Cholden: You rock! and you know it!

I was inspired by Almighty_gir's dragon so I tried a little lizard thingy myself. Took about 4 hours up to this point.

"What Will He Do Next?!"

[Sectaurs]

Damn Makkon, I'm really digging your work lately.

I think you should make the bottom pair of eyes more to the side like an herbivore's, and the top pair more facing front like a carnivore's. Sort of give him an evolutionary reason for having two sets.

[Toomas]

EQ try to use less polygons, right now the face looks edgy and unorganic and thats all because you have too many polys that you cant control properly.
Less is more!

[CheapAlert]

makkon did this (http://www.planetgargoyle.com/openarena/chaingun.jpg) so i stole it and cut it up a bit. I cut about 684 whole triangles off of it.

[LordScottish]

It's nice to see another non-gargoyle model from you cheap, looks cool. Are you going to skin it?

Whee, I managed to do a better render. Hopefully after the 9th of december I'm going to have more time to finish this one up, including a special driver. /images/graemlins/blush.gif

yeah, that face doesn't really scream Bruce campbell to me either. Since it's a caricature, his more prominent features should be exagerated, so you should be making his brow heavier, and his nose more hook like, and of course, his chin like a new limb, haha.

Here's a caricature of him to help you out

For those that don't know his work, here is a sketch by Nick Bradshaw...the concept that i'm following (more can be seen at his site): http://www.nickbradshaw.com/galleries/evildead/evildead2.jpg

[LordScottish]

It's hard to tell what's different Gavimage. I think changing the nose may help. Also the deep wrinkles around his mouth make him somehow non-handsome. But it looks awesome nontheless

[BluziMoz]

Remake of the gunboat from Red Alert, for a mod I'm working on. 604 triangles and a single 256x256 diffuse map. The blue parts are the housecolor and change in-game depending on the player colour. The render was taken from max viewport with no lights and material on 100 self-ilumination.

http://ra2.unleashed.ws/temporaryfolder/gunboat.jpg

For those interested, you can visit the homepage of the mod http://regen.gamemod.net/ but the older models are of lesser quality than this one.

[KDR_11k]

Considering the lack of polies on most parts the gun has quite a lot.

That's a mighty weird skull shape she has there... 3/4 view is good but from the front it's all bulgy and odd. Also the eyes seem a bit mis-aligned. Meshflow seems pretty good though, I especially like the lips.

[EarthQuake]

yeah moppius skull shape is just rought out, will be tweaked a good deal yet

[los]

Maybe she Aztec, they would flatten and elongate the skull of the new borns, It was the cool high society thing to do

[frostymoose]

EQ those cheekbones look huuuuuge! Maybe it's just an illusion. I don't like the edgeflow. The fold from the sides of the mouth up to the nose isn't included in the topo. sorry I don't know the name... Why'd you post the exact same thing twice?

Eq, I´m wondering if you are building your set of women for everyday of the week /images/graemlins/wink.gif
She`s coming along great, but I think she looks a bit apeish with the jaw and her lower lip seems to fall a bit flat and sharp, like someone poked them with a needle and let the air out.

I wonder what "MMMMM LW" stands for "MassiveManlyMammelsMasturbatingMaturly LoveWatch" ... or something with Lightwave /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Not entirely happy with the topology but hopefully I shall be able to tidy it up soon- ears are too small at the moment, they're placeholders until I can be arsed to fix them up /images/graemlins/smile.gif Also the hair volumes will be nobbed off and replaces with planes soon- just gotta work out how I'm gonna approach making the hair (not done anything like this before)

EQ, whats the little double pyramid thing in the lower right corner of one of the newest pictures, is that a LW shot or something else? Are you using modo now? Either way, the forehead chunkiness has obviously toned down enough so that it looks good. Nice job.

You are both extremely good modelers and it's shameful to see you two in such a digracful manner. Honestly, this is not the place. take it outside.

If it's going to be warhol-eqsue, being limited on the z-axis is probably more faithful to warhol

[EarthQuake]

Bleh, looks like crap in max but cool in zbrush... Is there anyway to change perspective settings in zbrush? I think lack of perspective when modeling is throwing me off a bit.... Or maybe my lighting just sucks in max =D
http://www.planetquake.com/polycount/cottages/crash/earthquake/blah.jpg

[Entity]

I don't think you can, but I heard Mac Zbrush users can :/

[Mit Gas]

her ears look a bit long vertically , eq. And that nose looks like a plastic surgeon's flagship! I'd lower the tip a bit to make it more natural. Going for charlize theron?

[JKMakowka]

Nooo, EQ has fallen for the dark side too (that is Zbrush)...
Am I the last one holding out doing finely crafted meshes??? *sniff*

Good stuff EQ, but the eyes seem too small, the bottom of the nose is oddly shaped and the outer 'rim' of the ears is too fat (or is that the SSS?).

[EarthQuake]

it was charlize, but i've long since abandoned that ref and its turned into something else that i dont think is remotely close to her now... Somehow turned into a slightly-asian looking head(to me atleast) go figure. Time for more booze!

[MoP]

You can change Perspective settings in Zbrush, but you won't be able to see them in effect while you're modelling. To get the perspective effect you have to go out of Edit mode and into move/rotate/scale mode, then go to the Draw menu, click the "Persp" button, and perspective should be applied to the model.

Mit Gas is right, I think the ears are generally too big, and like JKMakowka says, the fold on the outer rim of the ear seems too thick.
The rest is looking good though.

