So what are you working on?

[Jaco]

Yay! I made a shield for oblivion! This is just the normal map and a pure white (with some baked in light) diffuse at the moment:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v332/Jacoh/OblivShield.jpg

@ Davision3D It's pretty highpoly, and the sharp look is because I hardly ever use the soft brushes in mudbox, only the scratch brush, as well as the flatten tool.

[StJoris]

Working on some low-polyish/last gen model, no normal map, just diffuse and spec perhaps.

cool shield Jaco!
what documentation did you use to get it in game? was there an easy way to do that?

[Jaco]

Thanks! It was pretty easy, I used this (http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/Custom_shield_mesh)tutorial.

[Ged]

cool shield!, nice tutorial too... I wanted to make a sci-fi weapon for oblivion haha, it would be hilarious to walk around cyrodil blowing stuff up with a rocket launcher..for a little while anyway /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

thats cool vitor! great style!

[StJoris]

Very cool model vito! Are you going to release an sdk for it?

[Makkon]

Love your stuff, vitor. Great style /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Been digging up some semi-older stuff and fixing it. I should REALLY start texturing about now...

[Davision3D]

@ daghen
Comeing along nicely. I think his head is hard to read but the texture can do there a lot.

@ Vitor
Cool model but i hate bunny killers! /images/graemlins/wink.gif
Are this 5 egdes cylinder on the side? If you want the model that low poly you should better make them only in the texture! The band could also be partly textured on the body.

@ IronHawk
Nice, but the freamework on the side should also be beveled to get something in the normal map.

Makkon
Cool character! The face looks very feminine but something is missing on the body. /images/graemlins/wink.gif The ears are strange because it looks like she trys to hear whats behind her.

[Makkon]

Davision3D: Actually... that's a male. Does he really look that feminine? If so I really ought to rebuild the face entirely.
And adding boobs to an underdeveloped masculine body would be wierd. Perhaps the child-like proportions contribute to the whole feminine thing, maybe it's something that should be rethought. /images/graemlins/frown.gif I might need to slim down the pelvis or something...
but a female counterpart isn't a bad idea.

[DemonPrincess]

@ Makkon: to me it looks pretty genderless. IMHO it could work both ways around.

Anyway, here's my lastest pixel piece! It's 32 colors.

http://www.wayuki.nl/images/pixels/wayuki-pixel-warrior_of_light.gif

[Japhir]

thats awsome demonprincess! really cool!

[IronHawk]

Thats one hot angel! Nice work demonprincess.

[Davision3D]

@ Makkon
Its mainly the pointed chin. The small nose makes it also a bit feminine. Of course the child-like proportions contribute also to this but then the pose makes it more adult.
But the main problem is i just try to see too much human in this. He should have some fox elements in him right? Thats much about colour and fur that are not yet seeable.
Starfox has pointed chin and it works for me:
http://www.geocities.jp/electro01aso/starfox.DW.jpg

[rollin]

that is some hot pixxeling...

[Sectaurs]

DemonPrincess;

as my co-worker said when shown the piece:

"That's Retarded Super-Nice."

[Uly]

Some sweet stuff in here.
@Makkon: Can never have enough tots toting guns. Looking forward to the alpha madness which will likely ensue.

[Ged]

Hey Makkon thats a kewl character, I thought it was male originally cause it kinda reminds me of Ratchet and Clank. The other guys suggestions about the chin etc sound good.

Heres what Ive been working on lately, I call it Scavenger. Its a high poly model for a little scene I would like to make.

[Soccerman18]

wow DP, you're improving quite a bit. Reminds me of the kind of paintings you'd see on a church ceiling. Why limit to only 32 colors? Not sure if I like the color of the background on it, makes the whole image seems a bit monochromatic. A more contrasting color would help the figure stand out more.

[killingpeople]

always liked that character makkon, i'm glad to see you're taking it further.

[/ QUOTE ]

Do you need a reason to be awesome? /images/graemlins/wink.gif

I kid, I kid.

