[P&P] - What are you working on? 2008 Edition

[DeathByChris]

Slaught: thats awesome, any chance for an SDK?

[Neox]

and yet again some shader stuff, been playing with a different kind of lighting model... think it's a cool start to play around with

http://polyphobia.de/nonpublic/airborn/crosshatch_01.jpg

[Joshua Stubbles]

That's cool and creepy, sek. Very slick

[Popeye9]

Thats pretty cool SEKNeox. Reminds me of the sketch shader in Mental mill but better:) I like how you have the cross hatching happening on the shaded areas

[ebagg]

[commander_keen]

SEKNeox, nice. Can it be scaled from screen space?

[Neox]

right now, not i'll have to find a way to do that without having it flickering all the time, wish i could bend it over the surface more though and right now it's way to heavy, i'm using 2 textures with r, g and b channels as masks, so i'm using like 6 inputs to get the shading, so i'll do the whole thing with one texture with r, g, b and a as masks :)

[Davision3D]

lol neox, thats a crazy shader!

[NeoShroomish]

That's really cool, and I don't know much about shaders or what is possible, but you could make it have an outline as well as lines where the contrast between the shading is high enough :D

[ivars]

SEKNeox: I like the look of that! What are you previewing that texture in? I did one a bit like it, but set it up in Maya with a planar projection constrained to the camera to make it look more flat. (cgfx in maya viewport)

[Neox]

@neoshroomish: a light colored outline is part of the rest of the shader, this is just a test for the shading to get a look thats pretty different from what TF2 has shown

@ivars: it's unreal 3

[Ruz]

wow some really nice stuff on the last few pages. nice to see.

Been busy on this for the last week or so. Need to rework some bits and pieces.

He started off as a cop , but then I figured thats not really what I am interested in so he became more adventurer/archaeologist.

i might give hom some tools or a backpack perhaps?

[BoBo_the_seal]

renderhjs: that's looking really nice!

- BoBo

[commander_keen]

SEKNeox, maybe you could use a uv scaler based on distance instead of a screen projection so you still get curvature on the mesh.

[Neox]

well i can't seem to find a way to scale the uvs on screensize/distance without nasty flickering and it appears that there is no way to import an image like dds with premade mipmaps so i could remnove stronkes and make them thicker with each mipmap level :(

[CheeseOnToast]

SEKNeox : That last one looks great. If you could get it to "boil" a little, I can see a really nice coloured-pencil animation effect coming out of that. You know the kind of thing, "the Snowman" etc.

[commander_keen]

SEKNeox, if you really cant get custom mipmaps to work, you could try manually blend between 2 or 3 different textures based on distance.

that's the plan, but i'm currently fighting through techpapers so this will have to wait a little :)

@hawken : it is actually for a final fantasy alike game with static backgrounds and realtime low poly characters in flash using maxscript and actionscript (http://www.renderhjs.net/bbs/polycount/colorcatch/depth_tricks_1.jpg).

Haha Hawk is that something you are officially doing for him?

[maltuna]

I have had some time at work to do my own stuff, so I have been working on this guy for a few days. He's going be hanging from a wall in a ruin type environment, with a mellow waterfall coming out of his mouth. Max/Zbrush.

[Neox]

renderhjs thats damn nice work :)

http://polyphobia.de/nonpublic/airborn/crosshatch_04.jpg
getting closer, but need a mask for several areas, cloth is looking cool, the hatches on the face needs to be toned down a bit, and then i'll need some static pencil strokes in the texture

[Showster]

SEKNeox love the shader work, seems mind boggling the amount of stuff you have going on in there now :-D

[Neox]

it still has less instructions then a UT3 Character Shader :P
but ok i don't have any gameplay relevant nodes as i don't plan to have something like a biogun green glow

RESPECT !

[Levus]

renderhjs -> Pretty looking stage:) Can you tell what the game is?

SEKNeox -> Awesome character, I saw the previous wips on it and I really like the style. Shader awesome too!

[Flewda]

Holy crap SekNeox. I've seen some pretty complex shaders before, but that one is off the chart! LoL, very nice. And the asset itself is amazing. Well done sir.

[Neox]

ah i'm stupid as fuck when it goes to math and that stuff, so it's not as complex as it might look and as i said, the shaders on a normal >>multiplayer<< character of UT3 has more instructions then my shader, though i don't know what operations they use, they might be cheaper... a node that gives me a time value of how long the shader needs to calculate would be an awesome feature

[Nick Carver]

Evening All!

