Title: Robot thing
Post by: Izidune on April 26, 2008, 02:50:04 am
Hi.

I really don't know how to improve upon this. I know it's crappy, but I don't know how to make it any better. I'm absolutely horrible at shading, but this is supposedly metal except for that one blue part that's a window.

Sorry man but I don't even know what it is :(, and thats probably the biggest problem that can appear. You say it's some kind robot? Is it a part? Arm, head? Or is it a whole machine? Tell us what it is because, sadly, I can't help you at this point.

If you want to know how to achieve some good metal texture and other various materials, you could take a look at: http://www.itchstudios.com/psg/art_tut.htm (also avaible in the Tools, Resources and Linkage thread).

Sorry for the extremely long wait; I forgot about this.

I tried a new concept, and it seemed to work a little bit better; nonetheless, this is a robotic, hovering drone/tank of sorts.

I'm still horrible at defining metal, however. I keep reading that article, and it baffles me.

there was once explanation but error deleted it,
one determination but the hours defeated it.
