Finished rendering this modular store model for a big scene i am working on which include the door and the archway i finished. I am looking to make a claustrophobic looking alley with a victorian era look with older elements in the scenery. The storefront model i made will have a gloomy but basic look to it with decorative props i can use to dress up different variants of the same model.

[Rens]

My wakeing up process.
A big cup of coffee and some hours of smuding around with some oil paint each morning or so.

40 x 30 canvas*

Bad photo but im not going to fuzzm around with lights for an hour just to get a wipshot

[monkeyboy_garth]

Rens, you have a game-boner the likes of I have never seen before!

[Holi]

Spacey: It remind me the good ol' "the day of the tentacle" character art, I love it!
Bk: thx dude!

[Rens]

:D

[HAL]

Ahh thanks JFletcher, didn't see that directly :O

Anyway I reworked the grip area so the rubber grip stuff integrates better into the plastic

(I am fully aware of those ambient occ floater stuff's shadows )

http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z106/SoullanceHAL/gipp.jpg

Ah yeah this is how it looked before the upgrade :/

http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z106/SoullanceHAL/finish2.jpg

[urgaffel]

I havn't done anything with ps/max for a while so it's time to start again. This is the result of messing around with some photos brushes and other stuff (spent most time painting that lava). I'm not going to make it tile, this is just a test. I think I'm going to try to make a normalmap with the ps filter and make a spec map. Never made a normal map and spec map before :)

Try Crazybump instead of the nvidia normalmap filter. Usually gives you better results

[Vitor]

Thanks for the suggestions. Some improvements:

[ScoobyDoofus]

Vitor, I think this animated fix maybe addresses what people were talking about regarding the tip of the nose.

[JFletcher]

Looks awesome Rens, damn you really love Halo. :)

Ok, so im trying to paint a concept for a sort of fat, orcish warlord, getting a little bit better with my tablet naw!! :)

http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/240/warlordwip.jpg (http://img170.imageshack.us/i/warlordwip.jpg/)

Probably should have started with the face, heh. Will show more soon. Also going to make the body less bland, add some tattoos, straps etc etc.

edit:

Cool stuff on this page so far!

OOHHH YUHHH SPACY! Throwin' down I see :P

Love the character, love the pose!

Haha Spacey, awesome little dude ! :)

kaskad i know you have me beat, but here was my effort anyway, i didnt probably spend as much time as you

http://i29.tinypic.com/2im584z.jpg

[JO420]

How do you guys feel about the color selection as well as color placement to my model. I was looking around victorian architecture and the way color is placed on wooden elements corresponds with how i am doing it but i wonder if theres too much going on and the detail will be lost.

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2467/3823031600_7856f3d6a1.jpg

[Renaud Galand]

cool stuff guys !

Made a retopo of the head and started defining more (colors are just place holder)

http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q48/Guntharf/orc_wip2.jpg

[MoP]

JO420, I think that's fine, the small gold trims are definitely very Victorian, although I would lighten up the red a bit, it's so dark you can't see any of the larger forms or details.

Great characters Renauld and Spacey!

Been working on this guy. It's going to be some kind of forest guardian with a minion eventually

Oh man, that looks great.

[HAL]

Okey update on that suit after jetmoto and some other stuff :O

[larolaro]

Awesome Renaud.

[n88tr]

@Fat

Looks like the character from Pan's Labyrinth

@Hal

Reminds me of the Crysis suit but a bit more ropey... what sort of design were you going for?

[HAL]

Well it's some kind of practice piece and evolving constantly I guess.

Oh yeah inspiration was molotov/crysis kind of obvious ^^

[JFletcher]

More ran-dumb sculpting. This time about 2.5-3 hours. Gotta get faster.

[JFletcher]

Looks very nice Doofus, i especially like how his left eyebrow is down as if he's saying "Say Whaaaat?"

I should practice some head sculpts, haven't done any in ages D:

Lovely work on that last page.
I finally finished something!

[Ruz]

mvelasquez - looks great. love the trousers

[Davision3D]

awesome mvelasquez!
Just he pose looks weird, should it look like shes jumping? Maybe bend it less to the back and do more with the arms then. Hair would also look much better if it goes with the motion.

