a gold star to the first person who can guess what this is going to be (WIP)

[y00tz]

I think it's reminiscent of the soldier from TF2 ^^

[MAUL0r]

rofl, well it's gonna be a prop for tf2... so close!

maybe this will help:

still very WIP

[Target_Renegade]

thanks Vig, will look into making it neater. cheers, East, I'm really thinking about buying that DVD - I think I remember seeing someone modelling really detailed stone steps and learnt from that.

is that the gold statue from the start of Raiders of the Lost Ark?

[Joseph Silverman]

Eyes are high and wide. Mouth shapes are wrong, and mouth is a bit low -- 'ideal' measurements are:

Upper end of eyes halfway down the head.

Bottom of nose halfway between there and the bottom of the chin.

Mouth 1/3rd of the way down from the nose.

Looking cool, anyway, i like how you handled the forms on the cheeks and around the mouth.

Cool head ekman, welcome to polycount. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

This is my first model i am actually pretty proud of
My low poly head...well, ya, sorta low poly head.
The image tag isn't working for me, so here are the links...

Smoothed version
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj173/Wej00/head_high_poly.jpg?t=1204076402

The high poly still needs work (ears, chin, lips, hear, textures) but i am going to do the rest of the body before i do the major details. He is going to be a computer nerd for a HL2 mod i am making. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

darth.perry, you'll need to host that somewhere else, since the place you're linking from doesn't allow hotlinking. Nobody can see your image. Try uploading to a place like Imageshack or Photobucket.

[darth.perry]

Thanks MOP,i has change another link,Can you please tell me does it works?

Yep, works now, looks cool ... but isn't he... missing something? /images/graemlins/wink.gif

[FAT_CAP]

Ruz and Darth. Perry - those are both looking GREAT!

Darth - the head may be slightly too small and the lower leg/ calf looks too small aswell compared to the thighs? It could just be the perspective though I can't really tell.

[Davision3D]

I released a Beta of my UT3Bunny:
http://www.daxx-web.de/bilder/bunny_ut2.jpg

Download (http://files.filefront.com/Bunny+Beta+085zip/;9728328;/fileinfo.html)

The Bunny is in his own family but still in the Krall Faction. I made a custom Material with fancy stuff like transmission, fresnel and animated emissive effects.

The tank content is animated, you can see the juice going through his veins and some lights are blinking. The Transmission effect lets you see bright light going through the skin and scattering in a red color. The fresnel shadeing is mainly seeable at the metal parts. Patch2 made the custom material and custom family possible but there are still some barriers that made it hard to get this effects.

I will make a custom faction with a own room and a Custom FPV arm once i figure out how to do it.

Sculpture-

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

I sculpted it out of waterclay, and is life sized, then casted it in Polyester Resin (nasty stuff by the way. I'm actually going to repaint it, or at least paint more on it, as I hate the overly pink skin tone, and the wood on the top (yes that is supposed to look like wood on top) is a little shoddy and I want to paint in the rings you'd normally see on wood.

[seantree]

Very nice Neo. I have yet to tackle any 1:1 scale stuff but have plans to do so soon. Keep postin progress pics. I'd like to see how it turns out.

[Neo_God]

It's funny, it's 1:1 scale, however it doesn't seem that big, when you break things down like this you realize how small parts of the human body are. It's light as hell because it's fiberglass,although I may fill with expanding polyurethane foam to give it more weight, because some ass clown tipped it over and cracked it (it's all good I patched it right away).

When I have more cash and skill, I want to attempt a full body.But that'll probably be in a year or 2.

It's obvious that one of my idols is Ron Mueck, and I am constantly astound by the work he does, and the dedication he puts into it.

[Cojax]

Davision3D - that looks awesome man great job. I think this is the first custom UT chr I have added to my UT3 haha. Nice work.

[seantree]

Hope I'm not cloggin the thread but I was wondering what you thought of working with fiberglass Neo. I plan on using it for my 1:1 stuff also. Anything I should be prepared for?

