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

[Neox]

Well we have no horizon in this world so the clouds would defintely not stretch perspectivly as they do on our world.
The goal is not to have a realistic, but a good looking sky with nice colors and simple fluffy a little stylized clouds.
but i agree on the size and i'll try to bend the uv space in the shader, maybe this works for having more individual sized clouds.
right now there are only 6 clouds on that sky which are heavily modded by the shader. the whole skydome consists of only a few very small texturepages, 1 512 for the solid clouds in foreground, 1 256 for the light clouds in background, and 2 maps for masking and distortion, it's not just one big texture, as one big texture would be less dynamic

Spaceys pokemons looked pretty awesome, so I wanted to give it a go myself:

It took me about an hour and a half, it was pretty cool to make this little fella! Definately going to make more soon!

PS: finding out it's name also took me an hour and a half haha :D

[Frozan]

Supa i agree with imslightlybored. and i think his pose doesnt seem to hold up well. find a better way for him to rest or ride that guy haha. bigger, higher res.

[SuPa-]

Yeah, I had made this pose -> http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s107/aquauzi/MarcusPosedWIPSS1.jpg <- and I like it more, but it didn't look practical because of the feet and the way he was resting on the edge. If he were really riding it, his feet would be resting on (or near) those green pipes in back because they're flat, so I did that, and that raised the body, and I couldn't get the arm down on him without stretching

still very wip but making progress. I am thinking of vertex painting the walls and then doing a RTT instead of decals for the grime over the base textures on the walls. The older props will get a touch up to there textures before the end to bring it all together and make it more consistent.

Well, while my liver is regenerating from yesterday night and my head hurts, just another boring head study.

[Japhir]

looks great vitor! I drew you a little paintover with more common head proportions. right now he seems to have squashed chin and small nose. the ears are too small too. the back of the head seems too big aswel, the ears aren't dead center.
I hope you don't mind and that it helps!

Your sculpt is expressive, inspirational and just badass :)
The texture doesnt' do justice to the highpoly however, skin has yellow tones and different redness level to indicate the blood vessels underneath and the depth of skin. teeth have specularity even when they're yellow etc, but I'm not a texture artist and I realize this is work in progress.

Sectaurs
Brilliant as always, you definetly have my vote :)

[rollin]

sorry guys.. all you vitor-head paintovers are boring.. but his original head isn´t..

keep it like it is (meybe just some ear-shape fixing.. just a breeze..)

@ rollin: yeah i know, but i did a paintover anyhow because his previous head had exactly the same proportions as the one he's doing now.

[gavku]

Sectaurs that look ace dude....

[CheeseOnToast]

@vitor's head mesh : I like the receding chin etc. but the basic proportions of the skull are off, as is the ear position. Japhir pretty much nailed it with his paintover IMO. The stereotypical heroic jawline isn't a necessity though.

[rollin]

i don´t say the paintovers are bad.. i say they are boring bc they are the default-generic head.. i always knew if a head is made by vitor bc of his style.. this is why art is never the perfect line.. bc the perfect line is boring

so it´s nothing against you :) the paintover itself is very good imo
and the comparison could help newcomers a lot!

i just don´t want vitor to make generic heads ;)

[IronHawk]

lol B1ll has a mini me.

[Japhir]

rollin: i understood what you meant, and i absolutely agree. but i did a paintover to show the generic proportions since his previous heads had the exact same proportions as this one.
Ok let's stop spamming this thread and let Vitor make up his own mind ;).

[Ruz]

nahh its cool rollin, i know what you meant.

I think I have got to loosen up my style anyway, been making a lot of 'generic' stuff of late

[Razorb]

spend like 3 hours on this crappy model ;( in a rush.. its part of a university project... and ive got a week left to write a 70 page design document :O funfunfun lol :/ hooopefully ima make a movie after its all handed in.. but yea... tis all just a hazy dream :D

[Vitor]

Thanks a lot for the critics/comments dudes. Indeed, I have a problem with proportions, that is what I'm trying to fight with this last series of heads. That and make then more natural and soft. I think I spent too much time doing quick Zbrush doodles without caring to study a single reference image and now I'm paying the bill. On the other hand, I hate generic, it is boring and dull, but a realistic proportioned face doesn't necessarily needs to be boring. Well, wish me luck on the next one and hope I can count with you guys to help me.

retleks -> looking great, can't wait to see more of it.

