My first model from top to bottom, crits please /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Entity]

Hi there, this is a model i've been working on for a Crysis mod. I'm building the hires model now with traditional modeling and a whole lot of sculpting in Blender.

The body is still rough, lots more work to do /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Looks cool, although I think the lips need a lot more shape.

Had some time to finish the lowpoly of the mp40, using doom3's hybrid tangent normalmaps (which unfortunatly i can't seem to AA successfully atm)

Yes! Finally joined polycount. Ok, so here goes. I'm workin' on this dude for my game modeling class. I want some fresh eyes take a gander at this fella and maybe offer some worthy opinion. I've got a 10,000 poly budget (seems like a lot to me) and I'm not exactly sure where to go with him from here modeling wise. So, take a look please and give me some feedback.

Thanks /images/graemlins/grin.gif
Doom3 uses hybrid maps, which only smoothes faces connected in UV map, and the edges of the UV Island stay unsmooted.
Basically it means you seperate UV Islands like smoothing groups - the resulted UV map may have a few more islands as a result, but is worth it as it's the best alternative.

iced ape brain is gross. i hate having to break apart. now chilled monkey brain, thats fantastic you should try it.

[Josh_Singh]

Im part Indian, so I eat chilled monkey brains every night, along with "Snake Suprise".

do you buy like boxes of frozen monkey brains, thaw em out and then chill em. cause wikipedia says monkeys obnt live here. i wonder if Mc donalds will make a indian branch called Mc Tahoe's that serves chilled monkey brains and other foul creations from our old casino owning friends.

Concept - It took 2 A4 to get the shape right.

And my base mesh, every piece is a different object, il start adding detail to every part and shaping out the massive ship. /images/graemlins/smile.gif The little dot with the circle around it should be the size of a human.

you thinking of the wrong Indian. One is from India (the chilled monkey brains and Snake Surprise[reference to Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom] is from the country of India.

the Indian you are refering to is a horrible misnomer for the Native American tribes(who should really be refered to by their indvidual tribe names since each tribe had very different cultures and beliefs), and can be considered an insult to said peoples.

if your going to throw out racial stereotype (even in jest) make sure you get your races right. it's not funny if both parties are confused. /images/graemlins/laugh.gif /images/graemlins/wink.gif /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Finished up Lauren VIII...she's about 1700 tris, which is about 800 less then I was aiming for(well hell she's got no legs, so it's not fair).

Great stuff Johny! The normal mapping on the hair looks a bit iffy to me though - perhaps it would look better if you only relied on the specular for it. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Josh_Singh]

Hey Johhny what is your lighting set up? how do you get that awsome sort of bloom from the back light? is it in some engine?

[EarthQuake]

Johny: Looking sweet, nice maps... The normals for the hair seem much too strong, makes it look like he has some sort of plastic wig or something....

Looking really cool fire, tones of the ears dont seem to be consistant with the face. Lighting seems much more harsh there and its way over saturated with little transition into the neutral skintone. Thats about all i can crit. Great to see you're doing some work there instead of just getting high you jobless hippy.

Big rant/reply: sorry for not replying for a little, have had a lot on -- the self shadowing was a shader render texture hack, but when it's moved around and navigated it has huge issues, coming up with garbage. I don't know what the issue is, all I can come up with is max's viewport support for render to texture in shaders is pretty horrid. Sooo I've bunked it back to a pre bake map input. The code knows how to implement shadows into the sss, it's just they're not dynamically generated, which is bad but still is useful for game engine comparison (which is all viewport shaders should be used for in the end anyway... direct viewport to game comparison). Still have a few things to try with the dynamic shadows but I may give up on it for a while 'til max supports render to texture in shaders better.

I want to test out if you can make the weapon and damage behaviour in Spring very close to reality while using its ability to handle large armies to let actual unit strengths come through (rather than letting infantry survive a tank hit, having cannons fire only 200m far or other videogame-standard nonsense like that).

I was thinking of redefining the Fantasy races, with a new (place in) civilisation, based on their attributes, in a Victorian-esque world. For example, Elves would form the bourgeoisie, because they're intellectual and know magics, Orcs would be the soldier types, and so on.

The Grenadiers of the 18th century (when they still threw grenades) were picked for being tall, strong and brave enough to wait before throwing the grenade. An ideal job for Ogres!

Not sure about the armour. Looks a bit misplaced on a grenadier, but typical grenadier garment is classy and very un-Ogrish.

Those look really good to me. I'd probably go for more contrast on the Orc's armour (mainly really bright hot highlights to pick out the metal details), unless you're planning on using a specular map or something. I hope you're just keeping it pure diffuse though, I think that looks great.

The Skaven's fur around his face seems too regular and well-kept - probably should be more like the leg fur, more clumpy, messy and dirty.

[Noonie]

Yeah I wouldnt mind working there =) but I graduate in a month so right now I wouldnt mind working pretty much anywhere. Everything is diffuse so far, I dont think they use any specular maps etc so Im trying to stay in their specs. Thanks for the advice.

[Enix]

awesome stuff noonie /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

i disagree, skaven sorceres/gray seers (why doesnt yours have gray fur??) are usually very well groomed...

or maybe it was just Thanquol? i think im gonna have to go read SkavenSlayer again /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[Noonie]

Those pieces are really coming together. I like the small details. I was once told to lay a light leather spec or bump map over the leather with an overlay. I think it helps some. I need to do it for the Skaven shoulder piece.
I was working from a concept piece off the mythic site. I may desaturate it more to get a bit more grey but this felt closer to the concept to me.

