So I made this shotgun, first gun :)

Very nice eric. I would love to shoot some zombies with that thing.

a piece done for modeling comp
really quick and dirty though

hahahaha that shit is APE yo!!!

[Art-Machine]

I would have liked you to spend a little more time on those fur sticky-outies, Instead of just pulling on the mesh and moving on. Because at first it just looked to me like he was melting or covered in goo.
But other than that crit, very nicely done. :)

[TheMadArtist]

Hey! Thats awesome, is it the Tempietto by Bramante? It looks just like it!

Hey, that's interesting, I looked up the Tempietto by Bramante and yeah, it sure does look exactly like that ref pic I found. The description of that photo I was using says that mausoleum is one of the highlights in the Hauptfriedhof in Frankfurt am Main, Germany and that the design was based on the Tempietto in the cloisters of S. Pietro in Montorio, Rome (1502), the architect was Friedrich Christoph Hausmann.

Glad you noticed that, I was just using that one photo for ref and now I can look up a lot more!

@gaganjain: i dunno the proportions seem pretty off to me, i don't know the ref, but the thighs seem to be ultra long compared to his lower leg

[morte]

neox you bastard! How do you do that!? Stupid bird and i love it already!

Progress on Spidey:

[Neox]

there the porportions work way better, i guess its because of his goofy pose, also hand and feet are more toony and you could bump out the muscles way more, yours look a little flat and could definitely use more volume, keep it up :)

qmorte... err what do you mean, with how i did o_O
nice spidey, in which timepreiod is he supposed to be?

http://nonpublic.airborn-game.com/wip/neox/chars/animals/seagull_02.jpg

[morte]

You are just pure awesomeness Neox!
The first idea for spidey was to make classic red and blue costume, but it is quite simple design, and i am still thinkin about some changes to it, but as for now no good ideas.
and again- bird is superb!

[nrek]

Great work guys!

Neox I love the bird.

Morte, Spidey is looking awesome so far but I think his fingers could be a bit wider.

My latest project.

Ah that reminds me, i've been meaning to say! Your airborn (http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/11/10979/airborn_screens_03.jpg) char (the main one) has a similar problem except its the other way around, he's got very short thighs but very long forelegs if you know what I mean?? Just something I noticed when browsing through the awesome airborn stuff on moddb.

[Quokimbo]

I created a bush that is going to go into the source engine...

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e10/Quok1mb0/bush1copy.jpg

I was bored so I captured me working on the bush...

http://www.screentoaster.com/watch/stVUJQRUZIR11XRl5YXltZU1ZV

3/4 of the leaves I manually placed where they needed to be, only the last quarter or so did I think to turn on vertex snapping!? You know, you spend an hour placing leaves and then you learn.

How does she look?

yep i know exaclty what you mean, we already figured that out but decided to keep him as he is, because there are so many animations already done and we didn't want to put tooo much time in tweaking just yet, i'll have to chack if i can change it easily and if the anims still work then or if i have t reexport all of them

but as for the bird, its the ankle you see there not the knee, it won't be walking much anyways i guess, so far they are lanned to fly away when you come closer

More Batman for this page, but this time as a viking!

[obson]

Made some changes on this guy

I got some feedback that he was looking really hellboyish so I changed up his skin and fixed some other things that were bugging me.

http://joekeller.net/forums/nadir_web_new.jpg

[Swizzle]

Quokimbo, you could get a better looking, less expensive bush with less than half the tris if you used cards for all the branches and leaves. If you wanted, you could even make the thick base and then use cards for all the small branches and leaves.

[Quokimbo]

@ Swizzle

I have modeled bushes the way you stated, (http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e10/Quok1mb0/bush2copy.jpg) but when we export them into the source engine, the planes show? The alpha's are not transparent. We have not figured out a way around this...

That screen was taken in Maya, but in source the planes show white (http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e10/Quok1mb0/bushes_124.jpg)...

That screen was taken in Maya, but in source the planes show white (http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e10/Quok1mb0/bushes_124.jpg)...

In the texture's .VMT file are you specifying that the texture needs to use the alpha channel for transparency?
If you have grey in your alpha write this:
$translucent 1
or
if your alpha is just black and white
$alphatest 1 (does the same thing but lesser quality)

you may get alphasorting issues (where one alpha plane might render infront of another even though it's behind it). As far as I know, you can't change that except to use 1 bit alpha.

[Quokimbo]

I can not tell you what is being done, I export the .OBJ from Maya, and save out the .TGA from Photoshop with a transparent background. Zip it up and upload it to the forum for someone to get it into the engine...

