I should start do'n some 3d again. Nobody seems to care about concept drawings.

[MoP]

NoSeRider: On the contrary, I often find a well-drawn concept much more interesting and fulfilling to look at than a well-executed 3d model.
I would give that concept painting a little more contrast and edge definition to show it with more depth. It's lacking shadows where shadows should be. I'm guessing it's still WIP?

[adamBrome]

The purple in the background doesn't contrast teh character enough to make him pop out. I'd also put more emphasis on your edges like MoP suggested. GOod rendering though.. marker or digital?

Nice work JBoskma, lookin' cool. I'd add some more polys for definition around the shoulders (looks like the muscle above the bicep should be more defined), and also the back of the hand doesn't have enough curve, it looks very flat - take a look at your own hand, it kinda curves over on the top.
Cool character though.

AAhhh - the second shot of the devil (w/o the arms) - is a awesome design for a rubber/eraser - does looks a little like a disney satan who works as a milkman.

Just getting some more metal and wood texturing practice in. Haven't really painted many weapons or those materials before. Once again I didn't make the model, I just did the texture. This shot is just with a single 512x512 texture set to 100% self-illumination, default max lighting.

[Sean McBride]

Hollowmind: hey hey, I like it. Pretty good stuff but your going to want to change the wood texture on the end of the stock. Check other wooden stocked weapons. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Poop: Thats an awesome idea for a gift haha. I love it.

[Jerome]

the the stock, the wood grain curves, gain of wood doesn't do that:) it (i would assume) is from the texture stretching, look at the stock of a gun, and see how it looks. you might have to wrap it, but it'll look right.

btw, its cool lookin too

yeah he was an advisor to some tsar somewhere in the late 19th century

[mr.toast]

rasputin also has his 14 inch penis displayed in a museum (no joke)

he was also drugged, beaten, shot, and then finally drowned.

didnt he accidently fall into the river or somethin after all the attempts by the murders, then he drowned on his own

[Hollowmind]

n30g3n3s1s & Jerome: I tried to find some ref pics of what the stock looks like at the end of it and how the wood wraps around it. BTW, there's no stretching in the texture of the stock, that's the way I painted the wood grain to go on it. Like I said, I couldn't find any refs that show the end of it so I just guessed. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Tank Girl

http://www.guntharf.easynet.be/brol/tank_update02.jpg

[KevinCoyle]

I'm working on 3 character concepts and models for 3 characters I came up with for I game I was going to make a while back. 3 brothers, Krueg, Lugor, and Moktor, they're warriors who liberated their homeland from a evil mage-warrior who usurped their land and murdered their father, who believed he was his friend. Krueg and Lugor are twin brothers, they have the same father as Moktor but a different mother. Moktor is the older brother and leader of the group. Moktor was a Smith before the war, he wears armor and weilds a large axe he crafted himself. Krueg weilds his fathers sword and Lugor uses two smaller, lighter swords and practices martial arts disciplines.

Krueg Concept (photoshop) (http://www.sagaoflouvado.com/KruegPaint.jpg)
Lugor Concept (pen and prismacolor marker (http://www.sagaoflouvado.com/LugorConcept.jpg)

[Gmanx]

Ahhhhh...Tank Girl, I remember Deadline comics from my youth, and thinking Jamie Hewlitt's work was 'cutting edge'....hell...it still is (in my old addled brain anyway). Very true to form Renaud, makes me want to model the girl herself, with those ICBM boobies - Y'remember that one huh? huh?
KevinCoyle - I dont get why your Photoshop concept looks magnitudes better than the marker sketch, are you maybe a bit timid with the markers?
Good work though, and the model is looking pretty solidly grounded.
Adam, Love this test, I presume there's a lot of triangles in those streetlights huh? All I would say is that it looks a little clean, the ground surfaces that is.

[adamBrome]

Well the street lamps are - I think** - 6 sided cylindars sub-divided 5 times. (Just the pole itself, not the arm coming off with the light on it - I think I only did that 4 sided.

