[aesir]

dude dur that rocks! However, it begs the question, how can he move his head? Does he have to move his whole torso just to look to the side? How in the hell would he look up?

[dur23]

im thinking this is kinda a resting position and then his face would come out of his body and rotate from there:)......but looking up might not be possible.....hes supposed to be old, so there would be a lot of shoulder movement to make eye contact, kinda like someone who pulled a muscle in there neck.

[Renaud Galand]

I did a small test on this Quake3 model I'm doing for Warsow, to see how look with normal map. I'll probably give it a real try when I've the time.

[Vorge]

A little peice I started on last night, trying to go for a rougish character, giving him a lot of belts and packs and things for daggers, caltrops, and all that funny rogueish stuff. I freestyled the body, thus no head at the moment /images/graemlins/wink.gif still hard to do that without reference so whenever I get around to drawing a head I will be finishing it up. Then, on to texturing... whatcha all think so far?

Thanks guys, and good call on the ears, I'll have to do something about that.

[Etienne]

Again, working on my new UT2004 map... Here is a model of a decoration Japanese-ish sword. I will add textures to the sword VERY soon. I'm pretty happy with the model. I don't need it to have a high-poly count, because it will not be really seen when people are bz killing... heh heh ...

CnC if you wish.

Thank you. http://www.whiteink-studio.com/katanaWIP.jpg

It's railgun version 2.0 :X see if you can find the quake2 railgun hidden in the geometry somewhere! Basicly i wanted to do something somewhat original. The 2 things on the side are capacaters with a fusion cell on the side hehehe. And a clip of like... i duno i'm guessing 20 rounds max. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Here's some progress:

Things I've already fixed since taking this shot:
The guards on the front bumper aren't as wide.
The back wheel covers aren't as long.
The lights are less polys.

This is being made for HL2 specs (5-6k poly)

Hehehe i always loved that concept. Great work so far on the model adam. Looks great.

Sean, why are you making guns and wall textures when you want a job as a character artist? Its very nice work, but huh?

[Sean McBride]

haha yeah confusing for forum members. I'm mainly looking for a character artist position but I applied as a high poly enviro artist somewhere so i'm building up somewhat of a portfolio in that area to prove that i have the skills hehe.

[IanW]

Havoc77, Yeah I like Appleseed to, I just got to see the 3d film version today, not bad, but they need to go easy on the specular shaders.

The pictures are from a UT2004 mod I am working on called Union City Blue. It's influenced by a lot of Shirow stuff, Applseseed, Ghost in the shell and mainly Dominion Tank Police, but there is other stuff in there as well. When I've got the alpha finished (hopefully by next week) I'll make a site for it up (another couple of weeks I hope). The mod is primarily a class based 3rd person vehicle team combat game, round based with limited lives. The pictures above show 3 of the vehicles the human player classes uses (the orange tank thingy, the little blue 8 wheeled tank and the helicopter mech). The other 3 classes are cyborgs ...
http://www.btinternet.com/~gundam/BlueBorgsJPG.jpg
2 of these borgs are updated version of some player models I made a while ago, but now they are technically vehicles (as far as the code is concerned) and have there own individual weapon systems and can fly,jump and/or hover as well as walk.

omg IanW, those kick all kinds of ass. THe Dolphin is definitely the best. DOLPHIN MECH AHOY!!

Scott, are you planning on taking that into Zbrush? If so, I wouldn't bother so much with all that hard-edge definition of tendons and stuff, it'll just get messy and confusing in Zbrush, IMHO. You could get rid of a lot of the "detail-defining" edges there, just keep the main masses and muscle shapes, and paint everything else in Zbrush.

thanks for the feedback Kitteh, I've made one of the changes this evening, gonna work on the eyes over the weekend /images/graemlins/smile.gif quick progress shot:

http://chunkey.global-illusions.com/stuff/peterp~1.jpg

[dur23]

crash: pinch brush. Sorry my terminology is weak. Its in the transform panel above the smooth one. IT pulls some of those creases closer together.

[Justin_Meisse]

Vitor: Looks like you're using black to put shadows in your texture, it makes the skin look dirty. There's also too much shading in the texture, take a look at Shimmer's flats to get an idea of what to shoot for.

Here's what I've been working on, going for a mmorpg environmental model. Here's (http://us.games-workshop.com/games/warhammer/skaven/terrain/DotD_skaven_watchtower/default.htm) what it's based on.

http://www.artbyjustin.com/models/skaven/thumb_skaventower001.gif (http://www.artbyjustin.com/models/skaven/skaventower001.gif)

It's around 1200 polies, I'm going to redo the bell with less polygons, I figure the iron bands can be part of the texture.

[nealb4me]

Nice one Justin, I like it. I think you should cut the ends out of the two diagonal support beams where the hinge on the horizontal ones of the bell. It just looks a bit strange with the thick wooden beams intersecting eachother.

[PeteJ]

http://thebort.net/petej/stuff/toony_idol.jpg

havent done any work for ages and after chatting to chunkey for a while, the suggestion of laying down ideas with larger brushes and more opaque tones combined with a whirlwind of non alchy beer and billy idol came up with this doodle. only about 20mins work i suppose. feels weird using the wacom after 3 months of nothing.

