Rainy Sunday, So I took a concept I wanted to model for ages and played during a couple of hours with it. (head base mesh from Mudbox). I'll maybe make a whole character of it...

[katzeimsack]

please use jpgs for such images, gif just screws up the colors (max 256 colors)

[rooster]

that's got some really nice design deibling! I think your colours are a bit strong and clashing, like a lot of the image is competing for your attention. Itd be nice to figure our your focal points and adjust the colours and contrast to draw the viewer's attention.

hah, he mentions harsh colour, then posts this:

[JesterBox]

Trying to convey lots of textures in one picture on my first "big shot" at Photoshop... metal and cloth prove difficult to me.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v679/JesterBox/JBX.jpg

Obviously not done, I seek harsh criticism

[rooster]

jester, I think you're making the classic early mistake of painting things lighter as they bulge out towards the viewer. So that means, youve painted it as if the light is coming directly from the viewer which is unusual- normally the light source is from above.

think again about an imaginary light coming from above your character, and notice things such as the underside of the arm should be darker than the top. As an excercise, imagine the light and paint each material in 3 pure colours: one for where the light directly hits the surface, one for where the surface is 90 degrees to the light, and one for where the surface is facing away from the light

I think if you try this you'll notice a distinct improvement in the impression of 3d space you're trying to create

[vahl]

rooster : awesome, I love that 3d vector stuff you're doing /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[JesterBox]

I see what you mean Rooster, I started with the idea of light coming from the high right side. But looking at it again, there are parts I've plum forgotten. The monster/human skin is were I started, It needs reworking I suppose.

A side note, does the cloak look at least cloth like? What about the helmet does it a appear metallic?

P.S. sorry for the question barrage. I must absorb knowledge!

[{scumworks}]

Working on head model. Did sketch about a week ago.

http://www.scumworks.com/otr/polycount/spacy.jpg

Thought I'd try do a mudbox, make a few textures blah blah..

http://www.scumworks.com/otr/polycount/sgtDomo1.jpg

Really wanted to try some sss skin, so I went in a different direction with textures. Only the head is textured so far.

I'll try uploading a higher res later, my lappys a senil slowmo..

[spitty]

did some more work on visor. i just got him into zbrush and did a little work on his flesh. i'm going to try zbrushing his armor if my wimpy computer can handle it. i built him starting with arsh's base mesh.

@Spitty not sure if you are looking for crits, but the torso looks a bit to long and as a result the legs look a bit stumpy.

Sorry for the black backround, it seemed to be the only way the glass looked right in Deep Exploration. Also, the seam isn't as bad as it looks(but I'm still working on it). Something whacky with DE is making it weird when rendering.

I think rooster is more another world-like than i76 with this one methinks.

The characters in themselves were only half as interesting before I'd seen the world they'll be in. It all fits together quite lovely. Any plans to make something out of this?

Some Silo stuff. Just doodling away, planning to retopo later. I wish you could automatically get the displacement information of the first sculpt back on your retopologised model, that'd be cool.
And yes, one of them's in zbrush, but only for prettyness' sake /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[killingpeople]

rad style, rooster

[JordanW]

rooster kinda of remindes me of out of this world for some reason, guess it's the shading.

whacha think? i like the one on the right most. (left is just to see "normal" proportions, although this one looks pretty stretched)

[rooster]

im really happy someone's digging the pics /images/graemlins/smile.gif
pea: theyre not neccecarily tied in any way, I just started with a dude and for the next one wanted to cut loose a bit. So they're not for anything but I'm getting some ideas for sure

its great working on these because I feel like a proper artist again and not a 'make it look like this picture' monkey

im not dissing realistic work btw but the imagination can get cooped up eh

edit: btw pea, love the sculpted style, can totally see your painting style in there

[Japhir]

oh, btw i made this website's graphics for my work /images/graemlins/laugh.gif (my first job EVER, also first finished project).

SupRore, been following your stuff with interest, but this time you pimped way too soon.
This is by no means perfect, but keep it flowing, keep it clean:

[Vitor]

Still without my computer... Instaled Mudbox demo but it the biggest crap ever, couldn't do anything with it. So downloaded the Photoshop demo and did an oldstyle texture, still working on it:

http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/1439/textz8.jpg

[Joseph Silverman]

Looking cool, vitor. Could probably use a bit more sharpness in some places though, the eyes in particular look really unfocused and soft.

Per, thanks for the crit, been a long time since I've done any lowpoly character art. Here's some progress on my cleanup, hopefully a slight improvement.

Guess it's about time I posted something a little more serious. Modelled him awhile ago, still working on the tex, I think the normal is done (but not used in this shot).

Spent the last couple days riggin and did a test pose. I'm not gonna show the wires 'cause it's ugly. I still haven't commited ,myself to any certain style of character modelling, they all start and end differently. I've only done about 10 Ai and they are all fairly different.

This guys started by tracing a gargoyle head in photoshop and exporting the .ai file, then extruding it. Can't remember but I think the body was mostly done by extruding a cube. The wings were a spline.

does one side really matter?? It looks good so unlesss the test is completely anal about matching screw for screw then I can't see having 2 sides instead 3 being such a big deal.

The bears ears look pretty square, but it's hard to tell. With so many polygons, couldn't you round out the top some? Might be the angle, though. Waste your kb's on some more angles, you dutchy!

It was pretty calm at work those last days, so for once I decided to make something less progamming side than usual and I start to model a little idea I had some weeks ago.

Only thing I can see adjusted would be the wires hanging off the pole...otherwise like the comp.

