So what are you working on?

vahl: I was not confused at all.

KDR: Always nice to see that the person with the <second> highest post count is also the biggest assclown.

Edit: Whoops, sorry mop.

[Makkon]

It's blatantly female, the facial anatomy speaks femine (cept that chin), and the breasts only add to the fact. Looks great /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[poopinmymouth]

Not seeing how anyone could mistake her for a man, very sexy job so far Vahl. Frenchify!

Still working on this guy, I'll make a thread when I move to the texture stage.

Vahl: ooh man, shes cute!

Androgeny is one of the key features of "beauty". Do a lot of facial drawing studies and you start to notice this. Thats why runway model girls look like guys and model guys look like girls 1/2 the time /images/graemlins/confused.gif

Edit: Looking good, Ben! In with the ninja post...

[EarthQuake]

Vahl's paintover of hiss girl inspired me to do a some work on a model thats been sitting here for a while, and my own crappy paintover w00t. Yes the eyes look CRAZY. i know hehe

vahl the portrait is very nice, keep it the same and keep it a girl.

[Jackablade]

Aye, nice strong Germanic features. I'd say she's much more attractive than the average blonde bimbo game character.

They're still WIP, so crits are very very welcome. I know my UV's are wasteful. I kind of went into this this evening with no plans, and it shows. I'll probably tighten things up in the UV's so I can sqeeze in another prop, possibly.

[shape]

nice! The hoops need something to show how it's all held together (gotta love rivets). There's quite a few good sites on barrel making which might help: http://www.rootsweb.com/~flbbm/heritage/cooper/barrelmaking.htm. Keep working on the pewter, the lions head looks like a different material at the moment. I do like the cloth wrapped handle tho.

[frostymoose]

Ruz: that's one of the uglier mesh flows I've seen, but it the final result looks great!

[Sectaurs]

psyk0 - he looks great. I think he could stand to be just a tad bit wider... not enough to ruin the gaunt look you're going for, but right now he looks a bit too vertically stretched.

[Option]

Just a quickie, maybe 10 mins, including time taken to craft my brushes.

Agreed, i really followed the reference closely, probably had some distortion in it. Glad you like /images/graemlins/smile.gif.

[Neo_God]

Ruz, that's looking sweet! However his face is looking a little dull, and is lacking some subtle pigments. Also he needs an imperfection here and there, also the line on his brow is looking a little too hard, I would soften that edge up a bit.

[almighty_gir]

Shephiro, youve got the bayonet fitting all wrong mate =[

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b8/SMLE_No4_Mk1.jpg

i realise thats not the best picture, but ill describe how they fit (i used to fire those rifles, and perform bayonet practice). basically, there were two types of bayonet for that rifle, a "pigsticker", which is like a spike. and a knife. both fit onto the rifle the same way, they are mounted onto the muzzle at 45degree's then twisted into place, where they are locked until you wish to release them. the holding block actually covers the entire muzzle.

[Ruz]

FunkaDelicDass - looking stylish
SHEPEIRO - nice,but reckon thats a bit clean looking, few dirt overlays maybe
psyko - where the bottom of the ears meet the head seems too smooth. They should curve back under a little

frotymoose - reckon I have a ways to go in this yet. mesh flow is a bit borked really
neogod - I will try get a bit more variation in when I am totally happy with the basic shape/look of the mesh

[CrazyButcher]

after adding .obj and .3ds conversion tools for "luxinia", I started on quake3 .bsp. Although they are converted to big meshes and loose their "portal" informations (only become volume nodes), But I might be doing the portal visibility precomputation for optimized rendering some day, too.

http://luxinia.de/uploads/Main/quake3_levelmodel_multi_t.jpg (http://luxinia.de/uploads/Main/quake3_levelmodel_multi.jpg)

the aim is to provide more "content" generating tools. So far we only had .md3 conversion and 3dsmax/c4d exporters.
Although I want to furhter improve the 3dsmax exporting as well, currently mesh/collision data export is doable. But a maxscript for more "scene" informations such as lights/projectors... would be cool

ruz, looks very nice, though I think your light setup is making it ugly. green ambient??
also looks you are giving the face all unique UV space but the texture is mirrored. maybe you plan to change that later?

