So what are you working on?

[Zcubed]

Looks great Johny. I think the proportions are a bit too wacky, but the texture is excellent thus far.

And don't let Poop call you a Spaniard! /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Dang flaagan, I didn't notice your level post there earlier, looking groovy!

I'm still learning unrealEd, I whipped this torch shader up (still need to work on the metal base)

http://www.artbyjustin.com/wip/torchtest.gif

[kakikukeko]

Nice skin Johny! (I still feel it's a wide angle shot from above tho ^^ )

[flaagan]

JM.. cube maps are your friend~

As far as the torch shader.. open up the FireEngine.utx, look under Liquids, at the WetTexture Lava_03Pro. I used that in a combiner to create this glowing coals effect:

[flaagan]

Bumped up the map size to about double what you guys last saw, since 'not enough area' was the most common complaint. Started laying out some weapons and pickups. May end up doing weapons lockers (think onslaught maps) for the weapon pickups just so I can give the players more weapons with the lesser amount of space this map actually offers. Probably will do the shock rifle, the chaingun, and maybe the rpg or goo-gun; that way the players have a good attack / knock back weapon, a good spray n pray, and a good trap weapon. What do you guys think? Will probably start whipping up a cube map or two tomorrow for the shaders, and look into the particle effects I want to add.

http://studioflaagan.com/images/3d/gearsoftime/level_wip5.jpg

http://studioflaagan.com/files/DM-GearsofTime.ut2

Might actually have this level done by the end of the week, if so, I may try to start on a second level idea I've come up with, but the detail I'd like to put into that one may keep it from getting done in time (nov 28th deadline for the contest).

Oh and still amazing work going on in here, keep it up boys and girls!

:edit:

Forgive the terrible lighting haha. Oh and XSI has this weird thing where you can't see the bilinear texture till you render(and it seems to be hard to render.. why I don't know) so thats why its fuzzy, you can only see the pixels close up which makes me a sad panda /images/graemlins/frown.gif (goes back to lurking /images/graemlins/smile.gif)

Tossed a few color modifiers on the original cubemap, liked the results better than the wonky cube maps I was making. Added the weapons locker.. considering adding a secret teleport to a redeemer or ion cannon, but it's already 4 am and I need sleep.

Tried out the 'crush when encroach' idea JM, ended up causing more problems then it fixed.

@hobodactyl : looking cool. only suggestion i can give u is change the crotch region. the bump where his 'instrument' would be seems very strange. I figure it should either be horizontally oblong, or (preferably) not there at all.

[arshlevon]

started texturing my self portrait.. shader is not even close.. there is NO real bump or spec.. they are just desaturated versions of the color map i threw in the slots to test it out. i plan on doing the real bump details in zbrush, using the color as a guide..the eyebrows are just textures at the moment and i plan on making them with ornatirx as well as some stubble cause i usually have like a half beard going on.. also i didnt fiddle with the shader specs really.. this is just a test so all i am really showing off here is the color map..
the green on his chin is bounce lighting from a green plane that is under him..urrrr...i mean.. under me..

the bloom is almost right but its just not next gen enough.. everything needs to be brown! all brown! colors don't exist in a next gen universe.. brown it up.. my eyes don't even know how to see this for the lack of all brown and grey or a combination of brown and grey and grey browns..

this is what is SHOULD look like

other than that its awesome..

@RobG - great painting!

@Warby - looks sweet, maybe retint the stone walls in the wine cellar, they're blending into one shape with the wood quite a bit

more cross forum spamming - I've modelled out the supervillain, still to add some pipes and & cut into the cloth for more natural folds but i'll do that while texturing.

http://www.adventuresincommuting.com/helmet2.gif
http://www.adventuresincommuting.com/helmet3.gif

[uk_resistant]

hey warby, looks to be some good level design there, and some great artwork.

In terms of muting colour, i dont think you should make quite so brown as to follow the trend of next gern. A bit of colour is actually refreshing these days. That said i think it should be some in between the saturated and brown states, esp because the lighting seems too "bleached" if that makes sense.

yeah they look off. i have those but they are little further down i have to change the bumps. here is a pic for ref.. the photo is at a different angle the render is from more underneath my face

Sammmy, looks very much like you. I think on your model you've got a little too much jowl.

JM.. first off, you can set the emitters to do lighting as well so they're doing double duty. Even if you scale down the torches, the smoke needs to be blacker and move / spread a bit faster. And I can't seem to select the grate to move it down (which it needs to be moved just slightly).

[Renardin]

Can anyone tell me a good light setup for Max? I know I have seen that several times but I can't find it anywhere now...

