So what are you working on?

[Makkon]

Hmmm, probably a good idea, LAGtheNoggin. My ref was actually based off of an older concept I did a few months ago. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v671/Makkon/fuzz.jpg THe brow looks fine in the concept, but I guess it doesn't trasnlate well into 3d.

I've been modeling out the skull of the guy so that I could try to give him better facial anatomy. I thought it looked pretty cool. If I can get his skull to look proper, then I can give him a proper face too. I can change the brow in the skull tomorrow after school, so it looks more like the pictures you posted.

Paintovers anyone?!?
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v671/Makkon/foxboyskull01.jpg

[EDIT]
I got a bit of time before I have to go to bed. I tweaked the brow a bit to have a smoother transition. Perhaps that'll fix his demented face.

i wonna finish it this time , NO SCHOOL /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[Weiser_Cain]

I like the original brow. Both are probably fine.

[LAGtheNoggin]

Nice concept! Well, if the brow works in concept it will work in 3D, it's simply a matter of interpretation.

Hmmm. That's an improvement towards a more animal-like skull, maybe try pulling that centre line a little outwards for some rounder forehead, but I don't think it's the skull alone that's giving you the human feel there. The problem lies in the muscle and expression: in concept you have your character squinting hard, it's the muscles making the bulge; whereas in 3D it looks like he's at rest, suggesting narrow deep-set human-like eyes are his natural shape. Get some eye lids in there and make em squint.

Here's a pair of eyes I'm thinking of. Clicky. (http://bitmap.attakus.fr/blacksad/images/blacksadwall.jpg) Note how much eye lid there would be if he was squinting.

And a red line (http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y87/LAGtheNoggin/MakkonRedLine.jpg), I'm not very good at these, sorry, I made him angry...

Good luck!

[Makkon]

Completely rebuilt his face, based off of the skull. What a test of patience... I think I got a look I can live with; screw the concept, he looks better this way. He looks a bit bug eyed, but I was referencing from a cat (he's sort of based off of a cat and fox). He looks much younger, much more cartoonish, which is what I wanted. I can make him squint in facial animation, but for now I think I'll leave it in this nutral state.
Thanks again, Noggin, for your help /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

LAG: Vikings loved pastel colors. Everyone knew that!

Tulkamir: Heh, yeah I know. Viking is also a verb, not a noun, but this is a charicature of the usual stereotype... so horns and name are there are /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Renaud : very nice start, mind if i ask how you manage to get that level of "sharpness" in your details ( base of horns , top of the head): are you working with a huge subdivision detail and working with small brushes, or ...?

[killingpeople]

awesome! that's from an old concept i did, of sorts. aww, i liked the bigger fish bowl helmet! /images/graemlins/tongue.gif
Sectaurs:
your viking rules.
Makkon:

[rooster]

haha sorry man they decided they couldnt do the shield effect for some reason on the fishbowl so they wanted a small head-helmet. If you look at the original design though, you might see that I re-jigged the fishbowl helm into that smaller version /images/graemlins/smile.gif.

[Johny]

a model i did while i was steaming on texturing another model ahaah...its from samurai champloo.
I might texture in the middle of other texturing...will fix hands later while unwraping.( they are rigged )

I'm currently cleaning up the mesh on this guy.
Hope to bring him into Zbrush soon.
He's still a WIP so I wouldn't mind some critics...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v69/loneraver/Blde.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v69/loneraver/cyborg1.jpg

[EarthQuake]

Why would you want to zbrush that? The mesh isnt even close to being set up properly for zbrushing.

[aesir]

yes. not even getting into the fact that your mesh would subdivide poorly in zbrush (you want all quads), theres no way even a pro could get something all full of metal and smooth surfaces like that to look good in zbrush. Zbrush is BAD at metallic smooth surfaces. Its near impossible to do it unless you have the patience of buddha.. It would be much faster to model high poly in max or maya or whatever.

[Chunkey]

Bitmap: that is the EXACT look I want but flabbier!! totally forgot about that geezer, I did consider using the fat guy from 24 (the can't remember his name, was buddies with Cloe) but his facial structure around the mouth and cheeks wasn't quite what I was looking for.

Does anybody know the name of this actor?

I see what you mean. I’ve played with Zbrush on it's own but I haven't imported anything in from Max yet, that's why I wanted to experiment with this guy. I thought i would be able to use the masking tools to create plate separation outlines for the armor (using the draw tool as a mask to create the outlines, inverting the lines and using the Deformation/inflate tools). All with the idea of creating a normals map for the ingame model.