Yah, the sidewalks clean. I tried to break that up with some thrown-about news paper :\

[Irritant]

Adam that rocks...very nice.

[RageUnleashed]

Nice stuff Adam, only comment I have is that for such a small street corner, there's alot of street lamps! People in that town must not like shadows at night! ;D

[Eli_Heuer]

Adam, maybe it would help if you put some silhouettes in the windows? Like lamps, desks and that sort of thing.

Rage: Hehe yah. And you know, I did have it as 2 posts for awhile to see how I liked it and when I went back to 4 posts I seemed to like it more.

Eli: Damn dude, I really should of painted some silhouettes on the windows. I had the extra texture space to do so. Hmm, there's always next time I s'pose. Good idea /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

James: Haha thats what I'm here for man. Now imagine if I got the job! Pants cumming a go-go!

[spacemonkey]

That looks pretty good Adam. I think its too clean for my personnel tastes. Also just food for thought (since I dont work on enviroments/ havent applied for that type of work) but did you use any lightmaps on the model/vertex colours ? Lots of engines use lightmaps on the enviroments to add dark/light area's. Think global illumination bake (on autounwrap) laid over the scene, a similair thing is done with vertex colours too it just depends on how things are setup.
Another thing to consider is effects like Light cones (falloff gradient with alpha blend) to give the impression of light being emitted from a source. Think how those street lights would look with a sublt cone of light falling off from them, it would really help with the atmosphere.
These are things that an enviroment artist would have to deal with and it might be worth demonstarting in sperate renders that you would intend to utilise there type of features .. if they where supported in the engine. Keep going and you will crack it /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[adamBrome]

I don't know much about lighting so this was my first real time dabbing in that area. But yes, I wanted to do what you are talking about but hadn't a clue how.

[AfroLeft]

As soon as someone on these board mentioned that face tatoos are passe I've realised how often they are used (especially in commercial games). He was right, even though it suits the model it might be better with something different. (blame whoever said it, not me! /images/graemlins/smile.gif )

[JBoskma]

Model is pretty much done, time to start texturing:
edit: working on it

[iMag]

the upper body looks good, sadly those legs look horrible. I'd vote re-working the legs. I can't give suggestions on how at the moment, but they take away from the rest of the model in my opinion.

[MoP]

JBoskma: Yeah I agree with iMag, those legs don't really fit - it's like you haven't spent very long designing them compared to the body.
Also on the back of the hand - it's totally flat like a box with some subdivisions, pretty much same with the palm ... I think i mentioned it before but it should have more of a curve from side to side - make it look natural not like a box! /images/graemlins/smile.gif
Good work tho.

Phil: Danger Girl!!!! /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[FatAssasin]

JBoskma: I noticed the flat hands too, before I read Mop's post. Kind of disctracting. About the legs, I would try giving him real goat's legs and much bigger hooves. The tiny hooves don't seem like they can support his hugeness. But overall, it's got tons of personality and I really like it.

[adamBrome]

I love the model from the knees up. From the knees down it all looks wrong to me. The ange of the knee to shin is too sharp and doesn't seem to form properly with the smoothing.

Otherwise, awesome model.. love the work on the belt.

EDIT: Heh, I left the window open where you write a response to threads open for about 15 minutes. When I had it open your update was the last post. So thats why my C&C is written as if no one else had responded.

[JBoskma]

Sorry guys, need to move on. The double folded legs looked crap, so did the normal feet. This legs are refferenced of mr Incredible his legs, and I like them.

[adamBrome]

[/ QUOTE ]

Thought I'd comment on this as it seems others have glazed over it. You mentioned you're just blocking in the colours but I much prefer him as it is. Looks pretty good to me this way.. very cartoony, very nice. Perhaps SOME colour for some highlighting but otherwise he looks neat. Good job man :P

[MoP]

Boskma: "Gotta move on" ?

