So what are you working on?

[Vredesbyrd]

Hey guys god work , Cheeseontoast , I like your gladiator alot.
Hey can any1 answer my question please.
I want to know How to : Delete Vertices that are not shared by any vertex connections.
For a example a vertex between a Edge.
I'm new to max , In maya You can select all the vertices and delete the ones that don't share connections.

I'm currently building a ChainMail Armor.. I want to know How to deform it in Max without deforming the actually torus's that make up the ChainMail Armor.
Is there anyway advanced procedure for this problem.

Rens: that poor guy!

[pior]

Ramucho, actually I don't really have a clue ha! First I put a default Max skylight light in the scene, clicked lighttracer and redered but it looked too ghostly hence I added a directional spot to brighten the lighting and an omni as kicker light. Don't know if the 'lighttracer' thing was still active tho... That one dropdown menu is not very self explanatory!

Fritz, I added that one deep crease because the are is supposed to be covered with a rather thick spandex material according to the original design. But yeah the crease mlight be too thick (esp since spandex don't even crease that way :P )... I'll definately ease it on the map.

Actually, you probably can't tell from those pictures, but the tubes have some corrosion on them that looks really cool when you are moving around in the game and the light hits the normals at various angles. It gets kinda lost when just taking a snapshot...

t was roughly 10 months since I decided to sit back and study anatomy..and that slowly lead to my first ever original character design.There were some long breaks in between and I didnt really start on the modeling until the December of 2006.

Modeling done with max and mudbox.Textured and composited in Photoshop.


My inspiration was Artwork by Kolby Jukes,Blizzard and Aaron St Goddard.

I hope you guys like it;Comments are welcome

Thank You /images/graemlins/smile.gif /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Sri Ram Chandra, I saw this on CGtalk, and it's AWESOME! Great job and welcome to Polycount.

looks great dude, already saw it on tweaks. Nice model and yeah welcome on the best board ever /images/graemlins/wink.gif

[MoP]

Very nice sculpt and renders, Sri Ram Chandra, but the textures are looking a little washed out to me. They could do with some more variation, contrast and detail to be as good in quality as your mudbox sculpt there.

Also, were you inspired a lot by the Warcraft 3 and World of Warcraft cinematics for this? The first thing I thought of when I saw those renders was the Blizzard cinematics of the Tauren characters:
http://www.pcgame.com.my/images/510.jpg

Either way it's pretty cool /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Sri Ram Chandra]

hey,thanks for the comments guys !

@cholden,Sectaurs,JDinges : Thank you !!

@Davision3D : Thanks man,this was my first anatomy study;I plan on continuing my anatomy study with my next model too..

@Renaud : Whoa ! Thanks man,its great to see you here;This board looks like it has all the 1337 gameart talent in one place! Will certainly dig through the place.And hey,when are you gonna update your website man ?? The last work I've seen was your uber DW2 model...I want to see more of your work !!

@MoP : Fristoff,I must say that I loved your spectacular DWII entry!! congrats on the 3rd place!
Thanks for the suggestions,I'm glad you liked my model;the diffuse had to go through many revisions and I probably spent 3/4th of the time on texturing..I hope to improve upon this with my next one.
And yes,I was heavily inspired by that Tauren Shaman scene from WOW3 intro.I hoped to capture the "Blizzard" ambiance for my final scene before I started the composites,and I'm glad you liked it /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I intend to make a game model of my Dinotaur soon[and with a new hopefully improved texture job!] and I'm sure this board is gonna be a great place to learn /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Some nitpicking tho:
The eyes look like they´re too close together, the mouth looks a tad too low, and the hand is a bit weird.
The thumb especially...right now it looks more like a monkeys hand.
I´d move the thumb lower and rotate it a bit to give it a more relaxed and natural position. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[diffa]

http://www.alphapolygon.com/pics/works/fighter_028.jpg

[rollin]

Gavimage: you tend to make your textures too mono gray black.. they are cool with all the skin details on it but give them some colors.. even if they are very dark and desaturated (unless they aren´t so desaturated, that they look black´n grey /images/graemlins/wink.gif )

[LoTekK]

That's coming along really nicely, ben. A tad anemic, maybe? Really nice weighting overall, though, and those accessories are hot.

[nkoste]

Gavimage: I have to agree with rollin and I was really impressed when I first saw the model. the color scheme seems very similar to your dom2 entry, except it worked better for that character. If you work in some colors in accordance with your normal map I think it'll look much more interesting.

[andym12]

Looks great Gavimage. I think the little tendons going between muscles making those little holes could use with some more definition though, they look like a blurry line right now.

[Maddness]

i'm currently working on texturing/normal/spec mapping this model that was created by my friend Julio Medina.

I've got a some more details to add, but this is the upper torso. the full guy is actually minotaur with bottom of his body centaur.

