So what are you working on?

[Pavel]

YEaah!!!!

diffuse map with 70% self illumination.
normal and spec ahead

[PolyHertz]

Like it so far BeatKitano, particularly the face.

A few suggestions:
The cleft in the chin seems a bit odd, you might want to fade it out a bit as its comming across as a bit too masculin atm.
The head is a little too smal for the body, and the chest armor seems all around to big for her frame. Assuming you'll be giving the upper arms shielding as well she may end up having a hard time relaxing her arms at her sides. If you'r not going to be putting armor on her arms though, give them more muscles tone as atm they look too weak to be lifting and regularly using heavy weaponry.

[SupRore]

Pavel, that's completely awesome, but not too well suited for normal/spec.

Anyway, really early progress on this texture...

[B0r3D]

I just started working on a low(ish)poly hostage replacement for CS. Very wip atm. She currently weighs in at 1723 tris.

[Uly]

Hey Suprore, it's looking mighty sexy.
Post your low poly geo when you get the chance, too!

[Prs-Phil]

Nice one Pavel, liked the first version better though, the details and the busyness came across more pleasing to my eye.

[SupRore]

Thanks uly. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Wires are nothing special, it's around 4700 tris -- here you go:
http://i14.tinypic.com/4qgvbeb.jpg

[Ged]

Hey beatkitano that deamia is great, something strikes me as strange about her proportions from the front, is her neck perhaps a bit long?

[MightyPea]

Both her neck and her underarms, I reckon. That, and the collar of the armour seems a bit incomfortably angled, as well.

[Phobos]

Here is a texture I have been using as practice creating normal maps in modo. This program is great I'm having a load of fun using it.
The images are scaled down from 2048. I will be using them at 1024 if these do end up becoming part of a project.

[RazorBladder]

Fucking Hell Renaud.... /images/graemlins/frown.gif

Really shaping up now Sup :]

[bitmap]

Damn Renaud, how do you get such sweet renders?
looks like vray and a whole lot of polys. how do you manage to import them into max without killing your pc?

[thomasp]

mmmh, i found max9 handles a lot of polys quite well, probably ymore so if you have the 64bits version. try just importing the mesh and it's normals - and turn unify off. works for me most of the time anyway.

nice fish (?) btw. and if it's not supposed to be one, make it one please /images/graemlins/wink.gif

anyway, trying to finish something oooold here, need to stop slacking after work:
http://thomaspecht.de/randomstuff/mztest.jpg

[commander_keen]

Phobos, really nice diffuse, the normal is a bit wonky and lacks detail in the middle. Looks like you could teach Bungie a thing or 2 /images/graemlins/cool.gif

[Phobos]

lawl thanks Keen /images/graemlins/laugh.gif
Good confidence builder. Im looking for a new gig and its kind of depressing.

Brain fart I had one night. Going to keep working on it. Might use this texture later, just got some more ram for my mac book so I'll be pumping out some more displacements. Really wish mud or zb3 where natively compatible on osx. However Modo is really turning me on.

[commander_keen]

Yeah, did they release the new Modo with the vector displacement map sculpting feature yet? Looked pretty cool when I saw it a few weeks ago.

Sweet sculpting as always Renaud.

[Renaud Galand]

thx all !

bitmap : basically, it's about 1.000.000 polymesh imported in max 9 with a simple skylight/light tracer (multiplier set to 0.4 to not kill all the details) and 2 omnis : the key light (0.6) and the backlight (2.0). The skylight take the job of the fill light. Actually, it's just a matter of placing your lights.

The material is a standard light grey material with a bit of specular.

WOW! that was complexe eh? /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Hope it helps

That fucking R0X RobG !

[spacemonkey]

crazy sculpt renaud! Fantastic /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Looking cool RUZ- Im glad you cropped that ZBRUSH screenshot there though!

The front of shoe in the shot above looks a little too flat and lowpoly though to me - another cut or two to round it out a bit maybe?