Geledonutt: very cool! i like how u went about it, though the textures seem slightly cartoonish, were you going for that? non the less it looks sweet.

[Jeremy Wright]

Razorb, I think the way the waist connects to the torso is a little weird (or maybe it's the lack of a codpiece to mark an end to the bottom of the waist), but beside that, the mech is anything but crappy. I like it alot, dude!

[Razorb]

yea your right dude ! the game is isometric.. so i didnt worry about it too much :D but yea ur right .. and thanks ehhe :)

Frozan :D woot woot ya know wut i think :P good stuff :>

[oobersli]

i like the building style geledonutt, but maybe think about level of detail via height? more detail at the bottom, less towards the top.

Anyways, crunch is over, finally got the last tweaks on part of my dom war char I never finished. Now I just have to finish the larger creature. :)

model im working on for a while now - far away from being done, still have to optimize a few things. hell dont want to think about unwrapping it .. :/

Geledonutt (http://boards.polycount.net/member.php?u=20871) really like the building - im only a little confused about this ton of airconditioners ;)

[Geledonutt]

I was going for a semi realistic look. I had a budget so I spread the poly's as much as i could.. Hehe, was just trying to break up the windows a bit air conditioners where easy solution.

Kio; Really like that airship.

[Jeremy Lindstrom]

This was the art test I was working on as well. I was under the gun and wasn't able to finish it since I had to learn max for the test. :) But I think I did pretty well for picking up Max in and getting 3/4 done in 7 days. :D Hopefully they can put me in an internship spot or entry level since I got some maya experience but still learning Max.


http://www.jeremylindstrom.com/images2/screen1.jpg

Had a 10k limit, came in at 6900, so I have 3100 left for pipes, fire escape, bill board, and maybe a few fire escape doors to break up some of the repetitive textures on the other two sides of the building.

my attempt at a pokemon. Any suggestions on how to drop polycount or anything?
http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee3/Mtg_Kirin/1-10.jpg

you could make the eyes sprite planes of 2 polygons (as seen in most nintendo games). The smaller feet could be less detailed also, just cubes or intersecting billboards of 4 polygons. Polygons used in your lower sections could be removed, making the smaller balls into diamond shaped cubes, then giving you greater resources to add detail to the shape of the head section.

This is where you are lacking detail the most and it's showing. Because you are applying the same quota as the smaller details, which will actually take up less pixels on-screen therefore requiring less detail.

[Japhir]

thanks slaught! yeah i thought it would probably not work out ;). (i just want to, because now i can finally watch normalmaps realtime :poly120:)

[Joseph Silverman]

Nah, go for it japh. They work much better than you would expect -- check out Company of Heroes or Age of Empires 3. Just gotta be smart about what details you put into the normal map, and maybe tweak it by hand a bit ala pior (http://www.pioroberson.com/images/3d_pior_bobodemon.jpg) :)

[Neox]

Good mesh Japhir.
But I doubt a normal map with a 256² resolution will look very good.

even 64² normalmaps can bring a little more detail then good old goraud shading ;)

looks good so far, but like the zombie dog you had, the texture needs a bit more contrast between the rotting flesh, and the flesh thats intact. and maybe crisper textures between the different colors of the texture.

(I'm thinking about upping the contrast some, the renders never seem to have as much contrast as the texture)

any suggestions on what version of the head to go with? I think the version with no eyes looks most scary.

Yeah, old post, but I'm just wondering, what kind of clay is that? Probably a stupid question, but oh well. Awesome face :P

[pior]

Hi there, no issues :P It's called WED Clay, a special mix of natural clay made by some Disney folks back in the day. It handles pretty much like grey natural clay, except that it stiffens instead of drying. You can keep a sculpt up for weeks!
On a side note I think I screwed up that head now, smoothed it too much. Bah! Wil cast it anyways.

Here is what has kept me away from my computer. Thank god I graduate in a week. This was for a facial expression class. It is regular gray clay kept moist and resculpted over the course of 6 weeks. In between sculpting sessions we would draw the same expressions. This was the second class I had that was sculpture and drawing combined. The first one was Figure based.

Hey man, it's looking awesome. may want to round the jaw -> cheeks a bit more to fit with the concept paintover you posted in IRC, but unless you want to go exactly that direction this works fine.

[Thegodzero]

Hot! if it was me i would bring in the cheek bones a bit. They make her head look a bit odd at an angle.

retleks, don't stop keep going that is pure eye candy!

