somthing old and unfinished, figured i'd post it anyways.

[StJoris]

Damn those are quite hot drillerkiller!

[oobersli]

driller - looks bad ass, but wouldn't this thing run out of ammo fairly quick with every inch containing some sort of ammunition greedy contraption? /images/graemlins/laugh.gif cool tho

[Uly]

awwww badass driller

[Cody]

Looks like that boxer got tore up by that tank. /images/graemlins/smile.gif Both are cool models.

[hobodactyl]

Driller that's an awesome design and nice texturing!

[Ruz]

Slainean -,love the expression.
nice topo demoncage
TWilson - very nice model, tex needs a bit of work though as others have mentioned

[CaptainCock]

oh wow I really love that design DrillerKiller.
Care to share the concept ?

[perna]

Well fuck me. DrillerKiller, that's like the coolest tank design I've ever seen.

[tokidokizenzen]

DrillerKiller, Awesome.
Sorry if you're not taking crits since you say it's not finished - Overall the textures are monochromatic.

[DrillerKiller]

hey thanks a lot you guys, i guess should get off my ass and finish it!!

[LoTekK]

Drillerkiller, that is one awesome tank. I for damn sure wouldn't want to be in its path /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Rushed this out for my folio end of last year, but decided to go back and do some touchup (also added a spec map)

thats a pretty good likeness, but I think you add some more dynamic poses!

[TWilson]

Still working away on this guy when I get a minute here and there.

Things he needs: Eye lashes, beard fuzz, hair plane fixes, HAT everything, face specular...what else?

coming along nice, wilson
makes me think of "legend of the fall"

[Ruz]

think mr pitt needs more colour variation in the face. he looks a little monochrome right now. looking good though

[darth.perry]

TWilson:cool face!Great works!
only have one advice,if the mustache have no normalsmap,it looks better:)

[t4paN]

I'm doing this for my final year project at uni. I'm gonna have to fix the jagged normal map edges right now..

/edit head is around 900 tris

[adam]

Been getting in to photography quite a bit lately, mainly to
focus on scene composition. Also watching a number of movies to get some ideas.


Annnyhoo, here's some results of that. Without getting in to details the scene is made for story telling with a character in a series of pictures. I wish I could draw worth a damn, if I could I'd sketch in the character rather than give lame descriptions.

00 - Was thinking loading screen
01 - character on one of the perches, over looking the city
02 - heading to his target to make the assassination
03 - the character would be on the roof that is in the foreground, but he'd be looking downward towards the ground, focusing on a pair of characters
04 - and just for shits & giggles to show portion of the scene

[perna]

Adam, awesome. Love the first one

[Mark Dygert]

Agreed, the first one is great, nice work! I'm really starting to like your camera work and you're starting to turn me around on the whole DOF thing.

[Xenobond]

1st one, yes. Good composition, although almmost 50/50 split between sky/earth. Runs straight from top left to lower right.

2nd one, not so much. You put a guy on any of those tops, then he's right in the middle of the picture. I'd recommend to pan over to the right, so he is off on the left side and you can see more of the city.

3rd one, kind of a weird angle/fov. Maybe pull it down so that it is as if taken at normal eye level?

4th one, you've got the scene broken in half. Eek! 2 smokestacks on the left foreground, two on the right.

5th one, alot of nothing going on here. Might be able to get some nice looking patterns depending on the time of day, but there isn't much happening design wise. Even if you stuck a close up of some guy lookiny out at the city, you couldn't really tell what he could be looking at, thinking of, or much of anything.

[Tumerboy]

Adam looking good, the one thing that caught my attention was that you're using a long lens in each of those shots. You might want to switch it up some and try some with wider angle shots and less DOF blur?

just a thought.

[MoP]

drillerkiller: cool tank /images/graemlins/smile.gif

adambrome: first shot is cool, but i agree with xenobond on the other 4, they're pretty boring and not very well framed.

[ImSlightlyBored]

http://img111.imageshack.us/img111/8720/lolch1.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

love the way unreal ed makes things look better than they are. It's all textured and done, just gotta split it in to mat groups. I'm doing it a bad way, I know, but its just for rendering.