Oh dude. Justin, that is awesome. Love the stylisation. Great variety of edges.

Made a couple fixes to the kid (for one, the lighting on the helmet was coming from the wrong direction, lol). And added his steed (still pretty early). Since any knight worth his salt needs one. :P

cool work guys

jaco - very nice sculpt, got good forms on the face
obson - really nice! reminds me of niklas jansson's stuff
justin - cool busts justin
ruz - nice work ruz, think the grain of the fabric is maybe too big and strong, might get a sort of moire effect from it.

finished this guy just enough for the sinistercircle comp:

http://www.adventuresincommuting.com/migfin03.jpg

never really happy with the goblin face but when the skull is replacing his head he looks much more fun, might turn him into a full character, an undead scientist/ corpse casanova/ something

http://www.adventuresincommuting.com/migfin02.jpg

[Thegodzero]

Casanova Corpse! FTW! In keeping with the style he needs stylized flames holding up his skull!

[JasonLavoie]

Reaallly nice kite, defiantly like your second idea as well... should be real interesting :)

[Ruz]

cheers for the crit kite. your stuff is looking nice as usual
love the skull guy in particular

looking good so far TheMadArtist

[Arzach]

Really nice sculpt Kite. I like how you detailed the muscle and skin on the face. What brush do you use most for zbrush (mudbox?) if you don't mind me asking? :p

[Jeremy Wright]

Kite, that is pretty damn ince.

Ruz, your realistic humans are are. They look better each time.

[SuPa-]

kite, I love it with the skull as the head. Nice work!

Working on rendering a scene with a Low-Poly version of Johnny the Homicidal Maniac.

He's yet to be posed, was just trying to get the rendering down, stumbling into a few issues, biggest of which is trying to get atmosphere shadows from the volume light with either the scanline renderer or mental ray.

that's an awesome bike thatnumpty

thegodzero - cheers man, yeah i think spiky flames are in order!

arzach - ta arzach, i used zbrush - mainly the standard tool with some custom alphas, clay with a hard edged round alpha, also flatten at the earliest stages to get the planes of the face looking more or less right. Also used inflate to puff out flesh then dropped down to the second subd and reprojected to highest level to fix screwy mesh bits resulting from inflate.

[MikeF]

slowly chipping away at this piece for my portfolio, just roughing out the HUD for my cooking game mock up

Any crits welcome, It seems a bit cluttered rite now, but i've been looking at it too long so i cant tell why

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/Lexen/GUIMockupcopy.jpg

[Snader]

MikeF: because you've got stuff in every corner of the screen taking up around a quarter of the screen area in various shapes colours and styles

try getting some more balance or symmetry in there. for instance

O O


[_] [_]


could you explain what what is and their functions. also some explanation about gameplay? then i could help you a bit more effective

[MikeF]

Top left corner is time remaining in the round,
Top right is the work area selection (i.e stove top, cutting board, fridge) with the Biggest icon (in this case the cutting board) being the current selection
Bottom Left is as it says blade sharpness (effectiveness of slicing diminishes with time and use)
Bottom Right is a Tool selection radial menu with the large circle in the middle indicating the current selection

The active work area is set off to the side a bit so that other prep work can be done on the empty countertop.

Gameplay is still being thought out, because it is a mockup i'm not going all out in planning every detail, but essentially a more detailed and less warioware-ish version of cooking mama

[Baddcog]

Mike F,

I think a few things would help clean it up.

The angle on the cutting board/stove taks alot of space, and just seems messy like that to me.
Same goes for the blade sharpness. The angle kindof juts out into gameplay area, reversing that angle would help imo.
The utensile UI is alright, but maybe if it was shaped more kitchen like. Like a knife holder, or a wall magnet where everything was lined up in a row (I know the bowl doesn't fit that.)
Or maybe if everything was just on thew table and you click to use it instead of a gui?

It just seems like all 4 ui's don't match, different shapes, angles, colors.

Maybe the blade shaprness could just be a chef knife shape with the green/red fade in it and not even say knife sharpness, or only sharpness (as the meter is a knife shape it would be obvious.

[MikeF]

excellent crits, gonna go make some of those changes rite away,
The only one i'm dead set on is utensil UI, i was tinkering with the idea of just having the knife block, accessories ect... on the table, but i really want to use the rest of my table space for prep and other visual accessories, thanks Baddcog

[dejawolf]

i think it'd be cool if the cooking utensil selection was 3d, and located around the cutting plate. make them large so that they're easily clickable.
oh and a blade sharpener, which you hold and swing over to sharpen the blade!