[Ruz]

cheers FAT_CAP. yeah, I haven't got around to fixing the boots yet.
Gotta fix the bottom of the trousers too, the mapping/slihouette is a bit messed up

[rooster]

Ruz- out of curiosity what kind of brush settings? (any chance you could describe them in a non program specific way /images/graemlins/tongue.gif)

[Ruz]

yeah , its just in zbrush I use the std brush with the alpha that looks like a nipple, ie large fall and sharp point in the middle. great for sharp details/creases/skin detail etc
see diagram
http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/6357/alphsaa8.jpg

[rooster]

aha, yeah that looks similar to the setting I like in mudbox as well.. with the curve that goes kind of like:

http://tangentsoft.net/audio/bitmaps/pwr10-curve.png

but the other way round

[Ruz]

cool, only taken me 2 years to figure this out doh:)

[DarthRevanII]

Ruz, I just gotta say...I love that guy you are working on man. It has awesome form and great detail to it. Normally a model/character like that I'd find a bit boring, but you've done something with it to make it great eye candy /images/graemlins/smile.gif. Might be the good choices of color and saturation you've used, no idea, but it looks great

[Neo_God]

Looks cool artrynk, but I think I would have invested some of those 7000 polies into making parts of his armor stick out. Rather than just having the majority of it painted on. It sorta makes him look like he's wearing a giant foam suit with an armor texture painted onto it.

Here is my entry for the 2nd mini comp over at Game Artisans. I didn't have time to texture him since I only found out about it one day before it was due :P. But I got the model done and thats all that was needed. The concept was provided by FredH. Crits welcome, the poly limit was 500 tris.

http://www.brandonmorris.info/show.jpg

[almighty_gir]

artrynk: looking really good, but i think you're lacking a lot of contrast, and having a good specular map will make it look a million times better.

my first sculpture,

http://www.rensedeboer.com/art/sculpt4.jpg

@rens did you make a armature for the legs?you're prolly best off welding/solder a metal frame to support the weight
or make a frame out of kippengaas,hehe

[Rens]

kippengaas xD

i made a frame of copper, 3 wires of 2mm twisted together, but i guess it was not strong enough. (i used copper so i could weld them together with tin.)

i should probably try 6 wires thick or step over to hardwelding,

btw, she is around 60cm high, or originaly she was, before plumming into a pile of clay.

hey RobG - awesome work, one possible crit though - you might wanna put more polys into the 'bust' area- just as she goes sideways they look weird/triangluar
as i said, really minor crit - i just depends on the detail you need in the game you're making her for - when you render her into sprites...

[caseyjones]

Sayanora: Awesome job, you really nailed the style with that piece.
RobG: Could you post some wires? I also agree with achmedthesnake about the boobs looking a little off. The back of the head is looking a little square as well. Everything else is looking sweet dude.

-caseyjones

[RobG]

Thanks guys,

I'd rather not post the wires, im not a 3d artist and i know that the wires are wrong. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[Gavimage]

Rob, That's looking really bad ass. If you're not going to post wires, could you at least post us some flats? all of your 3d pieces have a very nice look to them, I'd be interested to see how you went about it. I guess it's just all in your painting style, eh?

To save time i don't bother unwrapping the uv's it seems to work fine with simple planar mapping.

[Smirnoffka]

To be 100% honest, to me the most impressive thing is the fact that you got such good results from planar mapping like that. I cannot see any stretching at all. Bloody well done mate, I like it alot!

QFT, especially the bloody well done part

crit: In the concept art on your site, you have her undies wider in the back and under her bum. It's a straight V on the model version, and for some reason I noticed and disliked this change instantly. Otherwise, really really cool. I love the way you handled the jacket especially, very clean and elegant. I love seeing you pimp the stuff from this magical mystery game of yours /images/graemlins/smile.gif

You may not be a "3D Artist" as such, but you're doing 3D all the same. So if you're going to do something, you'd want to do it right.
I figured that's why you were pimping your stuff, you wanted crits to improve what you've done. Without a wire shot, it makes it pretty tricky to give advice on your mesh.
But that's totally up to you man.
Great work all the same.

RobG: That skirt design gives me wood. For real.

Caseyjones - I totally understand what you are saying, im just a little embarassed... i just really dont want to take my 3d stuff seriously im just posting my little 3d dabbles for fun, whereas if it were about my 2d art i would totally prick up an ear for crits most definatly.

[Keg]

Normal map doesn't seem to add anything to the look of the wheel barrow.

Also texture size could be cut in half.

[HEx]

hehe it really does, i promise you, it looks retarded without it, and i can't really do anything about the texture size, it was in the mission specs. They wanted 1024 maps, i have no idea why.