[Slainean]

ScoobyDoofus, I could pull back the area on the back of her head where her hair meets her neck. Unless you are going to cover that area completely with hair, it should be more rounded. Is this going to be just a bust or a full model?

Its like you pushed exactly what was needed to make it extra cool x2 =o

[Neox]

pißwasser bottle

wtf!

[Joao Sapiro]

japhir in all your textures you seem to lack any color, for example this skin texture is full of white smudges that dont contribute to any form/shape at all , throw in some reds , even dark greens , purples etc skin has a shitload of subtle coloring to be made believable. its just you seem to be making the same mistake over and over . keep going tho !

[Joseph Silverman]

Johny's right, japh. I really like your texturing, but it hasn't improved much in a while, you're way too conservative with hues and it gives an overly painterly/cartoony look to everything you texture. Start to play a lot more with colors and more realistic rendering -- you've got planes and lighting down, dive in to the rest of it.

Anyway, you/jaco/slaught are inspiring me, may try and enter that contest...

Wow Sek, That looks amazing! I can't believe thats all shader work, very inspiring!

Thanks Japhir, you're right about those palms, always make my palms to meaty. Looking good btw!

[rollin]

nice jaco.. like this stylised way you made the muscles
but you need a gap between body and belt at least a little bit.. the normal is washing it out i know :)

and the shoulders are a bit too strong compared to the rest - imo

cool head ! :)

[Chai]

hah Jaco, you're making me want to switch to zbrush :)
great model, but I have to say those shoulder (deltoid ?) muscles look way exaggerated.

the hands seem to go straight in to the forearms.

[MoP]

Cool stuff in here. Jaco, that guy looks really cool, I like the "sculpted" style of him so far, although IMHO his shoulders are just a little too exaggerated... they look weird to me, like he's been pumped up with an air pump in the shoulder area...

[Japhir]

here is an update, after painting over several times this is the new torso color blockin, comes off as a bit too red and dull now, while i painted with dark purples and blues and reds etc :(. the back is (obviously) still very very rough and the anatomy there is wrong, i'll work on that the next time. I hope some of you can give me some crits on how to make him look more "real". thanks in advance!

holy shit vahl, lookin' spicy. How'd you do them eyeballs?

[Renaud Galand]

very clean/nice style style Vahl ! This head has a ton of character :)

[Neox]

really nive work vahl, very clean style. Not a a fan of the ears though, they are pretty off shaped and look kinda rushed, also whats that edge under the earlobe? And i'd lift the lip a bit up where harelip operation scar is, right now it just looks like decoration but the side with the scar is always a little bit higher http://www.jobeaufoix.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/joaquin_phoenix.jpg there may be better reference but you can see the slight difference betwenn the sides.
Also are you going to alpha that collar round? If not i'd definitely add the few extra polies to round it up a bit it really doesn't serve the clean style and closeup ability of the face.

[Funky Bunnies]

Majorly kick ass, jaco and vahl

Feels like it's been forever since I was practicing any sculpting. I finally tried tonight, but didn't really get the style I was going for

http://www.funkybunnies3d.com/3d/DrBigHead.jpg

[vahl]

thanks guys :)

SEKNeox : the ears aren't touched at all yet, the edges are just badly triangulated edges since that export was just to check the textures in the engine, as for the collar thing, everything will be covered by a cloak/hood so I didn't want to waste polygons on that part.
I'll fix the lip and stuff, good call on that, also need to push the colors more because the shader/lighting tends to wash everything out right now :(

Funky bunnies : looking cool dude, is that rendered/textured in zbrush ? I'm still at the photoshop only age on the texturing side of things :p

[IronHawk]

looking good Vahl. I also really enjoyed browsing the enviro work you did for dark sector on your site.

[Jaco]

Thanks for the comments guys, here's an update on the head:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v332/Jacoh/GTAWips4.jpg

Agreed about the delts, I got carried away with that damn inflate brush :) I'll post updates of the body later.

[Japhir]

very very cool jaco!
texture update, crits are most appreciated!
http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/7864/surferwip2bc9.gif
gonna add some more shadows to the legs and arms.

[Joseph Silverman]

Japh, the forms are awesome, so far. Let's see more color in the body, if you really want to push for realism. Blues, greens, reds, yellows -- get some ref and go wild with it, even if you don't manage to do anything you really like it'll be good practice.

jaco, cool sculpt, digging the style.