[MikeF]

Alright, here's a bit of an update, hopefully this works a bit better.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/Lexen/Hud2.jpg

I like the symmetry of the top radials, but now i'm not really digging the sharpness meeter, maybe i'l try another radial for that one next

dejawolf: Already got the sharpening steel in there as a selectable item, just hard to see. After i've finalized the layout/style, the 2d thumbnails will be replaced with models

[Baddcog]

Wow, that was quick MikeF.

Although I do like the idea of the knife sharpness meter and think you did a good job with it I think you're right, it just doesn't match the rest of the UI well.

I think overall it's better though as everything matches and the screen seems cleared up a bit now.

Now I'm wondering about how the other stuff will display. Obviously this is the cutting board display. But it seems like maybe the cutting board should be big and the recipe small. Then you choose the recipe book and it goes to big circle... Maybe a book appears in screen in front of everything with the recipe and you have to memorize stuff to work quick.

Then the fridge comes up and has a render of fridge inside with stuff to grab?

Sorry, new game ideas get me curious.

For the Comicon comp:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v332/Jacoh/BatWip_04.jpg

[rollin]

thats fantastic jaco!!

[Vrav]

Yes, but out of random curiosity, how does the basemesh look for such a sculpt as that, Jaco? I have seen many basemeshes for heads, some are too restricting, some not defined enough, yet you seem able to build detail everywhere with relative ease.

[LEViATHAN]

Nice doodle Ferg!

For the Comicon comp:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v332/Jacoh/BatWip_04.jpg

The top/back of the ears look odd, and those two major neck muscles are too wavy.

[FAT_CAP]

That looks really cool Jaco!

You've managed to get a great amount of detailjng in there without resorting to just lumping skin pores on everything which works really well. I can't wait to see this one finished up.

[MikeF]

thanks for the feeback baddcog, good to know i'm on the rite track
The recipe book will pop up just like you described, the other locations (stove, fridge) when clicked will just rotate the camera to the left or right to reveal the rest of the work area, pretty much a shallow "u" shaped counter top

[Jaco]

Thanks guys.
Vrav, the basemesh is pretty simple, click me (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v332/Jacoh/Batbase.jpg).
Leviathan, thanks for the crit. Those parts will be covered but I'll fix them anyway, for portfolio purposes and what not.

very nice mike; perfect project for you eh? i like the 2dness or the selectable tools, it kind of gives it more artistic room, it's less stylistically limiting IMO

[sampson]

any feedback for my post on the top of this page??

[almighty_gir]

feedback - make a thread dedicated to it. however, it's just a concept, and it looks like it was done in alchemy, which makes it nothing really special.

try taking that concept, and adding to it in photoshop, make a more solid foundation, and THEN start pimping/making it a reality.

[poostayn]

http://jeffloftin.com/treasure_chest/chest_wire.jpgArrrrg! ye treasure chest.....Marmoset renderhttp://jeffloftin.com/treasure_chest/chest_render.jpg

[SHEPEIRO]

why model those details and not others?

why the extreme difference in poly density between the main shapes and the details

[poostayn]

I was just trying to keep the poly count down a bit and hoped the normal map would sell the wood and other little bits. The modeled details looked like poo in the normal map and I was forced to model them out a bit . And they are a little high in poly count because I just took the high poly versions and decimated them a bit and didn't take the time yet to model a true low poly version for them.

[SHEPEIRO]

well i would suggest spend more where the silhouette is important and let the normals do the rest
perhaps just the handle and a vague bump for the skull using some of the savings to beef up the main curves of the lid

plus nearly every game chest needs an interior

[poostayn]

I hear ya. Thanks for the advice SHEPEIRO.

[Baddcog]

You should also make sure the angles on the side of the lid come down to the bottom of the lid instead of that gold crosspiece.

But I think the tex on the chest is really good.

Wow nice cloth sculpting ivars. :)

Ok so i wanted to get into doing more 2d stuff now i have my tablet, im still really poor at it, i seem to have an awful sense of depth, but im getting a little better:

Warrior T6 armor from WoW, just love it, and had this kneeling pose in my head for ages.

Still loads to go. :)

Edit:

DrillerKiller, i love it, really clean!

Warriah, hah thats awesome! :)

[Pseudo]

Coming along great JFletcher.


