So what are you working on?

[frostymoose]

The thumb looks a little dinky but those are some of the best low poly hands I've ever seen! The rest of the model is great, too. I'd really like to see this when it's finished.

[Quaggs]

Heres an update on my low poly nightmare, 1396 triangles, plus an 397 tris for the mutated half of his torso, pictured in the wireframe shots. probably gonna use this model as a base for the other versions of nightmare that i might have the urge to make.
That jack sparrow is looking awesome johny, especially thands and face!

Johny wanted to make a collab piece so around the same time i started on Davey. I'll probably redo the tentacles straight like ILM.

http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/6541/daveyyashjt7.jpg

[aesir]

Lookin great so far on davey. However, I'd advise against modeling them like ILM did unless you plan on rigging each tentactle seperately with their own bones, which most games engines would probably have trouble handling and would be a pain to animate without a lot of scripted controls. It would probably be easier to just have a couple bones that can control the secondary motion of the entire tentacle beard.

[Psyk0]

Good point, i was gonna use splines as bones just for posing tho. Didnt plan to get it in a game, altho it would be fun!.

Brice, I am totally dig'n that face!

[Jarrod1937]

since my levels for my game are on hold untill the foilage and terrain system is implemented i decided to make soem ground props. the first being a well:
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c208/jarrod1937/well_3.jpg

[Japhir]

jarrod, the wood texture on top of the roof is not looking very realistic... real wood has way fewer contrast and is kind of "smooth" other then that, great job! love the stones!

[Jarrod1937]

well, it was meant to look like wet rotting wood.
however i'll try decreasing the contrast of the wood tex and see how it looks.

edit: here we go, i do think it looks better. should i decrease it more or is that good?:
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c208/jarrod1937/well_4.jpg

[Japhir]

oh ok, i thought you where going for natural wood, like beams. (i actually had to look up that word /images/graemlins/wink.gif) The wood on the picture is made of wood totally grinded and then glued together, so that's why its looking diffrent.

[Japhir]

here is the boar guy i'm working on for challenge 32:
http://img131.imageshack.us/img131/543/boarre9.jpg
still need to scan my concept but my scanner doesn't work at the moment... /images/graemlins/frown.gif still got a lot to do...

[Jarrod1937]

i am going for natural wood, but wood still rots the same:
http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/77832/2/istockphoto_77832_wood.jpg i was going for something liek that but a little more progressed in rotting.

[Japhir]

i googled these:
http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/275070/2/istockphoto_275070_rotten_wood.jpghttp://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/2211270/2/istockphoto_2211270_wood_texture_iii.jpg
wood thends to go either very dry and full of tiny holes (we have lots of wood at our home so thats why i know about that /images/graemlins/grin.gif) or it can go really spongy and wet, then it is really fragile and tends to break very easily. i think the first one is a wet one and the second one a dry one...

[IronHawk]

Nice start rooster! Modular design is next on my project list.

[Jarrod1937]

ok, japhir, i changed the wood to make you happy ;-)
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c208/jarrod1937/well_6.jpg

i might add an edge loop so i can get rid of that annoying line near the top of the stones.

[rawkstar]

looks cool, i'd cut out a couple of those stones and make them stick in or out a little bit just so it doesn't look so much like a cylinder with a normal map applied to it /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Emil Mujanovic]

Ferg, I know its still WIP but it would have been cool to see some of the key elements from the concept carry through in the 3D model. For instance the missing arm, the loose tattered shirt, the missing shoe and the chunks ripped out here and there.

-caseyjones

[Ferg]

yep, still a wip, I'm planning on adding all those things... unfortunately I only have comp access a couple days a week so I wont be able to update him till next tuesday or so

what do you think of what's there right now, considering I haven't added the asymmetry yet

[Emil Mujanovic]

Personally I think you've done a great job with the model.
I made a rough as guts paintover for a few things I would have changed. The main thing would be the eyes, I like how they are small and round in the concept, yet on the model they look large and very jagged. Also a crotch and thinning out the legs a little.
http://www.itsonlikedonkeykong.net/polycount/paintovers/fergZombie001.gif

-caseyjones

[Ferg]

ah good advice on the crotch addition, thanks for the paintover. Here's a last minute update

the white eye areas won't be that big in the final texture, those'll be eye socket with a smaller eyeball inside em.

