Modeling/Art non-related to Amnesia / SOMA

Updated the texture and spec (so it's not as metallic) of the rock I posted a bit back. Any and all feedback are nice. I can't say I'll fix this sculpt, but I will keep it in mind for the next.

Spoiler below!

I personally still think it looks a little to planar. It's not terrible, but it really reminds me of crystals, I.E.- Quartz.

You did a better job with the texture, perhaps you could add more bump to it and make it look like it has a ton of deformations/ granular/ worn bits. It'll make it look older and more like rock. Right now, to me, it looks too much like plastic.

Here's some WIP I've been working on for the past 3 days...

Amazing ship, dude! With maya I don't make anything well, to be sincere. Do you know that I could make something similar in Blender? I can be your Space-shiper if you want :3

You could make anything similar in any program. You just need to know how to use the program and you need to have good concepts/ good ideas laid out first. I knew how I wanted this ship to look, so I modeled it from 1 view (not easy). I only had the side view.


On a similar note, Maya's modeling tools, from what I experienced, are better than Blenders. 3DS MAX's are better than both, BUT, if you know how to use Blender really well, and you know all the shortcuts/ what each tool does/ etc., then it's a good tool to use. If you don't know how to use it, keep modeling more simple characters and objects until you get the hang of it.

My model only has 4716 triangles on it. That's relatively low poly for a model like this, and you can totally see that. Now if this were a model from Gran Turismo, the model would be nearly 500,000 triangles.