[Cody]

Take that VA! Beat you to it.
http://www.codywright.com/images/random/lowpoly.gif

[Neo_God]

seantree, it's actually very easy to work with fiber glass, granted, I used polyester resin (bondo to be exact) which is extremely uhealthy, it can give you liver cancer, Polyurethane resin is much safer, Polytek makes a great array of resins, I've heard good things about polyflo 60 and poly 15-6, I used bondo resin just because of cost I could get a gallon for $37, while the polytek brands mostly go for at least $100 for 2 pints. Though I will worn you, the glass mat can be quite iffy, I mean, I got several glass fibers in my skin, and it's pretty much a glass splinter it sucks.

[Sage]

I finished this tonight, I needed to do something fun and different, and practice texturing. /images/graemlins/wink.gif p 51 mustang 100 tris 64x64 texture. Let me know what you think.

[Dusty]

Pretty good pixels.

[Tumerboy]

good pixels I agree, though it seems like a lot of the texture space is wasted with 2 extra copies of the wing? or is there a purpose/difference I can't see?

[Davision3D]

@ Cojax
Sadly, there are not much Custom Chars to choose from yet


Where are all the Polycount UT3 Chars? I hope some of the DW3 entries will make it in the game.

lol Cody that's awesome! /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Rens]

great sculpt neo, i also need to do some 1:1, but let me get something smaller right before i start going big /images/graemlins/wink.gif

do you use an airbrush to paint it? i still need to get me one of those

[pliang]

Lol...that's a lot of details for a 64 by 64...

[Sage]

Thanks for the feedback. Looking back on the uv layout it seems pointless to give the top portion of the wing separate uv space considering how big it would look on screen. I'll be adding some more details to it and probably fix the uvs since it would allow me sharper decals on the wing. The problem with that is I don't have enough pixels for the decals on the body of the plane. I guess I can use a poly for that. Hmm. That's whay I did what I did I wanted to keep the texture space consistent across the board. Also i wasn't sure how I would paint the plane, with camo or another color. If I was going to do camo on the top portion I like to give the top of the wings unique uvs to paint different patterns. I always disliked how the camo lookes when it's mirrored.

Alex

[Sage]

I did an update to the texture, I'm calling it done. Pretty happy with it. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

http://apsentertainment.com/previews/p51_m02.jpg

Alex

[StJoris]

I think it will help to focus more on the bigger forms first, and the details later. I like the wing stripes, but the side lose it's shape to noisyness. The model will probably be seen very tiny, so you could question wether you would distinguish the tiny details vs visual noise.

That said it's a cool start, you can show it raw though, without AA.

[Sage]

St Joris do you think the shading is too soft? I was looking at your avatar and it made me wonder.

I turned AA off, filter maps, mip mappping all samplers. Did I miss anything? I'm wondering cause the image now doesn't look that different. /images/graemlins/wink.gif I also rendered out the wires. Let me know hat you think. Thanks.

[Tumerboy]

Sage, that's cool (about the UV layout for camo) as long as there was a reason for it (and that's a perfectly valid one) I was just going off what we see here, which seemed like a waste.

Good work though!

That is a tasty SCAR. : ) Love the detail on the sight.

[Sage]

I tried pushing the shading further and fixed a few things I didn't like. Here it is. Thanks for the feedback. Tummerboy your comment was valid, and I don't mind, it's not like your going to hurt my feelings. I post to get feedback, so I can learn and improve. So let me know what you think and thanks. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

did it pretty quick tonight, so it's not as purdy or refined as yours. I'll probably tweak it some more tomorrow.

[Sage]

That kicks ass man. I was thinking of cutting up the main body similar to what you did for the uvs. I'll have to give that a go. /images/graemlins/wink.gif I'm working on a DS lamborghini right now, but will be making a spitfire after that.

Alex

http://apsentertainment.com/previews/lp_500_02.jpg

[Ruz]

AdamBrome - thats a great start. did you have to model all the chain links though?
could n't you do one , then bake it to a poly plane or polyplanes then copy and paste that instead. just a thought, I am no environmental guy:)

[adam]

I generally do them as single quads per chain link but only if the amount of links is small. For this scene it's a large amount, which would cost a huge amount in overdraw since each plane would have an opacity and opted to go for more triangles and no opacity.

Since the player in this little project of mine can get right up close to -everything- you can see in screenshots I believe the chains should be more than a single quad so that the 3D shape of each link can be seen from all angles.

=)

[Ruz]

ok thanks for clearing that up. so would you make a section of fence with links a then instance?