[JKMakowka]

The tire really needs a proper normal map! It is a textbook example for useing one.

[Baddcog]

Master_v12,

Love that goblin, that's gotta be the sickest helmet I've ever seen! I wanna see a good posed pic when you're done, you should make a scene out of it!

[oglemeanimations]

man, there's twice as many wheelbarrows here as there were last time..winterlord, lookin' good, Hex, agreed about the normal mappage on the wheel, if it's there, it could use some enhancing.

Update from me, headed towards the finish line, I think..
http://www.angelfire.com/wa3/emilyogle/alleywip24.jpg

[Ruz]

oglemeanimations , perhaps the walls should be lighter than the floor. this would separate the two( or make the floor darker). They seem to blend together as it stands. Gnerally i think more contrast is needed.

[oglemeanimations]

Thanks for the comment Ruz, changed some textures up a bit and made the lighting a bit more contrast-y.
http://www.angelfire.com/wa3/emilyogle/alleywip26.jpg

[John Warner]

hey ogle, i almost think it was better before.. a little bit easier to read, actually. i think that it would help to have more contrast, but i think the objects themselves need to be separated more. i dont really know what to look at right now, my eye kinda goes everywhere without any clear boundaries. it looks like you've got all sorts of great stuff in there and it would be great if it tied together a bit more.

i hope you don't mind, i did a quick shitty paint over.. i framed the center with a bit of darkness and accented that with a color shift from cool to warm. it would help to change the focus so that something curious was happening with that figure but I'm getting a little too much involved with your work at that point haha

- tried to improve the shape
- removed the noise on the normal map, smudged some areas
- added a little bit of grunge to the black plastic
- fixed the mirroring

I'm not sure what exactly is wrong with the normal map, could you explain it to me?

[MoP]

NeoShroomish: I always thought that mouse was more of this shape:
http://www.greveson.co.uk/mousepaint.jpg

I'm assuming you have one there since you're modelling it and using photo reference - if you want to get the shape right, just go to a side ortho view, and look at the real mouse... you should see it's nowhere near as long, and has more of a definite shape - like a slope up, curve at the top/back, and a sharp slope down.

Multivac:

Wow, that is looking really nice man, The textures are rich and add a nice feel to the whole cabin.

2 1024 aint bad...If you are using pretty much the same 2 textures on the whole train, then thats even better, Just pretty much depends on the amount of Unique textures the engine has to load for your environment. Thats alright I'd say for the amount of unique things their are, but You prbly could have gotten away with 1 1024 and 1 512 and it would have been fine. Nice work none-the-less. Keep us posted

Edit:: I am a douche...there's like 5 posts above with info about enzo in them...duhhh.

[Makkon]

Sheesh, prior! Your texture compliments your model like nothing else. So enzo works? I think I'll grab that then. You've sold it to me.

As for me, I'd LOVE to finish something, for once in my life, by the end of this year. I think I might want to see this one through. Any suggestions on what should be changed?

My weekends work. Probably could have been uv'ed better but good enough. mainly made for a lab prop (octopus specimin in a jar) but will probably be boned and animated at some point.

Cut down alot of polys for in jar prop, it is only 600 polys.

Fun anyway, haven't done much in the way of sealife before.

[NeoShroomish]

The white stuff looks wrong, I'm not even sure what it is.

[TheWinterLord]

thanks for the header il try tone the scratches down where needed and work more on them ofcourse.

or do you mean the white stuff on the mode button and under it?

[NeoShroomish]

Heh I know what that is, looks fine. Maybe you could try making it a bit duller on the diffuse, and then white on the specular? A larger render would help too (unless that's actually the size it's going to be seen at).

i believe that pior and robg should mate and have babies.
how? i dont know.

I've been working on an environmental artist folio piece. I'm new to the environmental art mindset, so I could use as much direction as possible. It is a decrepit riverside mill. Built for semi-higher-end MMO specifications, slight stylization considerations in scale, however maintaining realism is still key. Trying to avoid next-gen 'brown syndrome' without losing realism too. It is still a WIP, I just started the roof texturing. C/C are welcomed and appreciated. I'm planning to build and texture an environment plot for it as well with foliage and whatnot. I'm looking bury the hatchet in this one soon and thought I'd seek help from fellow polycounters to get a final heading towards victory and jobs (hopefully!) /images/graemlins/smile.gif. Thanks.

