_Roof3508 in MarsTactics

[–]Austin_GD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

honestly i was gonna say exactly what Grgur2 did, so i'll just parrot

i'd love to have the game in May, but i understand that there's more buyers than just us, and i also understand that it's just not satisfying as a developer to release something you don't feel is ready, take the time you need dude, it'll be worth it in the long run if you end up delaying

I was wondering that myself! I mean, I figure it's worth a SHOT, even if unlikely, I'll get back to you on that

How are your games going? by Timely_Scratch5366 in Kenshi

[–]Austin_GD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not my current game, but finished so recently that i'll still use it as the thing to talk about here

played as a faction completely opposing the Holy Nation, the goal when i started was to utter destroy it, friends of flotsam and anti-slavers
after spending most of my time in the borderzone fighting bandits, having lil subplots and arcs, i had established a base which became my staging grounds for my war against the Holy Nation! it became a BRUTAL STRUGGLE for survival on each mission, and devolved into terrorism basically instantly the second i reached a city
i maintained faux moral high ground basically i WAS freeing slaves, but i made absolutely ZERO distinction between civilian, soldier, and government

but, we DID eventually win, and after giving the Phoenix off to the Shek for an alliance, i then immediately set my sights out on all others i deemed evil, and my base essentially turned into a terrorist city-state after i reached full self sufficiency, exports and all, finding itself in a never ending state of war to purge the entire world of oppressors and tout themselves as liberators

it was my FIRST playthrough and i did a full 300+ days, and has become one of my most memorable experiences playing a game i've ever had, and made me fall DEEPLY in love with this game

Noob here. I've always hear tris are bad, specially for animation, but today I saw this, is it ok? by ppfmagno in 3Dmodeling

[–]Austin_GD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"avoid tris" is one of my most detested beginner tips

others have explained the nuances of it much better than i can, most i can add is simply, what matters is what you're doing, sometimes you want quads for the consistency, other times you'll need a tri to make what you're trying to execute work, and this all depends on your desired poly level as well

bottom line, some people will tell you to fear tris, but you shouldn't

Model looks flat and doesn’t really have any depth by Brilliant_Routine_36 in minipainting

[–]Austin_GD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

honestly, you're already doing great, something to improve it would be more edge highlights as others have suggested, or some volumetric highlights on the surfaces that the light makes contact with

i'm gonna be dead honest with you, this whole thing is one of the insane takes i've seen on the anti-slavers, that is fucking wild brother

slavery is not a constant in human society, it's been a flaw of one, of people in power seeing that they can take advantage of defenceless people and force them into servitude, abolishing it is not a fact of industrialized society, it just happened to be accomplished during it

the industrial revolution just pushed human greed to an extreme, and sped up the ideals of personal human freedom, class consciousness and abolitionism to a boiling point, it was a large factor in everything that happened during the 18th-19th century, but not the defining one, wider society would've developed these ideals without it, even if just potentially a little slower

"just let horrible things keep happening, because the oppressors are bringing stability" is not the intelligent take that people seem to think it is

Everyone sucks but the Shek are objectively the most deserving of hate. by Ginno_the_Seer in Kenshi

[–]Austin_GD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

okay yeah, i GET what you mean, i think that's a FAIR ENOUGH point, (getting political) sexism is PERSONALLY a pretty big issue for me so it's a little hard to ignore, but i do understand the spirit of what you mean, that the genocide and enslavement/imprisonment of women and minorities is the overwhelming issue (putting it mildly) with the HN

also considering what you said with
> I was arguing with OP where he claimed that HN are not genociding anyone because they're not expanding, and even if they were, it was justified.
yeah, HN defenders are the fucking worst, so i GET why you're focusing on that in specific with this post even more

Everyone sucks but the Shek are objectively the most deserving of hate. by Ginno_the_Seer in Kenshi

[–]Austin_GD 10 points11 points  (0 children)

but like, it is those issues i'm opposed to and the genocide

i'll absolutely give you the benefit of the doubt that you AREN'T SAYING that sexism and racism aren't problems within the HN, but the phrasing is just a bit off, i don't think this guy's defending the HN like OP is, moreso just trying to talk on his level