[adam]

For a fence I'd likely do a plane with a nice texture on it then mix in some 3D elements (signage, poles, etc) so it's not so flat.

Fence is a bit different than chains, IMO.

[Ruz]

hmm almost tempted to have a go at some environment stuff. anyway nice piece so far. looking forward to the texures

(anyone know how to tone down the normal shading in UE3? I had a proper normal map done from zBrush, but the shading was too black so I ended up having to do an nvidia filter one which doesnt really show off too much skill. I played with material editor a little bit but to no avail. Help!)

Everything in the background is a copy of the foreground, just rotated. I find doing this helps visualize what the end project will look like, even if I end up not using this setup exactly.

East , thats coming along nice. Did you use displacements for the seams?

[/ QUOTE ]
Thanks, Ruz. Which seams to you refer to? I normally make seams as uncomplicated as possible with a simple alpha, and the layer tool with Freehand and (sometimes) Roll activated combined with LazyMouse just to give the gesture of a seam.

SupRore, you're making great progress on the head there, his features are definitely coming to life. Clay Tubes are good to use to build up volume. Oftentimes you get the best results by adopting traditional sculpting techniques /images/graemlins/smile.gif

We are still working on our machinima series. Ironing out the technical stuff still but we are putting together an excellent storyline and some really good episodes. Hopefully we will do the community right. I have posted some 3D renders of some various models in action. All of these will be sucked back into UE3 for the movie. cheers!

[Vailias]

maestro: The animation is pretty smooth and nice, but the vehicles look like RC cars. They bounce way too much, and even the one scene that hints the hellbender has mass (where it banks a lot when coming around a curve) is then shot to hell by how springy it is.

edit: ahh so it is stock mocap. well good of you to make use of what you have available. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Saidin311]

Adam, that scene is badass. I have a question about the 2 buildings at the end of the pier. (the 2 buildings in the second picture on your first post).

How much floating geometry (if any) are on those buildings? And when constructing buildings like this is there any benefit to making everything one object? Or using floating geo?

I'm trying to come up with a workflow for large structure architecture, and things like dormers and window trims I find I can wrap my head around them when they are floating seperate pieces as opposed to always having to cut out triangles and then turn them into rounds. (ie how to get a decent proper looking curve from just a cut)

I guess thats multiple questions!

[maestro]

Vailias - i should watch some videos of monster trucks then. I thought the corner scene was good. But I see what you mean now how soft it is after the corner. Thanks for your comment, I'll work on adjusting it.

[adam]

Saidin311: Thanks /images/graemlins/smile.gif I am not quite sure which building you're asking about, but what I do know is there is no simple answer for this.

In todays game geometric data (triangles) haven't as much impact on a system as other major contributors, like texture memory.

However, I can say that if details are going to be cut in to a scene geometrically, those details will remain a part of the same object whenever they extrude IN to the mass (subtractive) and that I will try and have separate 'floating' pieces whenever the detail extrudes out (additive) from the piece.

This isn't any sort of golden rule, but its something I tend to go by. (For character art its a whole different ball game.) Sometimes its required that you do not extrude the details in and just have them be apart of the texture (for example, window on a brick wall) but for this instance we'll not be doing that.

is the asymetry intentional or did you just forget some of the little bars on the sides of the doors?

Nice either way.

[Saidin311]

Cool model Jesse, I'm not too sure if the asymetry is throwing me off or whether it adds to the coolness. I'm curious how you modeled those spirals. Did you just twist an extruded cylinder?

[JordanW]

Imslightlybored -> I would give a better presentation of the final result, it's hard to tell how effective your normal maps/specular maps are. Put them on an object in a scene with some lighting to show off how well they can pop. Is the top left biggest image just the diffuse or all maps combined? you should label the maps.

[Jesse Moody]

Thanks guys. Actually I'm trying to decide to keep those pieces or not. Should have asked in my post but it was late and I was half out of it.

I am thinking that I like them so they will probably stay and I will add them in to the rest.

3dsmax patch goodness with normal map:)

[EarthQuake]

Darth.perry: Try using lighttracer with your skylight instead of standard radiosity, it should be much much faster, and try turning down the samples a bit too.

Texture looks quite nice, but the scaley arm seems to lack any real form, it just has fine details.

