Hey everyone, this is just something I made messing around with Wings3D:

Made a barrel, all in the name of making artwork for my game. However boring making said artwork might be...

http://s87776868.onlinehome.us/barrel.jpg

Texture is photosourced, obviously. I'd start a new thread for my environment pieces if they weren't all so bloody small.

[hobodactyl]

Noel, I am am excited to see more about your game; often the first thing to fall through on independent games is the artwork, so it's nice to see your dedication to working on it, even (or especially!) on the boring stuff.

This is something i'm working on my freetime. It's a king pet cat. Need a lot of more work, the head needs way more details, then finish up the armor, clothes, fur....

Dug this one out once again becauser the face was still bugging me. Still does but it's getting close.

[Darksun]

Johnny those (i think) are rolled edges on the armor. They are probably there to give a sense of realism (plate armor with rolled edges was/is much safer) not so much as a decorative detail. they aren't supposed to be big.

[Weiser_Cain]

Too much forehead

[MoP]

KDR_11k: I think the face looks fine, but you wanna take a look at that ear, and also the jawline and neck just below the ear. That's the area that looks screwed up.
Nice style on the hair.

[KMan]

Yeah, the concept for that big demon was by Mr. Chris Anderson. Joshuathejamesomgshaw did the concept for this big nugget man.

Both of these bosses run in at about 3k tris, and 3-4 512x512's. They are WAAY too big in game though, but there is nothing I can do about that. I painted them at double res, so there is room for an upgrade later on if they choose to.

I've been wrapping up the latest expansion to SWG. I helped to build Mustafar, the lava planet from Ep3. I did all the special fx on the planet as well as the lava, and environment fx. Built a bunch of the dungeons as well as their fx and world built most of the interiors too.

the trailer and most of the shots dont show the final lava that is in the game now. it's a few steps beyond what you do see there, but you get a good idea of what's going on.

[Weiser_Cain]

Cool beans Mop I love it, that goes in my steal um, inspiration folder. Why are all your meshes triangled?

[Noel Cower]

I'm pretty sure that's because the majority of engines use triangle strips for rendering. Plus, engines don't typically store anything other than triangle indices.

[Jerome]

http://img430.imageshack.us/img430/1236/mcbcgrosslegs7sa.jpg
im working on a model of Master Cheif Bat Commander, a guy from the Aquabats. Its my first real unwraped(not fully) and textured model ever. I am up to his ankles and i made them too white, and hairy too, so it looks disgusting! but im fixin it.

[MoP]

Weiser_Cain, I always triangulate my meshes if they're not for sub-division or highpoly stuff. I tend to leave them in quads when "roughly" working an area, so that i can select loops and rings and stuff, then when i think the geometry is getting close to final, i flip edges and triangulate it all so I can see all the edges and keep the flow neat and ordered. It also helps for defining the gouraud shading in the best way possible. I dunno, I guess I could leave it all in quads and edit the triangulation manually... I just like seeing them all as solid edges :P

This is also nice when you start rigging and animating. Edit Poly's shading smooths out the middle edges on the polygons and thus hides the collapsing of the geometry sometimes. Triangulating the mesh makes these areas much easier to see and fix.

Haha the scrooge bust is really cool, I like the little spectacles and sideburn planes :P The collar is looking a little "granny" to me though, maybe sharpen the corners like a more conventional guy's collar?

Unless you wanted to preserve the neutral pose, maybe you could try pushing the slightly sour expression he has around the mouth, there's a bunch of character there already though imo.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v668/killnpc/NMfun04.jpg

Bronco:
you'll need to make your mesh all quads and distribute your mesh more evenly (less detail for the eye and ear area). there is a tri on your dude's shoulder and the n-gons on the gask mask won't fly well when you divide the mesh in zbrush.

[Equinoxx]

very cool stuff guys.

Vitor, isn't that head overly 'dense' for game-art ?
I don't know nowadays, I'm not in game-art myself so I just tend to do what 'looks' right so I might be talking outa the rear-ende when asking that hehe

and ofcourse some more Bob
added a shirt that i need to attach to the rest of the body.
I tend to build a naked model first and then cloth it.

yo rockstar.. kenneth scott called me today.. he said get your own style..
haha.. just kidding..
haha..no im not..

looks good man.. i really like the harder forms in there.. the way they fit together is really nice.. i want to like the detaily stuff.. but its just too much i think.. maybe not too much, just the detail dosent seem to serve a purpose other than just being detail.. almost like people that put noise on their textures casue they dont know what else to do with the space.. so its this evenly distributed bumpaly dumpaly goober foo foo joo joo..but the overall design of dude is awesome.. i just think the noisyness takes away from some of the more interesting forms..

jackablade: I had most of the stuff on 5, but i went up to 6 just cuz I could and added more "detail" /images/graemlins/smile.gif ur thing is cool, I like the face, but the body needs work, his tits are really strange, pulled the the side, also get some reference for arms.

[Renaud Galand]

awesome _Shimmer !