[Ged]

japhir I agree with suprore, more colour variation, not necessarily harsh saturation, just variation. At the moment his head looks a slightly different hue to his body.

[Slingshot]

Jaco that head and hair for that matter look dope!

thanks suprore and ged! it's pretty hard to add color variation, but not go overboard with too much saturation :(. well, here is another pass, decreased the saturation and fixed the back some.
http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/6926/surferdudewip6nd7.jpg

[ImSlightlyBored]

That reminds me
Ben Mathis wrote a tutorial AGES ago (I think its on his site and he also says its his first character tut) about painting body textures, and one useful trick was to R, G, B cloud channels and combine them in to a colour variation all over. Erm, hard to explain, Ill just now dig it up.

http://www.poopinmymouth.com/process/character_tutorial/character_process_page_5.htm

Thats the technique (accredited to 'harlequin'). Its definitely worth a try, it only takes about a minute at most.

[Joseph Silverman]

i don't really like that technique, at all. A decent texture requires a lot of precise, intelligent color variation -- not only does the rgbclouds look bad and random, it doesn't give you a chance to learn anything from doing it.

[Japhir]

yeah i read that tutorial ages ago and also thought it was a bit too random for my tastes. thanks anyways!

[Ruz]

Japhir thats improving
just thinking you could paint more with warm and cool colours rather than relying purely on light and dark.

you done it a little under the armpit, but |i was thinking maybe darken the skin a little first, then introduce warm and cool variations.

nice poses, spacey

vahl perhaps the eyes are a little bit 'cut out' looking( but too white perhaps?) but nice skin shader.

also the hair mass needs defining/bulking out a little

flow 3d thats nice but after the 3rd repetition I wanna throw rocks at the screen:)

[CheeseOnToast]

Another great page. Great job on the scout, I keep watching the "meet the...." series and the scout vid has grown on me a lot.

Japhir : areas close to bone without much muscle/fat over them often appear a little yellowish. Areas like shins etc. You tend to get more red in areas with more bloodflow (obviously).

[vahl]

Spacey : thanks man, awesome poses, seeing your TF2 lowpoly stuff is always a pleasure :) so refreshing.

El ZOrR : loving it, the style reminds me of Evil Twin: cyprien's chronicles 's style, no idea why :p

Ruz, thanks, the eyes have been fixed since that shot, was working mainly on the skintones at the time I took it, the hair is still untouched. Trust me, it won't be left that way :)

Hey there, all.

Great stuff going on as usual.

Spacey: I really love what you've done with the TF2 guys, very cool.

Here's a sculpt I've been working on in my spare time. I seem to work on more 3d stuff when I'm concepting at work and vice versa. Some people might recognise this guy as rat-faced Stan Valchek from The Wire (best TV show EVAR!!! etc.). I'm a big fan of people like Andy Bergholtz so I thought I'd have a go at my own little likeness. I'd definitely like to have a go at getting stuff like this rapid prototyped...

SEKNeox: I am loving it! Is this a personal project or some sort of mod? The style is so cool. Can't wait for the texture on that engine bike.

[Neox]

It's a personal project and a mod :D
for UT3, we wanted to do it on cryengine first but saw more good things on unreal engine, escecially when it goes to the code side of the game, in crysis you need a coder, in unreal you need them only from time to time if you're not heading for something uberfancy, the the toolset is just awesome. even though it seems all faked like hell to get performance, but on the other hand, the enginge just runs on a lot of systems and has ps3 modability too...

however we just started over at moddb, so some more stuff to be seen over there :)

http://www.moddb.com/mods/10979/airborn

[jerry]

Wow, all that stuff is awesome SEKNeox, can't wait to play any of that!

That looks really awesome sekneox, really fun style etc. Looks like it will be a ton of fun to do :)

[vahl]

SEKNeox : Have fun with the mod, it's up to a great start already, I'd work on the gameplay earlier than you seem to plan it though, so that you can rapid prototype stuff in kismet first to make the coders work easier later on, and so that you can test the various features.

