So what are you working on?

[Irritant]

Starting a new texture set...

http://cor.planetquake.gamespy.com/codered/testpics/tekwall1.jpg

http://cor.planetquake.gamespy.com/codered/testpics/light1.jpg

[Slum]

irritant: the top one needs a LOT more detail for the size that it is. more hand painted 1pixel detail, and i'd definitely kick back the dark shadows a bit, along with the bright light in the middle. even on older tech (which i'm assuming you're still working with) that much baked lighting pretty much wont look good.

[Irritant]

Removed the lighting in the middle /images/graemlins/smile.gif That texture will be scaled down to 1/2 that size in maps...hmm dark shadows, you're right they are too dark. (edit) toned them down some

[Slum]

The main issue with the shadows is still there. they are too dark, and really the most crippling factor about them is that they are directional shadows cast from an angle.

The light is coming from the top right. If this texture was on a map and there was a light to the bottom left, it would look completely silly.

You should use some baked AO and maybe maybe a little top down shadows, but if ever possible try to stay away from very profound casting shadows like that.

Hello everyone,

I'm new here to the Polycount forums. Thought I would start things off by posting something I was thinking about revisiting and revamping. I did this about five years ago and was never quite pleased with the colors in the texture map (I think they are a bit too saturated). Anyway, comments and suggestions are welcome.

great, i only use meshes like this for sculpting now, its super flexible and much easier to make changes to. not to mention how much faster it is, it would of taken twice as long if i tried to define all the proportions with the base mesh. i can really sculpt any head i want from just that one mesh.

[MoP]

Awesome stuff, Aniceto... I love it!

[Tennis]

Jackablade:
yeah you might be right, if i leave it on its own.
the idea is, that its for either DS or cellphones. If i were to use it in a cellphone game, i would include all textures in one sheet, so the 48x48 would be part of a much bigger texture. im not sure, if you could just do the same on the DS, i don't have any experience with 3d on that system.

aniceto:
wow thats amazing, really cool design.

[pior]

Wow aniceto that's rock solid!

Do you mind telling which realtime preview method you used on this? So far I've seen many different ones possible in max but each had flaws (mirror seams, lights not updating aso) hence I was curious to hear which one you used here. JIStyle's gave me great results on skin but I have not tested it with metals yet.

Your model seems to render perfectly even including things like colored specular and glow, so yeah if you don't mind sharing...

[Jaco]

Very nice aniceto! Agreed with pior, how do you render your images?

[Jarrod1937]

i too am wondering this. and does it work with 3ds max 7 (can't afford to get 8 or 9)?

[EricElwell]

aniceto, that totally rocks! The slit on the paddle-face looks like it'd be a cool robotic mouth, though I doubt that's what you were going for, that's what popped out to me. Totally sweet!

[vahl]

really nice aniceto, same question as pior tho /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Looks to me like it might just be Max8/9's DX Display of material?

Thanks guys.
Mop is correct, nothing fancy to report. Max 8, 3 lights and DX display of standard material checked.

Damn aniceto, that's sweet. One of the coolest characters I've seen in a while here.

any chance of a peek at your maps aniceto? your metal diff and spec work great together

[Tumerboy]

por, nice stuff, though I have to say, the gas pump does feel almost TOO rusty. i.e. it's very uniform and i think it might be more effective to break it up and just have the scratches & rust in specific parts (corners & high use areas) and then leave some of the paint that you can fade, to add to the age without just beating it to shit LOL

Nice work though, keep it up.

not too happy with the front :/

[gauss]

Eric: your painting continues to improve, and while I know those are just experiments, I think you might want to be careful. Your last few pieces remind me of Photoshop art from people who have just learned Photoshop and can't get enough of certain filters. It's one of the dangers of playing with custom brushes, particularly if they're not your own--you just want to play with these new really cool toys and you lose sight of the painting itself a little, right?
A lot of the depth/clarity of your pieces have suffered since playing with the Barontieri brushes/Sparth clonestamping. I have faith that you'll find your way around these tools/techniques with some more practice and integrate them better into your own art, but don't force it.
Better yet, if you like some of the effects that the Barontieri brushs provide, build your own. They won't match perfectly, but they'll be your own variation, brushes you understand from the ground up.
CA.org is a wonderful community that nurtures a lot of talented artists, but it also unfortunately breeds copycats and art-drones. Be careful about drawing too much water from the same well as all those hundreds of other guys /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Tennis: Very, very awesome.

yeah Tennis! Wow! that stuff it totally inspiring.