Hey Makk, looks pretty sweet. Yeah I'd try to re-render out your normals with hard smoothing groups on the low poly, especially around the 90 degree bends... unless that's what you did to begin with. Might see you on the sumea comp /images/graemlins/smile.gif

http://riviera.heaven.nexusirc.at/warby/wip/tripod_prealpha.jpg

spend about 3 hours with it

no uv map no texturen o normal map no joining of instances no smoothing yet

will spend another 3 hours with it in maya than do the detailing in z brush ( its like my TEST subject to learn z brush )

Hey EQ and Shape, yeah I fudged up some of the smoothing on the low poly :/

Hopefully you can tell who it is now. I will zbrush this sucker tomorrow

[edit] made the head less wide

Vin Diesel?

Gary Lineker?

yeah, vin diesel. took some pinning down. suppose the small eyes, the flat nose and the big bottom lip are the main points I was going for. still needs a lot more work though

actually MOP, lineker has that same nose as diesel:)

Yeah, I figured his ears weren't big enough if it were actually Lineker /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[MoP]

LoTekK: Some sort of hicksville Solid Snake? /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Peris: That's looking very good, I like the style. I would say you can optimise that more though, if you're going for a low-poly model. The forehead and eyes esecially could lose lots of polys without changing shape or losing detail.
However if it's going to be something higher-poly, you might wanna clean it up some more so you have mainly quads to work with - right now it's a fairly random mix of quads and triangles.

Keep it up! /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[LoTekK]

Lol MoP. I should give him a trucker hat. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif Gave him a beard instead. Still undecided on whether to keep it, though. Started texturing the grenade and pooky.

Nice! Awesome work, Johny. I hope you'll start painting these Champloo guys sometime soon. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[steady]

hey johny, i really like your work, keep it up! /images/graemlins/smile.gif
thought id point out this link, it has some screenshots you might want to look at and compare: http://www.worthplaying.com/article.php?sid=34213

[arshlevon]

awesome!! i have always wanted to do a highpoly mugen, such an awesome character, samurai/pirate that pretty much owns all character design.

[rawkstar]

yeah its about time somebody modeled him.

[hawken]

nice work Johny, big fan of samurai champloo myself.

you might want to make him a lot thinner though. Mugen is an imaciated skinny bastard, your model is about twice as thick, with massive feet.

[motives]

lol.. trio from avatarville is all posting in the wip thread.

very cute



also notorious: you might wanna make the poles that holds up the boardwalk a bit bigger/heavier.. they look really thin now

[Johny]

ehehe thanks for the crits, the reason why i made mugen a tad fatter is because i wanted to "humanize" him a bit, hes almost as skinny as jin thou . will fix all when texturing /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[jec1183]

I believe Poops trick is to load the high poly model in layers and in pieces. That way he can go into the layer menu in max and hide pieces while he works on the low res model. Say you finish modeling the chest of the low poly. Then you hide the chest high poly layer and unhide an arm and just keep modeling the low poly. In theory it should free up video ram that the program no longer needs to read a full high poly character.

I use my tongue to...

Really though, from another thread:
Make a new layer, set it to the default layer, HIDE that layer, then import the zbrush object. It will import to the hidden layer, and it won't try to view it, BUT it will be selected! So you can convert to edit poly, add all faces to one smoothing group (use a smooth modifier) and then collapse, right click on properties and "display as a box". I've brought in an 8 million poly model that way before as a single obj. Mind you I have a decent laptop machine, but still, should work on most pc's.

[Ferg]

katz that thing looks great

I have one crit though

the fat folds of the belly dont look "natural". I know he's a mutant fatfuck, but I think a more gravity-driven fatty sag sack of a belly would work better. Nonetheless it's coming along very well.

[Johny]

heres something iv been spaming on other forums, i will work it out more, the base was made very quick, bla bla bla, i will fix later lots of stuff too.

[Thegodzero]

he looks, well white...

[aesir]

he looks like he does in the anime.

(gold part of hilt on the swords might be a tad too shiny bright)

[Sectaurs]

Reminds me of Jean Reno for some reason.

He looks a bit pidgeon-toed, and the black markings on the edge of the sword look a bit odd, but other than that it looks really good.

