• Contestant: Ben Clancy / @BenArt Assessor: Tristan McGuire / @Draconic_Cowboy Tier: Rising Star Congrats on completing your project! Things that went well: ✧ Nice in-depth research that came together to form a very unique concept. ✧ Great use of multiple high-level skills like VDM brushes. ✧ Dramatic final renders. ✧ Detailed documentation. Things to consider next time: ✧ This model could have used much fewer texture sets/UDIMs. For example, the upper head, face, jaw and teeth would be best to be all on the same texture (you can keep them as separate models). The wings could have been symmetrical and shared a texture set. ✧ Varying the roughness more would increase the realism of the skin. ✧ The emotive nature of the final renders is great, but it is best to also include some more neutral images where the full character is visible from all angles, so that it is easier to see the whole character. Take a look on ArtStation at the ways professionals present their work and draw some inspiration from that. 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!
