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

[bearkub]

OK kids, the original WAYWO thread is big enough now that it is crashing Apache (the web server) and causing the boards to suffer. This is the new one (part 2, the return, the second coming...whatever floats yer boat...). I will leave the old one in place but you will NOT be able to view it in threaded mode.


Carry on, lads, carry on.

[Vitor]

Let me thy first then muahahah...

Well i actually got scared when I saw the other one closed.

[Tumerboy]

woot

[MoP]

So now everyone's just working on typing? /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I'm working on playing my new guitar, poorly:

[caseofchill]

Ah, makes sense. The locked icon on the old thread temporarily scared me into my bunker.

[Jaco]

Holy shit mop! As someone who also plays guitar I can appreciate the skill involved here.

Sick guitar MoP!

[man_o_mule]

So i come back from oblivion to post something and the old thread gets closed on the day I come back. Took me forever to figure out why i couldn't post in the old thread.

anyways. here's what i'm working on.
http://home.mchsi.com/~mule/project/html/images/sketches/hero.jpg
http://home.mchsi.com/~mule/project/html/journey.html

I'm going to make a fake gameplay video of a game i want to make. Present it at the next Penny Arcade Expo at the pitch your game idea panel. Not sure how i'm going to go about showing a video at it, but i'll worry about that later. PAX is at the end of August so i've got about 6.5 months to do everything. The guy above is going to be the main character. I have more details on the site.

been thinking about giving the main character a weapon....maybe a guitar cause it's going to be music based.....

Seeing as the thread will probably not be allowed to get as big as the old one, I think I'm gonna hold that title for a while. 'Sides, it looks like it took about three years for the old WAYWO thread to get so huge. /images/graemlins/confused.gif

[aesir]

i think the old thread needs to go into the archives. Extraneous stickies are annoying.

[bearkub]

I am gonna leave the old one up for a week or so, just in case someone goes looking for it.

[Tumerboy]

[Ruz]

http://mikerusby.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/flatpaint.jpg

hate to keep posting the same work, but i am pleased that I finally managed to get the hang of painting in zbrush.

The flat texture was done totally in zbrush.

Bit old school looking I think. It will serve as a good base for when I bake it in to a proper uv layout in max.

I am not too concerned about making the shader look perfect in zbrush , because the the final target will prolly be unreal engine,
but as long as the base tex looks good I am happy

[Armanguy]

worked on the texture a little more what does everyone think?

[StJoris]

Hard to tell armanguy, it's showing up pretty dark.

[doc rob]

Mopster - what are you using to record that audio?

[MoP]

doc_rob: Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/)
It's fairly basic but quite easy to use. Unfortunately my computer just has a built-in sound card, I'm running my Boss GT-3 processor through to the line-in, and it's terrible for recording, it lags behind any audio you play if you're recording at the same time, so I have to manually fix it (and is why a lot of that mp3 sounds slightly out of sync) ... I need to get a proper sound card or external adaptor or something.

That is awesome man, Cable is one of my favorites.

[Joseph Silverman]

I think you have just a little too much lighting info in the diffuse, a good specular map would give a lot more life to it. Still really awesome, though.

[Neox]

really nice work b1ll, love the facial forms and the texture is looking nice too, not as crisp as you lowrestuff, but also very nice.
but the sideview is looking somewhat strange, the head looks a little to wide.
Also the hair alpha could be a bit softer on the outer edges, right now they are too hard compared to the soft blended ends.
but well yeah wip n shit, so waiting to see the final

qsuprore: i guess thats just a matter of taste, i prefer this kind of texturing, most normalmapped characters tend to look dead because of that "all dynamic lighting" shit, i don't care about dynamic lighting as long as the painted in lighting looks great. It'll do its job in most cases, so why do a unlit diffuse that looks good in some cases but not as good as the prelit in most cases?

[/ QUOTE ]

good use of spec is still painted in lighting, it's just painted on a map that effects how it responds dynamically. Just taking out the brightest layer of highlights and painting them carefully into spec will have all of the artistry with a lot more believability in 3d space.

[Helixx]

Just throw it up here since we got a new thread going. An update on the lich character.. the turns toward bizzare have continued but I think it's working. Still lots of work to be done, he's missing a few accessories(belt, necklace, sword) and he still needs tweaks but so far I'm liking the overall look of it.

[Thegodzero]

This thread needs to be renamed to

"What are you working on? 2008"

Then just make a new one at the start of the year so we don't end up almost crashing the servers.


B1ll, mirror or die! Nahh looks good to me!

[Josh_Singh]

b1ll looks great, but his neck is too skinny in that side shot, i dig though

[demoncage]

agree w/ kp, sweet work kite. ruz, model is looking nice.

[fritz]

bill...super nice. awesome.
kite(post)...agree w/KP. i actually saved that image.
Ruz...looking really good. only thing that catches my eye is the pores/skin normal on his torso...looks like the "pockets" are a little extreme. awesome work.

almost finished....future, raver, dancer kinda girl.