[rooster]

sweet stuff ruz! in that last one, I wonder if you could spare a few polys making the ears less flat

[Ruz]

could n't do that rooster.
each vertex was accounted for and since its a patch model, adding more patches just messes up the flow or introduces evil tris and patch tris are truly evil.

unfortunatley I can't go in to too much detail:)

lokking nice Ged . left thigh and the boot shapes seem slightly off.
feet seem like they are facing the wrong way somehow

Thanks for the replies everyone.


Cleaned up and refined a lot of anatomy on the character, especially the face. I actually wasn't intending to make the character look creepy that was just the result of a bunch of silly anatomy errors on my part. /images/graemlins/blush.gif

[East]

adamlewis, technically it's a very competent piece of work. Although anatomically it all really depends on where you are going with it. Right now she looks a bit underdeveloped and malnourished, like someone who's been suffering from anorexia for years at a young age and as a result hasn't developed properly. Except for the tits. There's a strange mix of a child's features, and a woman's features. Giving her wider and fuller hips would probably help.

Her upper arms strike me as a bit odd, but I can't place my finger on it. It's almost as if she doesn't have any biceps, but instead what we see is the humerus bone showing through her skin, giving it the shape. On the other hand, the upper arm could be right, and it's the forearms and hands that are a bit oversized.

And finally the ear is a bit odd. Ears are individual, but they mostly follow a comparable set of lines across all people. If you put her ear next to a photograph of a real one, I think you will quickly see the tweaks that need to be done /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Overall, I think the sculpt is very good technique-wise, it's just the anatomy that feels a bit off somehow. How about a look at her from behind?

[adamlewis]

Thank you for the extensive crits East, I pretty much agree with everything you said. I'm going to spend a lot of time carefully addressing the issues you pointed out and hopefully I'll have something better to show a bit later.

[movento]

Some quick sculpt i did,using my basemodel.
http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/8724/baldmaleax8.jpg

[MightyPea]

Adamlewis: if you weren't going for something stylised, then I'd revise, but if that was your intention: You're doing a fantastic job. I love the face, the awkward body, the thin upper arms and just her overal angularity. It's the furthest from an attractive body I can imagine, but it works wonderfully.
Firestarter: I love the shapes of that! Good going on the asymmetry, as well. It's a last step for most people, and I'm guilty of just forgetting about it altogether about 100% of the time.

[Ruz]

swords are cool chai, you have indeed made a lot of swords:)
adamlewis - I like the style as it is. maybe you were going for full on realism , but I like that anyway

http://mikerusby.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/nakedguy.jpg

Did this texture in a day. still WIP but its coming out like I planned for a change.
http://mikerusby.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/malewhite_diffuse.jpg
oops should have posted the diffuse previously.
The challenge here is to make the character look just as good without the normal map.
somehow I will be baking the normal map deatil in to the diffuse and do a second more painterly diffuse texture.

[MoP]

Poor eunuch!
Looks good tho.

Darth- that character is SUPER awesome. AAA work! (except the snake hand) I`d say just symmetry the other arm over. Right now that arm is killing it and it looks like he`s got some sort of weird sock puppet on his arm. You should either put a big heap of extra love into the creature hand, or axe it all together. Just my 2cents.

Tyler: I Def like the white

Dang Darth, those armpits are HOT! very nicely done. I agree with konstruct about the snake hand. Unless it gets some hot normal map that makes it work, its bringing the character down.

that's ace firestarter. you could export the low poly to max , uv then you can actualy bake it in zbrush even if the models are not the same by capturing a mesh and projecting.

yeah i think my model need more loops, its less than 4000 polys right now.

[Richard Kain]

Ugh...very busy with non-3D projects recently. Still looking for employment, primarily. Thankfully enough, I have found the time to work on my Flash 3D model viewer.
Here's the current progress.

http://www.willhawthorne.com/ModelViewer/viewer_example.png

And here's a link to a functional example. Click Here For Example (http://www.willhawthorne.com/ModelViewer/viewer_example.html)

I finally have my own webhosting now, as well. So no worries on bandwidth or broken links. (finally, I should have purchased that hosting years ago) I'll post a download version of the viewer in its actual thread a little later tonight. I'd love for some of you polycounters to play around with it and tell me what needs changing.