Concept by Feng Zhu

[adam]

Oi - good foodback Xenobond. I'm going to attempt your suggestions. the type of game i was thinking it'd be for works with a lot of "BSG" akward-quick-zoom camera movements but I agree with your ideas more

will try and have more open later in the weekend

owowow

[Renaud Galand]

A little freestyle from the "mudboxheadbasemesh" I did yesterday during lunch time. I'll maybe make a next-gen bust of it, don't know.

http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q48/Guntharf/fishy_birdy02.jpg

[Joseph Silverman]

Renaud, that's awesome -- forms around the side of the face are really cool.

I haven't really done anything interesting lately, some generic bodybuilder sort of doodling:

http://i28.tinypic.com/5xvoer.jpg

anatomy is pretty messed up everywhere, eh.

edit: Arsh's base, of course, which i'm sure most of you could see from a glance.

[flatHead]

http://users.telenet.be/flathead/storage/signal_amp.jpg

Bit of level geometry for a school project I'm working on. Baked lighting is delicious.

(Skybox&Sky Tex (c) Epic games)
So this is done sans photoshop smoke adding in. For future reference, how the hell do you do any decent foliage in UE3 considering it hates alphas? And how do I build NICE shadows - in the second image (Realtime viewport) I had the hammers casting shadows on the floor, but when I hit BUILD they disappear? What am I missing here?

Ho hum time to start the next project

[JDinges]

-UE3 doesn't hate alphas.

-Nice shadows have everything to do with light map resolution.

-Create a light map for the model and give it a decent res.

[CheeseOnToast]

AdamBrome : great stuff man, the depth-of-field stuff and camera angles alone are already making it start to look cinematic. UV map hell ahead though, right?

Renaud : very nice and "swooshy". Texture that sucker please.

http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m58/CheeseOnToast13/vampHead.gif

Vampire character I'm making for a mod of the excellent indie game Mount and Blade (http://www.taleworlds.com/). Ignore the hairline, its just there as a guide.

[Joseph Silverman]

That's cool, cheeseontoast. A mod that overhauled the rest of M&B's art would be awesome, the game is brilliant but the team doesn't really seem to have the resources to make it look all that great.

eh, dont like posting the same thing twice in one night, but i didn't think i'd work anymore on this guy... Will probably refine the face or start throwing some gear on him soon, probably going to cover the legs and most of the arms, which aren't really anywhere near done. Arsh's base!

http://i25.tinypic.com/2elsavr.jpg

[Slingshot]

-AdamBrome
that inviroment rocks but I expect nothing less from you.

-Renaud Galand
Yes do the rest of the body looks nice so far,

Meshflow partially based on Arsh's base man.

It's supposed to become a playermodel for an open-source MP-FPS based in a post apocalyptic setting (using the Sauerbraten engine with it's new md5 support /images/graemlins/wink.gif Still pretty much a pipedream so far however).

[vahl]

looks like a kid, shortlegged or big head, IMO

[JKMakowka]

Big helmet and baggy pants (ABC suit), but I will have another look at it, thx.

[MoP]

Waist seems too narrow for a grown man, and while the helmet does increase the percieved size of the head, I think your guy's head is still too big. Hell, even if it's 100% anatomically correct, it still looks a bit weird /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[t4paN]

Holy fucking shit, I had no idea how time consuming normal maps are. This is my first one, 3ds max + zbrush3. It took me the whole day to fix the little things in photoshop, if anyone knows of any in-depth tutorials on using the cage (other than poop's) I'd appreciate it!

Hopefully it isn't, I drew the concepts for that myself, but if you find the one that you think looks like it, I'd like to see it too. It is loosely based on a triceratops though, so maybe that's what you have in mind?

This can be done with an ink and paint shader in max, like cell shading but with realistic textures. That's what I think anyway.

[commander_keen]

Thanks guys. Hey Tumerboy, hope to see you there. The outlines were done with the InkAndPaint shader in max, but they were rendered separately in a cleaned up scene and were also cleaned up in photoshop because some of the lines were blocking highlights and that sort of thing.

[IronHawk]

good luck with the interview Keen! Nice job on the alley.

Hey keen, looks really nice, the colors work well.

Hmm, it looks a bit too generic in gameplay for my taste... however the blast effect to push away shots is sweet.
The overall idea with the atoms and such seems like a cool concept too.

Edit: maybe extent the atom idea with some fusion /fission ideas? For example build up energy to fuse with an enemy to become a new type of atom with different features, but if you fuse to much you become unstable and prone to fission (with good or bad effects)?
Or you could attract additional electrons into your orbit which alter your "reactivity".... nutrons and positrons could also be used for some unique ideas /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Change Notes
- 2 new Bunnys, the green Jazz Jackrabbit that come with a bandana and a cigar and the Easter bunny that changes his colors.
- Added First Person View arms
- Rigged the ears, they are slightly animated now
- Improved Materials and Textures
- Added headstump for Headshot animation
- Added preview pics
- Added AI Data

pfft, you could finish this in a single day if you had to vitor.

