So what are you working on?

[vahl]

Gwot : Already told you, but I love that one, can't wait to see more of your plans for that boy becoming reality /images/graemlins/smile.gif

EQ afaik he used truespace's new shader system (feel free to correct me gwot /images/graemlins/wink.gif)

[spacemonkey]

Gwot, that just made my cool list /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

This is a colaborative effort between me, Gavku and and animator at our workplace to design the ultimate fighting machine. Behold the fruits of our labor...

/images/graemlins/ooo.gif really nice Ruz

I like the way you are rendering these out, shading with green somehow? Reminds me of the Bitmap Brothers and their technique for shading using greens. Are you adding some kind of cell-shading technique to get the great blacks you have on the nose and eyes?

Saved to my inspiration folder. Render a huge one and I'll use it for desktop wallpaper (two please! /images/graemlins/grin.gif)

If a game were styled like this, it would look fantastic. I doubt you'll be sharing the technique anytime soon (best to keep the cards close to your chest) but I guess a lot of people striving for this look will be jealous.

keep it coming!

poly modeling so i dont forget how, LAWLS

[Ruz]

Hi Hawken
well its a really simple thing really.I don't mind sharing stuff.
use the oren-naya-blinn shader in 3dsmax. Its as simple as that, gives it that kind of cel shadey type of look.
I also put the cavity map from zbrush in the additonal bump slot in the default normal map shader(.2 strength)
1 spotlight pointed directly at the character seems to work well too.

[okkun]

Cholden, that looks about 10 times better than the previous stuff. Looks like you got your speculars down much better.

[Ruz]

looking nice earthquake. tThe forehead perhaps tapers a bit too much , but the rest is looking solid.

[Xaltar]

Some nice work in here guys. Sweet ogre Gwot.

earthquake- thats a nice head. tiny (possibly wrong) niggle is that the folds above the eyes are a bit too strong.

[Vitor]

everyone needs a portfolio isn't it? so here is mine:

http://dferreira.planetaclix.pt

if the intention was to get a job it would require a re-selection of works, a resumé, and better rendering of each model as well as info about them too. But as i don't care about gettin a job now i just rushed it /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[EarthQuake]

Ruz, Shep: Thanks guys. Its nice to go back and actually model something by hand after doing lots of sculpts in mudbox, you learn alot of what shapes look good and forms from that stuff but its always hard to get get such fine control over a mesh like when poly modeling.... mmmmm

Shep: Yeah i noticed she has a bit of a double fold going on there, tweaked that a bit. I'll post a new shot when i model some ears for her =)

Ruz: I might texture this one day if it gets that far, its more just for fun not really as something i'm doing to finish. Thats what my job is for =)

[rooster]

that second shot warby, looks SWEET! I thought the perspective of the circles looked off in your previous pimp but when viewed from that angle it works fine.. only thing I notice is the arch above the door looks a bit different to the rest of the stonework, could maybe use a little contrast/hue tweak?

[Squirrely Jones]

Damn, Earthquake, your heads always amaze me!

love the fat guy.

got an interview tomorrow at company id rather like to work at, they said bring any art theyd be interested in, since theres no 2d work on my site, and all the stuff i have is a bit messy, i thought id do some.

i fell in love with the poly-lasso tool while i painted this.

a couple of slightly wonky bits but im pretty pleased with it.

Neox: AWESOME! great character design, so far looks absolutley great! Really nice work

Shep: sweet man, That looks really nice. Hope the interview goes well. good luck!

[notman]

That's a damn good looking piece Shep. I think it's worthy of showing them /images/graemlins/smile.gif Good luck

[Jarrod1937]

almighty. glad to see they finally got a model importer for oblivion. After i released my texture packs i was planning on doing some modeling for a mod too... however they didn't have an importer/exporter for oblivion at the time. Now i am just too busy with my own game though...
alwell i guess, i got bored with oblivion fast, it jst lacks the diversity in the mythical world that morrowind had.

[almighty_gir]

yeah, thats why im gonna mod it haha. if i can find out how, im gonna make a whole (long) quest line revolving around dragons/riders.

ultra cliche stuff for the win.

Following Ruz suggestions to go a bit more realistic (the aim on that last one wasn't the perfect realism as you had noticed, but i clearly had to move from that "style") here is a new one; still its hard to get rid of overdone look...

@CheapAlert: you might be right about this, and it will always look a little bendy but the style is stylized enough to to let this not look totally stupid, but ofcourse, if it doesn't look good i have to change the topology to get it more flexible, but max' skinning doesn't care if i change the topology beneath, so i can change it afterwards. thanks for the feedback

@kakikokeku (hope i wrote that right /images/graemlins/laugh.gif): i'm not quite sure, but something is bothering me with his proportions, maybe the neck is too thick, i'm not quite sure, the last worked better, at least to me

Hoyt3d, I think it's not too bad in the details.. I think the proportions are a bit off though if you're aiming for a realistic character..