I think a few hours spent drawing out and modelling possible leg designs would be well worth it. Do you have a really tight deadline for this, or something?
IMHO some sort of legs like Sully off Monsters Inc. would suit this guy a lot better, the main problem with the legs he has at the moment are they really don't look like they'd hold his weight, not even in a cartoony way (like Mr Incredible style). I think big feet are definitely needed, or at least bigger hooves - those tiny ones just look stupid (and not in a funny way, just in a "wrong" way IMHO).
Also the legs are really far apart.
But hey, if you totally have to rush this and make it not as good as it technically could be, then, by all means go right ahead /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[JBoskma]

well It's more that I'm losing interest in the model, which is normal I guess. But I don't have any idea how else to do the legs.

[MoP]

I guess I meant something like this:
Dunno, I just think it suits him better and gives him a nicer balance.

http://grevesons.users.btopenworld.com/boskma.jpg

What do you think?
Fair enough if you're losing interest, it happens to us all ... but I think if you've come this far with the model and are gonna texture it too - you should try and make it as good as possible, yeah? /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[JBoskma]

yeah Mop you're right. Though I feel horrible, having to admit that your ideas are better.

[MoP]

Well, like I say, do a bit of drawing yourself - it's actually pretty fun to just paint over those renders with weird ideas /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I think another thing I didn't like about the previous version was how he had this massive belt and obvious trousers around the waist, and they just kinda... became part of the leg - you should keep the pants nice and baggy and obvious i think. Or make them shorts. Or even a skirt, lol /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[adamBrome]

I like MoPs legs but I liked the hoove idea you had Boskma. Perhaps mixing the 2 would be best? And MoPs right.. you've come far enough with the model to give it the attention it (now) deserves. Right? hehe.

[TechSmith]

he's one from last year that I'm redoing as hi-poly.

Shit as the image was loading I thought it was my precious Alita from Gunnm. Good model so far though dude. Looks rad..

[TechSmith]

Thanks Adam, She'll look even nicer when she gets some eyes and hair. Hopefully you'll still like her then.

[Sectaurs]

hey, thanks adam. the man paying the bills agrees with you, so not much more was done to the texture. here's a shot of where he's at now. need to add some teeth and a tongue.

hey! that reminds me of an idea I had where instead of people building nice maps to play in, they just made nice 'moving still life' scenes to put behind the menu. (see the background01 maps to see what I mean)
Things could happen over time in them (like the train going over the bridge in one of them, birds flying about etc.), there could be a little comp to see what one is the nicest.

i Got a question, should i leave the model like it is now in the below picture or should i add more verts and weld everything.

http://img139.exs.cx/img139/89/p22detail1fb.jpg

[MoP]

oDD: Doing it like that is perfectly fine. In fact it'll be easier to UV-map that way, too. And the vertex count will be lower with the way you have it now, which is good news for game engines.

http://mitglied.lycos.de/KDR_11k/pics/pimp/shot00010.jpg

Been trying Vahl's Doom 3 tutorial. Having a direct exporter from Blender is REALLY nice. No more POS3d!

And then there's this (http://mitglied.lycos.de/KDR_11k/pics/pimp/shot00004.jpg), which isn't worksafe and isn't entirely my creation (made a script for snapping a lowpoly mesh's vertices to a hipoly one's for better normalmap making, snapped one of my models to the geometry of that Aiko 3.0 basemodel and used that for normalmap generation).

I've tried to get the Doom 3 SDK to work but it doesn't compile and I don't know why (the list of errors is so long the first ones are scrolled out of my console's history by all the following ones and since this is C(++) the first ones are the only relevant ones as they usually cause all the others). Does the SDK not work with the MinGW32 or do I need some kind of external libraries? (or maybe I need to configure SCons some more)

It performs much faster on a full compile. I'm also running a GeForce 6800GT card, so that helps. I also have a water_lod entity in the level. This transitions the shader-based water for a much less expensive, texture-based water, according to the distance from the camera.

