Thanks Sean. =D

KP, that is a friggin awsome idea, the "cigarette after" (joint ?) lol. The double useability, women also have their needs. I wouldn't want to buy a sextoy that smokes everything I have and goes bad after a while but hey, you can probably grow them yourself in your little laboratory in the future.

EQ, that face is coming along really well. I´m digging it, looking forward to that killer gun to.

[LordScottish]

Haha EQ, pretty funny model /images/graemlins/laugh.gif great stuff. The texture is well painted, but I would tone down the grain a bit. Looks like you used the sharpen filter a bit too much imho. But that's just small nagging

the idea was combining one of those fly zappers with a venus fly trap.
the bulb at the top would be bioluminescent with either a short electrical zap or a chemical agent it releases when a bug lands on it, and the bug would drop into the 'mouth' below where digestive juices would consume it

http://www.ivassago.net/misc/bug2_t.jpg (http://www.ivassago.net/misc/bug2.jpg)


I trashed the weapons, and just gave it some mechanoid arms instead. That way, it can grip onto landing pads/etc etc.
This is about 85% done, mesh wise. The bugger on top still needs a lot of work, and the rest of it needs further refinment still.

[Sectaurs]

It still needs a lot of love. Once I'm happy with it, I'll model it.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v192/Sectaurs/Pimpage/upsidown_04.jpg

[aesir]

crazy weird sec. My suggestion would be to ditch the hair, or spread it through the body. As it is it looks out of place. Secondly, the eyes are cartoony. Its ok to have huge eyes, but grab some ref on creatures with huge eyes. Gotta work it off from nature in one way or another. Next, The head shape seems a bit too reminicent of a human. Fuck with the shape, jaw line especially some more imho. Lastly, the mouth. I think you can make it even crazier. Longer, bigger, whatever. You've pushed it a lot already, but push it some more /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[MoP]

Bit more work on him...

http://www.spearmint.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/scwip2.jpg

I guess he's some sort of alien/mutant prospector or miner. In his right hand he has a scanner for detecting whatever it is he mines, on his left wrist and arm is some sort of laser for boring holes and cutting away segments, and on his back is a sonic drill for reaching large, valuable deposits.
The box slung around his right hip is for collecting samples and minerals.

No, I have no idea why he has blades around his neck. For keeping away flies, maybe?

The weird lighting was caused by me editing the mesh to make it more animation-friendly, the nmap is not fitting anymore haha. I don't remember having edited the head tho. Tried to hide the mistakes as much as I could no these screens /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Model's proportions are rather different from the default ones hence the wonky look... I don't think I'll take that any further (I don't even have smooth weights on him atm) but its cool to have a look at the pipeline for future projects.

Due to popular demand:
http://mitglied.lycos.de/KDR_11k/pics/pimp/whointhewhatnow.jpg

[LordScottish]

Looks great killingpeople! /images/graemlins/smile.gif What is this floating geometry technique?
The only thing that bothers me are the scratches. I can't put my finger on it, since it seems logical they have specular hl to them.

[KDR_11k]

Floating geometry means not including all details on the hipoly mesh but to have things like small holes, etc float above the surface. Since the normalmap only stores the angle of the surface that works. Personally I prefer modeling out a separate "bump map" (though I render it as normals, not height) because then it's easier to have the normals of the detail flow into the normals of the surface.

[Joshua Stubbles]

Bingo.
There's a Quake4 art artile on it as well, Lord. Though for a character or object mesh, you obviously wouldn't want to float the meshes THIS far apart:

http://www.iddevnet.com/quake4/ArtReference_CreatingTextures

Actually, they show a character here as well:
http://www.iddevnet.com/quake4/ArtReference_CreatingModels

Kill i would go with some softer edges there, it almost looks like you're doing that "seperate by smoothing groups" thing in max, instead of adding extra edges to get nice, soft, flowing edges into your model. This will give you nice spec highlights.