I really like it by the way. I feel like you shuold model him a sidekick after the comp is over.

The coracobrachialis? The placement should possibly be higher in the pec and not so far out into the bicep...obviously I've exaggerated things massively for this peice. No idea how to do the hair. Tried modelling poly strands for it...nightmare, and looked dire.

Vitor, that looks fantastic.

'spose posting scripts for an animated miniseries is beyond the scope of the site /images/graemlins/confused.gif /images/graemlins/crazy.gif I have no art or 3d stuff done in the last 3 months /images/graemlins/ooo.gif it makes baby jesus cry. but seems like everyone else is doing awesome stuff as usual /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Super: Looks awesome, have a look at this PDF (http://www3.sympatico.ca/psykopat/downloads/Mustache_Tutorial.pdf) tho it might be useless if you dont have 3d max.

P.S.: if you find .pdf files annoying, i suggest you download foxit pdf reader, unlike adobe it's compact and fast.

[garriola83]

i reworked another of my character
http://www.digi-wingz.com/milla_render_01.jpg

[timwiese]

looks pretty sweet gene, makes me want to start modeling some female characters I'm tired of looking at the half naked men I model.
Does that character have a normal map applied?

[rooster]

looks great garriola!

[garriola83]

timwiese: yep i have 3 normal maps for it, one for the head, two for the body(which includes the hair), also spec maps and opacity

rooster: thanks a lot, you got some great stuff too

[pliang]

Never seen what it looked like before but looks great at this stage...though head seems a little tacked on for some reason.

[garriola83]

what do you suggest for the head? smaller, different color hue maybe?

[rooster]

i think i see where pliangs coming from, I think its two things- the body seems done in quite a painterly style with heavy shadows but the head looks a little cg and clean, and without much shadow

[garriola83]

i gotcha thanks, i was thinking of redoing the body anyways, but its good to get a clear understanding of what was off. thanks again

[rooster]

the body is cool tbh /images/graemlins/smile.gif i think a few cast/ambient shadows on the head would make it fit fine

[Johan Carlsson]

Looks really nice garriola :] Only thing that buggs me is that her chest (ribcage) seems a bit too narrow. Looks a little odd with her hips and hair being so much broader. Though that's just my opinion /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Here's a little something I'm currently working on
http://pici.se/pictures/DNtCnPPyt.jpg

Some "nightmare" character I'm gonna create. Working on the highpoly sculpt as of now, following a concept I have in my sketchbook, hehe.
It's supposed to be sort of a snakes body, but I'm not going to sculpt the scales, since schools comps won't like me if I do :P So alot more detail is gonna come on as hightmaps on the lowpoly.

[Keen]

Haha Davision3D, I loved Jazz Jackrabbit. Ah, the memories. Nice work!

Looking good, was doing this test myself and ended up turning it into a full UT3 level lol.

[Joseph Silverman]

Thanks Rens. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Vik, thanks. It's already baked, but I don't think quite properly. I didn't plan or construct the piece in a way that was good for baking, so i was afraid of overbaking the ears and took it out early. It's pretty sturdy, but in the future i'm going to be sure to bulk up basic forms with armature of some sort so i don't have to bake something two inches thick.
I don't know how long i worked on it, not much at all, was just playing around with it off and on for a bit and experimenting. The only tool i really used was one of those wire things (http://www.craftmill.co.uk/WebRoot/Store/Shops/CraftMill/470E/2B5E/5746/5816/DA9E/D9AE/F0F5/7C60/4_0020_piece_0020_carving_0020_tools.jpg), i'm hoping to get a few more types of tools before i do anything serious in sculpey.

Thanks ruz. My models always lacked proper presentation so I felt the need to work on this just as hard as I work on the model itself... It's good to see it shows /images/graemlins/smile.gif

cool stuff andrei313, is that maya's new ocean shader for the water? nice presentation anyway.

Thanks MoP. No, it's a VRay material rendered in max. Glad you like it.

konstruct : Yeah she's an Amazon, hence the una-boob. The theme for the comp was a God of War, ancient Greek sort of character.

