Judge feedback

• Contestant: Eve Callaghan / @eve_maya Assessor: Tristan McGuire / @Draconic_Cowboy Tier: Rising Star Congrats on creating something for the competition! It is clear that this entry is unfinished, so feedback can only be quite limited. But I am so glad to see you did submit an entry. I appreciate how tough it can be when unforeseen circumstances impact your work, so well done on still managing to submit your WIP. Things that went well: ✧ Really thorough explanation of influences and design choices. ✧ Great iteration of the concept. ✧ Nice to see some quite advanced tools being used (Marvelous Designer, Zbrush curves). ✧ Good understanding of topology ✧ Nice UV unwrap. Things to consider next time: ✧ The high poly is very good for your level. To advance it further, think about how to add more secondary forms that make the model feel more alive. ✧ Try to avoid unnecessary triangles on the mesh. It’s not that triangles are completely forbidden, it’s just best to use them only when necessary and stick to quads for the majority of the organic forms. ✧ To take your UVs to the next level, try straightening the edges of the UV shells where possible so that you can maximise the use of the texture space even further. It can also help to straighten the fingers (time consuming, but worth it). As you are in the Rising Star tier, I hope this feedback can be used to inform how you approach future university projects and I would love to see you take part in the competition again next year! You can find me on the social medias in the link below. Feel free to reach out in the future. All the best! https://draconic-cowboy.carrd.co/ - Tristan, Character Artist at Airship Interactive.