Kurtis > as far as hiding a switch on the figure, I've tossed around the idea of using a reed switch (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed_switch) and a small neodymium magnet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neodymium_magnet) to activate it.

[breakneck]

my first attempt at putting hi poly detail onto a low poly model. plus i'm learning zbrush in the process. An axe blade will be coming out of the mouth of the fish/dragon mouth. texture is on the first pass - going for a brass metal feel but i think the head is a bit like wood. enjoy!

fritz - looking nice man, bit of a tron feel to it with those rings.
cheers demoncage
B1ll - but looking good so far nice form.
arrangemonk - it s looking a little stiff so far. perhaps it would have been better to do the overall shape first then add the details.

[Armanguy]

I made the texture lighter:

[Crash]

Xeno: awsome and fungus to you.

[steady]

Bill: your cable is awesome but I don't imagine Cable as having that much sense of style as to have that punk rocker hair up top, or the earrings, he always seemed more concerned with killing bad guys and shit, with a more military style short hair cut or buzz cut. But whatever, its yours to mess with ;P

Fritz: Love the raver chick, looks great! especially her nice long legs

[MAUL0r]

Attention Mythic guys! (and others who like tf2)

My first map got really messy really fast because I was still learning (hammer > unrealed). So I started over whynot? This map is loosely based on the keeps from DAoC. I had to cut down on the details in some areas because of framerate issues, and change the layout somewhat because of gameplay issues. But I'm getting ready to duplicate it and make the red base. I'm still toying with how they'll be laid out... they might be able to see each other, and they might be separated by a mountain. Also toying with the idea of breakable doors on the outer wall... not sure yet. This version is a ctf, but I may make a gravelpit-like cp map out of it later.

P.S. the map is called "2keep" :P

snowfly - just click on the colour palette and drag to your model. it will pick the colour on the model.

I have a found a good stategy is to paint bold stokes of colur then blend with the smooth tool. works quite well. you can also use windows sytem palette if you go to the colour menu dropdown

Illusions - love the skeleton, I should do one at some point too

Xeno that Kenpachi looks really good, I love how you kept him looking so close to the one in Bleach.

Illusions thanks for the feedback. The gun was designed for a cg film I wrote up for one of my Senior Studios projects while I was in school. It supposed to be carried by a new human species that is around 350 pounds and 6' 5" tall. I was planning on bringing this into UT 3. Here is a few updates I did to it taking your feedback into account.

Hi-poly model. Came to about 4 million tris and almost killed my PC (fact.). Rendered in Z-Brush (hence lack of perspective, which is something that needs changing...)

Anyone got a link to that post where someone showed how to do realistic renders in 3DS Max using gamma=2 as the crux of the technique?

Stupid me. Quickly found it. For anyone else after it but not sure where its at;

lovely work guys.

have experimented with a oldschool spectrumize shader with a model by Zet, and also applied it as fullscreen post fx to the Sparc luxinia sample game.
The original shader wasnt by me, but I optimized it down from 100+ instructions to 36 or so. I want to further change it to use more colors again, but keeping the "dither" effect.

the model scene is part of a tutorial on shaders/fullscreen effects I will release with the next luxinia version. And shows how different specular/glow stuff could be done for model instances. The tutorials will not feature this effect but look "normal" /images/graemlins/wink.gif

for the game one would need to turn the background down for less noise. And more contrast/color intense textures for the spaceships

Cheers Ruz & East, I've never messed with its perspective. I thought you had to use the morph/deformation panels for that and I've been having a nasty time with it's fake perspective modifiers...

Tried calling it all in to 3DS max but the times were just ineffective. Incredibly long .obj import times, slow screen rate... it fails in comparison to zbrush and even blender.


Bones - dude, thats like those old GoW screens they released! Same setup?
and tinman: amazing. nothing else to say

[Cojax]

GoSsS - Thats looking good. I allways liked Fengs work, and it looks like you have really translated his piece very well so far. One thing though, it looks a little dark. Maybe add some small lights in areas to show off that detail =P

[StefanH]

GoSsS the level looks awesome. the parts without red light look a little bland. maybe play around a bit with complementary light color. also the ornaments could be more visible. great work.

[Joao Sapiro]

Cojax, the basic shapes are very uninteresting right now you have basic shapes with really uninteresting bevels and some really small filigree that will barely get noticed once you bake , maybe adding some damage in mudbox since that rock isnt polished clean has alot of imperfections ehhehe. Still looking good man.

[Ruz]

Armanguy - its improving , but I don't like the tin harsh lines which are trying to define a highlight
along edges. loooks a little old schoool.

little lacking in detail too ie broad panels with nothing breaking them up.

Cojax - i like the silver door very clean looking.

5380 Tris so far and more to come with hair and some other bits of clothing still needing to be modeled. I am aiming for 5500 when done with 500 of that being for removeable items of clothing. I have a lot of optimising I can do once all the other bits are modeled.

[Saidin311]

Holiday weekend in Ontario woot. Decided to try something new. Not too sure what I'm gonna do with this. I'd like to use this as a high poly to bake into a low poly set piece, but its not the most efficient built model, it has some bad sided polys that would need to be fixed.