I've not been up to much stuff outside of work recently, but here's a couple of expression studies I did this afternoon. i probably spent a couple of hours on each. Both were based on reference photos but the main aim was to capture and understand the expression rather than create an exact copy. It certainly makes a refreshing change from the emotionless faces that I get to make on the job!

[Jaco]

Nice 0zu, welcome to Polycount!
Try moving the iris and pupil up a bit to get a more natural expression.

[The Flying Monk]

I'm determined to complete this character and not leave it half completed like I usually do.
I think the high poly is 80%-90% done. I'm going to start building the low poly and start normal mapping to get an idea of where the last bit of polish should go.

[fonfa]

http://xs126.xs.to/xs126/08160/heds966.gif

trying to model a head. never really did this before, so i don't really know what i'm doing. i'd like to get some feedback, i probably made quite a bunch of mistakes. still trying to figure out how to make the ears, and it doesn't look like me, although it matches the reference pictures.

[Vitor]

Trying to improve my head modeling skills, eyes still bugging me but can't point what is that wrong:

http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/298/wip04ef5.jpg

[EarthQuake]

For starters i think the eyes are set too far back and the cheekbow is down too low as well.

[Neox]

@swizzle: i'd add a bit more colorvariation, like more yellow in the highlights, more blue in the shadows, but the shading works quite nice :)

ok worked again on the model and texture, made the face rounder, removed some edges in the shading, added static lines and crosshatched shading to the texture and worked also on the shader, made the last crosshatch mipmap more visible, removed 20 instructions from the shader and changed the outline to be better scaleable, colorizable and viewdepth dependend to a specific value, don't want it to get uber fat when moving far away...

SEK that shader is just awesome. planning on having it downloadable when you finish it?

[Swizzle]

@swizzle: i'd add a bit more colorvariation, like more yellow in the highlights, more blue in the shadows, but the shading works quite nice :)Aye. I actually thought it looked nice when I posted it, but coming back to it after a while makes me realize it's kind of monochrome.

[hawken]

Haha Hawk is that something you are officially doing for him?

nope. And I spelled "divine" wrong... bah.

hope he wins though

[renderhjs]

still for my point & click adventure game,

Looking good renderhjs how long did it take you to concept/model/texture your environment?
If you don't mind me asking.

[Riv3t]

Renderhjs: That's really nice. I'm interested in seeing what that device does :)

Vahl: Wow! That's fantastic.


This is my model attempt while learning blender - a cliche mech/insect/tank thing


http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm49/mccrorie/Screenshot.jpg

[Neox]

@vahl very nice work on her, don't know reminds me of someone but can't say who o.O

@bounchfx: i wouldn't mind doing a making of but i'm not a big fan of giving it away, was quite a lot of work and techpaper studies and it's still much to do and optimize.

@renderhjs: very, very nice work

[pior]

SEK : you might be thinking Amy Smart? Vahl's model reminds me of her (not a bad thing!)

[Ged]

renderhjs, how are you going to integrate the flat harshness of flash into that well lit 3D environment?

[b1ll]

Nice renderhjs!! I dig

[SuPa-]

Marcus Fenix from Gears of War, anyone?

fucking great Valh :)

[Ruz]

looks good vahl - just wondered if the head was a little wide. also the spec colour on her leg looks a bit off.
perhaps more orangey for the spec colour. on the dark blue bit

same with the face, it looks closer to purple than to blue

looks ace renderhjs

[Davision3D]

Really nice work Vahl, and renderhjs I love how that environment is shaping up. Very nice design, detail and consistency.

[Japhir]

I made a little blog/portfolio :D. (still need to find all of my old posts with older work).

[Ruz]

vitor thats coming along great. not sure if the mouth should be a little higher or the chin a little
further down- talking minimal amounts though.

adams apple could be a little higher and more pronounced.

perhaps the distance from nose to scalp in the side view is a little long

ears seem a little cartoony still

liking the style overall

[Squirrely Jones]

hey, SEKNeox, that's one mighty fine looking character and a sweet shader to boot! I don't know if you're doing this but the way standard lighting works in unreal is:

clamp(0,1,dot(normal, lightvector))

this works for photoreal stuff but to get the light to wrap arround the edges of the model you can use:

(dot(normal, lightvector)+1)/2

and then use whatever mothods you want so clamp the gradient. This will produce more light areas and smaller shadow areas even when only using 1 light, similar to how most cartoons look.

http://www.squirrelyjones.com/public/phong.jpg

[Slum]

Vitor, I love that. The profile has really awesome shapes.

[Ruz]

http://mikerusby.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/jacketguy.jpg

redid the jacket zbrushing and tweaked the colours a bit

trousers diffuse need a bit of work

[pior]

Dav3d, where is the link!!!