[Ramucho]

excellent job johnny, but the skin tone is a little bit too pink for a japanese samurai /images/graemlins/smile.gif, and the cuts in his hat are a somehow weird (those in front of his eyes), I suggest you drop them.
Waiting for the rest fo samurai champloo crew! /images/graemlins/smile.gif

mop: looks sweet almost like a demon frog.. i guess its the green cause i didnt really feel the frogness on the original bobo one

[Daz]

Slow progress from tonights sculpture class. Probably isn't apparent yet but the subject is a 60 year old woman. Here's (http://www.daz-art.com/sculpt1.jpg) last week! I wanna keep the thing fairly loose If can:

http://www.daz-art.com/sculpt2.jpg

I'll try and remember to take a shot each week (12 week course).

[shotgun]

i'd do her.

[arshlevon]

looks cool daz. is it from life? or reference? one thing that seems to stick out at this gestural phase is the current size of her ears. your ears and nose keep growing throughout your life(and even a bit after death!!), so most old people have pretty big ears and noses. seems like you got a pretty big honker on there, might want to dumbo her up a bit.
man thats going to be fun when you start all the wrinkley bits.awesome stuff, makes me miss the tangable touchable art.

[Daz]

It's from life. She does have a big nose yeah. I want to exaggerate things at this stage so as I shave away at it for a closer likeness I've got enough clay there. For an old biddy she does have remarkably tiny ears, but I'm really only going to be hinting at them anyway, since her imminent hairdo almost completely covers them up.
Yeah I am having an absolute blast with it.

[ironbearxl]

Wow Daz, for a sec I thought there was a person under there! If you define the eye area, round up the eyeballs it'll really come to life.

[KDR_11k]

bitmap: What's the difference between the versions that makes you think of the XBox version?

[MAUL0r]

good work daz, are you planning on sculpting the hair? I always like to see the different solutions people come up with for hair on busts, it really is the part that shows the sculpter's style.

[Johny]

awesome daz /images/graemlins/smile.gif it makes me go to a sculpting class too ahahah ! will you use wire to make hair strands ? i know a friend who did hair in that way and it turned quite cool since he then painted the wire and it really seemed like hair!

[ScoobyDoofus]

Looking Neat Daz, but Im wondering how your going to work around that stick coming out of her head? Does the hairdo cover that? Are you going to saw it off? Its part of your armature, no doubt, but...just wondering what your plans are there.

[Squirrely Jones]

What kind of clay are you using?

[Daz]

I wish everyone would stop asking me bloody questions! As said in my last post (why is it folks dont actually read what people say anymore? Thats kinda beginning to irk me around here), yeah Im gonna make hair. Beyond that, I dunno! I havent done this shit since school, and that was eons ago. Im at a class, and hence, Im learning. Im the student, not the tutor. I dont have all the answers. YET! /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[MoP]

Nice work Daz. What sort of hands are you using? White British male? I use those too, they work pretty well.

[arshlevon]

Daz i was wandering what brand of sgrafitto you uare using, and if you used it to make the hole where the eye goes? also why are you using clay? what color is her hair going to be? is she a white lady? where would i go about finding an old white lady to sculpt? how man minutes did it take you to do the eyelid? how do you get the unfinished clay look? what city were you born in? and most importantly what kind of pants where you wearing when you did this?

[b1ll]

i bet he was wearing one of thoses hairnet when he was making this. OH YA i can see it.

50/50 on this one. Great model and great texture. Bad feet (pigeon toe'd?) and american white male living in feudal japan? also the pattern on the swords blade needs to be toned down a little, it's not ridged but a design caused by the heating and cooling of metal

[Johny]

hey hawken thanks for the critics /images/graemlins/smile.gif theres a reason why i went for a non japanese samurai ( seem awkward doesnt it ? ) in this textured characters the only one i intend to make truly japanese like is JIn, mugen will be brazilian like because of his fighting style and manners . Kariya is more "america" like since he states in a sentence "im a man who was born in the wrong country in the wrong time" .

enough chit chat back to texturing, and i will fix all that people have been telling me ! /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[oXYnary]

Using splines to make edge looped/dense enough facial mesh for zbrush. (Thanks arsh for letting me see your model to see how the edge loops go). Subd/box modeling just isnt my thing for this. This way I can tweak with edit poly, and have the benefit of making a more or less dense mesh that conforms more to my specs via bezier curves.