[Joshua Stubbles]

I don't think he's seperating by smoothing groups. I think he's doing the same thing I was, which was simply NOT adding those extra extrusions to the edges (for the soft edges).

[MoP]

Cool stuff, Pior! He looks good there /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Killingpeople: LordScottish was right about the scratches, but the thing that looks odd about them is that they're actually coming out of the metal, rather than indented - see how the light is highlighting the upper part rather than the lower part? Maybe you had your normal-map converter (I assume you're using the Photoshop nVidia filter) set to using the Y-axis inverted? Try flipping the Green channel on those scratches if you still have them on a separate layer, it should make more sense then.

[killingpeople]

smooth groups:
i used nurms smoothing and smoothing groups. i wanted to get to the texture part! /images/graemlins/tongue.gif mmodeling those edges will get better results but takes more time. in all seriousness, what if i were to use smoothing groups, and duplicated the normal map, blurred it and erased areas revealing the sharper areas would be a more time efficiant approach? i'll have to play with it, i had actually sharpened the normal map to make the edges sharper and see the effects.

scratches:
the problem lies within the spec map. it's a shame because i thought they looked really great in areas in earlier versions of the specmap.
the scratch layer in the spec map looked like beveled marks (joined white and black line) which is something i shouldn't use for them, but was in a "what if" state of mind during the entire process. i had eventually altered the original scratch layer so much without planning ahead, i couldn't go back without a lot of work, so i had left it how it was because it didn't really matter, it was just to help me better wrap my head around the map types. i am however very happy it was mentioned, i think it proves the attention and quality in comments polycounters have to offer to one another.

Vassago:
nice links! omg, boners. right on dude, thanks so much for posting those!

[MoP]

KP: Oddly enough, I actually find that bevelling edges before meshsmoothing, is actually faster (and definitely less brain-intensive /images/graemlins/tongue.gif ) than using smoothing groups - you have to select the polys, apply a group which the other polys don't have, smooth and render it out, then go in and blur/erase what you don't want smoothed.
I think it's a good workflow technique to just get used to bevelling/chamfering edges, it creates a more natural look at the end, I feel. Also, I tend to work with my control mesh with no smoothing groups at all, so it's faceted all the time, and only recieves smoothing when I slap a Turbosmooth modifier on.

Just my 2 pesetas /images/graemlins/smile.gif

trying for a brushed metal look by breaking a normal map.

[EarthQuake]

Kill: there should be a really quick way in max to add extra edge loops to get the extra edges, i know there is in lightwave. I think thast really something you would do in the spec map, and not normals. I also use extra border polys to make it look like a seemless transition too, you can see here unsmoothed: http://www.planetquake.com/polycount/cottages/crash/earthquake/gl128_07.jpg

The blur thing would probably work, i dont know you would have to test it.

EQ, the spec map doesn't bend light really at all, the surface is pretty stagnant when it comes to light. i tried. oh and i tried blurring the sharp edges on a normal map, and it doesn't work very well.

i got a lot better results with this normal map. try taking the normal map in this image into max or whatever if you're curious how it looks in the viewport. if you follow the pattern on the normal map, you maybe be able to imagine how the shines spin, it's pretty close, i was pretty impressed with it. it looks good from certain angles, but it would neat to make sense of it and make it work from every angle.

[cholden]

http://chrisholden.net/tnaimpactch.jpg

[LordScottish]

That's an interesting idea killingpeople, the result looks a lot better than the specular map only. Maybe a combination of the 2 would look even better to tone down the contrast on the darker side of the cylinder.

[killingpeople]

i tried a combination of the two and it didn't look too good. you can try it if you want, both maps are there.