But other than that, the water seems to perform great in Source. It's the #1 most expensive effect for the engine, so I'm trying to make as few "expansive" bodies of water that I can. The gap in the river shown, is 50ft wide. There will be lots of turns and buildings though, to limit the water views.

[KDR_11k]

But fix that ugly seam in her face (by handpainting the normalmap in that area to a neutral level)

I was too lazy to render the map again, you can get rid of that effect by including the adjacent faces into the mesh that's sent off to ORB, that way the normals of the mesh used for normalmap generation match the normals of the mesh used ingame. Updated the pic to reflect this.

Fun fact: Doom 3 has an IK system that makes sure the feet are always (okay, only when they're supposed to be) on the ground, even on sloped surfaces or stairs. People have demanded this feature for a long time now, didn't they?

KDR - thats looking really nice , i may even have to play doom3 DM just to test it /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[KDR_11k]

Doom 3 doesn't support PPMs. Once I get the SDK to compile that might change but it doesn't look like that'll happen. Why is there no readme included that details what compiler and libraries you need? Apparently the gcc doesn't take it. The "Unknown precompiler command: #PRAGMA" sounds a bit like you need MSVC++ to compile it.

So, now this (http://mitglied.lycos.de/KDR_11k/pics/pimp/wip.jpg) (warning: "nude" basemesh) (do we have to keep this thread worksafe?) is my current project. I'm trying out box modelling and didn't get to work on the hands or feet yet which is why they look like clay shapes /images/graemlins/tongue.gif. Jaa, I know, I SHOULD be working on something else but only working on what I should work on makes me unproductive (since I don't do anything /images/graemlins/tongue.gif).

The demon is very early wip. The girl is.. well.. I modeled her while I was very intoxicated, all i was thinking was blocking out the shapes. So now i`ve started redoing every line and polygon, trying to make the mesh less messy. I`ve started doing this in the face, and this is as far as i`ve gotten.

normal mapping shouldnt be used to show off normal mapping anyway , just an aid to the model final

Unless you are going for a completely different anatomy than a human hislegs are too short. And where are the seams for Q3? Or does your engine use a different setup?

that certainly is one detailed penis CheapAlert. When you get this guy rigged, dont forget to put a bone in his cock. That way it can flop around as he runs. Frankly, if you can make a run cycle with it flopping all over the place, it would probably be both the funniest and most frightening model ever made.

I would have liked to release an SDK but it's for a mod /images/graemlins/frown.gif

Now for a body :I

That helmet is awesome Smo! I'd say widen the blue light thing on the front to the overall width of her eyes combined.

Replying to MoP:

You could save yourself some time and just touch the normals up in photoshop if you want, smudge and blur tools work well at fixing minor problems. You can also constrain them to specific channels if you just want to edit a specific x,y,z value instead of all of them.

AdamBrome: I dig the environment, but you should change the angle of the camera, bring it a bit lower. It didn't look like it in the wireframes, but now, due to the camera angle, it all looks a bit small: kinda like some sort of kitchen :P
BTW, is it based on something or did you think it up yourself? 'cos it is interesting!

I really didn't know where you wanted to go with the female gargoyl so here it is at an early stage so I can change a few things.

I'm already thinking of shortening the horns and making them more dangerous looking.
Questions, do you want hair, if so long or short? Do you want her to be pretty? Lastly is there a better place to discuss this ?

[CheapAlert]

Check your PM. /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[KDR_11k]

How about a third eye in the forehead?

[Kevin Johnstone]

Daz: Smooth as silk, face and cloth folds are really impressive

[CheapAlert]

i'm just drawing another garg that won't get modeled, just for a little practice with the grid paper. Anatomy errors are everywhere.

Working on this environment. It's a High tech Lab. Still needs alot of work. The detail on all the objects is still unfinished, and some objects are temporary fillers (Pipes & cables attached to scanner, catwalk & stairs and others).