Any ideas and crits are welcomed! The diffuse is basically just solid colors right now, I haven't done any of the details.

[EarthQuake]

Thats a really bad normals map dude, all of your detail there from large to small scale just looks like noise, no form at all. Finding a good lighting setup wont help you here.

[hobodactyl]

Tried to clean him up, and added a lazy cape... I think tomorrow I'll actually make one and somehow make it fit in the texture :P Probably won't have time to fix the cape correctly, but we'll see.

I actually did this before the one i posted earlier, so it's still a bit lacking in the sharpness-department, but i think i'll try to shape it up a bit. Get it to look like everything's got a purpose, rather than just being blobby detail.

[IxenonI]

So, my first post with content /images/graemlins/wink.gif.

Since everyone´s gotta have his own cliche space chick, i´ve been working on mine. Alot of the model is still wip (headgear, face & hair, missing folds), but i need some critique.

Plan to normal map her and sculpt some detail in when maya modeling is finished.

http://wuschiger-flieder.de/bilder/spacechick.jpg
Detailshot (http://wuschiger-flieder.de/bilder/detail2.jpg)

@MightyPea
I like the form, would be nice to see the tentacles integrated in the mouth / face

[JKMakowka]

@IxenonI:
The details are really well made, but I strongly suggest to have a closer look at the human anatomy, since that still needs more work.
It kind of looks like the detail was made first and the human underneath was added as an afterthough, or as if you got impaitience with the human and started adding the props way to early.

[katzeimsack]

year, it'S very good technically, but the antomy is a little bit strange. No Problem though! You can easily fix that on the loe polygonal model /images/graemlins/smile.gif

btw: the smoothed "assedge" looks funny /images/graemlins/wink.gif

[hobodactyl]

IxenonI, looking good! I agree with the guys above, though. Should be easy to fix.

I'm going nuts trying to fix the texture here; I'm struggling with the idea of making the outfit look clean like a Supervillain's but giving it enough detail to look good. Any help is appreciated!

http://uweb.txstate.edu/~is1010/pointywip9.jpg

[Ruz]

Rota626 - looks nice, bu the nose needs more shape, very 'straight' looking right now, like he's been using nose straightners:)

IxenonI - very good details, like you spent a lot of time on getting it 'just right'

[Johny]

no ofense, but the cape texture someone vomited in it , maybe give more definition with the normals , so far the model seems a random smudge of normal mapping not reading any froms at all /images/graemlins/frown.gif i also think your green channel is not inverted .

[hobodactyl]

Thanks everyone, I was trying to power through this model because I thought the comp was over THIS monday :P Anyway, I've gotten burnt-out on this dude, I'm gonna leave him like this, too many errors and whatnot. I think I've learned some stuff, so that's good. I may try using what I've learned to make another entry.

Hi everyone. My almost first post here, although i've been lurking on these forums for several years now /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Recently i started to work on my new portfolio, because i haven't updated it for two years now, and as a result, faced some problems trying to find work.

So, this is one of the pieces i'm currently working on, its still wip, i'm planning to add more details on textures and probably some messing with vertices, to add more shape.

http://img302.imageshack.us/img302/2861/sentineldd7.jpg

2512 tris and two 512*512 textures atm. there is no concept for this, did some doodling tho (does not worth showing anyway). i tried to design it to look good from both - ground and aerial points of view, and i hope its purpose is quite obvious - guard, observe. Fantasy ofc.

any c&c are greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.

[Squirrely Jones]

HA, I love it kakikukeko. Every time I see your stuff I think, "Damn that's some good normal and spec mapping", then I look closer and see it's all painted on, excellent stuff.

[Slum]

Oleg Linkov: I really like the direction you're going in. Your execution is pretty nice, but as you said, it's obvious you didn't really have a design in mind. A few things that catch my eye :

1) The little whispy green rings are really cool, but they dont seem to be coming from anywhere. If there was some kind of emitting object on the little towers, it would make more sense. Like for example, if you just had one ring going around the very points of each column, it would make sense because there seems to be some kind of starting point. Even though it's fantasy and real physics mean nothing, it still needs to look like it makes sense in it's own context.

2: The part in the middle, the big tower, looks like it's going to fall over. Maybe widen out the base to a near-pyramid shape to make it look like it's really standing on something.

On top of that, I think your textures so far aren't really warranting two 512x512 maps. By looking at them, I would have guessed maybe 256.

Sorry for the long-winded crit. Keep going dude, I want to see where it goes. Good stuff.

looks pretty cool, but you should either atrophy his legs to comic proportions, or beef up his feet to match the rest of him. Right now it could go either way... personally, I'd like to see him have tiny legs.

i've beta named him vapourware. so his power is he's all talk. hence the pipes from his mask to his guns. the limit is set at 5k tri's ( current comp at cgchat ). and i need to get a few more bits in there. hopefully the wrinkleness of the normal map and texture will add that interest to his sleeves

[Slum]

So very cool tacit.