Here are some props I'm working on for a small scene.
http://www.joshmast.com/random/d3b.jpg

[MikeF]

that looks great Pseudo, what's your process for the wood grain? (i'm assuming thats mudbox and not zbrush rite?)

[Pseudo]

Its Zbrush with the mudbox mat cap shader.

I start by carving in the deep indents with the standard brush then pinching those, and then I use the clay tubes brush with a square alpha and run it along the pieces of wood following the grain.

Then follow that up with the flatten brush on any wood grain that is out of place.

[MoP]

mat, elementrix, warriah, drillerkiller, pseudo: awesome!

wow thank you very much for your kind words guys, appreciate it :)

warriah - luigi sculpt has lots of character already. moustache is class
neox - hehe actually just created it for fun, mr.freeze is in the works for real entry
drillerkiller - nice head shape and features in that sculpt, does have that kane and lynch look to it
ivars - clothing looks good, just practicing cloth sculpting? wouldnt mind see it with a different shader however
jfletcher - nice start on concept painting, shall be interesting to see where you go
pseudo - you definately got the wood look ingrained :)
mop - that crown looks aces

started another piece last night just for fun ...

[aesir]

pfft we all know who he is. Looks excellent, for the most part. The face is a touch on the scary side for me atm. Needs to look more like a smart ass kid. head might also be a couple percent too small imo.

ps.: In this one I´ve tested new tools: a brush (a real one) to finish the linework with ink, and ArtRage as a Photoshop replacement. Painted in Sai, as always.

[Tumerboy]

HA HA Mat that's awesome, but I agree, he's too old. If you want to age him, make it really apparent, give him a Bonk! gut & such.

Mop, that gold shader is gorgeous man!

Pseudo, your wood looks great! (eta: yes, I said that.)

Oh, and it's Lobster Johnson for the Comicon Challenge, in case you didn't know.

[arlrex]

wheres the vegetation?

Was only told to put bamboo on it, no shrubbery or things of that sort.

[Muzz]

Nice job eric! Be careful of the skin on the second girl, the specular are too tight making it apppear plasticy.
Also try not to always use the crutch of colourising a greyscale pic, if you want to learn colour properly you need to get your hands dirty and use straight colours.

Gremlin dog thing from a sketch in my sketchbook. Not to happy with my sculpting skills as of yet :/.
He will be a bit fluff but i didnt want to put that in the normal map so i left that relativley undetailed.

lol Kurt, that's awesome. I don't know what it is, but I like it.

You should make it so if I drop them from a height the die in a small pixelated splosion of blood.

[eric.]

Thanks guys!

Hey Muzz, thanks for the crit. I know the way I was coloring isnt the best way to go, I just suck at it. Im gonna get myself into that later :)

As for your sculpting; dont know if you know this but always work on the lowest level possible. I mean, get all the big shapes down first, then move on to less big shapes and so on. That way your mesh will be, hopefully, a bit smoother. (that is if you use the smooth tool alot also) :)

commander_keen, that makes no sense! WHAT ARE THEY DOING THERE!? WHY!? pretty cute though :)

[Noia]

Hi guys! I'm fairly new to this site and finding my bearings, so I wanted to share.

This is some unfinished concept work for my 3D model. The concept revolves around an arms race between corporations. This robot is mostly made of a black matte material with some shinier bits here and there. This provides a stealthy camouflage in the shadows, or while scaling a skyscraper at night. The arms may also snap and retract into guns.

I'm still debating on how to approach the face. Or to give it a face at all. Either way, it would need to be awesome.

http://lnwilson.com/images/sketchbook/assassin.jpg

[Muzz]

got him retopoed and started a rough texture. But i think ill go back to the sculpt and do a propper job. I got way to ahead of myself. ABout 900 tris

These Comicon entries are looking great so far guys.

I've been working on this environment in my spare time, which there isn't much of these days :(

Still loads to do as it's really empty, been having problems with the grass though. I'm using UE3 foliage volumes at the moment but I don't think it sits right. Might just be the colour of the grass.

[Tumerboy]

Carlo_c, I don't think the grass itself looks bad, just it's distribution. It's far too even. It should be a bit patchier, with clumps at odd intervals going down the wall, and some should be taller/shorter than the others. It also feels like it would have extended out into the cracks in the main path more.

Dumper, are you sure that's not the front of a giant semi? That's all I see when I look at it.

I worked up some thumbnails a little more. Kind of glitch in the system/virus type guys:

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

[mikezoo]

@Nick Carver: Those are some fun thumbnails Nick, I really like how you presented them.