[woogity]

woaah nice stuff Mvelasquez!

like the white trim on the pants. yea the pose is strange but somehow fitting for the character, she has wierd poses like that in the show, might wanna pick another for the folio tho


-Woog

trying to finish everything else before going into the drivetrain.
Got a question though - see the circled areas? It's a square face blending into a cylinder. How do I set the smoothing groups for it? Tried a bunch of stuff but none of them seem to look right.

[Davision3D]

I did a test with sculpting a creature mesh out of spore.
This is how it looked in spore:
http://www.vitamin3d.com/bilder/Stabilolo2.jpg
and to this i sculpted it:
http://www.vitamin3d.com/bilder/sporetest.jpg
(texture is not changed)

At first i thought it would be a mess to sculpt because its tris only but just for a speedsculpt or a concept it works ok. It needs to be sculpted in a quiet high sdiv to get less messy details though.
These lines on the arms, that look detailing, are there because of the tris and the resulting mess of a meshflow. Another thing is that only the arms, legs and body are one connected mesh. Hands and feets and all other things are just sticked in it meshes

And yeah he has a gun down there. ;)

[TheMadArtist]

Awesome work mvelasquez, nice to see it turn out so well!

[ParoXum]

Imported the stuff in Unreal and started playing with lights :

I have no idea how to work with UE3.
Is that lightmaps? Or dynamic lightning inside UE3?

coming along nice ged

been doing some old skool stuff on my old skool computer
you can probably see where i have been reworking this.
1100 tris - 256x256 texture for body and head

http://www.mikerusby.com/images/yelloowron.jpg

not bad for an 87 year old

[gaganjain]

GED that beast is looking nice
old skool kool post some close shot...
mvelasquez Is that low-poly with normal map or high poly...

How do you rip characters from spore?

Not enough progress on the textures to show yet.

The detail on that light map is incredible. Is that baked in?

[tanka]

I'm working on a Ninja Turtle (Donatello) Although I plan on converting the mesh to the others aswell, if all goes to plan.

Here's my base mesh so far:

http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/7824/basemeshwip.jpg

I haven't worked on a character in ages! In fact, I haven't made a next-gen style game character before. I'm a little bit torn on the direction I should take him. I want to sculpt in very angular forms, sort of like that Yakuza thing somebody posted a while back. However, I think a turtle is a subject that screams for organic shapes.. I'm really keen on the angular forms though, the character designs in the new TMNT cartoons are very angular, so it isn't too far fetched.

More to come I guess.

[|Buddy|]

The detail on that light map is incredible. Is that baked in?

I think it's lightmap bake and stencil/dynamic shadows in the editor viewport on top of it.

[ParoXum]

Bitmap, Hawken: It's only lightmaps, a 4096 one *cough*

http://uppix.net/6/3/3/b428b4fcbf26fad725dab4abadee6.jpg

I still have to fix geometry to remove the lighting artifacts (straights lines in the meshes) to be better.

The three directionals are for sun, sky left, sky front, and to keep shadowing inside the house I only enable shadows for the main lights bounces. Mostly the ones which are on the ground. It's far to be a perfect technique but it looks ok :p

[Ged]

thanks ruz and gaganjain I might make a lowpoly and see if I can learn to bake polypaint to texture as I have never done that properly yet.

[Davision3D]

How do you rip characters from spore?

Its a feature in the new patch. Here is a tutorial:

pull a mirror x flip on that guy though... looks like you have some skewing errors from good ole' handedness

[JFletcher]

Wow... yeah its totally fucked up when mirrored..

dang..thanks for the tip, will definitely keep flippin' in the future. D:

[Slum]

You can make an action in photoshop that flips, then bind that to a key. suuuper useful.

hey man what did you use to render this?

[ivars]

Testbake

Aiming for 8-10k tris for the whole thing.
http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/5975/hhgwip06.jpg

[aesir]

I like the folds a lot for the most part ivars. I do think there are a few too many folds bursting from the crotch area though.

