So what are you working on?

[odium]

Ya know, if instead of some of you bitching about everything thats not what you like, and you actualy gave serious thought into your posts, this place wouldn't be a bad place. Thats not even about the image I posted either, thats just the general attitude I get from here.

A Work in progress thread, to me at least, says "Hey, take a look at what i'm doing. Its not finished yet and your not seeing it all, but I'll show you for feedback!"

[odium]

Mop, please point out where I said a 4096x4096 texture for a head is a good idea.

I'll be waiting for your apology for being a big headed git in the mean time.

[Fuse]

My comments regarding texture size were more with respect to the magazine alone taking such a large amount of space.. But it's your model, do what you wish..

You know, regarding view models receiving so much texture resolution, i find that often times such sharpness on the view model relative to the characters/environment really stands out.. I suppose i am talking about texel density here (correct me if i'm wrong). I think a model with a well defined shape goes a long way with a moderate texture resolution. Fluid animations also help make an immersive experience.

Anyway odium i think you should just relax, you're at threat level omega already, people arent out here to get on your case.

[fritz]

uh oh....it's time for some gaf-style popcorn.

[Fuse]

*pops one into the microwave

[Spug]

*pops in franky goes to hollywood, skips to RELAX

[buddy the designer]

FakeFactory does really eh poor job on these "HIRES WTF OMG FTW" textures since they're enlarging originals and stamping some details from other photos...

Odium have never said that he thinks 4096x4096 is ok for a head, he only said that 2048 for a weapon might be ok in some cases and that's not that big problem since he saw ppl use 4096 for head alone.

And to be honest 4096 map for a head is only used in Movies/Cinematics these days, one cg character I remember (forgot the movie's name) was 16000x16000 pixels with head propably taking something around 4k.

[Slum]

In odium's defense, he didn't actually say a 4096 was a good idea, he just used that outlandish size as justification for using higher res textures of his own. Kind of like "who cares what i did, look what HE did"

But, that doesn't mean he's any less of a prick.

[odium]

Thanks, erm, I guess. Cock nose.

[HandSandwich]

Looks good indian_boy. You might want to work on your smoothing groups though. Otherwise, texture is spot on. /images/graemlins/crazy.gif

[notman]

I think you've smoothed your box too much.

[MoP]

Yeah that box could easily be 6 quads instead of the 60 zillion you have there. Optimise, man! /images/graemlins/smile.gif

that topology isn't really working for me mate /images/graemlins/smile.gif

my only reaction to all of odiums "points" (since almost all of them have sort of negative comment aimed at this forum), is:

b) that post has developed more 'crits and comments' within a few minutes than all my posts in polycount have ever done, on average, put together?

personally i liked your old model better topology wise, right now it seems that the very ends of your new model have a lot of triangle fanning, which could result in an akward uv map, try to make you model more close to the one above your post.

Edit: also, i vote B!

131 polys with a 128 texture there. Apparently it's an item for the player to pick up (HL2 mod btw), so I figured 128 was a nice number (soooo close!). I ripped the texture from the ether, so other than that, whatcha think?

[flaagan]

Coldwolf.. you should remake it into the dopefish (http://www.dopefish.com/)!

[HonkyPunch]

Um, snake<insert number>
What the hell are those drawings of?
I can't tell.

[snake85027]

suppose to be a killer spy drone in a pillbug shape. I took two different colors and did a render cloud filter and then did some difference clouds on it. At first I wanted to let my imagination wonder in it and try to come up with something different but it wasnt clicking so I went with a pill bug body. I made a shell top with an arm comming down the side with a gun attached. And up front there is the lense and at the back there is suppose to be some kind of engine or something. And then ofcourse the lights that extend and move around.

[Rwolf]

On my way? or just horrible?

http://student.vfs.com/~3d62trevor/wip/Satyrtest.mov

[Neo_God]

Word to the wise mr.85027 do not use those filters. Espeically on a concept, can we see what it looked like before you threw all that crap on it?

Rwolf, that's looking okay, but it seems a little static. Although there's more movement in that guy than most people who play guitar hero, he at least does a little bit of pelvis moving.

[snake85027]

i actually used the filter to open up some kind of imagination. It wasn't an overlay, it was suppose to let my mind be more open.