[EarthQuake]

KDR: it was inspired by some of katsuya terada's work, so its not based on any ref of a real person or anything, i guess i have a tendency to model things a certain way that i like, which is probably why she looks similar.

[EarthQuake]

Looking back at the last one this is actually VERY similar to it, odd how that happens looking at completely different inspiration/ref/style stuff and it turns out almost exactly the same proportions. Just more cute/stylized/better overall =D

[LordScottish]

Coming along nice _shimmer!

@Vitor: I'd try some color variation, some red, blue or even yellowish parts may help. I'd also already paint some slight highlights on the diffuse map, that's what I do most of the time.

I just finished a normal map texturing exercise. I tried to get more information on the diffuse map than on other normalmap models I've done. Not happy with the eyes, I'll work on them some more.

The Doom3 specular is added to the diffuse so keep it at very low values.

[hobodactyl]

Hey Vitor, I really like your model, but the texture has some problems. The main thing is the wrinkle lines don't seem to follow the face contours correctly. Just google up some old guy's faces to fix that. Also, consider adding some more age splotches and whatnot to his face. I think those things and a little more contrast in the texture would really make it look good.

[EarthQuake]

Yep model is cool but i think the texture really lets it down.

very badass eq. this is my favorite from you so far! finish! sdk! sdk!

[sinistergfx]

EQ: That's pretty cool, the topology is pretty good but won't allow for smile lines when animated. I think you'll also run into a similar problem with the eyebrows.

It looks like you based the topology only on the muscles and didn't account for fat and skin folds.

You may not intend for this to be animated, but I find that you'll represent the forms more easily/efficiently/accurately when you follow "animatable" topology.

Maybe I'll do a paintover of what I mean later.

[JKMakowka]

Listen to sinistergfx, he knows what he is talking about.

Otherwise: The upperlip seems to be overly pronounced, and overall it seems to look very child-like (dunno if that was your intention).

Yeah the childlike cuteness is intentional, i've never done any facial animations so i dont know about any of that stuff and i probably wont animate her but a paintover would be cool dude.

kinda agree with JKMakowka, but well, we don't care. The important thing is that the head is way to big atm /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Exept that, I really like your modeling /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[ewooz]

Nicely modeled Eq, but there is one thing! No offense man, but she's got the neck of a bodybuilding testosterone-broiling man, she could possibly pull trucks with it! Otherwise it's great.

[EarthQuake]

Well shes inspired by anime so thats why i went with the childish facial features, and the head very well may be too bit ill look into that when i have the legs done so i can check it properly. Will also take a look at the neck too it does look a bit wide now that you mention it.

[perna]

EQ, I told you this but you're a blind fool. I just want to make it public, with respect to eventual legal proceedings in the future. She's an early teen chubby, and it's all good BUT that deflated no-fat stomach belongs nowhere near her bodytype dude, it's not attractive or does it make any sense. Hey, what happened to THIS (http://www.planetquake.com/polycount/cottages/crash/earthquake/animeface05.jpg) ? That makes her look like some awesome african warrior princess, if I were you I'd really go with that( or r u 1 fool?!)

[gauss]

i vote for blind fool personally.

/images/graemlins/laugh.gif looking good EQ, whichever way you take it

[MoP]

Per and JKMakowka are right on the money... the head model is nice, and the torso model is nice... but they don't fit together at all. The head is young-looking and not slim, the body seems at least a good 5-10 years older (in terms of development) than the face, and that stomach/ribcage area... well, that just doesn't happen on women who aren't fairly unhealthy.

Makk optimise! I would suggest model in loops too, the grid modeling thing really isnt suited for heads, i mean it works... But you should learn to make good loops.

EQ, I like her, bigger butt/hips please, to keep possbilities open.

[gauss]

mr smo: building a spacecraft is always it's own reward, you need not a reason!

looking good EQ, the neck adjustments finally put her where she should be. looking lovely.

[MoP]

looking good EQ, the shoulders seem very squashed though, especially towards the top. also, the thong really should not be indenting into her flesh that much. that'd just be painful... she hardly even has any fat around there, so it'd be extra painful!

[ewooz]

Nice one EQ, although her thong looks really mega tight since her skin is indented to the degree it is. Unless you want it to be a certain amount of fat under her skin in that area.

[Makkon]

Hmm, for some reason EQ's pic isn't showing for me. I'd like to see it, unless it contains nudity (I can get my internet revoked for even the smallest thing....)

I'll work on those loops, EQ, thanks /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[KDR_11k]

Makkon: That depends on which picture you mean. The girl? Yup, exposed nipples. The "abstract crap"? No nudity to be found.

This tread is turning crazy good. Los that is amazing. Incredibly modeled.

EQ I love that chick!

[JKMakowka]

Ok I am probably making myself an enemy here, but you really need to alter the face of that girl, EQ.

It is technically really well build and all, but the face looks like that of a 5 year old at best /images/graemlins/confused.gif

Please alter it, I am begging you.