[cholden]

Jarrod1937: That environment doesn’t really read at all. While I understand it to be a cave scene with a bridge, it looks like a wet blob of green and gray. Try to kill all the harsh edges, get some proper lighting and build a clear path that the player travels on.

[/ QUOTE ]
to me though, while i understand what you're saying, i think will make the environment look too manufactured. to me a natural cave should have hard edges in some areas and should not have a clear path for the player, however when you're walking around the level is it obvious where you are and where you need to go. however i am going to tone down the specular highlights since i went crazy and turned them all up pretty high on a lot of the materials, this should increase the contrast between the different materials a bit more.
although your critism is very welcome, if you give me a good reason for soemthing, i'll do it, it would be stupid not to.

edit: btw, very nice, but very clean, flash light, is that rendering in a game engine or just in max/maya?

lol edit2: what do you suggest i do for the lighting? keep in mind in that section of the cave there is a hole/skylight which is where some fo the blue lighting is coming from. i have yet to become very good at scene lighting, which makes me sad because lighting is veyr important, so any suggestions you may have would be nice.

[notman]

I think what cholden was getting at is, if people normally walk to this bridge, there would be a path worn into the earth. Your current doesn't doesn't present a path like this.
I also agree with the hard edges statement. The rocks almost look like XMas trees.
I like the scene overall, I just think Cholden made some good points (besides, it's what he does I believe /images/graemlins/wink.gif)

how would i create the illusion of a worn path using a tileing texture on a mesh with no multi-texture blending support in the engine yet? i may do that tonight.
and what do you suggest i do with the stalagmites? just take the top vert and move in down to sort of dull the top edges/points?

[notman]

I wasn't aware of the limitations in your engine. If it will have multi-textural blending later, then I'd just wait on the path. It would just improve the scene.

I would round out the stalagmite more. On the tips and the sides. Not sure where your poly limitations are though.

A decal layer over the top with a directionally tiling image for the path (tiles top>bottom with edges fading out to 'rock').

[/ QUOTE ]
If you have an extra row of verts near the point then yes, just move the top vert down and soften it...

thanks, guess I know what you mean regarding the suspenders.
I played around with it for a while but somehow I couldn't get it to look right.
anyway here's a little update - head is done + a little texture work. ~1600 tris ATM, aiming for 2000 including gun and ammo-pouches.

guess I have to scale down the head a bit, looks too big on the screenshot.

WIP
http://uweb.txstate.edu/~is1010/wip.jpg

The Highwayman was born Doran Kegan in 17th-century London. Growing up on the streets as an orphan, he learned that stealing was the best way for a lad to make money, and by his twenties he had enough money to pursue his childhood love. They were soon married, but Doran felt that his wife deserved more than he had, so he began robbing again, though she was adamant that he stop.

One night Doran returned to the inn they were staying at to find his wife gagged and bound. Rushing to her aid he was caught by surprise from the local watchmen who had set this trap for him. They at first tried to subdue him to capture him, but when he drew his blade they fought to the death. Several wounded him with their pistols, and he drew his pistols to fight, as well. Finally, all the watchmen were dead save one that was badly wounded.

Doran turned to get his wife and leave before more men arrived, but stopped suddenly. His wife lay dying, a bullet wound to her chest.

“What have I done?!” he cried. His wife blinked the tears out of her eyes, her face filled with sorrow. She moved no more.

In his rage he made an oath that he would only use his hands to rob the life of others, since his wife’s had been robbed from him.

He swung around and began to throttle the last watchman that lay helpless on the ground. When his fingers touched the man’s flesh it began to crinkle away like burnt parchment. The watchman wailed in terror and agony as his flesh rotted from the touch of The Highwayman, and he was soon consumed by this rotting.

Doran felt exhilarated, and found that his wounds had been healed…

The Highwayman lives on in the 21st-century, robbing the life from those he deems wicked and thus renewing his own body. Does he do this to bring vigilante justice, or to avoid his own death and the judgment that it will bring? Many believe he wears his mask in shame of what he is doing, for he rarely removes it.


Crits are very welcome! I just roughed him out today, let me know if you guys have any ideas for specific changes or anything that could be cool. Thanks!

Yeah, supposdely Vikings didn't really have horns on their helmets. Don't tell Minnesota. Your textures also seem a bit soft, not sure what size you're working at but they seem like they could use a bit more definition and edge to them. I like the sheild design and the axe a bunch.

[/ QUOTE ]And they make him look like a Viking, regardless of historical accuracy. A bullet helm with horns can and will be instantly read as representing a Nordic warrior, which allows you to stylise where you like in other areas.