Doing alot of stuff these days. Here´s one of the things. Bet you´ve seen the model before *cough cough*. Felt like texturing a little so i went here and grabbed it. I´m just putting down the basic level of color and such right now, playing around a little.

Will try to finish it all sometime. I can´t get the right artistic mood going right now. I just sit and... sit and sit and sit. Not very productive to say the least. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

this is just a test bake with a little texture. very wip!

SEKNeox: very nice char /images/graemlins/smile.gif its a test of an idea really and to practice

[tacit math]

yeah. the browser stutters a bit when you try and scroll through the gif. but she's fine when it aint in view
.

pior. yes. i just modelled it in that pose to try and hit the character. i'll be straightening it out to sculpt and rig proper

not sure about any accessories. i was thinking two shorter spears. one in each hand. and maybe some light armour in the normal map

[tacit math]

and SEKNeox. that's a real nice character you got going there. digging the expressions

[Emil Mujanovic]

I think the concern was the 1.6MB image more than the gif lagging the browser.

-caseyjones

[tacit math]

ok. maybe i'm over estimating peoples connection speeds. i'll try and tone it down a little

[Neo_God]

strange, it didn't lag at all for me. Oh well.

[foreverendering]

Hey tacit I really like your work man, how long do you think it takes you on avg to create these characters? Seems like you always have a cool model blocked out every time I turn around!

I like the gifs btw, my browser's never had a problem with them... It's slow for the first rotation but once the frames get cached it's a pretty nice way to check out the model /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[foreverendering]

Oh yeah, tacit, I tried to visit your website so I could view your work but it says its under construction :'(

Any idea when it might be up?

[tacit math]

glad you like them foreverendering. your work is some of the best i've seen and pretty much sets the bar for me. it doesn't usually take that long to put together the low poly stuff ( -5000k ). once i've figured on what it is i'm gonna make it might take about a day. day and a half to build it up

the key is the texture work. a process i'm not terribly fond of. that's why the site aint up yet. i want to finish a texture of halfway decent quality before i dump all the other colourless wonders in there. of which there are many

working on a "special" rock for a map...
http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/8273/rocklv9.jpg

[IronHawk]

nice rock xysdf. I am not liking an area in the middle shot about midway up the rock there is a section with uniform stripes that doesn't look very natural. Is there any particular type of stone your trying to recreate?

[xysdf]

ironhawk: yeah you are right, the stripes need some work, currently they look a bit like elastic stonesplates, the should get sharpened. the whole idea of the rock is something like a rock which appears in the center of a map (and trys to be the centerpoint/meetingpoint) which should tell a story of the local culture living there as a art object. My thoughts about the type of rock are like if it was probably made up by local artists (or people) maybe over a great time where everyone formed a particular area of the rock - something like a mixed art-rock meetingpoint object. like some trees in the park which have all sort of local lovers and other crazy stuff cutted into the bark.

[IronHawk]

http://www.rockclimbing.com/ is a good reference for rocks. They have a large photo database. I recommend the artistic section. For good shots of single rocks check the bouldering area. Some of the shots will list the region and type of stone ie granite, limestone, sandstone ect...

[shape]

sweet work here guys!

Jarrod1937, that's looking pretty cool, maybe check the pixel density on the walls. It's looking noticeably lower than on the props.

[cholden]

Jarrod1937: what shape said. Always keep your pixel density even all around. Add more rock size variation, such as scatting lots of really smaller ones, and a few mediums to go with those larger ones. Also, change up the height of the floors/ceilings some. You can take it too pretty extreme levels so that it blocks visibility to other areas of the cave. FFD or Lattuce works great for this, though you may save it for a final stage.

[MoP]

Jarrod: cholden and shape have some good points there, overall I think it looks great! Take care of those issues and it will be awesome... keep it up /images/graemlins/smile.gif

EricElwell, thanks yeah I did a quick and nasty paintover of basic geometry concept just to throw some ideas for mood around.

Jarrod it's around 10k, at my target already but can use lots of optimisations. Looking better, pixel density still seems a bit low on the wall to the right /images/graemlins/frown.gif either that or the large rock directly next to it is mega hi res. Looking great tho.

RobG great style /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[cholden]

AHHH! why is it all grayscale and bright as the sun?

Watch out for low poly profile edges that stick like that small rock on the right. Silhouette is important when using normals because those low poly edges kill the high detail illusion you're trying to create.

sorry about the brightness, the lighting is yemporary, as for it being grey scale... its because its only normal mapped so far. so no color diffuse yet.