[MightyPea]

WTF ODIUM. WTF.

[Neo_God]

The texture is nice odium, a little large for just an eye, but I don't think it's done. It seems like you took a short cut for the veins and just overlayed a texture that had a somewhat vein like structure. Granted it works well as eye noise, but I would go in and paint some nice prominent veins that vary in opacity.

This is something I started the other night.

[MightyPea]

Doesn't the fact that your eye-texture is three times larger than the average body posted in here tell you anything, Odium?
Even half this size is criminally oversized for an eye, and especially for something that looks like a painted/filtered eye on a background of marble. And i don't mean to be nasty either, it's just that it seems you feel justified to show your stuff in more detail than anyone else
Imagine someone posting their entire characters texture to this scale in this thread. It's just not done

[Ghostscape]

I would to work on a game where we had 1024x1024 maps for the eyes alone.

Most games don't get that much space for their props, let alone an eyeball.

which is the sort of thing people say when they've used a tutorial, omg. B1LL CARES, OR NOBODY CARES

He's really getting to you Per, that B1LL-guy. He's infesting your once-perfect and immaculate (redundancy!) english.

MightyPea, Per128, I'm going to say a massive shut the fuck up, if you will. I posted that because it was what I was working on. It was that resolution for a reason. Not all stuff is ingame.

Jesus, I never expected to hear such childish, immature remarks from you two on here of all places. You really have shown me you two in a new light if I'm honest, and added yourself to the "over the top, big headed, thinks they are better than everybody" twat brigade.

No worries. There are still people here that can give crits without being a twat. But it’s amazing why anybody would go near people like you with that attitude. I know, I used to be that way many years ago with a mod I worked on. Thank god things changed otherwise I wouldn’t of seen how bitter I looked to other people. Like you.

[Joseph Silverman]

Fun fact: The Sims 2's eyes were apparently on 1024x1024 texture sheets, but only like 80x60 or something. And there was nothing else on the image. Just one eye up in the top left corner.

Any idea why you would ever want to do that?

[Vitor]

not really sure of this, but probably with all those character customizations, they got each attribute in a different texture file, and then pack it toghether in a one full texture to run ingame. As the UVWs must be there the eye texture just takes it's place.
... there is also the probability of being completly wrong :f

Fun fact: The Sims 2's eyes were apparently on 1024x1024 texture sheets, but only like 80x60 or something. And there was nothing else on the image. Just one eye up in the top left corner.

Any idea why you would ever want to do that?

[/ QUOTE ]

The art director here at work was actually the art director on Sims 2. He told me that they used a 1024*1024 for the entire head, including the interior of the mouth. The top corner held a 32*32 swapable map for changing eye color.

Is that supposed to be a little mouth under the nose? Because I'm reading it as such, and he's looking very OMIGOD surprised /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Odium dude you need to play some slow jazz on a chillaxophone. The new eye texture does look better, and is a more reasonable size.

[rawkstar]

hehe if you read it like that hey cool! i honestly don't know which one's the nose and which one's the mouth... i don't think either was supposed to be anything, its just shapes.

I haven't seen the pics (possibly removed), but why get worked up over a penis in a model or a model of one? Do you get offended by your own penis when you urinate in the morning? Like, are you one of those sick fucks that puts on a glove and closes their eyes while handling their own dick? GET THE FUCK OVER IT!

Since I promised myself to finish all my unfinished work, I've revisted my character for the Polycount Challenge #33. Haven't decided if I'll keep the 4k tri budget and just vertex light it or whether to actually paint up a texture... Thoughts?

http://www.per128.com/pub/crap/per128_zbrush_a01.jpg

[arshlevon]

pers, go under brush menu, then all the way to the bottom, actually it is second from the bottom. there will be "alt brush size", set it to 1 not 2.

Cool tip for zbrush 3 : Start recording a macro, adjust anything you want in zbrush (document size, shadow length, brush settings etc) save it and create a custom button somewhere on the ui. Now all that tedious work can be done with a click of a button /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Kat - thanks for the feedback. I am going to try it at 1024 x 1024 and at 512 x 512. I will look into redoing the hydraulics. Something more like a quad atv style. Even if they don't lose definition in the normal map I now think they just look to weak.

The size is okay, actually. But when running an actual weld, you should be making a small circular motion as you run the bead.

Hey all...its been awhile since I've been on the forums. Been pretty busy.

Decided to really get serious about normal mapping so this is my first really attempt at trying a "pretty" face. Don't have much experience with normal mapping characters so any type of feel back would be hugely appreciated! Not sure if I'm going to build a whole character with this head or not....I guess if I can do a good job with the head I'll decide from there. I haven't taking the model into mudbox yet...wanna get as much done in 3Dmax as I can. Anyway let me know what you think....
