I want to be encouraging to any new artist…”yeah go for it”, but sometimes you have to be realistic. Fallout doesn’t require high end modeling and texturing skills, animation is another issue, but these works are hundreds of hours away from being even Fallout acceptable. By acceptable I mean something that fits in naturally with the games vision and artistic style. Now if Prosper is at the start of his/her critter building endeavors – then I say – “good try, keep working at it” – but if Prosper considers these Fallout ready, then I’m sorry to say – “no they’re not”. If the games original critters were of that standard, then I wouldn’t even bother playing the game in the first place. Remember when people first started transferring Fallout Tactics critters into Fallout 2, it was identified that the two games aesthetics were completely different - (Tactics critters were built by professional game artists).
I’m all for people being creative and having the energy to contribute to this excellent game, but please be realistic Prosper, drop using ZBrush (I’m assuming the blob monsters were built with it) and pick up 3D Max and learn the software properly (polygon modeling). Start from the beginning and do all the tutorials, take up drawing and if you are truly serious, then in about a year from now you will have something excellent to show us, and we will all be grateful for it. I’m not trying to stomp on your balls…I’m trying just to give you some worthwhile advice.
By the way how old are you, and where are you based – just curious.