[Yngram]

n88tr: you might want to take a closer look at some real world rifle designs, specifically the breech/bolt size and position. You mentioned that you adjusted the size of the magazine to fit the bullets, but the breech needs to be larger so the shell casings can be ejected as well. Also it should probably be positioned more directly over the magazine since bullets usually feed straight into the chamber and are then pushed forward by the bolt.

[chris89]

Like the other guys posted, this was for a competition on another forum.
Had to rush the lowpoly and texture, but i got it done just in time.

That Dracula looks fooking ace! :) can't fault it what so ever.

little something I'm brewing up for the low poly thread, 344 tris, 512x256 texture, partially photosourced (lights) and currently finishing up the texture and possibly whack a spec map on if I know the Iphone can handle it. Might chat with my coder buddy and see if he wants to get it in game.... mmmmm cossie drifts...

Holy Jebus, kite, that's beautiful. Excellent work. His right shoulder kinda bugs me, though; it seems like it's dislocated. Pulling it up just a teensy it would probably fix that.

[killingpeople]

amazing kite!

[bounchfx]

kite that is flat out fuckawesome

[Sandro]

Dracula sculpt is the win. Very dynamic pose and cloth is absolutely brilliant!

[Holi]

brilliant sculpt, but I think the pose may be more hieratic :)

[JasonLavoie]

Fantastic work Kite!

[conte]

came out perfect, Andy!

[Frump]

It's awesome, but it reminds me of the thriller dance, and I can't unsee it.

Almost done fletcher, looking great. o.<d

[Renaud Galand]

Nice job everyone !

kite : WOW. trully fantastic model here !

adamlewis : love your last design. Very fleshy ! :-)

Did a bit of progress. I still need to refine alot of areas, though. I'm gonna try to polypaint the most I can when the modeling is done.

That´s beautiful renaud.

[ImSlightlyBored]

yo adamlewis make sure you get a bit more depth of field on that, I can almost see something in focus

other than that it looks nice!

[fonfa]

damn kite! if you made a tutorial on how you made that dracula i'd love you forever

[DrillerKiller]

!!!!kite!!!!. when are you going to get your site up and running?

[MartinH]

I'm sure Kites site in its current state has a secret entrance somewhere. I've poured hours of skillfull hacking to get access but with no result!

>:(

[2cool4school]

Wowzers Kite and Renaud. Some amazing sculpting skills there. Still need some free time to play in Mudbox.

These are some cheesey western themed symbols I'm working on at work. Kinda fun doing stuff like this. But yeah, super cheese.

KITE you kill me man. You nailed the pose and likeness, That is amazing.
RENAUD! that is beautiful man! if you are printing it you might want to make the feathers a bit thicker, but that's all I got man.

Hi, this is my first post here, i've been working with MAX for a long time, as a hobby, so nothing really fancy or anything

I tried my first medium, high poly model based on blizzard's upcoming Diablo 3 game, the Redknuckle Hound, I would like to take it to Zbrush or something after that ( never used Zbrush dhough )

Some C&C would be appriciated

Learnt alot more about ps painting with this one, i think you can even see a learning curve in the image, the arms being where i started, and in general, the legs where i got a bit more used to things.. :) (or maybe i just bothered to zoom in more? lol)

Still alot to learn... next time i'll try to avoid those skewing errors :D

[retleks]

A character from one of my favorite books. Severian. Still pretty early.

http://www.dreamcolumn.com/retleks/Sev_wip1.jpg

[aesir]

haha, not a fan of the books really, but nice job on the character. Maybe a little too current/goth right now. I'd imagine he was a much dirtier dude with all of his camping out.

[Sandro]

Really cool model retleks, cloth is spot on, very lifelike.

Not sure about cape, looks a bit rigid.

[PieJesu]

-snip-


You might want to note that the right side of the character is larger than the left, and from this perspective, it looks wrong. The right arm looks very depressed and lower than it should be.

[Bryan Cavett]

pretty cool retleks!

[konstruct]

damnit ben that shit is reaaally nice.

[JasonLavoie]

Heeey it's Ben, its nice to see some of your personal work again :) Hows it going man?

I think I'm getting better. Slowly getting better.

Helmet for a near-future soldier. Torso is next.

