been texturing in zbrush again using the colorize function.
Its a good base for a bake then I will later add photo overlays in pshop.Actually I am getting the hang of hand painting in zbrush, it pretty cool . I only use the standard and smooth brushes. I gave up on zapplink, too much of a hassle
Sean McBride - thats a good start man
Helixx - thats just creepy, but well done

great work man /images/graemlins/smile.gif I like the face a lot
is the little finger a bit too short or is it just bent away from the camera

Ruz

02-08-2008, 03:06 PM

cheers roster, yeah the little finger is bent away from camera. still go to fix the pose of the hand.
TBH I don't know why I have spent so much time on this. could have made ten proper characters in the same time:)

Ruz that's some great sculpting, love all the subtleties in the face and upper body, especially the arms.

Xenobond, love the ninja, it's perfect /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Just mucking about in Silo and an anime head popped out. No plans to finish it, maybe I'll get some texture practice in.

not so much lol. But I was just playin. its actually a pretty sweet model, but if you want his face to look abit younger you can smooth out the indents you have near the cheekbone area and possibly redesign the facial hair to not look so natural.

too many cool things in this thread, missed out on a whole lot of awesome stuff since last week

some favourites -
whiteblaizer - really cool scene, great materials
bones - wow! superb character!
ruz - great basemesh
b1lllll - that's a super cool design, more face!

thanks for the hello's and feedback
doc_rob - cheers for the crit! i'm going to scrape off all of the nozzle interfaces from his front and make them less symmetrical. He'll also have a couple of hanging airpipes that plug in to a little sidekick carbon scrubbing robot.

redid his hands from scratch, bit flat across the knuckles and wrinkles are kind of inconsistent and messing up the form in places and diffuse is wipwip but the main shapes are about there..

kite, as the others say, really good work on the hand. Looks like it belongs to a really meaty guy. Great sense of volume.

Kite: The hands are looking great, have to agree with you about some of the wrinkles, mostly the ones on the last three nuckles.
East: Awesome work on the jacket. Can't wait to see the rest of the character done up in zbrush.

Davison, how long did this take? I'm wanting to do a handful of UE3 maps for my portfolio when I've got time (Read; uni over) but I'm unsure how many to realistically aim for.

And, did you make all the assets? Sorry if this comes off as rude, I'm just unfamiliar with all of the UTIII pieces that come with it is all and again it'd help in scoping time.

It looks really good though (havent had chance to play it yet), and is that narrow beam to walk on? To get the helmet?

Update on the lich hood... I'm currently rethinking the body that I made simply for the fact that I'm not in love with it. Since the hood is such a bizzare shape I almost feel like the body doesn't do it justice. Gonna play with it some more and see what comes out of it. The hood is pretty much done so far as sculpting goes. Would really like some feedback.

Hey East would you mind going over your painting workflow for that leather? I guess you are painting diffuse and specular at the same time... sounds interesting. I assume you can later export that using zmapper?

Hard to tell, a few days of work. Its all epic content, if i had made all the content i put into this map i think it had taken a few months /images/graemlins/smile.gif.
The UE3 Tutos that come with the Special Edition helped me a lot to get into the editor, if you dont have it here is a very good page with links to a lot of tutos: http://www.icecreamyou.com/ut3.html#10
Anyway the UE3 Editor is a very good and fast tool and easy to learn.

You can also jump to the helmet but this damn bots cant, they jump 4 times off target before they get it, so i made this narrow beam for them. /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I'm only painting the diffuse on the actual polygons, the material I'm using is a modified bronze one that darkens all the cavities, so there's no light being picked up there. It's very limiting so I don't have any -real- control over the specularity.

What I'll do then is bake the diffuse into the low poly texture, and also bake out a cavity map which I'll adjust the specularity with, but I'm going to have to do work by hand to get it right.

I'm new to this whole workflow myself, and find things out as I go along. Not sure how much sense I'm making /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Ruz

02-10-2008, 05:06 PM

kite - that hand texture is looking great so far. Is that a zbrush polypaint?
East - looking coool, I am trying the same workflow myself. the only thing buggin me is that you can make stuff look great in zbrush, but its hard to make it look as good in max because the diffuse tends to look a bit 'weedy'
suppose with cavity overlay and a bit more hand painting that will be ok though.
I wish you could bake the shader in to the diffuse texture in zbrush though.

Thats great man, cheers. Apologies for missing the second I in your name too!
Yeah I bought UE3 (twice, thanks play.com :/ ) pretty much just for the engine videos that came with it, which have been pretty interesting and a constant source of entertainment for the woman.

I do seem to get a few probs with it though, like sometimes it just will not do what I want even though I'm doing the same flow as I ever do but a system restart changes it. Weird.

Anyway thanks again

Slipstream

02-10-2008, 10:40 PM

Chai, that is a kickass gun. The wear and tear on it is really well done almost across the board. The only place that jumps out for me is the clip, whose scratches look really uniform.
If they were higher up near its top, where a soldier might be hastily jamming it in without looking (or absent . . . since you have to replace clips anyway, and thus they might not be the same age as the gun?), you'd sell it more IMO

awesome jacket East, and great costume design too, has a nice old school star wars han solo feel
