Just a Hell scene. Meant to be the more primal inner layer where all the souls that couldn't win slave jobs with the demon lords stay. Whether the slaves are luckier than these guys is debatable.

NTA but that's brutal, these are souls not even demons wanna slave over so they just get nailed on a cross for all of eternity? I wonder what kind of people they'd have to be, perhaps people so bland in life that demons would rather not have around, incapable of amusing their twisted sense of humor

>>1017714
Yeah, that's the idea. Kinda like the filth from Ultrakill, just so dull and bland that they aren't even worthy to be maltreated slaves. Although, considering the job positions (holding up the throne of a 2000 pound demon, being dinner, being a public toilet, etc etc), getting your charred half-dead corpse nailed to a cross on a lava lake doesn't sound so bad by comparison.

here is the basic concept for it, instead of the tweak bones facing out, switch their direction so the tail its in the middle and then using 1 non-deform bone between the bicep and forearm that stretches and compresses i can get a compression scale for how close the forearm and the bicep are to each other, and then i copy that scale at various tiny amounts to the "tweak" bones to pull back the bones in the biceps/upper forearms, then using the same reference you can do x2 copy scales and isolate each axis to get compression on the X, and expansion on the Z to get the impression of the arm muscles working for example. then you need a second row of bones just slightly offset to counteract what the original arm bones are doing in some places. so as the original might expand on the X to bulge out the triceps, you might want to counter on the X on the inside to and compress for the deformation effect.

then in the pit of the elbow i have x3 bones at the point of the arm/forearm, 1 parented to the arm, 2nd to the forearm, 3rd parented to either one and then copies the transforms of the other to get an average again, and the "counter" bones mentioned earlier that are closest to the center will track to the 3rd bone. This 3rd bone will also get a copy scale from the middle compressing to pull in the counter bones, play with the copy transforms/scale influence to create the curve you want when the arm compresses, at 0.5 it will create a straight line. For this part I also split the 3rd bone in 2 parts, the bottom one will reverse the "pull" effect but will have a scale limit to stop it halfway until the top part retracts and folds in again, this is to create the effect of skinny arms where the pit will stretch out before collapsing.

the shoulder is simple for now, just a def bone pointing backwards to the collarbone/shoulder starting 1/4 of the way down the topmost arm bone, trying to make a mechanical clavicle now

I hope some of that made sense

the backwards bone on the shoulder, doesnt have to be backwards it can be doing that in either direction, its a simple solution to shoulders

>>1017767
oh and the elbow just copies the rotation of the 3rd bone but has a "flat" bone at the top because elbows are not pointy but create a flat "top" when stretched all the way, thats all that does by again copying the scale of the compression bone and isolated on the Y, bits on the end just point back to the either ends of the arm for smoothness

Boolets.

Finding the actual dimensions for some of these was surprisingly difficult and at times I seriously questioned whether I had nailed the right ones and wasn't giving some of these cartridge types completely wrong proportions. If any /k/ommando sees anything off feel free to give me a shout, but I'm fairly certain they got the right sizes.
Also gadayum modeling the .50 BMG makes you realize how ridiculously huge they are, a fucking horsecock sized chunk of lead traveling at 1000m/s. Nutty.
It was also interesting to discover the 5.7 is like a mini 5.56, you know those bottleneck shaped bullets which are normally used for rifles. It's nice when a hobby makes you get further insight on the real world, it's educational

You mean on the dude's actual body right, like under the jacket? That's correct, there are no arms under it (except for the forearms, there's still some of those left hidden in the sleeves, full hands too, so that I can remove gloves easily if I want to), I was inspired by Bethesda Games' way of handling clothing for their characters

The overhead fan does a lot for the lighting in the scene. Really I think everything it looks like you cared about is done well, simple assets could be more interesting like with the way this guy chops his cutting board should be beat up. But like I said that doesn't sound like your priority.
I think you could add some light under the stockpot, either flames or an emissivie red coil and improve it with that easy enough though

>>1018360

Originally that was the case, but then the knife flip into stabbing the board motion looked too jerky and non-organic if that makes sense? Probably just a skill issue but I couldnt make it look right with cuts going the other way.