[rooster]

something I find helpful is to try and approximate the colours and lighting you're going for as early as possible, so sometimes just throwing on temp colours just to get the general tone is a good idea. the less surprises the better I say /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Sweet polypushing Tennis. Saw these on Eatpoo.
The pixel work on your site is awesome too.

[ironbearxl]

Showster - Really nice Optimus, maybe the windshield could use a darker gradient to tone down the reflection. Also it would be cools if the toon lines were thicker on the silhouette and thinner on the interior.

Rooster - thats looking sweet too. For the water you could make a wavy transparent plane above the river floor and make the blue color meet where the water plane and ground intersect.

Tennis - nice, especially the heli!

I model with maya, when i'm using textures with transparancy for example the hair that i'm plopping on my model here, one side of the texture goes black?? Wtf?

Any solution? The thing is though, because i'm duplicating the hair some of the objects go black and some are fine and double sided like they should be.

Can anyone help? If not i shall go on the prowl for a shotgun to shoot myself with.

Gavimage - nice character, it's going to be an awesome piece

Just testing out some ideas for the windmill textures, this was a basic sculpt over a mapped max subd mesh + nvidia filter. I might do the same for the walls.
http://www.artbyshape.com/polycount/shape_windmill_wip02.jpg

someone help RobG, quick /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[firestarter]

RobG, likelyhood is your normals are getting screwed when you are duplicating faces.
Try edit polygons&gt; normals&gt; conform, set to face... experiment freely on verts and faces.
Mayas alpha handling is sketchy at best especially if you are overlaying alpha`d planes, which no package likes, actually.

[Neox]

@RobG: i just love that style!
@tennis: simply awesome, really, i love your lowpoly works, great use of polygons and textures

here is a lowpoly version of my airborn character, 256x256x256x8bit alpha with 1125 faces, dunno maybe this is too much for apsp character, but i didn't want to kill even more details :/
thinking of doing a DS version later

[Emil Mujanovic]

RobG, I have a similar problem happen to me. But like firestarter suggested, its most likely your normals. I have a a script assigned to two buttons which fixes this error. By unlocking and locking normals.
Unlock:
polyNormalPerVertex -fn true;
Lock:
polyNormalPerVertex -ufn true;

Incase you're not sure how to add buttons to your shelf. Just open the script editor (window &gt; general editors &gt; script editor). Type or paste the code in the text field at the bottom of the editor, highlight the text by selecting it. Then just click drag the text to your desired shelf. You should see a grey MEL button appear in your shelf and you're done.

Hope what either firestarter or I have suggested helps.

EDIT: This post was in reply to the black faces on your model RobG, which it looks like it has been fixed. Gah, way to not see a next page... duh!

Wooo vaseline walls!
I think if you toned down the specularity and had some decent lighting, that cave would actually look kinda cool.
Just a suggestion, for the bits where the rocks clip into each other you should have some kind of blend layer to hide that. Like maybe some moss or something with alpha'd edges to blend back into the rock.

-caseyjones

EDIT: I thought my suggestion was a bit vague, so here's a quick example.

yeah, as i said the lighting (and spec settings) are all temporary while i work on the modeling. and yeah, i do understand what you mean, but i am not sure if i can sqeeze out too many more polys after i replace the low poly wood supports with more complex pillars, but if i have some to spare i will consider doing that.

edit: i was just checking out your site. is it just my browser being weird or do you have no images under the 2d and 3d sections?

rooster that's a beautiful looking scene already but I think you could make it better by a) adding water transparency, as johny suggested, and b) taking another look at the rock formations. I think those rock clumps on the cliff are both the best-looking and least-realistic part of the scene - in the sense that the colors and shading are super, but the actual formations are too weird! They look like rock tongues dripping down the slope. maybe it's possible to make them look more convincingly piled?

Michael Douglas was actually the first person I thought of when I saw the picture, before even reading the Hollywood bit. Therefore, since I'm usually terrible at figuring out who a model is meant to be, you've either got a good likeness down (if it is him) or I have some kind of sub-conscious obsession with Michael Douglas...

I will look closer at his nose (without addition new polys),it's not so easy " LOW POLY LIKENESS ".

Michael 's got already 772 polys tris.

just don't use noise was my constructive criticism there you either paint your structure yourself recommended if you go for a cartoony look or just overly a photo that has a suiting structure !!