The legend is that the Amazon's would cut off the right breast to give them an advantage at archery or fighting or whatever. I just thought a great big scar would look cool and was reading Y the Last Man at the time.

did the uv's and baked maps in Xnormal on my shogun today, still gotta do the uvs for the steam powered backpack type thing. Yes Im doing this and dominance war at the same time :/

edit: gotta add some more loops to the boots and the backpack has pipes which go out of those discs on the chest.

nice normaps, maybe the green might be a tad neon, its all up to you, but i noticed that the torso or much of the body's silhouette doesnt match the detail of the normaps or the diffuse. a normal map can only do so much, actually its just a bump map on roids, but the subtle modeling on the pants, torso and the arms to create a silhouette that makes your character "deliverable", thats up to the artist to discover and figure out. i hope i was helpful. good luck

yeah thanks, your right it is a bit too low poly its only 4912 tri's and alot of that went on the hands and head, theres still the backpack and the swords to come so hopefully those will add some more shape to him.

nice props jonathan!

LOL, I mean fixing the normal map, you know, areas where the cage didn't quite get everything right. Some small things it's much faster to fix by hand painting the normal map to get it right instead of spending a lot of time messing with the cage. :)

The specs were 700tris for LOD1, 50% for LOD2, then box-silhouette for LOD3. Diffuse is actually 1024, AO was 512. The UV's for the AO chan (3) are also used for realtime lighting.

2157 Triangles, 2048 x 2048 Normal, Diffuse. I still need to make a specular, then rig it.

[garriola83]

oooh more of my students are posting stuff

alex: awesome pose! did you change something to the head/face? it looks cleaner/better. the hair looks great too. you already know my critique of this. its great to see it here tho.

tim: that puppy is coming along nicely! i think the diffuse is just a little incomplete. maybe it doesnt look decomposed enough. add some variety on the skin and the decomposing body parts; what parts are more decomposed and which parts arent. peeling flesh is always nice and some dead veins full of rotting blood might be a nice touch.

i'll post some of my concepts for my idea a lil later, im just a bit "busy" atm

I really just didn't know if I was taking the rotting flesh look too far or not far enough. so I kept on the safe side and tried not to over do it. I agree with you completely tho and I'm gonna add more variety and nasty stuff.

MUCH better- its good to see you thinking about what your volumes are now- push that envelope till it says "EXCUSE YOU!?" see what happens when you use as much reference as humanly possible when you sculpt, paint textures, etc etc- look up some skeletons, and check your rib cage as well as the weight on those legs.

something was really irking me about your head so I did a paint over:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v505/konstruct/dog_PO.jpg?t=1207547040
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v505/konstruct/dog_PO2.jpg
I looked up some dog skulls to try and get a better idea of how the jaw, hooks into the skull, and the eyes relationship to all of this- I gave him a more pronounced throat, and the bottom jaw was a little squirrel like, and needed some beef. the teeth needed more rawr. (try peeling the skin back to show the teeth mor) because thats EASILY the scariest thing about a dog, undead or not.

LASTLY

look up some photo ref of flesh, dead animals roadkill, decomposing skin, etc etc, and try and pull up some good texture, that would otherwise be too complex, and organic to hand paint. For this example I found an image of a dead pig. (pretty grim, but its all in the name of art right? :P)

crank that contrast!!

Wow. That is example is awesome. Really shows me just how much further I can actually take this piece. I never even thought about having the teeth being shown but that paint over really shows how much more scary it is when they are exposed.
Thanks

[fonfa]

the dog would look way more scary/gross/disturbing with patches of the original fur showing, with a more contrastant color.

[Asmuel]

Keen: Yea I realise that, but it looks like its beens sitting in a cole mine. I think you probably pushed it a little too far dirty, and its very desaturated. Though I don't know what the concept art looked like.

The actual light things on top look ace though :)

[Nick Carver]

Good work, guys!

Here's another vehicle concept I've done for a challenge at Conceptart.org. 3d in Maya and then painted over in PS. Time consuming but good fun nonetheless.

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y95/oishiiniku/gopher1.jpg

Cheers, Nick.

[Joshua Stubbles]

Nick, that is completely badass. I see you use a style similar to hawkprey? Using a 3d model as a base for the concept. Adds an amazing sense of depth to the work. Really really nice.

Keen, I think I'd have to agree with Asmuel and say it looks a *little* too dirty. Though I would think they wouldn't dock ya for that.

