Er - WHY did you hand paint the entire thing? It looks like you're trying for something realistic, yet it looks cartoony. If its meant to be of a cartoon look it doesn't look the part at all. It's in a weird middle ground that isn't very happy /images/graemlins/frown.gif

How long did this take you? If you're going for something more realistic looking I suggest you save yourself a lot of time and source your base materials (to start) then go from there.

[/ QUOTE ]

I actually wanted it to be somewhere between realistic and cartoony and dark at the same time. Im just playing around a bit with style and hand painting everything just for practice. This door isnt for a bigger project or anything. Its just for fun and practice.

warby: Her head is throwing me off from the rest of the character. She looks like a soccermom wrapped up in ninja gear. IMO it'd be more fitting for the character if she were Asian looking; dark dark hair and deeper complexion.

[/ QUOTE ]

Why do ninjas -have- to be asian? Especially future ninjas... Let's be progressive.

On another note: She looks fantastic. Are you going to keep it fairly clean texture wise (ala Team Ninja)? It'd be cool to see this textured all battle torn.

Arsh: Nice buddha! I really like that the cloth is relief and not fully modelled out. Makes it look like a real statue.

[/ QUOTE ]

I used it as an example - my point was that every time I look at this (great) model, all I can see is typical soccer mom wrapped in ninja gear. That's all. Progressive is fine so long as it works.

I really like this model - here's hoping for a detail pass on the textures.

Arsh, that rocks.
Get it? :P

wait sinistergfx and AdamBrome the cool ninja model is not from me i just made an unpro quote there from thomasp post he made the model and dervers all creidtz and critics ^^

[sinistergfx]

Warby: I know; I never mentioned your name. :P

To avoid confusion; you should have used the quote tag in your post. Even then, I dunno why people would "quote" images; referring to people by name works just as well and doesn't create unnecessary clutter.

[killingpeople]

nice model graves. the shape of his head and neck look kinda ugly, imo. but some times ugly rules. people from arizona have large penes.

[steady]

ya graves, nice model but the head and neck are out of whack, seems like they belong on a super buff guy but the rest of the model seems to be a guy of average build. I like the design though. And his calve-muscles look like they could use some more polies for clean definition.

[Joao Sapiro]

love the leg part graves, hands are top knotch too !

An awesome standard of work in here as usual..

More on my real 3d warhammer 40K bolter rifle.

I used the grip from the spas 12, filling and widening it with car filler. The wood out the front is a brace for the blade. Some parts are coated with foil which will have the covering paint knocked back to reveal it in little areas. The last shot is upside down to get a feel for the finished thing while it dries on the table. Detailing and paint next /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Getting close.

[Steakhouse]

Adam: I've got no idea what purpose your structure serves but it looks quite derelict. The rusted look combined with the gaping holes for windows remind me quite a bit of a horror story. Lots of people associate something startling with horror, though for me it's the unnatural or starkly odd that causes the most terror. The idea of ACESNDING up into this place is quite unnerving somehow, possibly because having it below ground or even at ground level could have someone accidentally ending up in it. With this place you have to make a conscious decision to enter it... oddly chilling.

[Daz]

They're actually in water Steakhouse, like an oil rig.
Redsand fort is in the Thames estuary, and they are a series of offshore forts designed to keep the Nazi's out.

Adam: looking great actually. Instantly recognisable. You probably have this, but If not here's a link to the website of the restoration project. Tons of pics there: http://www.project-redsand.com/cgi-bin/fpa.cgi

[adam]

Heya Daz, malcolm passed that link on to me mid-way thru the 2D pass on this and instantly found images to areas I had to guess on. I've added my own touches to the tower (like the welded panelling on the top of the towers - first image).

Also, the tower I did isn't a replica of any specific tower, but just made of the cooler bits I found from all of them. The plan is to copy the tower 6 more times then rearrange some pieces around and introduce new modular ones to make them look different, that is... if I have the time. I'd like to have this wrapped up for Monday.

Thanks again!