Besides if you want absolute historical accuracy then the axe is a far bigger issue.

http://studioflaagan.com/images/3d/gearsoftime/level_wip1.jpg
To give you a sense of scale, that 6 spoked cog near the middle, the player currently starts out in the center of that, and could probably have 3 or 4 other players comfortably standing around him on the central part of that cog.

A good friend of mine recently got himself a badass keyboard, the Roland Fantom-X8 (http://www.roland.com/products/en/Fantom-X8/), and is currently working on background music for the level. Stopped by his place to take a listen and I'm already digging where he's going with it.

[Tulkamir]

Damn cool idea for a map James. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

You going to be having all the pieces moving (Like cogs rotating)?

[jonnyhr]

kakikukeko: I think the curve of the back looks excellent from the images provided. Might have something to do with the curve of his chest compared to his back? as it looks fairly straight on the front view.. hard to tell though. What do I know though anyway :P Excellent work!

http://jonnyree.com/demon/demonMaps02.jpg

[flaagan]

Tulk, yup, having it all moving is the plan. Going to add some more gears and whatnot to the level as I find ones that look interesting. Currently got it set up so it *should* move, but UEd's Movers seem to be misbehaving (a few turn, some don't, and they all want to reset to original position upon collision with the player model). If I can't get them to work as Movers I may try one or two other things, but I'm not certain those other things will work in UT2k4. Worse comes to worse, I'll just have the gears stationary and the clock hands turning, but I'd hate to have to resort to that.

[Warhawk]

Nice stuff everyone:
jonnyhr: That demon dude looks nice. Nice expression on his face. And the color map looks great. Nice use of colors. I would just play some more with the cloth folding, try to define them abit more. Also play some more with the specualrity. Try to concentrate more on the hilights in your specular. to pop up some of the detailes.

killingpeople : Nice head. I like the base structure of its skull. Those creases are looking very good. Are you gonna finish it. Becouse you should. It is a nice piece.

hobodactyl : I like the silhouette of the model. It is progressing nicely. It would be even better if you could round his ass abit and remove that vertex that creates the buldge on his back. Keep it up.

SEKNeox : Nice dinosaur. I like the skin. I have nothing to critize:) Are you gonna texture him also?

Ok and here is a little something from me to fill this page:
I will pose hima and put him into enviroment.

[arshlevon]

whoa EQ comin along nicely! holds up well from 3/4 , i do think the profile could use some work, some suggestions, just based on facial anatomy, take what you want from them. my paint over is to the left and what i changed is to the right, feel free to overlay ontop of your because some of the changes are very minor. i usually dont have time to give full blow crits so i just say cool or lame, but today i have some free time.

http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/4905/eqsrl1.jpg



the eye
if the eye is a sphere(or close to it) then only about 1/3 or less depending on race is ever really exposed from the side, your lids seem to expose almost to the halfway point, if you look at some profiles not too much is seen and some cases hardly any at all.


the ear
you seem to be missing the antitragus, there is usually a dipdown following and that comes up to form the tragus, right now your antitragus and tragus seems to merge into one flat shape across the base of the external audatory meatus.

under eye
there is a convergence of muscles here across the top of line starting at the inner socket. its where the orbital part of the orbicularis oculi meets the levator labii, now on males this line often continues down the path i drew out a little further, on females its not so prevelent unless they are jucin' what it does is create a crease and two skin/fat packs, one under the eye and one that is the main meet of the cheek they have names but i forget.

the nostrils.
here often times it looks as though the cheek is kissing the nostril from the side, but its kind of an optical illusion cause what creates this shape is not right next to the nostril it is the apex of cheek that is about a finger or two width from the nostril, it comes out a bit and makes a little butt on the face from the side.

mouth corner
i just drew a few lines for reference, one comes out of the anus of the face butt down the side and this is where smile lines usually form, and the other runs with the corner of the mouth. now, in between these two lines, (and sometimes its barley noticeable but its usually always there) there is another little little skin pack that is created by the wide range of movement of the mouth. the corners have a huge range of movement and this little pack also gets kind of tucked into the mouth a little bit when you smile, this is also what creates dimples, infact people that have dimples usually have much more noticable skin packs here. and you can really feel it at work if you pinch the corners of your mouth, (trying to get the skin pack) and smile, and do various other things with your mouth while holding them, they change shape alot when doing different gestures.

thats all i got.

good job your stuff gets better and better. keep it up.

'nuf workin on it for one night. Figure a handful more gears here and there, gotta move the clock and pendulum back a bit (which means scaling up the world box first). Particle effect work needs to be tweaked (especially on the pendulum). Need to start looking into a shader or two or three for the gears / clock pieces. Please feel free to grab the level file and play around with it some. Keep in mind this isn't going to be a huge battle field; current gravity settings aren't set in stone; weapon suggestions for the level...?