[Slum]

Rooster: Hell yeah! Your stuff for that guy is looking better all the time. I love the bike. It would be cool if it had some kind of wing/fin in the back, kind of like on a helicopter. Maybe with a big blinky light on it /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[CrazyButcher]

cool stuff rooster, I like the indyjones/rocketeer look

[Ruz]

noritsune - yeah i am not so hot with lighting. Re the uv space, hm i will probably leave it like this, because I plan to make it a bit more unsymmetrical when I am happy with the mesh.

Playing through Metroid Prime Hunters (DS), and wanted to recreate some of the environments. My total textures add up to be around 1x128x128, though in the game they use 128’s regularly. Low specs are fun.

And keep working on my model, first time i texture something on Zbrush, also the first time i try to setup the perspective with it. Can't really improve it, some help on that would be great hehe the distorcion in at 0 now, and even thou it looks terrible, the neck looks tiny this way :/

Pirate ship, take2, about 15mins into the model:

[killingpeople]

tinman!

[sinistergfx]

Tinman: That's looking awesometown. Only thing that sticks out to me is that the transition from nostrils to face seems too soft; maybe push the "intersection line" on the sides a bit towards the center so the nostrils overlap the surrounding area a bit?

It would be cool to have some dried-up cracklies in the paint.

Can't wait to see this guy more finished.

first pass texture and leaf placement, I still need to add another colour/shape variant to the leaves.

Sweet work Chaos, i was wondering when i'd see progress on that one.

Yay mud rules! hehe

gir, it looks cool but the cloth texture overlay looks strange because its flat and the cloth is wrinkled. maybe have a play with some of the distortion filters, or something like that?

kipiripi, just wondering, but does mudbox only have that light brown color at it's disposal? I mean all the mudbox models I've seen have it.

That's looking cool Vitor, it reminds me of the elf warriors from Wizards.
Although, the face looks sorta stretched out on the low poly model compared to the high. It's hard to judge, but I think it might be because your low poly geometery isn't defined enough.

[kipiripi]

Neo_God :Yep,This is defaulth material and colors but users can change it.

[frostymoose]

vitor - That looks awesome, but I wish you had modelled more form into the lowpoly.

[/ QUOTE ]

Upper eyelids? I think the lack of those might be giving your models the crazied look.

[Fuse]

the way to top rim of the eye socket flowins into the nose is a littke akward to me .. giving it that dopey, cross-eye look .. perhaps smoothing it out and raising the length of the nose higher ..

i also think the proportions of the eyes to the edges of the mouth could use a little work .. right now the mouth is significantly wider relative to the placement of hte eyes

[ChaosEidolon]

Shapeiro man, those look freeking awesome =)

Seeing them together starts giving you a feel for the style and im digging it.

EQ: From the perspective, id say the eye sockets are slightly too close together, and bridge of the nose right between the eyes is too broad and there needs to be a cavity going straight back to the cuticle and transitioning outward into the eyebrow in a smooth curve. right now that part comes straight forward. Hope that makes sense.
And of course the missing eyelid =X

Otherwise its looking good. The nose and ears look great.

I think he meant make it more than paper thin, not smooth the opening? looks great though!
edit: sherp I thought that too, but maybe he also meant extrude in the thickness but also connect it 1 edgloop back so you cant see the 'rim'

[makoa]

ahh, gotcha!

Yeah my idea was that you make the rim around the opening and then extrude one segment back, just like rooster said.

Quick Zbrush Sketch that I created today. The base mesh was not created by me, it was created by Carlos AKA "Los". I intended to do a texture for the low poly mesh but I just went into zbrush for some reason.

Hey Ian, the texturing on that is amazing!

Here are some of the first fruits of a shape, rather than line, based drawing technique. I'm pretty happy with the results and I feel like the image has much more energy already.

http://www.gnomesend.com/secret/NewStyle1.jpg

[noritsune]

ninjas that is really awesome! super!

