So what are you working on?

Woo, feckin' AWESOME!

[ironbearxl]

unfluffybunny - It looks like you used a whole lot of dodge and burn there. Without an imaginary light source, it generally looks flat.

Syn, have you tried making an AO map for that SDK? It can help a bit for defining areas, too.

Oops, not Syn, I meant Unfluffy bunny. Silly me, using your old nick from other forums... >:)

thanks for the advice steady and ironbearxl, guess I over-stylised @_@, trying to neaten as I go over this second pass, still alot to tidy up but the third pass wont be far off /images/graemlins/smile.gif

oooh and Val, what kinda fool do you take me for? :P

[Johny]

thats very dodgy n burny man /images/graemlins/frown.gif

[Tumerboy]

seriously, I think all you'd have to do, is take whatever layer has all the dodgy burny stuff, and set it to be like 35-50%. It would probably look pretty good then. Then go back and make a new dodge/burn layer and only put the strong highlights & shadows in the extreme edges.

[Makkon]

RobG, how do you mange to make a decent eye in mudbox? Every attempt of mine always ends up ugly and messy. Hot stuff, I love the nose.

unfluffybunny, It would also look better if you didn't shade with black and didn't highlight with white. Currently the shadows make him look like he's standing under a tree.

[Xaltar]

Damn, over 7000 replies here /images/graemlins/blush.gif

A remodel of a character from vampire the masquerade Redemption, just the face so far. Texture is a huge WIP.

http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/5819/chrishedtl2.jpg

http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/8966/chrished2pf4.jpg

Giving hand painted textures a try, this is only the base layer atm using the origional character texture as reference so I keep the char looking like the origional as much as possible. Crits welcome as always. Oh and its a Diffuse only deal, the game engine is old lol

[cyi]

RobG: That looks really great man, love the style. Here is my first attempt at a head in mudbox also...still trying to get used to the tools so I spent about 2 hours on this so far. I'm gonna go back in and add some more detail, especially to the ears which are just roughed out at the moment. Any advice as to the ear size and placement? Hopefully the next one will go more quickly.

thats why I use mudbox. In zbrush you have to skulp the eyes, in mudbox you just import two spheres /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[Makkon]

But on rob's head you can see that he sculpted it. I want to do that, it would be so much less hassle.

[$!nz]

less than an hour with arsh's baseman mesh, forget zbrush it came out alright but I cant work in it as fast as i can mudbox. My print screen button works only sometimes which is just great... Or i could have shown both. Oh well!

Been a while since I've posted any work in this thread. And seeing its still going strong, I might as well post my latest little project. I'm trying to learn using 3DsMax properly, but then again I went out and bought polyBoost for this one, which probably helped me out a lot time-wise. Still have a few things to do like gloves, lases for the boots and dressing him from his waist to his knees.. as well as doing something more with his knees that is.

and where do you stand in the .png versus .jpg war?

[/ QUOTE ]
Png is a lot more like gif than jpg, isn't it? It indedex colour, making it better fit for things with clear colour-separation, and not so much photographs. Png wins over gif most times, i feel. I always just try everything though, Photoshops 'Save for Web' is fantastic for that.
There's a comparison somewhere that shows png as being a better fit for things like gradients and such more, you should just google that some time.

Heres a model I posted earlier...still trying to wrap it up. Obviously there are still seams and I need to do a bit more work on the texture. I am still not too thrilled with the colors. 2400 tris and 512x512 texture.

A test map in Quake 4, just working some stuff out. The FPS is actually closer to 60 but capture has a habit of 'dropping' the framerate when it takes shots. That's with a few shadow lights in place as well so it's not too bad for performance. heh.

[Jarrod1937]

hey xaltar, getting a little nitpicky here, but in the second render to the right his right hand thumb looks too long. and if you're slightly under budget perhaps you could add in some detail to the bottom of his pant legs? they look too perfectly cylindrical to me.
again though, this is just me being nitpicky.

First free weekend after exams end, classes start monday once again. The worst is that i don't even have the files of the model i've working on here!

Its still a wip, however after i am finished drawing i am going to attempt to color it, give it some highlights, give it general shading, global lighting, and then give it some shadows. the scene is going to have a lit lantern added and will take place during night. as said, its still a wip and obviously the back is not complete yet.

Soul its outstanding, the model and the concept. Great design.

[Justin_Meisse]

mathers3000: the sword needs some optimizing on the mesh and UV layout as well. I'm at work right now but I'll whip up something to show you some pointers, the plus side is most of the techniques I'm going to show you really simplify the modeling and texturing process.

The uv's for the blade are a sticky area for me, usually resulting in a texture that is rectangular, any pros have any tips to avoid that?
Here's an example, I think the texture is 256x512 >

just using the game as influence. and i will make it thicker today. thanks for the comment!