-It's a challenge.
-It has its own look and feel that can't be achieved in full-color art.
-There's no point in doing pixel art if it doesn't end up looking pixel arty, hence the low color count and dither patterns. Even at 64 colors a pixel piece will start to look like a regular old digital painting... except it takes much longer to do.
-A limited palette creates a harmonious, unified color scheme.
-Using a limited palette forces you to think about color in a different way and therefor will improve your understanding of color. This is beneficial outside of pixel art as well.

[CheapAlert]

heh, you should go even lower colordepth and go for the eastern oekaki-ish type of stuff rather than amiga style /images/graemlins/wink.gif

[Uly]

Snake, it's looking cool, but a better lighting rig would really help show off the work you've done. Throw a back light in there so there's no pitch black shadows. You seem to have some pixel density issues where the pillars meet the floor, but overall, a strong piece.

Having trouble finding time for personal projects in between my own free time and work, so I'm gonna try and do this to get back on track. Just finished the front and back profiles, should make modelling accurate & easy.

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g304/krasnoarmiich/samaritanorthographic.jpg

[osman]

snake, as uly said, you need to get rid of the pitch black shadows, i'd try a darkblue ambient light.
Also the floor tiles need more uv space

That's not pixel art! That's oekaki. /images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Pixel art is about very fine control of your pixels. Just because something has a low color count, doesn't necessarily make it pixel art. Sketchy style doesn't really do it for me, to be honest.

I've worked with lower color depths, btw. The EGA palette, for one. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[CheapAlert]

note the -ish. I love adding "ish".

Not really working on this model and skin but I did give OA a test on a voodoo'd p2 and it doesn't look so bard (http://openarena.ws/shots/oldcard/3dfxbanshee/shot0015.jpg)

Hi! My first post here!
This is a guy I'm working on in my spare time. It's actually only the second game specific character I've tried. So, still learning, but quickly thanks to this forum!
Along with the weapons he's just under 1500 tris.

Very nice work. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[snake85027]

http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l74/spawn85027/floor-1.jpg
I went in and adjusted the density on the lights and I doubled the floor texture from 512 to 1024 and then multiplied that layer and put an mulitply effect at 50 percent and then did smart sharpen. Hopefully that looks better, if not im going to repaint it. Oh yea Im having trouble painting bark.

[Quasar]

Blaizer - That's sweet, totally reminds me of those guys from Earthworm Jim who charge at you /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Snake - I think you have a nice piece going, I especially like the columns, but I'm sorry to say that up sizing textures doesn't really work. The sharpening you did makes it stand out even more because the ground is now more contrasty then everything else :\ As for the tree, have you tried painting in the volumes then overlaying bark textures?

@notman: Yea that's why I said cobra. 'Wonders' if spacemonkey doesn't have any plans for it he might make Serpentor out of it. Here's for hoping though I think it's a long shot that those were his intentions.

Nice but the head looks strange. Mainly the eyes are too small and too much in the middle.

Cool Robot, some more stuff on hin would be nice.

Looking good, you could use alpha textures to save a lot of polys.

[Rhinokey]

uh oh sayanora you know what hapened to several guys from polycount when they started modeling warhammer stuff doncha?

lookin pretty good so far. its pretty bold and chunky i like that, warhammer online models would be a bit more detailed than that, but its shaping up really nice.

I tried making a head with proper edge loops and all quads, it was harder than I thought it would be but i got there. Still not satisfied with some parts though..

The left one is modelled in max, the right one is supposed to be a female variation of the left one. I imported it in mudbox and deformed it (took only a few minutes).

[Davision3D]

@ Peris
Looks very good.
Im not sure, but isnt it also beneficial to make as possible same sized polys to get a better mesh for subdividing??
So deleting loops in the eye and ear area would then be beneficial.
Another loop between mouth and nose wouldnt be wrong although.

@ achmedthesnake
Nice, i think the face texture needs more contrast

I finally made something thats somewhat realistic. But it's Sarutobi from naruto, aka the 3rd hokage. my limit on him is 2k tris, im at like...1660.