[Neox]

@Squirrely Jones: thanks :) i'm using the method valve is using for their TF2 Shader, they call it a half lambert its (0,5*dot(Normalvector,Lightvector))+0,5 (don't know if this is written correctly, i'm not good at math ^^)

I'm currently playing around with post effects but all i seam to get out of the scene is the depth, searching for ways to display a world normal, but it appears to me, that all that i get in the postprocess is the final image, but i'm not quite sure yet
but i need to find another way for the outline (currently clamped fresnel), because as it is right now i'll have to drop that part because it can't handle flat surfaces at all, which is ok vor characters but totally doesn't work on technical stuff.

[SuPa-]

Update
http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s107/aquauzi/MarcusFenixTurntableWIP.gif
Really nice stuff you guys got going!

[Davision3D]

@ pior
Not yet released, i still have to make some FPV Arm textures and maybe i can get physics on the bunnys ears to work.

@ Ruz
Nice but you need to redo the clothes because they are too large for him! ;)

I guess the trousers are meant to be too large but the jacket looks kinda strange this long over the trousers.

nice sculpt, but his legs/forearms are too small. (yes I know he has small arms anyway) but still, it doesn't look like his legs could support the mass of his body

[Ruz]

Davision3D - cheers, I will take a look at that. I figure that just making the head bigger might make it look more natural.

EDIT shrunk the jacket down a bit and lopped the bottom off. still needs a bit of reshaping

http://mikerusby.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/jacketguy1.jpg

nice model Super

[Vitor]

Thanks for the help on this one. Got the bakes done and this is how it looks with normal+bakes. Will now start the paiting.

http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/654/wip08yd5.jpg

Looking cool Ruz. Skin is great, good improvement there. The cloth is looking a bit too plastic, lack of a proper specular map you are planing to do next perhaps, and lack of assimetry that you perhaps should do now :D

[Ruz]

cheers vitor. looking forward to your diffuse tex

yeah my dude is very symmetrical. its odd because I have always like symmetry:) but I will try and go the extra mile.

[obson]

something I'm working on

[Tumerboy]

Obson, I can't tell what's going on, but that piece has a great energy/feel! keep workin on it!

[pior]

Yeah Ruz I'd say give the pants a pitch black specular - to allow for the greatest material contrast between these and the leather jacket.

[Ruz]

actually the pants have no spec right now, its just the highlight is painted on the diffuse right now to look like that bleached style. - not really working just yet

looks good so far obson

Japhir: Ahahaha, looking good. I always laugh thinking of him having to waddle over to the side ever so slowly with his tiny, disproportionate legs so Link could continue on his quest. On that note, his lower legs could be pulled in some (shorten the thigh). Is he going to ride a mini Jabu-Jabu?

[Japhir]

Thanks spacey! Yeah that's the reason i picked him aswell :poly121: (I've been playing The leged of zelda: ocarina of time on my N64 emulator lately :poly120:) I need to come up with a way to make him look more chibi though..

@ Vahl & Frozan
There is no trick in it. :)
I had to make my own skeleton and own physic asset but both worked with extending the existing ones. It was very hard setting the physic asset up without making the bunny do weird stuff like breakdanceing ;) but the physic asset editor is kinda cool, but i just dont know how to play the physics parts and the animations in the editor at the same time, does someone here knows that? I also have a big problem with the char driving the hoverboard. The weight is now off because of the new bones and their weight that they need to have. It looks like hes driving drunk on a hoverboard, making also crazy tricks while just moving forward. I will make a vid of that later. :) and i will release the new version most likely this weekend.

@ thomasp
That is some cool style you have there. What is going on with the Jacket and Trousers, looks like they blend into each other. I think he needs more big medals! ;)

@ retleks
Interresting head! Is that some weird stuff growing on the side or just big accrue scars?

[Ruz]

some nice stuff going on

Japhir - is he king of the fish people:)? really like that dude anyway

ThomasP - looks cool overall. not sure about the feet. something bugging me about them.

Davidson3d - looks nice. I long since lost the patience to get stuff in UT:)

Tyler - great start on the body but i think there is some proportion issues . perhaps the head is too small on the body or the hands are too big. Is the jacket that tight normally?

retleks - looks like the ugly dude from goonies a little. nicely done

here is my first run cycle for about 3 years. I am not really an animator , but I thought I would have a crack. any comments/tips would be appreciated

shame I can't make the anim loop in youtube. what a pain. I suppose I can just add more loops in max's video post

Ruz: it's King Zora from the legend of zelda: ocarina of time, a very old N64 game I downloaded for my emulator recently :D. you should try it! one of the best games i ever played! (I never play computer games usually so that doesn't say much, but whatever).
this (http://www.angelfire.com/ar/dhpp/images/kingzora.gif) is the concept, but i'm trying to make him a bit chibi-ish. (it's for a mini challenge over at gameartisans)

[Ruz]

yeah that would be my ignorance of stuff :0
never played zelda, but I do enjoy retro games so I will give it a blast. I still enjoy playing wonder boy in monsterland when I get the time:)

Ruz nice start on the animation, defo needs some more rotation on the hips I reckon, especially on the run.

it's all in the hips baby.

