Resident Evil + N7 Day Special
Added 2024-10-19 21:05:39 +0000 UTC
Two things today. First, I'm almost 100 images in to the latest RE4 set. I wasn't sure whether or not to post some teasers but thought I'd hold off as I plan to have the set out within the next three days. So I'll keep the antcipation going.
On to N7 Day which is coming up. My plan is to do a Mass effect set but go kinda big with it. Years ago I did a set with Liara called 'Negotiations'. Although the quality is crap, the concept is really good. So I'm going to expand on the idea by adding in more characters and aliens.
Over the years I've had a lot of requests for more Mass Effect aliens to be used, and I've said that the main hurdle is the quality of said models. Many of them are using textures from Mass Effect 2 from 2010 - so we're talking like 14 year old textures. Chucking them in a super-realistic renderer such as Cycles just brings out their low-res look even more.
However, if I use them in a sort of rapid fire set where I do a few poses with one alien before moving onto the next, I can limt the poor quality and make it less jarring.
So, for example instead of having like 70 images with a Volus, I just do 8 or 10, then move on to a section with the Hangar etc.
I think that by doing it this way I can use more aliens that I would usualy ignore due to their quality and lack of poses I can do.
If there are any aliens, you'd want to see, let me know here. The Vorcha are out though. I tried an image with them 2 weeks ago and they looked, really, really, really, REALLY bad. So I'll be ruling them out I'm afraid unless I can find a better model for them.
Cheers,