That sculpt has a lot of potential, Fuse. I think a lot of the muscle masses could be improved upon, though. The naval in particular stands out. The area below the pectorals, the triceps, and the external obliques also look a bit funky. Other than that, I think it's all looking pretty hot.

Post more soon. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Fuse]

it's an anatomy study so i think i overcompensated with some of the muscles, it's a wip so i am yet to tone down some areas to look believeable, i am polishing my sculpting technique too on this one.

I know its a wip but maybe some of my crits can help nevertheless:
- Muscle structure of the back of the arm looks weird (mainly the long muscle near the elbow)

yeah i think its too repetitive Lupus,also the street lamps look too big compared to the rest.They should be thinnier.

This is my first post here at these boards. I have been trolling aorund them for quite some time now and I have noticed a good deal of amazing work being shown here.

Well heres my first picture, its a weapon I've been working on for over a week now, its for a source mod I'm making.

[StJoris]

Hi there, and welcome to polycount, That is some pretty looking weapon, funky mechanics, how does it work?

[fuxer]

Mudboxing!!

[timwiese]

It shoots a steel ball with a high powered burst into enemys (this ball is permenantly connected to the gun by the chain). Then when it hits the ground the motor on the side near the back starts up and retracts the steel ball back to the gun, rolling the chain back up in the gear at the back.

Used a head I got from a tutorial to test some shaders. I made the shader with a Gradient Ramp and a falloff with a little speckle for the Spec. Kinda fun.

I will admit though, that it looks best from this angle. Meh.

[Illusions]

Fuse, I've been meaning to post this for a while. Your anatomy sculpting is looking good, there are some issues which I'm sure you're probably aware of with the back of the legs, and the ears are too low on his head. At least from the view you have rendered out. The tops of the ears should line up approximately with the bridge of the nose, and the earlobes with the base of the nose. That...and the belly button is kinda suggestive...if you catch my drift.

I know you probably don't want to, but it would be a good learning exercise
for you to also model the penis on this guy. Human anatomy flows and links
parts together, the penis is an integral part of this. And is, at the end of the
day, literally what makes us human.

[Blaizer]

with this... wip
http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/8700/testbm3.jpg

[Fuse]

yes i agree hawken, as i sculpted the muscle groups it was quite remarkable how all the muscles connected and flowed.. Right now i want to leave it as it is, and move one with a more focused normal mapped project so finally get a highspec piece into my portfolio.


i know that some proportiosn are off and i didnt embellish the right muscles in the right place, this was a study to really get an idea of how muscles flow so i think i ended up leaning a lot in the process .. it refined my sculpting technique too..

The abs still look pretty weird, Fuse. It's coming along, but take a look at this reference.

http://anatomy.med.umich.edu/surface/abdomen/abdomen.jpeg

His naval really stands out in particular. It shouldn't bulge out like it does. Our navels are really just scars from the umbilical cord in our abs, and thus there's no muscle tissue around surrounding it.

[hawken]

I guess you'd need to look at a navel on someone with 0% body fat.
The model above is insanely lean compared to that picture.

[Davision3D]

@ fritz
Cool design

@ Blaizer
Very good texture work!

@ Fuse
I think the most of it is very accurate modeled but there are some muscels that seems very rushed without reference.

here is an update on my badrach character, the polycount really turned out lower than i expected it to be.

[Emil Mujanovic]

serofin, the leaf necklace is probably the only thing with some real depth. Everything else looks really flat. It's definitely a good start to the texture, but it looks far from complete (well to me anyway).
You need to get back in there and throw in some shadows and highlight to make this character pop.

yea I agree with you to be honest, but this was for a tech demo that had to be shipped out on sunday night, so consideirng I had less than a day (only given the model 2 days prior and they wanted it to be textured and to be rigged in that time as well as modeled) Im surprised she wasnt just completely flat colors /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I might go back and touch up on her in the next few days if the tech demo goes well /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[/ QUOTE ]True, but even then, navels just don't look like that. Look at pictures of Schwarzenegger, or other body builders. There's no buildup around it. It's basically just a cavity in the abdomen.