Looks awesome NCE.

Very cool iron,

Have you considered playing with his proportion to maybe something like this?

or this? (http://www.zbrushcentral.com/zbc/attachment.php?attachmentid=38781)

[ironbearxl]

Thanks Don; The proportion/anatomy is weak right now, i'll take your advice and some others have suggested about breaking away from symmetry and T-pose. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I friggin love that, NCE

rooster, really interesting and powerful-looking design. I love how the clip works. I might have to, um, borrow that sometime..

Working on a new character. Not quite sure where to go with him from here, I don't want to risk overdoing him. Started from a heavily modified version of Arshlevon's baseman (such as having divided him into three parts, and cavities for mouth and eyes). Going to add some hair to him next as soon as I've sketched something that looks good.

Beaker? I should've spent more time on this, never really reached a good likeness as I quickly and sloppily mucked about and accidentally gave him almost a hi-top fade...

Dayum East, that is very nice! Looks real solid.

[DanConroy]

Found a good concept on the Lionhead forums and thought i'd have a go. Going to texture this soon'ish.

http://uploads.dodart.net/uploads/Bandit_Camp.jpg

Still need to clean a few things up.

And the concept is here :

[Xenobond]

http://kman.cottages.polycount.com/images/temp/terra02.jpg
A little more progress. But I've been looking at the characters from Final Fantasy IV for the DS and there are some serious proportion changes between the two games. I'll keep going on in this direction though, and finish her up, and then decide if I want to go with the more realistic IV style for the model as opposed to III's pear-bodies.

hey rooster, would you mind posting a little info on how your achieving that vector effect? its looking awesome.

[rooster]

hey mike: really nothing to it, turn off scene lights (or make materials self-illuminated) and apply coloured materials to polygons

Since I made a crapload of cars...I thought I should get one decent car finished and get rod of the rest on my site and just put them in one scene later on....

This one though I want to compliment it with a strong environment piece as background...perhaps a mechanical, industrial setting.

Also forgot to render the alphas as one sided...thus the artifact.

[emerge]

thanks i really like the hard edge style on your sculpts, they just looks so clean. are you using mudbox or zbrush?

Thx for the comments guys !

Seems a hefty size for an aircraft like that...I think 512 may do it justice than a 1024 where there are should be more details involved.

[redmond_david]

1024 is fine, if he shrinks it to 512 he'd lose sharp details like the rivets.

Looks Ace, gj mate.

[Japhir]

Renaud: very nice! really strong features!
Slaught: nice! like the soft yet sharp textures if you know what i mean /images/graemlins/tongue.gif.

Be prepared for some follow up comments, the low poly supposedly is for under 500 tris. The soldier is a bit above that so you shouldn't have too many complainers just an FYI. /images/graemlins/laugh.gif Looks ace though.

The low poly ds Soldier was done by me Vig, that kick ass Sniper is being done by Slaught.

[Jaco]

Just trying to gain some 2d skills, I'd appreciate some advice on where I fucked up

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v332/Jacoh/wtfWip.jpg

[Mark Dygert]

Not a bad start Jaco.

Suggestions:
- Don't cheese out and cover up hands if you have trouble drawing them. Take a few days and study hands, draw hands and soak yourself in a sea of hand reference.
- The green glow would light the hands and cast green light on the character.
- Try not to draw shadows in black, but a darker shade of the base color.
- Try not to outline your character in shadow when they are on a light background. Normally you want some rim lighting to lightly outline them. Read up on 3 point lighting and really try to work in some kind of lighting set up in your head while you're blocking things out.

that trashcan does look cool but why does it look like its made of reinforced concrete and solid aged copper? I guess its personal preference but Ive never seen one like that.

and Ged, I've seen trash bins that had, what looked like, concrete panels on the sides of it, it looks good to me.

Just started sculpting a Peruvian head based on those funky skulls they found that had the elongated craniums...got a little carried away with it.

Scoob: those are some low kneepads, man. Either they're not on the knee, or the knees are just too low. It's also all a bit 'inflated'-looking (reminds me of pillowshading in drawing), but since you said 'babysteps', I take it you're not entirely finished with it anyway.

http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g192/achmedthesnake/lob_mdbx02.jpg

[Neox]

@defeat: it's simply the bronze shader by ralf stumpf with some changes i made, i didn't like the heavy cavity masking, because it's giving the sculpt a pretty dirty look.
And i changed the intensity to achieve a brighter look on subtools i don't have activated, so i activate a small invisible piece inside the body and the rest is inactive.

achmedthesnake: nice work so far, but i'd try to break the symmetry a bit more if possible /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Hi everyone new poster here. Been lurking this forum for a while for inspiration. I have a bad habit of putting my work out online so I thought this thread would be a nice place for getting some quick comments and feedback.

[Neox]

wow adamlewis, really nice work, creppy guy, but i agree with bobo, longer fingers would help the exegerated look

@driller killer: really nice style /images/graemlins/smile.gif

did a quick normalmaptest, no final uv layout, just a quick test if it works or not

http://polyphobia.de/nonpublic/airborn/boy_05.jpg

and one question for the unreal pros, would it be better to have the head seperate (also extra texture sheet) when i want to switch the ingame and sequence mesh? normally he's shown like 90% from behind so i think i don't need so much polygons in his face. but maybe th polycount doesn't matter that much, heard that u3 can handle tons of polygons and has only problems with texturepages, so having him all on one page would be better? i normally prefer having the head on an extra texturesheet, it's better to work with, at least for me ...