[EarthQuake]

What do you guys think of the mental ray SSS images? To me it looks like crap but maybe i've just been staring at it too long or maybe it just needs some hair modeled and proper eyes textured and all that fancy stuff. Thats even with a very low FOV in max and i still think it looks like ass =((( OMG IM SO EMO, JUST LIKE PER.

Oh hey when i got out of edit mode i cant go back into it right? I need to ctrl+n and creat the object again with the proper tool?..... This seems like a massive hassle for something that should be relatively simple.

Yo Entity, looking at your XSI buttons there I think your workflow must be a bit long winded. Maybe that's how you like it but I will tell you how I do it and maybe you can get something from it.

I have all the most common modelling tasks mapped to the keyboard on the left side using shift or ctrl. So for example:
shift+e is split edge
ctrl+d is duplicate
shift+x is bevel
ctrl+f to freeze

And a super special one already in XSI that not everyone knows:
Hold down alt while using the move point tool to weld the vertex /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Once you're used to the layout pretty much anything you want to do is all right there in your left hand. It's very very fast /images/graemlins/smile.gif You can also just smack + and - on the numpad to change the subdivision level, but like I said maybe you prefer the buttons. Just thought I would mention it.

i like the high poly ! add much more details man and i mean some less subtle details, cause theres some details on ur model that will look very slight on the normal map, such as feet, legs.

[JKMakowka]

Ok the lower teeth are done too. Just need to fit them properly to the upper ones, and then think of a way to make them smooth (verb /images/graemlins/smile.gif ) in a graceful way /images/graemlins/frown.gif

Daz: Awesome model, but lips are way pink still and the scar looks like he's got a widdle dirt on his face.
That and his nose(tip & nostrils) looks yellowed, like smokers fingers.

BTW, was the SNES even 320x200?

Solar system i'm workin on all as one single emitter in UT.
Sun's just a wip at the moment; a filler for scale and whatnot. Planning on adding maybe one more planet; maybe a ring of asteroids; already know I'm gonna do a comet that'll fly through the system; maybe, just maybe, a moon or two that'll orbit a planet as it orbits the sun. BIG thanks to gauss on linking in #model_design this page (http://gallery.artofgregmartin.com/tuts_arts/making_a_planet.html) about how to quickly crank out a planet.

Wip Movie (divx codec) (http://studioflaagan.com/images/3d/particles/movies/solarsystem_wip1.avi)

[Jelmer]

Kickass model Daz, sweet texturing. The only crits I could give you is that the distance between the upper lip and bottom of the nose is very big, and that the eyes are pretty high up in his head. Then again, those things give him more character, but less realism. Don't know what your aiming for. Friggin sweet job anyway /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[vahl]

Cool stuff Flaagan but I noticed that the planets are always lit in the same direction, so at the end of your video, the little red planet looks like lit by another source and it looks the sun has no effect on it. have you tried using animated textures of mesh emitters ?
the sprites looks good though.

Sectaurs : Very nice model ^^

Vig : are you also re-doing the animated buildings or are you (the mod team) only re-texturing them ?

[flaagan]

- Overall scale of the solar system has been brought down at least 50%.
- A screw up while shrinking the sun resulted in my figuring out a nice way to create the asteroid belt.
- Sorting issues between the different particles in the emitter forced me to move the whole system above the player so that only rarely will they overlay and cause noticeable sorting issues.
- Movie type swapped to quicktime. I'm gonna do this shortly for all my particle effects vids; the file size comparison is nice, if not better, and more importantly you can still see details that the divx codec I was using were killing horribly.
- Comet still to come, and maybe, just maybe, a moon or two (gotta mess about with particles moving in relation to other particles).

flaagan, thats really cool.

Up here in Maine, we have a 1:93,000,000 scale model of the solar system, at forty miles from Pluto to Sun, its the largest complete three-dimensional scale model of the Solar System in the World. Kind of bizarre.

two more vids...
added a comet to the solar system:

and.. figured out the sorting issues (sorta, i think)... i'll have to split up the whole solar system into individual emitter actors... which i don't mind, just means a little more work to get it workin... and here's a test I did to check out whether that would fix the sorting:

[arshlevon]

looks cool DAZ, but i think i could a better grip on the surface if the lights were not rotating with the model.

[Daz]

Damnit Arsh you are right as usual. I cheated you see, in mental ray I turned off 'final gather rebuild' so If lights don't move then it only calculates fg for the first frame. A proper render with lights moving means fg calculated for every frame. I have this really dumb issue in that I can't render overnight 'cos my pc is too loud and in the same room that I sleep in ahah! Could get some ear-plugs but better still I hope Santa brings me that renderfarm! /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Looking good Omar. One thing I noticed about your metals is they look plasticky. I don't know how far along you are with your materials, but try making the spec falloff on your metals much more abrupt, as opposed to the soft blinn type falloff. Thet can help a lot to get over the plastic look.

[Omar_Nabiev]

Very helpful tip Daz, thank you. I'll try that on my next renders, and maybe will fix current renders.

1st time I've posted anything here as I'm more of a level designer but as I've been moving more towards modeling levels this place seems like a natural move to be lurking on. Anyway, been working on getting this guy into Doom 3 for going on 3 years now (since the days of the leaked alpha). Custom textures are modeled and 'renderbumped', pertty much all the assets are comparable to vD3 at 256 with very few textures above 512. 'Bob' uses 512 body, 256 head and misc 256x'X' for his weapons (shown ingame on 'low' settings - my PC won't go 'Ultra'!).