[Neox]

I'd work on the gameplay earlier than you seem to plan it though, so that you can rapid prototype stuff in kismet first to make the coders work easier later on, and so that you can test the various features.

i'd totally agree but we have enough stuff to do on the visual side and can't learn everything in unreal at once, shaders, matinee, physics stuff etc is all stuff to learn and we are "only" artists right now, definitely searching for guys with kismet knowledge, but as long as there's no one who knows all that stuff we can only do what we can do best and do gameplay testing besides :/

in the end, i'm not heading for a big playable game but for a good looking demo, everything else comes after that, but if scripting/coding/kismet folks would like to help, i wouldn't mind :D

@your work: he's definitely getting better and better, waiting for his hoody :)

Japhir: Nice finish. I agree with vahl, you're cruising on progress.
Nick: I haven't seen The Wire, so I'm not sure about likeness, but it's looking great. The ear could use another subdivision though.

@supa: haha funny thing :D

@stjoris: very nice lowpoly stuff, definitely fits the style, let spayes guys jump around in that set ^^

@elemtrix: i'm kinda missing contrast right now it kinda looks like it's settled in a world full of poisoned fog ;)

@swizzle: i like some of the forms but somehow it doesn't fit together that well, you mixed some pretty organix details with hard edged stylized curvature, i'm not sure but maybe you could push it further in any of both directions to get a better working design?

[Swizzle]

That's pretty sexy, Neox.

I know what you mean about the hard edges and the organic forms, but that won't be too much of a problem later on. I'm actually going to be sculpting some fabric folds, seams and stuff into his clothes so it all fits together better.

I guess I did get kind of stuck in a cartoony mode when I modeled the collar and stuff, though. I was working from a very stylized concept, after all.

[Joao Sapiro]

Still needs some celtic tattoos and other minor details (like fingernails :) )

[rollin]

Hahah, you'll never hear that crit about a female model. Just sayin'.

[Jaco]

Yeah he's clenching a bit. It's a habbit he picked up in jail.

[ThatDon]

Cool work jaco, I'm not so sure about those abs though. belly button could use some work too. Keep it up mate.

[Neox]

@vitor: you shouldn't feel bad, the new head is cool, though some stuff on the profile looks odd, ich think the corners of the mouth should be moved more inwards, the mouth is looking really flat and while the wrinkle besides the nostrils looks cool in front view, it's looking kinda strange on the sideview, so maybe a bit more experimenting on the volumes would help :)
oh and i'd usggest not to do hair on this resolution, really having it done on texturebase is way easier and lets you combine normals with diffuse better, and it really doesn't help your character as it reaveals the meshdensity in this part pretty much, so i think maybe working in some szbtle forms from the skull will help you way more then eyecandy details

ok went on... sideengines and rotor still missing and some details here and there

Really like what ze Airborn crew is coming up with, looking forward to more, esspecially with the concept artists you've got (i'm thinking of 2 very talented austrians ;) )

Plane looking hot! :)

[Ferg]

sek that is glorious, but I immediately noticed that the wings aren't airfoils (http://images.google.com/images?gbv=2&hl=en&suggon=0&q=airfoil&btnG=Search+Images). no crits otherwise, please show us more.

[EarthQuake]

Vitor man, it seems like you're modeling the same head over and over, its like dejavue whenever you post a new head, vary it up a bit!

[Slainean]

Vitor - I agree with EarthQuake. I also think you should try and do a couple ear studies. Your characters have peculiar looking lobes to me. Keep going, dude.

[Jaco]

Awesome stuff sekneox!

[Vitor]

I have to admit that is true EQ, I really need try new stuff... And thanks neox for the critics, really appreciated ;)

I think I got this one done then, learn a few good things on this latest series of heads.

My computer is starting to crap itself, time for an upgrade.

[Davision3D]

I like what you did there vitor, the only thing that bugs me his lower jaw bone, its very hard, it should merge with the neck at the back but instead it pops out very hard!

@ SEKNeox
Nice, but you need to bake faster! :P

@ Jaco
Very cool, you also need to make the veins pop out more with some color!

[Ged]

Vitor, nice head but I do agree it is very similar to the other ones, why not use some reference and just make some random peoples faces for practice?

Sekneox, Im lovin the airborn stuff

[snake85027]

jaco thats an awesome character!

More progress. Haven't had much time for personal work lately but going to really throw down over the next couple weeks.

Still very wip

This thread has always been a huge source of inspiration for me, so I figured I should start adding to it in hopes of doing the same for someone else.

I decided to jump on the ZBrush bandwagon. After 2 hours of fussing with the mesh being inverted (Display Properties > Flip!), I finally got around to learning the interface and all the crazy brushes.