I think the guns are missing something. Right now they seem like pistol's with big silencers, and the tubes were really an afterthought. I think the guns need more mass, to make them look like they really do something. Also, the tubes could be thicker to imply that 'something' actually moves through them- right now it's almost like the guns are just tied to his face with a piece of wire.

[tacit math]

fair critique on the pipes Slum. i'll work on it. still a bit to do

You guys should check out David Levy's Gnomon DVD (Speed Painting to Concept Art) He really goes deep into the advanced brush creation, in technical terms and theoretical ones. Definatly a huge inspirational DVD as well as educational. Sadly (although not too sadly as I got a game art job) I got an art test, and then had to move (which I'm still kinda in the middle of) right after watching the DVD a couple of times, so I haven't had time to properly experiment with some of the ideas...however I will say the cloud brush is freakin sweet.

[Campaignjunkie]

Ah, finally something I feel qualified to comment on -

Slum, that needs to be a great deal brighter, both for gameplay and aesthetic reasons: Players need to see where they're going, and they need to see all those beautiful details you put in that level. Also, make sure you put an env_cubemap (http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Env_cubemap) in there, or else you'll get the shiny fingernails bug. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

[MoP]

I dunno, Campaignjunkie - I like the dingy feeling that lighting's creating, and nearly all the time I see HL2 maps, they're ridiculously overbright and end up looking kinda flat as a result.
You can still see players in that lighting without too much difficulty - and even if you couldn't, wouldn't that just be a gameplay device?

[Slum]

indeed. I havent even bothered with the lighting yet, just threw some in to see what my textures would look like in something other than fullbright.

about the cubemaps: I did add one, but I guess I did something wrong.

[animatr]

i like it a lot slum

[Campaignjunkie]

Well in general, you can't know a player's brightness settings, so ideally you would keep a level somewhat bright to be fair to each player. Sure, bits of darkness are okay (like the basement in cs_militia), but usually you will want to have the majority in more visible conditions. No one buys NVGs and flashlight isn't always enabled on servers. I think the style guide for the HL1 mod Natural Selection said it best: Make it "feel" dark, but don't actually make it dark.

Then again, do whatever you want. I'm just commenting on what's supposedly the "most accepted practice" in the community. It's your map, not mine... But one thing: when you load up the map, type "buildcubemaps" into the console, and it'll work its magic.

[/ QUOTE ]
i'd say its bright enough, and if levels like that are too dark for a player.. thats what brightness settings are for in games.

[Campaignjunkie]

Yes, but if a player has to increase the brightness just for your map, then obviously your map doesn't really fit with the others - which is fine, like I said, but it's not "accepted practice."

[Slum]

There are good points both ways. I guess from a multiplayer standpoint, I would completely agree with you.

I suppose I should have mentioned that this is not intended to be a multiplayer map for counterstrike. It's just a little level I'm building within the engine for fun. I actually have no interest whatsoever in playing counterstrike or making maps for the game. :P

sogun: More cybernetics on the upper body and that'd fit into the next Wolfenstein.

[dejawolf]

having your lower abdomen blown off is pretty serious business, and i think you'd have a lot of spall and fragments flying all around, ripping up the upper body as well.
a few fingers lost, and brutal scars on the lower body parts would fit well. also, i think that dude needs some clothing. some battle grime, and dust wouldn't come amiss either. soldiers aint pretty.

I'm determined to finish it. The line drawing is slowly disappearing under the paint. I think there might be too much light in there ATM. I think it needs to be a bit more 'contrasty'.

hey Gmanx that is really cool! I dont think I have seen this before. In terms of lighting I agree with you that it could use more contrast. I kinda went wild with some overlay layers in photoshop, maybe you'll see something you like in my overlay-over (http://www.scottduquette.com/tmp/pc_po_03.jpg).

there are two other things about it that dont seem to be doing it quite yet - the way her right arm ends in such a straight line seems to deaden the rhythm of her pose. and, the arrangement of the clouds behind her head seems to put too much stress in the middle of the composition; might be better to shift the emphasis of the clouds to one side? up to you, of course.

[Gmanx]

Thanks Noritsune - I agree with your points on the pose and composition. I think the clouds need shifting to the left and toning down a little. I like your 'overlay-over'(tm?) and certainly want to have similar lighting effects in the finished piece.

The model looks pretty cool. the texture though looks like you just finished a first pass. looks very unfinished.