[caseyjones]

That came out looking pretty nice dude, pity you're not pimping most of the detail that was on the ceiling as well.
A few crits:
The candle flames could do with another plane to cross over to give it a bit more depth rather than being a singular plane. Its making the rest of the candle holder look really flat.
The scale to me is looking a little strange when comparing the doors with the thick wood and large stones. There's really nothing in there with real world reference to scale. It could just be the candle holders may be a little big? I could be wrong though.
Great stuff and good luck with the art test!

Hey guys, thanks for the comments, I'll need to hack away at it again tomorrow!

Snowefly: yeah, I think you are getting somewhere though. I'm having a hard time getting motivated enough to even start. I find it very hard to appreciate anime. (ducks in anticipation of flying fruit) .. but hey, at least I tried once...

[HEx]

SWEET snowfly, i was thinking of making something similar in the future, it's really well made, which it deserves i might add. usually when people try to make manga characters, they usually turn out bad cause they try to get their drawn faces, but i can say that your remake still is rock lee /images/graemlins/laugh.gif
But i still think that you should make his legweights a bit higher up. it feels like its a part of the sandals as they are now.

[snake85027]

started working on the hands again, the image that im going by im not sure how accurate the hands are. I tried putting my hand and arm in the same position but didnt look right so I tried to go by what it looks like in a mirror that Im using. Any tips would help thanks.http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l74/spawn85027/HANDwork.jpg

[HEx]

snake, you should fix the hands thumb bone, it's like as if it's non existent on your model. Take up some references on hands and you'll see what i mean. There are usually really good drawings of hands in the sketch forums at http://www.conceptart.org

pushing my sci fi wall asset further

[Tiax]

really nice wall rated , but i think diffuse&light can be improved. a little darker&higher contrast diffuse (dark brownish , you know , "real" and "next-gen" is brown /images/graemlins/smile.gif ) and blurry blue or dark orange lights maybe( which will also give brownish effect on wall).
also you may wanna make those lights a bit weaker , it looks futuristic but also unrealistic. just imagine a full corridor or a room with that much light /images/graemlins/wink.gif
keep up the good work , i love it /images/graemlins/smile.gif

More Z reacquainting, this time trying to nail a likeness. Started with arsh's base bust, added some geo at the mouth area so it would support a mouth cavity. The reference has a pretty strong jawline, which is screwing with my head. Profile is still mannish...

@ LoTekK
Who is this? /images/graemlins/smile.gif
It seems your working in a too high Sdiv for that level of detail.

@ Flynny
Funny character
You should make the head shape with more polys or make the eyes with planes and the teeth as only 2 objects.

@ HEx
It looks great!
But that high holes and metal contrast on the floor is a problem! You can see the crazy effect it makes in the back. It will dither a lot ingame.

The refs I'm using are of a local hottie celebrity. You're probably right about being at too high a subd level (that shot's either at 90k or 350k), but part of that has to do with how much fun it is to work clay-style (clay tubes plus flatten brush is just so much fun /images/graemlins/tongue.gif)

Forgot to post the finished up head from my last post here. This one's at 400k (i forget which subd level that is from a polysphere)

[Makkon]

HEx: Kickass hallway! Love the textures.

Progress..... I don't have areal predetermined idea of where I want to go with this, but I want to finish it anyway. When I was walking home yesterday I thought I should try to cover up the boring bits (limbs) with armor and shields and 2 hook swords, and have it all scratched and rusted up...because that would be freaking rad. Any suggestions?!? I'm up for ideas!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v671/Makkon/Lizard_lady_03.jpg

[Ferg]

Makkon: idea: lighter skin with badass tattoos/tribal paint!

[Makkon]

I was definitely thinking about that. Maybe like white warpaint or something on the skin and armor. What color would you prefer the skin?

[East]

At ~5200 triangles right now, and 2048x2048 texture (although only 3/4 of the texture is used, saving the last 1/4 for equipment). Should look presentable as 1024x1024 as well /images/graemlins/smile.gif Still far from being complete, though. Still trying to figure out the colour scheme.