No seriously, I feel he needs more fat, creasing greasy fat on his body, sumotakling down your teachers to the dusty ground they belong.

His biceps is very sharp, also in the way it flows into the body and the other muscle leading towards the hand needs a bit more volume imho.
Cool base, maybe you've gone into some details a bit to quick, the speedo also maybe needs some pinching tightness around the butt.

Prs-Phil: Thanks man! Agreed on the definition of the muscles, I wasn’t really thinking when I was sculpting it /images/graemlins/smile.gif Luckily all it takes is a bit of smoothing and inflating:

I still have to tweak the Speedo…

EDIT: I hereby christen this 200th page with lackluster modellage!

[SupRore]

I do too, with lackluster competition

First off... YAY! 200 pages and still going strong! /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Secondly.. 'nother update to Gears of Time.
- added another set of cogs
- moved some other cogs / changed rotation speeds
- swapped numbers for roman numerals on clock
- animated roman numberals on clock
- added some test weapon / health / shield / adrenaline pickups

Speaking of the pickups, be sure to take a look at what the shield pickups ended up doing when I put their bases inside the cog mover... what a twist!

Sweet stuff Flaagan, it's definitely coming along. Right now my main critique is that it'd probably feel a lot more cohesive (and show attention to detail) if you were to make all the cogs work together in a large system. I notice that there are some area's like that, but if you could make everything go together it'd be sweet. /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Also, it's very silver right now, why not make some brass cogs ors something, add in some variation

And that shield pick up is cool. /images/graemlins/laugh.gif I like it. /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[flaagan]

Will start making my own shaders for the map when I'm done adding cogs and such. I thought originally about making it all one single piece, but the idea is that it's an ethereal kind of place, so not necessarily all of the machine is visibly connected. I may be adding some particle effects to tie pieces / the machine together if I feel it's necessary. As it is some of the pieces I've made to work together don't necessarily 'fit' together all the time, and I'd like to avoid the headache of debugging those issues as much as possible. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Marisa]

Some awesome design Flaagan. Other than it making me kinda sick when I played it, it seems to be coming along nicely.

Finish your lower levels before you even THINK of doing that 10 million poly noise skin detail man, its much more important that your forms read than having some skin pore detail that dosent add anything to the model.

guess I took too long to start making UT2K4 levels

Yeah, I was going to make the same comment, it looks like you skipped a level of detail. You went from getting your basic shape, to doing the super fine details. There needs to be that middle level detail in there.

Here are two old guy faces so you can see the sort of old flesh details.

Waiting around the art department of the local uni while my GF was working on a project i did this little guy. Clay is funnnnnnnnn and i feel like mudbox has taught me to sculpt. Eyes are halfass cause i'm too shakey to detail that small.

haha awesome! how big is that thing?

Here's a camera I modeled and textured in about 8-10 hours, rendered in the Amp II engine.

real small, like 3-4 inches tall maybe?

[killingpeople]

you said 3-4 inches was big :*(

[JDinges]

Doing up the portfolio with "next gen" stuff. /images/graemlins/confused.gif

a lantern for a much larger scene I'm doing. A tad under 300 tris

diffuse + spec (my first spec at that)

[flaagan]

Got a little frustrated with a bit of my level and changed around / tweaked the location and number of a few pieces;
would appreciate it if anyone who's recently tried out the level to give this new setup a go.
The pickup locations aren't permanent, but if they do / don't work, let me know.

He has hair on his chest! WTF, why no shaved bodybuilder type? It looks great Johny, I love the colors, especially on the arms. I think the dark spots on his abdomen are too strong though. Can't wait to see more /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Fuse]

that is some real lovely texture work johny, let's see the flats

[poopinmymouth]

Johny is a Spaniard, they all have hairy chests. :-)

its ok kill, you're huge in japan.

[Neo_God]

He needs a happy-trail Johny.

[Tulkamir]

Flaagan, I like the layout much more now. It's far less frusterating because there's less chance of falling off, more play area.

Some comments on it though... for DM it's a very open level, there's not enough cover. If you add in some more larger pieces that block out line of sight in some area's it might help keep the game more action oriented and just having people sit around sniping.

Also, the big keg o health on the one gear by the start point, I like the position, but when I jump onto the gear and ride it around I somehow end up falling into the static mesh and getting stuck inside. Not sure how this is happening, but it's a fairly large, game breaking bug. (Also, I don't know that I saw anything under that gear to catch someone who falls off by going all the way around on it.)

Anyways, it's deffinatly looking good, I think the change was for the better. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

just the end/very delayed result of the previous cgcomp:

[free-willy]

Johny:crazy proportions for the legs,but the texturing is looking awesome.
achmedthesnake:the only thing that looks slightly off is the trousers,the rest of the texturing has depth,but the trousers seem way too flat,other than that good job on getting it finished.
