And a quick video:
The colours are more like the ones in the image above, I just muffed up with the video. I think this pink is better colour wise as its nearer my original idea of using softer colours, I just need to play a little more with the finished bump maps. When it comes to making the actual scenery I need to make it much bigger so the details are a little subtler maybe?
Next, I need to do some rough cells in Maya! I can't spend all my time playing with bump maps!
yes - this much less 'visceral' and 'David Cronenberg' - but the texturing tells us it's the human body - without disgusting us. I think perhaps you should try 'chalkier' colours; knock out the sugary pink, and go for something more in keeping with the parchment/putty colours in Ohara Koson's stuff - think 'water colour' - colours built up from layers of translucency - also, it's the 'shine' you want to knock back a bit - there's something very matte or 'satin' about watercolours etc. that won't produce that wet, 'squishy', glossy, plasticky quality that is at odds with your aesthetic.

Ahhh! Awesome! Thank you! That's a massive help!
ReplyDeleteI'll finish off this rough B cell and get on it :D
Hi Molly you have a bit of pixelation going on in your textures, you can sort that by increasing the resolution of your bump map or reduce the bump depth.
ReplyDeleteYeah I didn't know how to fix that! Would I literally just make an image in photoshop with a higher resolution and then fit it to the UV? Resolution is the amount of pixels not the size of the image right?
ReplyDeleteThat looks great Molly