Not bad, especially the mouth area looks good.

You really need to work on the connection of the nose.
The best way would be to use the loops of the lower cheeks (those running outside of the fold that runs to the corner of the nose) and let them run all the way up the the nose and across the middle of it. This way you also get nice circular loops around the nostrils.

Otherwise: (my standard remark on almost all faces /images/graemlins/laugh.gif ) the outer corner of the eyes, where the upper on the lower eyelit meet, looks a lot better if you have the loop of the upper lit go outwards to the ear. But worry about that later and fix the nose first.

vahl, i like that colorscheme. btw, why do you model hands in that bent pose - or is that bump on top of her wrist there to hold some additional detail?

i haven't been lazy either /images/graemlins/smile.gif so far it's not really a texture, mostly plain colors that scream for surface detail. and lots of normal map annoyances to clean up.

...and So what am I working on ? ( tonight ) -

It's 20.30 h (europe time) and I dresse my son for the match of football FRANCE / ESPAGNE /images/graemlins/laugh.gif /images/graemlins/tongue.gif /images/graemlins/ooo.gif /images/graemlins/mad.gif

Good luck! I hope france wins, espagne was the reason the swiss team didn't get into the quater finals 12 years ago /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Tweaked the likeness last night and started working on the eyes proper. Hopefully she's looking less like Paul Mcartney now:

http://www.daz-art.com/sculpt6.jpg

[Vitor]

To be honest i'd prefer that both France and Spain loose /images/graemlins/laugh.gif But good that France won, i think that the way too confident spanish actitude (i live at 2km from spain, i know what i'm talking about ;D) was deserving this.. 3-1 was even soft, a few more france goals would be great /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

But football apart, here is what i done today:

Agreed, although with the edge loops you have you could define the arms and front torso quite a bit more.

[MoP]

And the feet have faaar too many polys, ZCubed /images/graemlins/smile.gif
Give the feet more shape, take out those excess edges which are forming long thin polys, and add those polys back in at the wrists (and elbows probably), which will currently look very weird when deforming.
Nice proportions and style, just the mesh needs a bit of cleaning up and optimising then he'll be good to go for UV and rig.

[Zcubed]

Thanks for all the comments; I guess I'll finish him after all /images/graemlins/grin.gif.

I'll take a look at the joints when I optimize him (probably sometime tonight). Feet definitely need some attention too.

the shading on her butt seems incorrect to me.

as for my own crap, i think i'm done - for the time being anyway, the rig and skinning is nothing short of a total hack right now.

It really is beautiful work thomasp. Something off about her eyes has been nagging at me ever since I first saw her though. I just cant pinpoint what it is. Something to do with the outer corners perhaps, but it's hard to tell from so far away. Maybe the eyewhites are a tad too white too? Great stuff overall though!

It really does look nice Thomasp, but I think the thing about the eyes is there is no bags or depressions under them. The check bone ledge just starts immediately under the eye. Still a very impressive piece, top notch.

Hey almighty_gir, it's been a while, nice to see you're still around.

Nice flow cheybea, try to smooth the mouth corners. The nasolabial fold should flow all the way up to the nostrils, not end on the corners. Some tweaking on the ear and should be a great head.

[Gmanx]

More on my warhammer 40,000 Bolter Rifle prop. After a silver base coat and a black top coat, here's where it's at. I'm going to sandpaper off the black, leaving it dull and in some areas letting the silver through. There will also be a lot of weathering and other colours, like the brass shells in the mag. I'll accentuate the winged skull with another colour too.

http://www.gmanx.com/album/Bolter/Bolter_10.jpg

[LordScottish]

That's great Gmanx! I once made one out of wood, but it wasn't as cool as yours

[Moz]

the pistol grip looks like it should be larger. For some dude in a space marine uniform and big hands that thing would be tiny.

[Gmanx]

Thanks Lord Scottish!.
Moz - Yeah, that's the biggest grip I could find (from a spas 12 shotgun replica) and has the biggest trigger guard too - for those big power-armoured gloves. It sits big in your hand, but the rest of the thing is so freaking huge...If I had more space/time I'd make a wooden grip from scratch.