@tacit math: I love the turn around. Really shows us the shapes. Is this for the comicon challenge? what character is it? reminds me of omaga red.

I haven't thrown anything up here in awhile, so here a head sculpt. Anything love or hate? Preferably hate, so I can improve it?

AimBiZ...Mondo Gecko? He looks great, nice work.

@ Nick Carver - I love 'em!

Christ... The artwork on ZackF's sword and AimBiz'z reptile just bring a tear to my eye...

It shocks me we still don't really see this level of polish in games these days... Hands up anybody who actually wouldn't buy a game on release that looked visually as attractive as those...

Great going guys, I salute you.

[rollin]

AimBiZ

would be cool if he had a more yellowish skin like in one of your colour-previews

and the glass of the googles could look more reflective.. evtl with a cubemap

like the character still a lot!

good work

Here's some very early wip on my entry for the monster comp at Sinister Circle. I've gone for a kind of steam-powered Frankenstein's monster. I've taken a few cues from the De Niro version in the awful Kenneth Branagh film and added some stuff of my own. I roughed out the basic forms and painted over a cap from Zbrush in Photoshop. I'm still trying to decide how overt I want the whole steampunk/clockwork aspect to be, but I can try things out in Zbrush pretty easily.

@Keen - that's pretty awesome. I think building something on a larger scale (where things actually happen procedurally / in an emergent way) this is every AI programmers dream. Would certainly be cool to let it 'run' and check in on it after a week. Cool stuff, thanks for sharing.

I'd hit it.

This is from a month back, it was modeled around Leon S. Kennedy's bone setup as a character replacement in RE4. Texturing isn't finished around the beltloops, the sidepack, or the bottom of the boots.
The polycount goal was to be under 5k (which is actually half of leons polycount because of the insane amount of polys they dumped into his hair)

Made some progress on a pistol model of my own design.

I gotta redo the grip and trigger group, it's all messed up.

n88tr (http://boards.polycount.net/member.php?u=25527) Work on the hardness of your edges, everything feels very soft, and not metallic.

Website layout for my student game :).

[rollin]

I've updated my toon/comic shader (now v0.5)

- rebuild the rimlight based on my tf2 v0.21 shader
- fixed some bugs
- added more tuning options, esp. the ramp can now be easier controlled.
- added ambient cube map support

you can download it here
again.. only tested in max 8 / 2008 (32bit)

DOWNLOAD v0.5 (http://blog.maginot.eu/dl.php?v=A15B01X101)

rollin, that looks awesome :D

Muzz, very nice design :)

[PieJesu]

rollin - Sweet shader, looks like it can produce some very stylised results.

[arlrex]

Awesome, thanks rollin

[AimBiZ]

Cool stuff rollin!

Been revisiting an old basemesh for a male body. The goal right now is to pimp it up with a nice topology and definition of ears and basic musclegroups so there won't be any sculpting required for that.
After that I will make a female version of the it and start on a character I've had plans for for a while now.

Still a long way to go. Please feel free to comment the shapes. Topology is stilla kind of a mess.

Another one, just a quicky.

I freakin love your style RobG, its something about the colors and forms that makes your stuff look so illustrative. The art you got there for sale, is it painted and the printed on canvas or is the work digital then printed?

[larolaro]

Thanks, my work is all digital. The majority of the things in my shop are archival matte prints.

[Veko]

Rob is that done with Illustrator, or are you using good old Photoshop ?

[larolaro]

Yep, just Potatoshop. I suck at vectors.

[Tumerboy]

great work as always Rob!

[Slum]

As much as I love your new stuff, I miss some of the art you had on your old site. I bought that bamboo bird print, but I remember seeing a few others I liked as well :)

[MattBradley]

Love the style Rob, great work.

[Dematics]

Quick sci-fi prop I'm currently working on. Final will be high poly for normal baking. It's my first time trying...let's hope it turns out alright for me :)

The last one there I tried to make fully-functional with moving slide and cut out the backplate by the hammer, trying to make a hybrid I guess. I hollowed out the pistol grip so I could put in the magazine. It's harder than I thought to make a animation-friendly weapon. I did better than I thought I could but it still turned out pretty bad.

Today gonna try for quantity items, work on my skills by making some cutlery. Revenge of the spork!!11

[hetsch]

RobG: Mind putting up a video of you painting something? Quite interested in how you go about those fine lines etc. - I mean, it's so clean... how do you do that without resorting to vectors?