Edit: And no, it doesn't look 'Anime-young' at all, it looks 'real-kindergarden-young'!

[Johny]

let it be if he wants it like that let him, i mean hes doing this for fun , why ruin his fun ? if he applies profissionaly with the model he will get and surely hear the critics, but cmon, just let him work for christ sake...

Los , incredible, now make an awesome texture !!!!

[JKMakowka]

You are right, but just in case he is in that phase 'have been looking at the mesh for so long that I can't make out even obvious errors any longer' I wanted to make it very clear.
Also why turn away potential employers with 'questionable' stuff like that, if he can fix it before showing it to a company? (given he is even looking for a job)

[EarthQuake]

JK: Shes supposed to look young, and not like 18 young, more like.... 14 15? Some of the features are a little exagerated(tits and ass) but oh well, i've definately seen girls that young with tits that big =D I think its a little silly to say she looks like shes 5. But you're right, im definately to the point where i dont really see errors very well anymore so even if i wanted to change it i couldnt, it would just look wrong to me. You really dont need to worry about my employment situation thats under control man.

Thanks to all you guys who've said you like her so far too =)

[EarthQuake]

looking great fuse, i would add a edge loop under the nose so you dont get bad vertex shading there

[MoP]

pretty cool stuff here again!

Fuse: How old is this "kid" meant to be... when I read "kid" I think about 15 years or younger. This mesh seems too old to me, mainly because the eyes are too small, and the jawline is too hard and defined. Basically at the moment it's looking more like a generic guy than an actual kid.

Sketch done during a boring class....

I've got no scanner so I simply took a picture of it with my camera. Alot of the detail is lost and its kinda blurry... ah well...

EQ: thanks for the tip, i'll look into that

Mop: well what i am trying to accomplish is a boy with somewhat mature/rugged look but still resemble the boyish proportions and looks at the same time, kind of a mix of a realistic boy/stylized character... i agree that he does look more mannish than boyish i will try to resolve his face more /images/graemlins/smile.gif

http://www.planetquake.com/polycount/cottages/crash/earthquake/walken03.jpg

[Prs-Phil]

Hey EQ, looking cool, clean mesh as we are used to /images/graemlins/smile.gif, but I think the mouth needs to come out a bit more (lips also look flat) and the cheekbones are a tad bit to small.

The part from the ear to the "jaw-edge-thingamagiga" (got to get my terminology freshed up /images/graemlins/wink.gif ) also seems a bit off (long ?!), even for that style.

Maybe you can also change the proportion of the face a bit, all parts are nearly exactly the same length.

I like his sleepy look /images/graemlins/smile.gif, keep up the good work.

[Steakhouse]

It looks a bit like Lovecraft EQ.

[Ramucho]

no it looks like a wallen caricature!

Edit: damn forgot the "k" /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[EarthQuake]

Ramucho is right, its a walken caricature. based off this painting here, if someone remembers the guys name who did this or has a higher res version this let me know, i know one was posted on 4chan but i forgot to save it =(

I recognise that painting. Someone famous you wouldn't think is a painter, painted it. I'm trying to dig up the URL...

[diZzyWalnut]

http://www.miseryproduction.com/divers/dolly.jpg

Isn't that paintin by aq guy called kruger or something?
I really hate myself for not remembering his name, but it looks a lot like his style...

And i was right, as well:
http://www.krugerstars.com/extract/Images/506604FC4AADED6D85256E9D00188A91_$FILE.gif
Sebastian kruger.
I think that, for you to make your model look more like the picture, you'd have to deform his head a lot more. Or just dump the reference, because i really like what you've got now. Very characteristic, but that's what you get when you reference a charicature /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Something about the way his wang connects to his groin bothers me, I always seem to comment on your model's wangs... Anyway yeah, looking really improved man, nice work. Maybe soften up the transition halfway down the forearm, I like the legs. What's with them floating blobs?

Cheers.

[CheapAlert]

those blobs are his bracers

i've revised the wang since the render, its alot better now. I also have corrected more porportions. pics later heh

[JKMakowka]

The feet need a lot of work. But to be honest: I think the problem is in the design.
There are no real existing living beeings, that have human style legs and the same time claw like feet. And evolution 'knew' what it was doing, because it doesn't make sense /images/graemlins/wink.gif

I know that this particular (2D) gargoyle design has these strange feet, but I would definitly change the design to either more human feet, or a 'backwards' animal like leg-design.

[CheapAlert]

the feet are next. hopefully i'll wrap this up by the middle of the week. please note that i haven't touched the feet at ALL in the high poly mesh

http://www.planetgargoyle.com/models/fb40.jpg
http://www.planetgargoyle.com/models/fb38.jpg

And no, i'm not changing the design. Firebrand always had these feet, actually they're rather clawed humanish feet, with less toes. oh and also he usually wears bracers around there so that should help "interpolate" it /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[Johny]

he seems like an action figure , but much more exageratted