[Ruz]

[hawken]

gmanx that rifle is great! I don't think the grip is too small, fairly similar in size to ones I've seen before at "games day" etc.

Are you going to dirty up the blade a bit then? would be nice to see a few nicks and cuts out of that.

Vassago: Yes but I posted an older version in this thread here and it was a different link.

If you turn on "catch global AI exceptions" in the options you'll get an "unhandled Global AI exception" message when that crash happens. AF told me to leave that off since the AI supposedly catches them already but I think it's called an unhandled exception because the AI didn't.

Thanks Poop. I went with the mits to cut polys, so I'm planning on painting two fingers on the widened geometry. If it looks bootylicious I'll change it!
Just laid out the UVs and started in. He's 990 polys and a 512 map.

Looking nice in the texture Proto. I'm liking what you're doing with the texture, but it could stand to have a lot more color variation, the white bits are looking a little dead at the moment.

Here's a new project of mine,

feedback would be much appreciated /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[aesir]

Fuse, you've gotta get some stronger shadows in there, especially under the eyebrows and to the right of the eye. Use some blue in the shadows.

The likeness is really good btw.

[Fuse]

i am sorry .. i updated the file a few minutes after posting it .. i toned down the contrast because i thought it was horrid .. i think it's a little btter now .. i agree about adding some complementary hues to the shadows

i do hope the likeness is good, i've stared at it for so long it's becoming difficult to tell ..

[killingpeople]

Jaco, the wrinkles look sex. i think the skin looks a little too hot colorwise. imho, the magic is in the greys. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Bradfordart, bodacious style dude. i dig on his whacky armor.

graves, looks good. shoulder pad is buggin me a bit. its repetition seems to obvious, i'd make the copied plates run into a larger peice that is arranged in a way that makes it feel more firmly attatched to his arm.

Fuse, it's coming along. i'ould push the contrast a bit. i tend to paint in small dots where the darkest features of the face would be, like the nostrils, corners of the mouth, eye folds etc. and blend them in, and start from there.

[gauss]

what KP said, fuse. squint at the shot of your WIP--hardly any features are visible.

very playful stuff, CrazyButcher! i enjoy the colors and styling.

i use 3ds max 6. i know im far from finished but i need to know how to make it look better. any suggestions?

jalechah, go pimp your own thread dude /images/graemlins/wink.gif itll be easier for you to sort the crits that are meant for your model, from the ones that arent. this thread is a sort of... mishmash of everyones poop.

good work though /images/graemlins/smile.gif you shouldnt use my body tutorial, cos its old, and it sucks, and if your looking at the work from these guys, youll find im not that amazing.

but well done on blocking out the basic shapes. dont be shy about adding polies if itll help define things, just try not to go overboard /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Here's another object for the TASpring mod I'm working for:

http://webpages.charter.net/vassago5k/temp/swta/impturboturret_ren1.jpg

They're all pretty monochromatic, but it's based on late empire stuff, which is all pretty mono. The only real color is going to be coming from the team color bits of the skin.

[KDR_11k]

It's looking a bit clean, wasn't everything in SW pretty rusty?

[SHEPEIRO]

looks cool, wold be nice if there was a door/peep hole or vet to break up the side panels a bit

[Vitor]

Some new wip from me:

http://img344.imageshack.us/img344/4955/smallchar8pr.jpg

Very lovely style Renaud Galand. I just think the elbow is abit too high /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[SHEPEIRO]

looks sweet vitor, id suggest pulling the bottom of the jaw out at mo it looks a bit like a gurning grandad /images/graemlins/laugh.gif cool if thats what your going for,

like the way the face is like an exoskeleton

[nkoste]

Looking good Vassago. Graves & poop nice! Vitor that's very nicely detailed, Could use a little more work all around on the basic shape. Eyes and jaw need refining.