[flaagan]

Tennis.. that is truly bad-ass! I think what you need to do to that front end to make it more aggressive is move the headlights out the edges of the fenders, give them a pointed top (either coming together /\ or to one side |\ ) and then widen that grill out plus give it a curved top /---\ with fewer but wider vertical chrome pieces. (Hooray for text-based concepting! /images/graemlins/tongue.gif)

http://ldaustinart.com/paul/box_stack.jpg

And a shot in different lighting... (http://ldaustinart.com/paul/box_stack_alt.jpg)

1024x1024 diffuse, normals and 24-bit spec maps. 192 triangles. Overkill I know, but I just wanted to mess around.

Still need to add some decals to the textures (like "This Way Up" and some icons, etc.). Got loads of room left on the sheet for variations, stain decals and stuff, I'll probably do some packing beads, bubble wrap and torn bits of paper and cardboard to be used as particle effects for when the boxes are blown up.

[conte]

Hey mop, that boxes looks very nice!=)
...dof ummm...

[Slum]

Nice mop. At least they're not wooden crates.

[demoncage]

mop, those are sweet. but there's a slight feeling of soft fabric to the cardboard material, i think it might be the grain overlay, like the surface is not smooth enough. but all in all, looks sweet.

*edit: maybe it's because they're meant to look wet?

[pior]

Made some fake location screenshots using pics of vintage swimming pools taken from the tinternets!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v242/pior_ubb/bythepool.png

Got a few more in stock :P

[Slum]

is that razr phone in her pants, or is she just happy to see me?

looks great though.

[Prs-Phil]

yeah nice one pior, allthough her croth area should be much more detailed like with a 100 more polys and an own 512 texture, nothing beats a sexy well light crotch on a bathing suit oh yeah, and shimmer demands more normal maps for the people.

Looking good rooster, I would use less brushes with a hard falloff, I tryed that to, but it was much more of an issue to me to get the forms going with so much pinchyness on the mesh, seems much harder to me. Shimmer demands more normalmaps for the people.

... yeah normal maps, normal maps I´m nothing new, giving me more definition to the surface I´m giving to tadadada

[Spacey]

Tennis: <3 <3 <3

pior: Diggin' all over this model, but it looks like she's sporting some man hands of the lobster crushing variety.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y121/wootmonkey/manhands_seinfeld.jpg

[Eclipse]

Awesome work and style Pior, the only thing I am seeing is that the hands look a bit manly and big, especially the one on her hip, just doesn't seem to fit the rest of her.

[RazorBladder]

Sweet boxes MoP, really like the dampness coming through.

I can't get this fuckin song outta my head, so I thought I'd mess around and make somethin for fun.

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/gerald.hunt1/blammo.jpg

No guesses to what the song was..

[KeyserSoze]

RazorBladder... that's better than bad, it's good. It's LOG!

good one johny

[xysdf]

mop: nice boxes, maybe the carton material is a bit too shiny.
pior: awesome!
demoncage: great shapes & flow! does this helmet exist in real?

[killingpeople]

mop: the pinch formations on the box corners make it feel as if the cardboard is cloth-like.

Just checked, triangle count is around 6000.

RazorBladder are you gonna tell us what song that is? cuz i have no clue

tell him there's oinment for that kinda condition.

I've tried, he's one of those guys who thinks doctors are phony, and refuses to go. instead, he just sits bodiless in my apartment and spews personal insults at me all day. chuck is such a fucking dick.

http://redprodukt.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/pooman.jpg

[Vitor]

Rooster that is incredibly bumpy. Don't pass over lowlevel subdivisions to start sculping. Use each subdiv to its maximum, that will make your model better and avoid a good number of bumpy surfaces.

[MoP]

i think it's meant to be a burns victim or something?

[rooster]

er please don't worry I'm not done /images/graemlins/tongue.gif. Thats just a first pass 'sketch' to rough out mass

[MoP]

I would usually rough out masses at a lower subdivision, rich... any reason for sketching the masses at that level of detail?

[Jaco]

Nice doodles MoP!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v332/Jacoh/Untitled-1-2.jpg

Rooster, I am not sure but maybe the arms need some more length or his hand need to be a bit bigger. I do like the clay look a lot, keep it up.

Extremely close, anyways. Looks pretty solid. Now toss a normal/spec map on it /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[_Oz]

we have almost the same desk then:).
that door already has a spec if you look closely.
You can see the spec a bit better on this video.:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iD5nE0nwyWE

[Matabus]

Woah ... looks more like a reflection map than spec. Looks a bit like there is a glass panel over top of it. I would suggest a MUCH more muted spec with no reflection mask.

[_Oz]

hey , thanks man it looks better now..i think.
http://img479.imageshack.us/img479/8571/screenshot2rd9.png