The uv's for the blade are a sticky area for me, usually resulting in a texture that is rectangular, any pros have any tips to avoid that?

[/ QUOTE ]


uhm, what you mean?

[Justin_Meisse]

doesn't a 256x512 texture take the same amount of video memory as a 512x512? I guess having the UVs for the blade at a 45 angle could make it fit into a smaller square texture.

[/ QUOTE ]
less pixel info in the file means smaller memory footprint.
just like a 64x1024 texture uses less memory than a 1024x1024 texture.

[MoP]

Justin, as long as your texture is a power of two on each axis (64x256, 2048x512, etc) it'll be fine. 256x512 is half the video memory of a 512x512.
We use rectangular textures all the time at work, mainly for environment stuff.

[rooster]

not sure how universal this is but on the psp non square textures get resized at runtime to the nearest full square size so 120x34 would become a 128x128 (at least in our engine)
edit: actually I could be mistaken, it might just become 128x64

[Emil Mujanovic]

Awesome looking model Makkon.

-caseyjones

[motives]

depends on the engine i guess. We can run 256x512 without problems. One way to avoid the rectangular texture would be to add a edge in the middle of the blade and then uv map them side by side. This way you get some more pixels to work with aswell as a tighter packed uv.

Makkon: that real nice! whats it for?

[CrazyButcher]

square textures are not must-haves for PC and most current consoles. That engines rescale them, is also not true for all.

However some consoles, especially the ones with little "power", will need square textures. I don't know which so, but I heard the ps1 definetely had that limitation.

So normally this square stuff fully depends on your target hardware. But PC and newer consoles wouldnt need it.

One benefit of square is that you will get less and better mipmaps I guess, because dividing in "half" is done on each side indepedently. So the mipmap count is linked to longest side.
say you got 128x32, that would take 7 mipmaps, while equally spaced 64x64 needs 6. However I doubt that with current hardware that would actually play a role anymore /images/graemlins/wink.gif

But having squares is a lot more practical internally, especially for reduced power as in mobile stuff. So it makes sense that it still is a limit that exists on some hardware.

[IronHawk]

wicked stuff Soul!

[rooster]

I double checked and yeah ours (psp) will just resize to the nearest power of 2 size but keep non square so 59*120 becomes 64*128

yeah, there is a ton of color in the diffuse, but i am afriad the lack of subtle lighting has completly washed all of that out. i don't worry myself with taking the time to setup lighting within 3ds max since it takes so long (atleast for me), and leave all lighting to once its all in the engine editor.
basically take the lighting in my preview shots with a grain of salt.

here is a slightly better version of the lighting within 3ds max, but keep in mind two things. the first is that the lighting is still temporary and is only one omni with no attenuation, once in the engine much thought will be put into the lighting and will really give the level a punch. the second is that darn roof is temporary also, i dislike it and will redo it better tomorrow. i also didn't want to show this untill the level is more complete, but why not i guess, there is still much i am going to tweak and add.

[/ QUOTE ]
you mean viewport grabs? well, to speed up rendering i don't use dx materials for the viewport, so if i did take viewport grabs it would look even worse imo, the normal mapping is very important in the look. and if you mean screengrabs from the game engine... well, the c4 engine (the engine i use), while fancy with its features has terrible workflow within the editor, i would highly prefer to only have to important stuff into the editor once, and thats when i am finished.
and soul, i like your recent stuff, very interesting.

an update. while it is not very functional to have the trees on the stones like that, the person i am making this demo for thinks its cool. i am also going to be retexturing the main pillars and the ground today, those textures were just temporary.

lol yeah, well, i guess i can lightenup the shadow density a bit, thats aquick and easy change. and yes, i agree, i am going to take all textures through photoshop and up the saturation before i import them into the engine, that should take care of the bland colors. or perhaps i'll d that today, we'll see.

[/ QUOTE ]
yes, the texel res is all over the place, namely the pillars and the ground, which is why i am redoing those today. i also want to make the arch structure seem more believable today too.
as for what i am trying to make, well, i am building ruins that are based around portals. this part lies in the center of the ruins and is where the player pops out back into the ruins after visiting one of the other worlds that he/she got through in another portal. there are going to be a couple of worlds, these ruins are the center of those portals, and the center of the ruins is this portal which is the main hub where all other portals from the other worlds lead back too. should be interesting after i am done.
and yes, the two main problems you mentioned i am working on today, the texel/pixel density and the color, i've already upped the saturation on the diffuse textures so thats done, next is time for the retexturing of the arch pillars and the ground.

[Jarrod1937]

well, i am frustrated at the moment, i've imported it into the engine (which took a while) and found everything looks like shit...
i may just restart from the beginning but keep my main assests.
anyone have any suggestions what to avoid in the future (besides whats already been mentioned)?
to me, my main assets look fine seperatly, its somehow that when i bring them all together they look bad. any help?