But its almost done, just adding some extra surface detailing at this point. I have to add some panels, rivets, latches etc. I'm not going to go into the full detail of the swingarm gears, but there are some pistons and the main gear which are important for the look.

It's a SA-2 Guidline SAM launcher. Built by the Russians in the 50's. It saw use in Nam and the cold war etc.

My entry for the Mini Dom War contest over at GA.org. He is based off of Brian Parnell's (modeling man) awesome DW2 entry, Leon. He is at 650 tris with a 256, and his accessories at 148 with a 128.

http://brandonmorris.info/leon_turn.gif

[buddy the designer]

I should've mentioned I saw him on that break pic, made the concept as i remembered him, I guess that I also somewhat used some of the other pics from this gallery as well, there was a guy with SEX on his shirt there too i think so i used that as well, I'm not yet happy with how this guy looks like, in the end he might look a lot diferent than he is now.

I think it would sound nicer if I'd use word modelling sheet instead of concept since the general concept itself is the pic TelekineticFrog posted.

Very stylin' Eclipse. A lot of personality in such a low-poly package.


I wasn't really happy with my previous version, so I'm working on a revision of my Beelzebub character. Still in the early stages and I haven't implemented the wings yet.

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

[aesir]

I understand what you were trying to do with the head, but its just too uniformly squashed right now. It looks like you modeled it normally, and then just scaled it down on the y axis. It also doesnt make sense for eyes to not be sphereical. You can mess with that a little for style, but I dont think you can do it as much as you have.

Otherwise I like it.

Really nice cloth u got goin there SF /images/graemlins/wink.gif

[PolyHertz]

StrangeFate: Wow, absolutly loving the cloth on her, very nice! /images/graemlins/ooo.gif

It looks like the cloth and the base body are all part of one mesh, which seems strange to me. Did you make a bse mesh first, pose it, then model and combine the cloth on top or something else? Whould love to have a run down on the steps taken to get that look.

[alexk]

Strangefate, that is so rad!

[Por@szek]

Wow the cloth is amaizing.
I bet Fate made them by hand :P

figure and cloth is superb, wings let it down a bit

[CheeseOnToast]

adamlewis : Nice take on Beelzebub, nice to see him all fly-like instead of the usual horn-headed type. Textures and materials would really make this guy if you decide to go that far.

StrangeFate : You still doing hardcore subD modelling for these or have you been sculpting? I'd love to see the wires if it's the former.

[diffa]

...
http://www.alphapolygon.com/pics/works/d_head_004.jpg

[StrangeFate]

Thanks all, you too french fry

The statue is for an ingame prop so i had to keep the wings with a rather simple outline, can't spend too many polygons there. Ideally yes, i would have modeled more delicate feathers to match the statue better.

Still all SubD
Unlike in the other statues i modeled the cloth right out of her body this time so i could have that wet/windy look and blurr the seams between cloth and skin in some places.
The cloth falling over her leg and back is still a separate piece.

http://www.strangefate.com/webby/wvwires.jpg

[caseofchill]

Looks nice strangefate.

[EarthQuake]

SF you crazy bastard, that looks great. The wings dont really hold up to the same quality i think(the feathers mainly) but the cloth is amazing.

[fritz]

man. SF, that is really, really nice subD work on the cloth. sooooo clean. very nice.

[Mark Dygert]

Holy crap thats awesome SF! But you need to bring the wings up to the same quality level as the cloth/body...

Thanks for the kind words, folks!

Tumerboy: It was supposed to be for the ID of the week challenge at conceptart.org, but I missed the deadline... Ah well, it was a great learning excercise.

Ruz: That's a really good start. Good treatment of the overall forms.

Geezus: That's a nice barrier. The surfaces look good and the rebar's a nice touch.

achmedthesnake: The model was pretty damn detailed. I would have liked to have done more painting, but my perspective drawing skills are sorely lacking. Plus, duplicating 20 rivets around a circle in Maya is much less laborious than painting them all in Photoshop. I used to be a bit snobbish about concepts that used 3d heavily, but when you can't argue with the results that people like El Coro and Hawkprey achieve.

Here's a little animated gif of the photoshop bit:

[/ QUOTE ]

you pushed quite a bit there, judging that you started from a cube !

1. The whole hair thing and the hair line going to the sideburns look kinda goofy, really takes away from the model.
2. The ears are too small.
3. The eyes & sockets generally sink deeper in a human face while the eyebrows and cheeks stick out a bit, yours are flat. (ye you can't hide it, even from that angle :P)

I'd suggest to practice on bold heads, and generally the more work you do, the more you'll want to refine your base, up to the point your base will resemble the shape of a head yet be simple enough to open for a lot of possibilites. (look at zb3 forums and you can see what sort of bases the top artists work with)

[Slum]

Slum, might be worth working on those base forms a couple of levels down.If you sculpt on the higher levels too soon its hard to get good clean strokes.
you could try masking the larger muscle forms also.
I stroke and then smooth out as required and occasionally inflate around masked forms.