[rooster]

its a good idea, but you're far better off hand-painting some texture or using anything else but difference clouds

[perna]

snake8, you belong more in some New York art gallery making millions of dollars off of rich housewives

hell yeaaaaaaaaa, im in

holy crap FULL THROTTLE!


i loved that game adam...

[NeoShroomish]

I had that game but I could never get past the very first bit O_o

Keep in mind I was probably like 5

[Sectaurs]

snake, after you get the juices flowing with that sort of white-noise inspiration, make sure to slap down some sort of fill or at least some thick lines around your drawing. Starting out that way can often be a good idea, but its time to cut the cord and separate the subject from it's inception.

so filter > paint > paint over filter

[Fuse]

I think i went a bit too crazy with the droopiness of the flesh around the mouth .. i'll have to tone it down towards the final ... it's all a wip

[Joseph Silverman]

It's not the level of droopiness, it's the anatomy/shapes. I tried to explain it in an earlier post, but you really ought to get some reference. Lips themselves are looking slightly improved.

[Spacey]

ironbear: yes! gogogo
tacit math: That hair wins. Was she sculpting friendly, or did you have to fix her up some?

Fuse: Probably got a bit carried away with this, but...

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y121/wootmonkey/fuse_po.jpg

- I think the chin/bottom lip is throwing the whole thing off. There's a vertical indent which shouldn't really be there.
-The eyes don't look like they have the tear duct bit on them. Be sure to add that.
-The nostrils are connecting directly into the face. They should curl in giving a slight lip at the bottom.
-The crease that runs from the nose down to the lips starts above the nostrils, not below.

http://www.beatsmith.com/oil/rex-5.jpg

[Ferg]

great sculpt over the sdk tacit, but the face seems unremarkable compared to the rest of her

BoilingOil: There's a little checkered cube button in the max material editor right below the area with all the material spheres, click on it while you have your texture selected and it will make the texture display in the viewport on your model.

[Spug]

tacit: lookin sick, keep up the good work. The character has so much personality. I wish i had as much creativity as you do.

Fuse: lookin real good dude, the lip looks a whole lot better than it did before. Take a look at your upper eye, brow, nose, and ear. I need to work on my proportions as well, but get that down pat and the sculpt will really shine.

Oil: looks good, keep it up

[tacit math]

thanks guys

Ferg : i'm gonna keep her face quite quiet looking. but i agree. needs some love

Spug : much of the credit has to go to Spacey. it's really just that slinky form he started that i'm developing off

very nice!

you need to fine tune the walk cycle a bit more though. It has a feeling of weight but the legs linger a bit too long on the return cycle, they should pickup and thrust more to support the weight. Also, rotating the feet more wouldn't hurt.

Walk cycles always look better when they are slightly exaggerated.

Feels a little confined like a guy walking whilst crouched down.

out of interest, how are you rendering this out? (illustrate or some other such magic?)

hawken - Yeah after i rendered it i saw some errors in the cycle, i might come back to it when i have some time.
Oh its simple fullbright, But for the outline i did that duplicate geometry trick when you group extrude a second model over it and cull the faces facing the camera leaving an outline.

Ah nice robg. i see you're using gamemaker. Is that rendered out to sprites, or can GM actually load models now? (it had primitive doom-like 3d last time i used it, but couldn't load actual models. only sprites)

[larolaro]

DeathByChris - Yeah intend on making a game, but i think what i have so far is just a test for me, when come to make it for real it will be far better planned out. I'm just testing how things will look.

Slum - GM can load .obj models and such but my coding abilities lack, so these are just sprites.

Seconding this - I'm actually looking into various 3d printing methods right now because I want to make a custom transformer for myself. Was he a one-off or did you have molds made for mass production?

[Wetterschneider]

I modeled it in Max using Powernurbs. Ashley got emails every once in a while to make suggestions, and I could easily work his tweaks into the geometry. The factory used the nurbs data to output 3 prototypes, all collections of those small bits in the screengrab. They assembled the prototypes and Ashley handpainted one of them. One of the other unpainted protos can be seen in the photo.

While that might look like reasonable engineering, it isn't. It works for the prototypes but the factory is going to have to make a few changes for the final production version. Once those changes are made, though, the full blown consumer production can start.

On the second shelf in the show photo, there are more models. The Gary Taxali figure is also done in Powernurbs, but the Nathat Jurivicius monsters for MTV were sculpted in Maya.