[pyromania]

Jarrod,

If those ropes are supposed to be holding up the portal ring. The two top ropes would be taut because they are holding the majority of the portal weight. Or am I way of and the ropes are meant to hold the portal down.

[cholden]

Make your pieces more customize instead of randomly tiling your textures. As in, model, uv and texture the arches with custom textures design to enhance the shapes and add details where necessary. Trim everything. Even if it's weathering where a stone meets the ground or sun-bleached top. While you can tile textures for environments, that doesn't work for everything. Think of it like tiling a skin texture over a human head. It might look like skin, but it lacks all custom details to look like a real face.

[/ QUOTE ]It's probably because you need to make the objects believable, which was something Cholden was hinting at when he mentioned "shakey assed pillers" (or words to that effect!). One of the other things I find that helps me (at least) is modelling objects as units, so that 'dome' would have been modelled *as* a dome rather than supports with random block placed on it; in essence because it's a man made (assuming 'man' made) object it'll have purpose and design, it'll have been built with a function in mind so you have to show that to really be convincing.

Bleh not sure if that made any sense *rolleyes at self*

A little somethin' I've been working on as my brain cools down from the Dom War challenge:

http://valandar3d.fools3d.com/newWWmesh.jpg

It's for the game Freedom Force, which means the only maps it will have are a Diffuce, Glow, and Reflectivity map (which can be used to simulate a specular, butmore often usedto simulate shiny metals). The 'style' of the game is a bit more comic-booky than most, so the colors tend to be vibrant and shading often extreme.

An example of a similar mesh from the Character Viewer - in this case, War Within Optimus Prime:

[Chunkey]

Sorry for the vagueness, I was (and am) at work at the time of writing my last post /images/graemlins/smile.gif

It's the wall and pillar textures that suffer from the clay effect, they look really soft and the relief seems too strong /images/graemlins/smile.gif

With the wall texture, it may pay you to model the bricks to get the general height information and then use the normals generated from the photo for the micro relief- at the moment, it looks like the lighting of the photo is making the bricks lumpy whereever highlights in the photos are and recessing the shadow areas rather than forming proper volumes and relief.

I had to work on something similar for a personal project and found that modelling in the general volumes helped a lot in fixing this issue /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I hope that clears things up a bit /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[SeanDomega]

Thanks very much Japhir, I was finding it hard to start on a level design for my uni assignmnent and even though this isnt getting marked it kind of gives me the feel of the game from just thinking about the character. For example I wasent too sure if the game would be gundgy looking, clean etc but from this im pretty sertain it will work well grundgy, due to him being a ninja his suit should keep him fairly hidden in a mostly industrial techno japanese theme.

Bit of a strange starting point for a level design I know but It 'should' work well with my way of thinking. :P

He is actually mostly made up of advanced tech, being only his head is organic matter. I guess you can think of his as a kind of robocop of the ninja world. heh! His left arm is actually more crude then the right and will hold an assortment of ninja stars which shoot out through the gap where his two middle fingers are suppost to be...his he has only two fingers on that hand. Hmmm, I think im babbling so ill just let ya enjoy the design so far :P

I'm helping ghost_rider (re: cgtalk) with his entry by doing the stage that his character will be posed and rendered from. I've finally got to work with that mofo and I'm stoked, so I figured I'd show you guys where I am at so far.

The story: The character is a sniper and artillery mix team. So, with the idea of Shadows being 'infiltrators', the team has breached the security perimeter of <community name here>'s jungle compound by launching an artillery shell at its walls. Once in, Sniperella will be able to unleach Sniper-hell on the puny maggots that is <community name here>!

Yes, it's for the enemy - but he's the only one I really wanted to work with on this competition so I had to make a sacrifice! /images/graemlins/laugh.gif (Oh, and it's always fun to play the bad guy. Right?)

I still plan on doing a generic Polycount stage so that others can concentrate on their characters and not worry about the stage. Hopefully I'll have the time.

[Por@szek]

Neox u are using the new unreal engine? The light is very similar. And Soul ... U paint nose, haha nice change /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Neox]

Nope right now it's all max realtime and a little PS Tweaking for the bloom /images/graemlins/wink.gif
But either unreal or crysis will be the engine i'm aiming for, dpends on which i get my hands first... right now it seems, that unreal will be the first one ^^

[Por@szek]

Gratz, it will be, i spupposed a lot of fun /images/graemlins/wink.gif. Tomorrow its my job hunting day. I start from R*N, and later, dunno, maybe Rare, Eurocom, Creative Assembly and dunno what, but I;m hoping I'll settle in one above. Keep thumbs for me folks /images/graemlins/wink.gif
And if some of U know some nice studios un UK, please give me a sign, link or studio name, I'll appreciate it. thx