[EarthQuake]

[Illusions]

This is old but, this is more of something for KP to see if he can use it for his brushed metal look:

Here's an animated gif of two omni lights rotating around the material:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v38/Illusions/radialani_v1.gif

and heres the normal map:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v38/Illusions/radial.gif

It may work for what you are trying to do in the second pic, it needs a lot of corrective work as it was just something I was testing in theory at the time and haven't gotten back to working on. Basically it assumes the normals of a surface like the one you are working with are shaped like such:

/\/\ but made into concentric rings...if that makes any sense >_<

friend of mine directs music videos for a living.. a few have been on mtv.. he has directed videos for mars volta and bunch of bands on the label sub pop.. he wanted to direct an animated short and i am doing all the animation.. it will be composited onto a live action background.. we are still tossing around story ideas but my favorite is this little guy is the mascott for a tobacco company and he dosent know it.. one day he is walking past the company and is confronted with an angry mob of parent protesters.. still very early in development..

here is the rabbit character..(still a wip)

walkcyckle kinda defies gravity though, looks like he is about to fall backwards but some invisible force is keeping him upright (tobaco maybe /images/graemlins/smile.gif) could be the angle though.

[Prs-Phil]

hey, cool bugger, I agree on the walkcycle, he does seem like he is going to tip backward.

Aren't you going to have any © problems with that char ?

[arshlevon]

new walk cycle is rendering.. the main problem is the posture.. he has this crotch way forward thing going on that i need to keep in the walk to convey the character.. any tips from the animation pros? this is like the first 3d thing i have animated.. e_x where you is .. i need some tips on how you got all that goodness into that awesome short you made about ninjas and forks...

[Toomas]

Look at Day of the Tentacles nerd guy, he walks like that i think, granted hes a sprite but still you might get some ideas.
Or if you have a camera you could put it to film and walk back and forward in front of it while mimicing the walking style you want for the cool little bunny.

:edit: also maybe Chaplin had similar style, cant be arsed to remember right now tho

[hawken]

how did you do the eye? are you using some sort of warping modifier to squish that from a sphere so that it can be rotated about?

[arshlevon]

its an ffd spacewarp.. not modifier.. i set up the eye to a look at constraint.. then made a sphere to incase it and use the hemisphere option to animate the eyelid.. then i created a FFD spacewarp positioned it over the 2 spheres then selected them and binded them to the space warp.. then you can move the FFD control points around to deform the shape and all the controls still work while it is that shape.. another cool thing... you can even put a morpher on the FFD spacewarp and morph between several different FFD shapes.. how cool is that!!

[James Edwards]

Animations are looking good. My suggestions would be to add more overlap to things. Everything starts and stops at the same time, drag some keys around for the head and ears.

Balance looks a little off maybe, but it's a funny angle, so I can't really tell. He seems to be heavy on his left side on the walk. Maybe lean him forward on both animation some more.

Turn on trajectories and look at your curves for everything, especially arms and feet.

yep graves pretty nice, however your highlights especially on the cloth are getting really desaturated, doesn't look quite right... looks like paint has just worn off on the highlights, rather than actual wrinkles in the cloth... some saturation in the highlights would help that, I think.

In the frontshot the hip/crotch area looks a bit too high though, especially considering the pants she is wareing.

Been working on this the past 2 days. Gun is just a placeholder and the shield still needs some work.

Woah, Mit Gas, that mod is looking VERY professional! I've already seen your terrific characters, but the entire presentation is really great. Sounds, voice acting, special effects! Keep it up and I might have to reinstall DoW! /images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Took Sectaurs's advice and made him a half mechanical Tap Dancer. I'm very tempted to do a demented version of Shirley Temple at this point.

[shotgun]

makkonzzzzzz

looking ace!
i love those legs,
and his face,
and the construction of the waist.

not sure about the curvature of the arms,
maybe it's a bit too stylized?
when u close in your arm, it should fold directly towards the shoulder, in 90 degrees,
just like a simple hinge mechanism.. which is the elbow. his arm, if folded, would end up at his booby /images/graemlins/blush.gif

keep it up~~

[perna]

crash, that rox a heap of cox
shotgun: after he afflicted a top hat, the surgeon recommended elbow rearchitecturing. PLZ, next time check up on the facts.