[Vitor]

Thx a lot both /images/graemlins/wink.gif yes the jaw looked lame that way, already fixed. About the eyes what you mean nkoste? at least it wasn't my intention to make it like a anatomic correct skull (who would guess that anyways? lol) so i changed a big their shape to make it all look more agressive. Dunno if thats what you mean anyways... eyes it self is also the design problem i'm facing, dunno how to create now the eyes, perhaps he could be just blind.

[SHEPEIRO]

just add a glow inside the socket,

or have shrivelled skin/eyesball behind the bone of the socket

[nkoste]

Hi Vitor. Perhaps it's a taste thing, but I think they're looking a little bit round and dull and I thought you might be able to get something more interesting out of it by giving them some corners or more defined edges. This skull almost has square eyes, see what I mean?

http://medicalimages.allrefer.com/large/skull-of-an-adult.jpg

[Joshua Stubbles]

KDR, yeah. Most everything was pretty rusty. But it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense having stuff built rusty. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Vitor]

oh i see what you mean now nkoste. Fixed that and also added the masseter. Don't want to make it too busy with many muscles but this one was needed. Will now try to start softing the surfaces and shapen the edges... :

But it needs some more contrast and a lot more colorvariation to make it "come to life".

[aniceto]

i recognised the face straight away fuse, but the highlights give me that "dodged" impression, which makes it look more like dry skin.

i did my best with the texture, sucks that you think it's killing it... personally i think it came out better than my previous texturing attempts ..i think i've learned a great deal this time around, for the sake of actually finishing the model i need to continue with the rest of the skin

[Sectaurs]

Fuse, its coming along well, but it lacks any real depth. Might want to try flattening the image to one layer, duplicating it and setting it to overlay or some other layer style to jump-start some real values in there.

the whole thing is very monotone. add some red where the skin is thinnest and at the tip of the nose. add some subtle blue around the jaw for his facial hair.

also, it looks like you've painted his cheekbone to not follow the modeled cheekbone, which makes it look a little awkward, particuarly towards his ear.

Its a fine effort, just don't give up on it yet

[Makkon]

Hmm, looks fine fuse. I agree that the texture could use some work, but we all have room for improvement.

Here's another little thing I've been working on. Anybody got some ideas as of where I can go with it?

prototyp3 sweet character. the pants could use maybe some patches on the knees. I could definately see him in a game though.

[prototyp3]

Gametitan: He's on a biped right now. I don't like biped's controls much so I'll put him on a regular max bones rig.

Jeffro: Thanks. I'll definitely try some oversized knee patches, I think they'd fit great. BTW, I noticed you're at High Impact. You guys need to stop stealing my cool coworkers! (Justin, Craig, Adam)

Proto... absolutely love his texture.

Looks like you've got a nasty seem on the inside of his forearm, though. Somethings not lining up on that shot of his back.

lowpoly like that i'd alpha the trigger and maybe the triggerguard. Would give you some more polys to smooth it out with. Looks nice otherwise


goldo: that creature is awesome, make your own thread when zbrushing it :P

[SHEPEIRO]

well i have stricter texture than tri limits, =P could have smoothed it off way more, but i dont want it to look stoopidly detailed next to other assets in the game, as it is its in keeping without any alpha problems esp with mipmaps.

this will only ever be... what like 256 pixels long in game anyway

Freehand, no references. No wait, i looked in the mirror occasionaly.

[Matabus]

You probably SHOULD use ref untill you can model proper edge loops in your sleep and THEN try some free hand.

*edit* Didn't mean to sound harsh there. Just giving my advice. I in no way am eluding to the fact that I can make models with perfect anatomy and edge loops in my sleep either. It's just always a good idea to start off taking in as much ref as you can.

[Makkon]

However harsh his words may be, he's right. You need to use a reference until you do it naturally. In fact, even when you can do it naturally, you should still use a reference of some kind.

[replicant77]

Ok so here is where I am at this point. Its all pretty simple at this point. I want to take it into Zbrush and sexy it up. Any one know some good tutorials on Zbrush?