Considering to ditch the helmet and shield entirely. They don't really fit with the style of the rest, and the helmet would block the head, which (for my standards) didn't come out too bad.

The highres model looks awesome, but the texturing looks to be washing out the normals?

[Joao Sapiro]

i think that the coulour scheme on the highpoly would fit better , the camouflage texture is killing it , the fingers might be a tad too thin , still that highpoly looks impressive !

Here´s a little thing I´m working on.
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y106/Dropkick60606/March06/cyass01_wip.jpg

[loose-canon]

First post here and thought a mental ray piece would be good demonstration. I'd like to start posting more projects so lemme know what you think. rock.

http://www.loose-canon.com/dualbass.jpg

[Geezus]

Just my character animation assignment for this week. Simple four legged looping walk cycle, nothing fancy :]
Clicky Clicky (http://www.chriszdana.com/dogwalk.avi)

[Neo_God]

First off Rhinokey, Xenobond and Cholden...what the fuck? It's like trying to read that Chinese Interview with BoBo.

Slaught, that's looking pretty cool. For some reason it reminds me of this one boss from the first Bloodrayne, I can't remember his name though.

Loose Canon, That looks pretty good, although the one little leg seems to stand out from the rest, like it's sharper than everything else, and my eye is almost immediately drawn to it.

Geezus, that's pretty good, however it reminds me of the way a dog walks when it knows its in trouble, or is scared.

[Geezus]

Yeah, that was one of the critiques I had gotten in class. that he looked as though he was sad or in trouble.

[Gmanx]

Geezus - The shoulder blades would absorb a lot of that vertical movement you've got in the head end of the spine. The head normally stays pretty level. At the moment the shoulders are completely locked off.

[Vailias]

Geezus: also the Hips need a little swager with each step.
Its very nice motion overall, but seems to be missing a lot of subtleties. You do have some secondary motion, which makes the anim pretty believeable, but if you add in things like the hips and shoulders actually moving the limbs into the stride I think it will be even better and very natural feeling. Rather than simply bobbing, have them rotate on their vertical and forward axis.

[HonkyPunch]

What am I working on?
A giant fucking headache in the morning, that's what.

[aniceto]

thanks for making me realise the texture looked like ass /images/graemlins/laugh.gif i wasnt sure about the camo from the start
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d3/shika01/534869fb.jpg

[rooster]

hate to bring this up now you've finished, but a zip that zips 'up' downwards? I dunno it jarrs with me as usually if you want to partially zip something its the top part you want open. It would be a pain to fully zip, and probably keep coming undone.. I dunno, it still looks cool though /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[Neo_God]

Wetterschneider, how is it working for the Vinyl Toy buisness? I've been noticing more and more of them popping up. I often see them in a Magazine I read "Juxtaposed".

Half life mod. The Specialists.

[Wetterschneider]

Neo God, it is a ton of fun designing and making toys... we have some straightlaced clients, and we help out artists and designers with their projects, and we design and manufacture our own product. The trains have been featured in Juxtapoz at least once that I know of... it was quite a thrill.

[Enix]

@rooster: I was annoyed by that part of the design, but it does make some sense. It works as a two way zipper, so its totally zipped when the zippers are each at an opposite end, kinda wierd but it allows the bottom to be unzipped, I found a real life trench emulating the style and the zipper function: picture (http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/3922/showphotophpus6.jpg).

@Pseudo: Thanks and yes, like SupRore said, its a matrix inspired Half-Life mod called The Specialists (http://www.specialistsmod.net) , its an online MP 3rd/1st person action game, definatly one of my favorite HL mods /images/graemlins/laugh.gif.

[adam]

Calling the geometry done:
http://brome.toogeek.com/stuff/crap/underworld4.jpg

Not much was done since my last update. Some chains here and there. Once I start to texture it a few sub-divisions might appear, aswell as additional chains. I'm ready to move on to texturing...

[flow3d]

Enix, sweetnes. Love it when people take that extra step and actually put their models into an engine!

[J.I. Styles]

Wetterschneider, damn cool /images/graemlins/smile.gif Enix, that gives me a pang of fanboy excitement, love the nobody design, and you've done a good job with him /images/graemlins/smile.gif

edit: thought I'd post this one too, my shadow's are borked and don't have time to fix it (getting holes and garbage in them) Thinking this shader's going as far as it will, going to try to start something fresh soon /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Noonie]

Looking good Enix. I dig how it turned out.

Skeptical Nate: Good work. I would suggest pushing the vines a bit more. Build some diffent colors in and a bit of contrats. right now they seem neon green.

Adam: Cant wait to see the textures on that. I like the shot so far.

J.I. What can I say. I dig it. I should work on getting beter with shaders. I would say the tip of his nose looks just the slightest stretched but you can barely see it. nice piece.

[rooster]

enix: ah well, if it works in real life then I can't complain /images/graemlins/laugh.gif nice one!

[Vitor]

JI. The shader is looking realy impressive. On that last model, the nose seems a bit off thou.

Nice one EQ, that's looking great. As a side question, why did you turn on faceted faces? That was one of the best reasons to switch to MudBox in my opinion. Regardless, it looks nice, and has a really sexy mouth and nostril area, and lots of nice subtle facial detail throughout.

http://www.mr-chompers.com/images/poop.gif (http://www.poopinmymouth.com)

[EarthQuake]

Ben: Thanks, I've been working more in facted mode as i go, it helps to make a much smoother mesh when you're looking at the raw polys instead of smoothed, where its easy to get messy/bloddy details happening. I've heard some people actually talking about rendering out normals liek this too, that you get crisper detail but i have not taken the time to try it yet. Bug vahl about that if you really want to know =)