[ImSlightlyBored]

so much quality
Thomasp, thats amazing! My eyes were drawn a little too quickly to his crotch for my preferences mind.

Ruz, for your cycles, as stated I think hip stuff would help and also a little more exageration of sorts. The torso doesnt move much (seems to stay still?) and I think it'd add more depth to the animation. I'm no animator either, mind, so mines not really qualified advice.

SuPa, that looks great so far. I was going to say perhaps bring out the blueish tints a little more in his armor? I think they gave it a general hue.

As for myself, I've been working/animating on this for about 6 hours non stop.
http://medicinal-waste.co.uk/fun.jpg
I was on print layouts for the first half of the day (and two previous) which is just so absolutely mindnumbing. As I said, I'm no animator, but I'm so grateful to be back in the land of creating something tangible (in a sense.)
I'm relishing just being able to work. No more shall I moan about how long I work!

PS Pior awesome as ever /no need to be stated.

The mesh is a mess, but I'm focusing on proportions first. Have a few bits to add to him, like hair, headband, and torn sleeves. Crits appreciated!

[Ruz]

Vitor - did you use an ambient occlusion pas then overlay colors for the face. looks a bit greyscale that all

I don't really make use of the ao for the face or flesh myself. I tend to make a flattish yet detailed version of the diffuse.

Vitor, I like the model, but texture is blured a little.
It's something wrong with the corners of mouth.
The hairs need some work, the scale of bump is too big for me, the shaved area of head need to be more noisy..

You probably done too quick uncontrollable brush strokes on mohawk haircut, so the effect you have got are crossing lines looking unnaturally.

That concept is one of my favorites of Hawkprey's. I did a take on it as my first foray into high poly modeling and character modeling a few years ago. I like the changes to the backpack and the helmet but I'm not digging the breasts or the boots yet - maybe with some colors it will sell better.

[TBG]

systmh what did you render that in...looks sweet.
Maybe have it hold a gun or something cause i dont know why its holding its own hose. lol
Nice work so far!

[pior]

Systmh, thats awesome. Would benefit from a better lighting setup. Still, great so far, I love this - nicely crafted, and somehow meaningful.
Reminds me a little of the portal computer chick. Great vibe...

sorry for raping your scroll bars, guys.

http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/7910/wovenhandsbig2hf1.png

just about done modeling and rigging. i changed my original plan somewhat, since i'm running out of time. the torso is mostly cobbled together from blatant copypasta, sigh. that part won't animate well. it's gotta be properly lit, animated and rendered by wednesday along with two other final projects. i'm such a shameless procrasturbator.

oh, and i'll make that other tube look less.. mirrored. i know it looks horrible with such undue symmetry.

TBG - it's mental ray with a couple quick-n-dirty shaders i made. heh, yeah, the hand is holding the hose just to test the practicality of the rig--seeing if i can make the hand go to where it has to go and then deform around something nicely. rig works ok, i guess.

pior - hey, thanks. didn't really think of it that way until now. hopefully that'll serve to inspire a bit of a mood when i'm animating. the illumination where it is right now is just an image-based setup. no actual lights; although i'm kinda dreading that. i'm such a noob with lighting. any suggestions?

[moose]

damn. thats pretty sick dude.

only comment is the slots by the shoulder pin/slider thingie seems too low poly. can see segments, boo! Don't think i'd worry too much about the mirroring on the chest tbh... it doesnt feel sloppy or bad. I dont think i would have picked up on it or cared really :)

[IronHawk]

dont worry bout the scroll bars man just keep posting. This is RAD.

Alley wip from awhile back that I am finishing up. Good stuff Pior!

Just remember those handles on the garbage bin are so the trucks can lift them up, so you need to make sure you leave enough room for a trash truck to get in there somewhere. :)

[IronHawk]

yeah I have been thinking about that bro. It shouldn't be a big deal though really. Most places would know when the truck is coming and move the crates. It looks better for the scene to have it filled out I think.

Thanks for the Crit. I am still playing with how to place that dumpster. A straight shot to it would be more logical I think but I also want the scene to look good.