[cholden]

Wanted to test out a character building technique, and happy with the results. The low poly model is ~2000 triangles. The color/spec maps are very temp, if I get around to it I'll finish this guy up.

[sinistergfx]

CHolden: and what technique would that be? Something special? Share! :P Looks really good for how quickly you built it up.

[cholden]

sinister: nothing too special. I modeled the low poly differently than I usually do. The high detail version I limited to test if maya's normal baking had problems with certain types of details. Basically learned it can handle anything, so the next character will be a bit more insane. I also wanted to tighten up my pipeline, and got that guy out the door just short of eight hours.

[Prs-Phil]

better than the first badname /images/graemlins/smile.gif

With the stones it looks much better.
The wear and tear still seems a bit random and on some parts not believable.

The specular is very strong. Try to turn it down a bit.

The wear and tear on the top also looks very random. Try to put some wear and tear on the inner part of the lid where it is more likley to be hit by garbage that people try to slamdunk in.
The sides of the innerpart deserve a bit more light so that they fit better to the "bottom" of it.

Keep it up /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[EarthQuake]

Yeah spec is way too strong there man. The little rocks have some great detail but i would run a sharpen on them to bring it out a little better, its reading as a bit blury to me, esp in the render. Do a fade sharpen at like 50% if it comes out too sharp =)

[StrangeFate]

its a small part of something big...

http://www.strangefate.com/portfolio/gargoyle2.jpg

I was about to say exactly the same, like in the movie "Labyrinth". Can't wait /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[KDR_11k]

The knocker ring looks a bit small, I doubt it'd reach the door. And usually there's a thicker part towards the bottom that acts as a weight, sometimes also a metal part on the door to prevent the knocker from damaging the wood.

[StrangeFate]

My bad i guess for not saying it: It's NOT a knocker!

It's gonna be a detail about twice the size of a human head.
Since its for ingame use, the hope would be that yes, other people would reuse it as knocker or fassade detail in whatever way they can.
Properly modeling the ring in whatever size and shape fits their needs would be their job.

FatAssasin, that is awesome.

[Joshua Stubbles]

Strangefate, Damien and FatAssasin - amazing work. Looks outstanding.

[perna]

FatAssasin, kickass hair

[KDR_11k]

Great work, FA. The face looks a bit dead ATM but I'm sure that'll go away when you're posing it.

And do I have a wrong understanding of anatomy or is the head a bit too long (front-back)?

[okkun]

Got one subdivision left as soon as I get my second memory stick back.. Sean, I don't see your webpage updated yet. Get on it!

http://www.okkun.net/puppywip.jpg

[Sean McBride]

Joakim, Hot! You're really pushing yourself in zbrush i'm loving it. Thats one nasty looking beast. I know the webpage isn't updated yet. I wanted to update it with some new content all at the same time but i seem to be having a hard time comming up with anything lately.

How'd you start on this one? Zspheres or a cage from max?

[okkun]

It's a cage in max, I can never get those spheres working.

Like I said put your props up. I think you'll have a hard time breaking in somewhere if you limit yourself to characters.

start a thread man, show us how much hair u have on your chest, etc. :?

[Daz]

I like it FatAssasin apart from one little thing: that looks to be a pretty vast distance there between ear and front of face in profile.

Looking good okkun!

playing around with zbrush. some of you may remember this model from awhile ago. plan on doing a whole zbrush pass on the body also. give the rest the quality it so rightly deserves.

I'm still getting the hang of things, not over defining things and whatnot. Still got lots of work to do on the torso and arms.

[Vitor]

I'm trying to improve myself on heads. This one's polycount got a bit higher than expected (around 2200 tris) but it might do it for the next generation hehe. I also modeled the interior of the mouth, teeth and so to try to do some facial animations. But what is the best way to do them to be used in a game: morph targets or build a facial bone structure?

I'll start skining it now

http://img373.imageshack.us/img373/9494/haoh016ns.jpg
this is a very wip mech of haohmaru. For those of you who dont know, he is from samurai showdown. on the left is the low poly and the smoothed version(only once though). I would like to do a normal map for him, but i dont know...

[MightyPea]

Tsk tsk, jerome, it's shodown
tsk tsk.

Also, his torso appears to be somewhat flat, front-to-back. Hoahmaru has a rather bulky torso, so maybe you should elevate some bits. Also, and this is related to the flatness: his ribcage seems very wrong, as if it's made out of muscle instead of an actual cage of bone. Just try to overlay some anatomical references onto him.

shimmer: i love this, it's the perfect merge between lowpoly (q1-esque, almost) and the new technology. Seeing all that detail crammed into such a boxy, bulky profile makes me happy /images/graemlins/smile.gif
I like how his flesh seems to bunch up at his chin/jawline as well, it's really cool.

Right now in texturing stage.

[Jerome]

yes, i argee he is flat, i do plan to add more detail into him. Can you get me some good upper body refs? i could also use some of his back. and his torso seems too narrow, but that is due to the fact that he has no shoulders yet...