[Armanguy]

What can you actually do with that app? what can i import just a 3d model with diffuse? or can i get go diffuse,spec and normals?

[Richard Kain]

Patience, Armanguy, patience. All things come to those who wait. Part of the reason that its taken me a little longer to get this app running is that I had to upgrade to the latest version of the 3D engine I was working with mid-way. And the new version has several shaders that the old version didn't support. So yes, there will be a lit version coming up. However, you can forget normal mapping. This is flash, which is extremely CPU limited. You aren't going to be getting stellar 3D performance out of this anytime soon. An advanced shader like normal mapping just isn't in the cards.

At the moment, you can use this flash player to load any ASE, 3DS, or DAE model that you have uploaded to the internet, along with whatever skin you've uploaded to the internet. The model and texture are both loaded dynamically. You can tweak several of the specifics of the viewer yourself, allowing you to readjust the angle you are looking at the model from, the speed at which it rotates and zooms out, the limits to which it will zoom in and out, and even readjust the height of the model's origin.

[Ruz]

cheers for that crit vitor, the arms were a bit short in the upper arm:)

[adamlewis]

Did more work on the study. Fixed a lot of the awful stuff going on around the arms/torso area.


http://www.adamvfx.com/femaleanatomy32.jpg

[Joseph Silverman]

The shoulders seem really narrow, right now. Makes the head look really unnatural. I think the whole upper body is squashed horizontally.

[Sa74n]

hey richard.. the flash viewer works great. it would be really awesome though if you could just grab the model and rotate by moving the mouse left/right. buttons to turn the model arent very comfortable you see /images/graemlins/smile.gif maybe replace the zoom buttons with magnifier icons? just to make it look a bit more sleek /images/graemlins/smile.gif

how can i try it out with my own files?

[Mark Dygert]

Thanks guys. Ruz that was done in max using the Hair/Fur modifier (previously known as Shave and a Haircut) and renders in a few seconds. Because its a sheep I can use thicker strands with fewer segments. I'll take a screen grab of the settings if you're interested in trying them out on your sheep.
I made a cut length map (simple B/W map) which is why it looks so poofy, too much white not enough gray variation, easy fix tho. I also used the defuse for the strand tip/root color. From beginning to finished render it was about 4hrs broken up over two days. Unwrapping and painting the defuse took the longest, the hair/fur was a snap.

[Ruz]

cheers vig I will have a look at the fur stuff in max after I its actaully a rework of a sheep a made for a UT mod back in 2002 called 'pearman'.
the sheep was an exploding foot and mouth sheep:)

I like the turquoise accents. Effective way of adding color. Nice Work!

This would be my first attempt at an art piece..

It's based on this picture http://www.instablogsimages.com/images/2007/10/29/kylie-minogue_279.jpg

I know the likeness isn't really there, but that's okay.. I was more into this for getting a try at shading/lighting

toki, I'm not sure if I understand you correctly. Are you referring to some anatomical issue, or just the overall appearance of the character?

No anitomical issue /images/graemlins/smile.gif I was just making a (stupid) comment about if the chick in your ref looks scary. It was my bad attempt at a joke.

Hey, the latest tweaks are a great improvement! Might be good to get a look at her back and side also.

HAHA! Knew this was coming.

Jokes aside, it looks really nice. But I don't get the creases in the skin near the abs. Looks like he's wearing a really fitted t-shirt or something.

buddy the designer, you haunt me.
PolyHertz, sculpted in that pose as I had it in mind when I build the basemesh.

Tried a few techniques on the hair, but nothing that I'm happy with so.. I dunno. Might not end up as Blanka now.

started on a feng zhu concept today which needs to be done by friday for a showreel.

Bad times. They're only fringe details though so should hold up, and they were purely box modelled.

Edit:
Quick question when working to a concept as an environment artist.
Do I just follow it verbatim? I see opportunitys to add in small details or add in some wear, but I'm cautious it'll seem like I can't follow concepts.

Also, Feng Zhu craftily obscured the doorway in his art. This is up to me to fill in the blanks, right?

[Joseph Silverman]

feel free to embellish a little, 2d =/= 3d and it makes sense to add little details where needed. Just don't lose the spirit and major forms of the concept.

And yeah, fill in the blanks. /images/graemlins/smile.gif