Asmuel, this is the only ref we were given by them:

excuse me for asking but what is this 3d model supposed to be? I'm drawn in by the colors and the look of it but I can't figure out if this is some kind of ship or gun. If it is a ship that bar code looking area on the front is really throwing me off.

Ironbear, that guy is a BEAST

[timwiese]

Alex: Looks pretty nice, my only gripe is one the buttons on her pants is mis-shaped, it might just be nit picking though as it looks fine from a distance.

ironbearxl: The arms on your guy don't seem to match the same level of tone that the rest of the body has. With how cut his abdomen area is I would expect his arms to be much more cut then they are.

[TSM]

[Psyk0]

Alex: My first impression was the head is too big. Probably because the space between her eyes is too far apart, only 1 eye should fit in-between.

I agree with you on the lighting Cheese, it's not one of my stronger points, I'll spend more time with lighting on future projects. With the focal point though, I just matched it up with the concept so it would be easy for the company to compare the two.

[odium]

Ok, while the O37 is being finished off, I decided to start on the Knife this afternoon. Well, after a fantastic quick effort from Mo, he made me a low and high poly model for the Combat knife, and I textured her.

Here she is, the Combat Knife. A melee weapon, for when you act like a retard and run your weapon dry. Comes in 2 flavours, a classic swipe action, or press the "function" key and he will hold the blade, ready to throw (complete with sticking in walls action). Not sure how many "knifes" you will get as yet, possibly 5, with the last one reserved (i.e. you cant throw it).

Anyway, enjoy. All comments welcome, but this models done, so we are moving on with other things:

[Joseph Silverman]

Add a layer of grime and scratches that is ONLY in the spec, not the diffuse too -- this works especially well if it's a slightly different color. Done right, it'll give you the depth of depth and realism that you can't achieve without a specular map, and make the most of your engine's capabilities. As it is it looks awesome, and is nice work, but you could technically achieve the same results still with diffuse only. Exploit the power of spec and put some more variation in there.

[odium]

Nice, forgot about that. Tried to make some grime that was a larger contrast, and this seems to do the trick. Really fights with the lighting, but in a good way. Thanks bro. (Updated pics).

About a full days work so far, bear in mind i started maya yesterdayish lol. Slowly getting there, 3/4 of the day was actually spent modelling the prop gun because I didnt know the top tier menu items actually changed with that clickdown catogory thingy :poly127:

Still modding Mount and Blade. It's pretty easy to get into, even for a script-idiot like me...

Great page, nice to see the new fancy-shmancy stuff being abused already :D

Hmm, the quicktime controls are cut off. I can only grab the timeline, but no play button.

[SuPa-]

notman, press the link that says "QuickTime Videos"

[Slum]

notman: quicktime also lets you doubleclick the video to play/pause. :)

Well, the O37 is finished. Yeah, our first weapon model is 100% done. Like the combat knife, only minor changes will be made for this one, as we are moving onto the Pistol, grenades and other stuff now. Enjoy:

Nice fx slum!
now let me see that thing exploding! ;)

[ImSlightlyBored]

Been working on this
http://medicinal-waste.co.uk/body%20copy.jpg
(Concept)
It is taking far too long for an 8 second long scene, spent too much time on it regrettably.

Spliced all organs and parts up in to individual layers, rigged, all layered in 3D. I know its not jesus-perfect anatomically and I'm taking my views from all different sagittal depths but its so brief, it doesnt have to have everything.

(Model:)
Stuck on a wee filter courtesy of blenders post pro that gives it a more aged, 2D feel.

Odium - doesn't look like your specular map is rendering, either that or you may want to crank it up a bit ;]

[Slum]

Davision3d: Dont worry, there's a lot more coming :)

[Cojax]

Whats with you people and blood thirsty rabbit avatars! Gosh!

Haha. Ya nice work Slum =P

[dur23]

ImSlightlyBored: Um, holy crap. That's pretty damn awesome. Make sure you post the final animation.

[Neox]

I worked on a skyshader for Airbørn with the goal of having minimum use of textures but a lot of sky to fill.

http://polyphobia.de/nonpublic/airborn/Untitled/Untitled.html

So the shader currently works with only one 512 texture with 3 clouds on it, one mask to blur away the uvseams and poles of the skysphere and gradient for the skycolor and a lot of stuff to moive the clouds and distort them.
of course there is still a lot of stuff to tweak but it is a start :)

[Vitor]

Some work on the bust I posted before. Still without a specular map.