[Justin_Meisse]

cool character design, Crylar!

[MightyPea]

i really couldn't get you any good refs, but if you come across some concept art for him or something, send it my way!
You might want to check out the (positively terrible, or so i hear) 3d samurai shodown game for the playstation for some better views of him. I seem to remember that also LOOKED terrible though, so maybe you're better off just never having seen it, heh.

woha long time no posts, and first time in that thread !!! /images/graemlins/smile.gif

there are some amazing work in there /images/graemlins/smile.gif

ok so a quick skin shader test...I'll try to work on this one in my spare time, good to get some shader stuff done, kinda relaxing...

it still needs a LOT of work (transluscence and stuff) I'd certainly need the advice of the SSS gurus 'round here /images/graemlins/smile.gif

http://wip.global-illusions.com/speed/skinshader.jpg

only one light, maya standard renderer, I want to keep that shader working without any plugin.

good to post something btw /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Jerome]

hey mightypea: i do have a ref from a samurai shodown art book(it appears) and a ref of his sword. btw, i must have like a million refs of him and a lot of other characters from street fighter and soo much other stuff /images/graemlins/smile.gif!

Massive list almost all of the characters. Great reference shots.

[Jerome]

yeah, i got the haohmaru ref from there

i think a new samurai shodown game needs to be made, but up to today's limits. Just no skanky girls(ex Ivy) as there are sooo many games that have em it would just ruin it! Maybe i will make one.

[Rhinokey]

http://mojo2k.com/crapodile05.jpg got a new cintiq (most awesome invention EVAR) and using it to finaly learn ZBrush zbrush is so much funner when you can sculpt right on the model, makes it seem more "connected"

[KDR_11k]

Vahl: That doesn't look like skin yet, you need to have the transition between lit and dark more saturated. For some reason the "terminator" (as they call it) is around the edge of the object instead the edge of the highlight with your shader.

http://eliheuer.com/2d/conceptart/BrainStealer.jpg

<u> Brain Stealer: </u> The brain stealer is an obsessive collector. He lives in a cave deep below suburbia where he has stockpiled millions of human brains. He has organized them into piles alphabetically depending on the last name of the human it was stolen from, keeping these piles orderly is his one true love and he spends countless hours checking to make sure all the right brains are in the correct piles. Monsters travel from all over the underworld to view his collection. Rumor has it that when all the tourists are gone for the day he curls up into a ball and rolls down each pile screaming “ I feel so alive”

Im not so sure about the cable-mess you've got on the gun, but since it doesnt show up too strongly in the view, its acceptable I suppose.

That's because this entire gun is simple in shape and has less modelled details - thus more room for other stuff on the maps.

ironbear: a 1024 normal for such little detail seems a bit excessive imo. Lowpoly looks nice btw. maby a few more segments around the joints?

Texture is on the way! Aesir, I think the arms on that guy may be too thin or the torso too long? Crash, i'm gonna throw a rig on her now and try a 512 map. I haven't really unwrapped her yet, I just used auto-unwrap temporarily, and Ben's Normal Mapping in Max7 tutorial really helped me out.

[MoP]

Cool face Shimmer, has a lot of character already, which is always a great thing to see in a lowpoly mesh!

TGZ: Looks fairly good, but I'd lose that purple light (where's it coming from!?), and also the stone texture is really obviously tiling on the wood-separated panels at the bottom there. Just offset it a bit on each one and it'd be fine.

[Ramucho]

TGZ: the execution is very nice but i think it could use a lil bit of work on the design, try adding a couple of flower pots and other props on the scene /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Hey thanks Badname /images/graemlins/smile.gif I did a small tutorial some weeks ago, but it's based on contract work so I have to wait another year until I can post it /images/graemlins/confused.gif

I just finished this one. I'm not sure about the skinned shadow on the front of the car, but I think it may be subtle enough to work ingame. The windows are shaderbased which can be turned off ingame. Mabye I'll add some geometry for high end pc settings.

I found most of my work with my high poly heads is figuring out where to place the "stars" (where either three or five edges come from a single vert) So this is my new base mesh. 100% quads, and the rings all work in a way that I can easily add detail localy without it traveling to a completely unrelated portion of the mesh.

Linked because of size.

Lookin good poop. I think he's missing somewhat of an upper eyelid though. /images/graemlins/smile.gif If you threw that in there and defined the lower eyelid a little more i think it would help him stand out a bit more.

I'm basically trying to keep it super low poly to the point I could use this for anything, including an asian man/woman. Also the sparser the mesh, the easier it is to morph it, at which point I would then add the uper and lower folds. I agree though, he definately needs an upper eyelid fold should I flesh it out more.

butterflies!
pair of split quads so the things actually 'flap their wings' with the help of an animated alpha map.

rogue gave me a good crit about having the butterflies flapping individually, but seeing how UT instances things, that'd require creating multiple instances of the same assets in the texture AND mesh browsers, which is not what I want to do with these assets.

@Flaagan:
Any reference to CowboyBeepob the Movie with those Butterflies? Because they look exactly the same.

But stuff like that is what makes maps really shine, great work /images/graemlins/wink.gif