Help!!! This is what I'm working on;

http://medicinal-waste.co.uk/helllp.jpg


Now I really need help though. I want the hand/arm to look more feminine in form (they belong to the woman to the right). The only reference I have is my own skeletal hands, and not a womans. It's too late at night to wake her up and by the time I can get her itll have wasted a bit of time.

So, any hints and tips on how to push that to be feminine?

ALSO!

The woman's face on the right, I'm looking to improve. Something about the eyes isnt right. The rest, I think I'm fine with (mouth, sloppy ears, and somewhat questionable nose) its just the eyes need perhaps more love on them to push it.

I know I'm asking alot, but figured you guys would know

Edit: is that mouth even placed right? oh god I dont know any more. Need fresh eyes!

Is that the standard 3dsmax normal bump shader or something else Slainean. looks good BTW

[Vitor]

Well, this one is getting boring. Need to change.

I think I've learn a good lesson with it, still far from perfect obviously but I'm trying... Any critics is highly appreciated, while I don't plan to work much more on it, still trying to learn.

Standard max shader:

nice work vitor :) I think the wrinkles in the corner of the lip's look a bit out of place compared with the look of the rest of the skin. - minor crit tho.

And I must research more into this special map.

[Frozan]

nice, u can really tell how well the special map helped. u should try some skin shaders on him. the skin right now looks slightly plastic still. really cool non the less.

[Japhir]

very nice vitor! the chin is very small, which makes him look a bit weird. the eyebrows are also a bit "short". but that is also what makes it a more unique character.

[ng.aniki]

Vito, he is nice !


But I still think that his hair looks strange.. Like the pixel ratio is really lower than the rest...

I think that tha noise oh the hair is really too large.. Dunno if you understand what I mean ?

[Slainean]

Is that the standard 3dsmax normal bump shader or something else Slainean. looks good BTW

Everything's standard. I wanna try out some of the shaders that are floating around these parts but I have an older video card.

@ ScoobyDoofus
Thats a cool idea and its looking allready very nice. I have to try something like that out for myself.

@ Holi
It seems you used a lot too much polys in the rocks to make it possible to use for the ps2 and the trees seem to have also a lot of polys. However, it looks nice but that lightning brings it down, too much black.

[CheeseOnToast]

Renaud : another top notch character. He needs a top hat and a hare companion :D I finally got round to checking out your portfolio and I was blown away. Great stuff.

Vitor : getting there, but the skull is quite a bit too deep in the profile shots. Generally, head height is equal to skull depth, but yours has a good 2 or 3 inches extra and it's throwing the whole head out of whack. Your perseverance is paying off though.

[Japhir]

very nice renauld!

Using high polycount is just fine on ps2, the main issue is rather the vram. It's ps2's paradigm: high density meshes with loads of tiny indexed textures. :)

@seforin cant tell if you have darks in your texture or not. should let your normal maps dictate those things. also some of the edges where the wall breaks seem a little to low poly wise but we will truly tell when u get it in unreal. keep it up, i thought the high poly looked great but your textures are bringing it down some. try maybe to unify the textures more and also tone down there contrast ratio. keep it up!

[Fliff]

hey seforin, i think it's time for me to point out that i think your stairs are at a bit of an steep angle coming towards the ground, i guess you would slide instead of walk down them.


Looks ok though, concrete looks more like something organic that has been wounded
for the damage and usage on the pipes they are way to saturated, gate needs hinges,
but it's WIP anyway so i just wanted to point out if you haven't noticed yourself ..

That Marlon Brando is looking great, it has an Alex Ross feel to it.

I've been working in a redesign of RSArt over the last week or so. This is 4th or 5th iteration of the design, and it's getting much closer to something I like:

great work spacey :D

been working on the skyshader, will remove the floating islands as the texture needs to be pretty big to not look totally blurred and pixelated, guess i'll do tranparent planes instead...
next thing to add is the sun, not quite sure how i'll do backlighting on the clouds in front of the sun but i'm working on that \o/

That looks like its really good (been following this and loved the marcus you showed previously) but the jpg compression is killing that presentation : (

any chance of a bigger view of jack as well, if its not much trouble?

Neox, I really like how you've painted the clouds, but I have a large problem with your skymap. The sky NEVER looks like that with a bunch of individual clouds, all about the same size, evenly spread out. In fact, I'd say individual clouds are less likely to be in a cloudly sky than giant clouds that spread across the horizon. You need some really long stretchy clouds.

I remember someone posted on here a while back a site that had a few free hi res skymaps. Maybe find that post and use them for reference.