All the models were output using the same printing tech. As long as the modeled elements are solid closed chunks, the printer has no problem with them. They need to be tesselated very finely, and the polycount is often in the millions.

But usually the base models are the same old meshsmoothed sub-d box modeled geometry that everyone is familier with. If you want to get a cheap estimation for a one-off try www.3darttopart.com (http://www.3darttopart.com)

[gauss]

oh MAN! big ashley wood fan, so it was cool when he showed part of the 3d model on his blog i was rather piqued... low and behold, the model in question was produced by a polycounter i've met /images/graemlins/smile.gif very nice work wetter, definitely a piece to be proud of. i don't even want to think about how hard it would be to get my hands on one of those bots--and more to the point, if i got one, i'd probably have to get them all. these collectibles are an all or nothing proposition, of course, so i think i'll stick to ash's artbooks /images/graemlins/smile.gif

edit: and where the hell is your own thread for this piece? it's a bit more involved than just an incidental post in the "what are you working on" thread, don't you think? /images/graemlins/wink.gif

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v305/Neo_God/saw.jpg

[Sectaurs]

Wetterschneider - what company did you guys use to prototype him up?

[Wetterschneider]

Sectaurs - we have a couple of factories that we work with, they are very skilled and they do the output on-site. However they do not do one-offs, they only output protos for actual production projects that we have in the pipeline i.e. Taxali, MTV, Pipebot.

[Richard Kain]

Yes, I'm planning on having a small 1-player campaign. (very small, probably no more than three or four levels) But before that, I'm going to construct a multi-player level based on the office that I work at. (a little favor to my co-workers) I want the single-player levels to be a humorous send-up of office culture. I want all the enemies to be zombies, but I want them to be obviously parodying common office behaviour until you get too close. For the moment I'm just trying to get the nuts and bolts in place. I'm working on the HUD weapons at the moment. I'll post some concepts for the enemies after I'm done with that task. (could take a while)

[perna]

cool stuff diffa

[Ruz]

JKMakowka - after seeing your stuff I downloaded that game engine and although it seems to support normal mapping for environments, I didn't see any normal mapped characters - could you enlighten me please

[JKMakowka]

My stuff? "Richard Kain" is working on a Sauerbraten mod /images/graemlins/smile.gif

But I think I can answer that question too. Normal mapped characters arn't supported by sauerbraten yet, and I really think that the character format support (it just got a working md3 support... used to be md2 only) is the biggest downfall of the otherwise really quite nice engine. It is a planned feature though, but it doesn't seem to be a high priority one /images/graemlins/frown.gif

[Richard Kain]

Actaully, I think Sauerbraten supports normal maps. It allows for specifying advanced shaders, and several of the default packages it comes with have normal maps in them. (for the level textures) I don't know if it supports normal maps for models though. I will have to test that. Also, I'm not sure if it supports dynamic lighting + normal maps. Having static normal maps in conjunction with pre-baked lighting is much different from having a normal mapped animated character walking with dynamic lights and shadows.

And yes, its kind of a bummer that it only supports MD3 and MD2 files at the moment. MD3s are just fine for static objects, its what I'm using right now, and I haven't had any problems. But the animations will be much more limited if I try to make anything more complex. I would really prefer Ogre's .mesh format. Still, you have to work with what you have.

[Ruz]

oops sorry JKMakowka , was out on the piss on last night with my ex workmates at monumental ha ha. very hungover;p

yesh its a shame about the characters or I would be using it too.

looking nice diffa, bit of a jak and daxter feel to it

oglemeanimations - coming along but a few things I noticed.

The grout in the brickworks has a really thick horizontal band which repeats down the wall - looks a bit odd

The windows don't seem to be recessed, like they are pictures hanging on gallery wall

Neeed some variation in colour, everything is very uniform. perhaps some dirt overlays too.
lighting needs work. Its as though the scene is lit indoors and the lights themselves are completely dark

Anyway here is the result of my tests today that I was discussing with MoP and others in 2&3D discussion
15 mins zbrushing, 1hour in max setting up the damn smoothing groups and re doing the uvs

Heya Ruz, all things noted, pretty much all of which I'm aware of, everything is in more of a placeholder state right now, probably too early to post in hindsight. All those things you mentioned will be fixed by the next post. Thanks for the comments. /images/graemlins/smile.gif