I'm experiencing some problems with the rigging/skinning, though. Things don't deform as they should, so I might have to go back and tweak the mesh somewhat.. Will see what that does to the UVs.

I really like it Eric, but I think that the cloudyness has made it lose a bit of depth, minor gripe though. Fantastic work.

[almighty_gir]

Hey East, that looks cool man. almost reminds me of the KOTOR Mandalorians.

Makkon, i'd give her a light coloured tummy, with like, dark speckles which get more dense toward her sides, then into her black scales.
i'd use white tattoos for her body and black for her armour =]

Never posted a WIP on this thread before. Anyway, it's a sci-fi door. It's on hold for the second (all my art is) but I'll get back to it soon I hope. It's just a low poly with normal map (around 600 tris I think)

http://www.3dpowers.net/crap/door_lp.jpg

[vahl]

HEx : try to add variations to your lighting, you have brown textures and yellow lights so you end up with a very boring anynextgenscifigame look in there, you have those orange and blue ligts on teh textures, please use them to lit your scene

also try to use complementarity in lighting to balance the very monochromatic look of your texture.

other than that it reminds me of pariah/warpath in style

[HEx]

@ vahl:
Hehe, that's a question of taste. My style is monocromic, dark and bulky. I allways end up (when i do scifi stuff) getting the feeling of "spaceHulk" which i grew up with ^^ retro space games are allways the best :P

Though i get what you are saying, i just like it a bit depressing.

@ Flewda:
Sweet door, looks awsome, texture it!

[EarthQuake]

Hex, i think you should add more normals maps, its not going to look realistic until you add that, and definitely more specular maps too.

[Makkon]

eq: :P

East: I love the subtle asymmetry in the details and shape, and the colors you choose are great. Can we see some wires?

almighty_gir: Good idea as well, I think that's what I'll go with. Do you think the armor needs a different shape? I think it needs spikes.

[HEx]

@ EarthQuake

ok, youre not just being retarded right now, but plainly mean, i have allready apologized to you. And you will just keep on bitching about it, wont you!?

[thefatladysings]

@Flew, looking sweet, now go texture it /images/graemlins/wink.gif

[Johny]

hex its more the fact that you act like you know it all and give crap excuses to why stuff looks bad.

[HEx]

really? i didnt realize it /images/graemlins/frown.gif
sorry for that, truely i am.
Thanks for telling me, im a bit slow in social (about as good as a teaspoon) I'll try not to appear as "know it all" in the future.
And im defenetly not saying im the best, or even good. Im still lowlife in the world of graphics, i know this.

personally, judging by the character so far, and where i imagine her origins to lie, i would have stuck with leather greaves, armguards etc. and maybe like, some kind of exotic "big cat" furs for her shoulders, maybe a small cloak kinda thing...

[Makkon]

I'll probably go with that, this character really doesn't have much of a theme anyway, I suppose the diffuse on the armor will really tie things together.

I have a question for myself: Why does this lizard have boobs? Can lizards lactate?
and my answer: Shutup, of course lizards can lactate. How else do they feed their young?

......um
Did a test on the diffuse, added some more texture.

Makkon: Render out some ambient occlusion, and take your normals map into crazy bump, and do the cavity map thing. Those will help a lot, right now it feels really fla, you have loads of good detail but none of it sticks out at all. Also LOL SCALIES.

nice boobies rens!

I think it's a windmill.

Fun fact: I actually went to the Netherlands and took a bunch of reference photos of one (I went primarily for vacation). When I came back I realized I didn't take enough photos and promptly punched myself in the balls.

I'm still sore.

I love the form, but I think you could tweak the mesh flow especially on the blades...

rock'n though!

[coldwolf]

Thanks Eric! The bad flow on the blades are for the sails/cloth I'm painting now. I just put verts where I wanted it to deform. Is it better to have good flow than to pinch polies like I did in that snapshot?

[PolyHertz]

ironbearxl: You might want to think about reworking some of those forms. He doesn't seem to have any ribs or belly button, the Sterno mastoid and trapezius muscles appear to be the only ones for his neck area, the veins are symetrized, and the pecs seem to be comming from under the shoulder (deltoid) muscles instead of branching off of them. Also, those cracks or veins or...whatever they are branching into his pecs really need to go.

[ironbearxl]

Thanks PolyHertz! i'll fix those areas.