I also note that your concepts always have a way of drawing attention to the... errr... reproductive area.

well done.

[Sectaurs]

He wants you to think he's referencing himself.

You're certainly living up to your name. you always have such nicely backlit paintings. I need to try and emulate that.

I don't think his head fits the rest of him very well.

[Ninjas]

noritsune:
I'm sick of seeing anime guys with small cocks. If I'm going to pilot around a game character, I want to have the peace of mind knowing that my character has an absolutely massive cock.

Ian:
I know I know, but the only reason I did another ninja/space marine was so that I could see how it compared to all the other stuff I have already done! Expect something completely different from me in the future.

[technodookie]

Don't most anime characters make up for their small cock size by weilding insanely large weapons and getting angry all the time?

As for my thoughts, looks pretty good. I think the skin texture could use some work though. Looks more like a plant texture than scales/reptile.

[Zwebbie]

This is an older image, I've fixed the two triangles on the forehead. Ears are definately my least favourite part of modeling heads.


http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/2971/facetestpj3.png

[katzeimsack]

you should work on the eyelids, the ears are a bit edgy but good /images/graemlins/smile.gif

That'S what I'm working on.
Finished the highpoly version an stated on the lowpoly one /images/graemlins/smile.gif
The zbrushparts are really lowres, I will use much higher ones for the normalmaps

Here is my first attempt at sketching on a PC. Took me a while to get used to using a mouse to draw instead of a pencil. I only used the paintbrush (no modifiers) and the smudge tool in Paintshop Pro 7.

for normal mapping. did this in 1.5 hours with mudbox which I must say is an absolute joy to use over zbrush.

What's the best or standard way do do the inside of a characters mouth so it can talk and stuff?

[aniceto]

gavku: i cant tell if those are zbrushed or just poly/subD modelled. they look neat.


this is for a class assignment, gotta get this character into quake 4

Ancieto: its mudbox dude, (have it at work), cheers.
Chai: the base mesh was about 1500 tri's, which is fairly heavy, I usually start with something lower. They were both done with the same base.

Looking good gir.
I would work up the hair tex. a bit more. maybe some more broader vertical strokes and/or a stronger highlight up top.
Oh and I would add another row of edges to her chest to soften the side profile. She's lookin kinda sharp atm.
Very clean work overall. Should be a damn fine release.

a fair few tweaks of my soft light skin shader -- shadow hack works well too /images/graemlins/smile.gif (the old one isn't a perfect direct comparison since it's just the same settings, so it wouldn't look quite that bad since the numbers would be further refined for the older one)

I don't consider this to be any good, just fooling around trying to get over my problems modeling human heads (and highpoly) in Max, but I haven't posted anything here for a while.

Started with a quadified version of the model on the right last night, got it to around http://i1.tinypic.com/24bjn0i.jpg, and then tweaked it off and on today to be a little bit more presentable.

I'd like to excuse a few of it's failings on style, but it's really just bad all around.

Modeling an accurately proportioned human head is hard (I certainly can't do it!). Cheer up and give yourself some credit. What you've got now is pretty good; why not channel some of that self loathing into productive tweaking?

IBXL: i'm thinking the lips protrude a little too far out? Either that or the surrounding area is too far back. Something about that area just looks a bit too harsh. Can you post your reference for her?

H0pe it's not for the Blizzard contest ;D

man those tekken 6 screens look like ass! TOO SHINEY!!

[CrazyButcher]

nice work pior, cool character


been working on a sky rendering system. The clue is to make it work on "crap hardware"(tm). So no pixel shaders are used, and it runs in a single pass on Geforce3

It allows lots of runtime tweakables (cloud brightness, sunsize, suncolor, cloud color). The day/night cycle is done with a 2d texture, as well as the clouds and sun shapes, so a lot can be modified.

Once proper day/night system is setup and a small demo scene, it will be part of the next luxinia release.

The top lip also looks larger than the bottom. I think the cheekbone is a bit too low. Do you have concepts/references for this girl?