Nope it's not that. There's a really clear join even when the verts are merged and it's in solid view. I just can't work it out.

Working on the character for the next challenge right now, hard surface modeling for the first time in like 600 hours of blender, shit is impossible. The armor is supposed to be inspired by insect chitin plates. Looks too thin for my liking but really not sure how to make it look bulkier, would love any suggestions or advice if you guys got any.

Also tried making a Mignola shader (just a simple color ramp) but also combined it with the bsdf to preserve some of the metallic look of the armor plates, doesnt look the way I want it to. Is there a way to only mix certain properties of the BSDF through mix shader? I want just the roughness and metallic properties.

I started measuring everything correctly, like the computer loosely based on a Macintosh Quadra 700, but then at the end i just eyeballed everything.

>>1018462
nice. clock and the smaller sticky notes still look a bit off, but not crazy.
u got any resources/tuts on doing this sort of style?

>>1018471
I watched several tutorials but all of them were kinda crap and didn't helped to what i wanted to achieve so i just experimented.

I think the key points that make at least this render work is the noise modifiers applied to the freestyle pass so it's not completely uniform, the bloom/glare of course, the tonemapping on the compositor, and being more deliberate with the colors of the highlights and shadows rather than letting the environment/light decide. All the materials is just a basic toon shader (diffuse > shader to rgb > color ramp) with some having some slight adjustements inbetween and chosen colors for the color ramp.

>>1018315
>>1018316
On the bright side, if you aren't going to palettize, why not just put them as mipmaps in a DDS file, and have a setting in your game for the highest resolution mipmap allowed? They all look good, btw.

>>1018379
Is the one in the background (presumably, the backside of the foreground one), meant to evoke the nuclear symbol? If so, that's a cool secondary image. Although the pitch black color is a bit distracting. I might lighten it slightly. Over all reminds me of C&C Generals.

The sharp, square shoulders clash with the character design and presumable fabric choice, makes for unpleasant silhouette so I'd soften those but still keep the overall "square" shape you're going for.

>>1018535
This is more style critique but imo the head proportions feel a little too squashed and flat on top. It might need a small vertical scale upwards and/or rounding the top of the head in the center like a real head. Quick and dirty resize, I think the happy medium is somewhere closer to yours but slightly taller.

From drawing anatomy, I start with the eyes or the brow ridge roughly on the midpoint between the chin and top of the head for realistic/semi realism. Different styles play with this proportion but it felt a bit too short on the top side in the closeup.

If you analyze faces by making a triangle between the bottom of the lips and outer eye bounds, that triangle is a small portion of the overall frontal facial plane view. The cheek planes are rather large which I think could be balanced out by more mass in the brain case or lowering the eyes/nose a little and scaling down. As they are now, it indicates to our human senses a much larger skull so it looks a bit uncanny although it does indicate the character's presumed personality.

That's almost certainly the reason. You could try to set up a very low power light behind the vehicle. That should lighten those areas slightly without having too much or any effect on the other sides of the vehicle. But truthfully, it's quite a minor issue, and I don't think players of your mod are likely to find it jarring.

>>1018541
Very aesthetically pleasing. Is that a toilet plunger in the bustle? You might consider adding another smoke launcher on the other side of the turret. I would also set the sides of the tubes to smooth shading. Over all very nice.

Trying to git gudder at making depth-based textures entirely in GIMP. It's gotten a lot easier since the 3.0 update since you can make an edit and have a stack of filters update in real time.
The background pattern is completely procedural, being a bayer matrix and maze put through a kaleidoscope, median blur, and bevel. I change the seed on the maze and get a completely different pattern.