The renderer is doing most of the work, not me though :d. Haven't subdivided it yet. I prefer working from a mid to high to low so I can flesh it out and see what needs to be altered.

Nice work guys :)

The normals look wrong for at thetop of the machine, looks like a seam visible at the left and right.

Funky ATM though. Looks like it comes from a nasty part of town.

Hey
I`m new to this forum, So first of all Helo to every one:]
This is the model I`ve been working on for some time. It`s one of my first low polys I`ve ever made. I`d like to hear what`s your opinion abou it.
best regards

The normals look wrong for at thetop of the machine, looks like a seam visible at the left and right.

Funky ATM though. Looks like it comes from a nasty part of town.

Also, the red rim around the cancel button appears cut off a bit at the bottom. Some of the features like the keypad are off center too.

ah yeah seen that now, its probably the specular map seams easily fixed, its for a mod where spirit based aliens destroy part of LA and its an LA ticket machine. Red edge can be fixed thx, Keypads annoying cause it should be in a little hole but I kept it all so low poly that I didnt add the hole, bad idea on my part.

[stoofoo]

Excellent work, kite.

Needs more depth blur!

I can almost see the model!

=P
Seriously though, seems to be crackin. Nice work. Maybe a little less filtering though? A SMIDGE?

[adamlewis]

Guys, guys - more blur = more realism. :P

I'll try to tone it down next time. The filters are addicting though!

[Ruz]

Ged the metal looks abit weird overall. can't out my finger on it, but perhaps the scratches seem to big for the size of the machine or it could just be the slight pillow emboss which i find distracting.

More random crap I'm up to, some sort of bat-vampire sculpted from a(n apparently lopsided) cube, only to level 6 (feels good) now retopologized for further sculpting, but only sculpting; that basmesh is like 2112 tris, though it can eventually be simplified for the low. bla bla, totally not of even poly distribution everywhere, maybe some generic forms, all in the name of practice & experimentation.

Here's my turtle sculpt so far.. I need to add on some more details, but the character itself is mostly done.

There's a bit of pinching at the back of the shell.. I probably should have expected that, but oh well.

Thoughts?

Thought of doing a vehicle and stated with that tank from the first gits movie :O

Still very wip though

[Tumerboy]

nice start Tanka! I think he's a bit top heavy. I think of the turtles as being a bit more well rounded

I really liked the style of the turtles in the last (3d animated) movie:
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/11349/tmnt%20full%20size%20cgi.jpg
http://z.about.com/d/kidstvmovies/1/0/X/7/tmnt011.jpg

I like how lean they feel, while still retaining their turtleness.

I feel like the new animated show has them as a little too buff. But the style is still better than the old show:

Agreed, great work man.

[Neo_God]

Tons of outrageously good work in this thread! I'm super impressed with the rise in quality around here.

Anyway, I have not been working too much on 3d stuff, however I just dipped my fingers into ZB again.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v305/Neo_God/Mutant.jpg

Here's a mutant head, I figure it's something like a merchant, designed on the same vein of the whole Rage/Borderland desert post-apocalypse style. I'm thinking of expanding on a body, so we'll see what happens with that.

[tanka]

@Electro, that's funny man. It sucks though, it looks like you're going to upstage my turtle. :P

@TumerBoy, When I posted my Base mesh earlier I was tossing up between making the turtle like the new film, or more like the cartoon. I opted for more like the cartoon, and actually a bit more like something you'd see in the new Clone Wars cartoon. I really like that angular look, and I wanted to do something different to what we've already seen in the turtles in 3d.

He is a bit top heavy though, I like the proportions up top though. I might make the legs a bit bigger, I think that will balance it out.

Been forgetting to post this one in here. Almost done with all the modeling, just need to figure out where am I gonna put this one for a setting. Suppose to be an abandoned store that a cheap-stake bough and made into a tavern. Still deciding which parts are going to be new, walls and the ceiling usually last longer so probably just gonna be the doors that are new and the sign.

Mere hours after the unveiling of Cataclysm the concept art really got to me, and now im drawing a worgen of my own, coming along nicely, trying to not make the same skewing errors i made with the last one, and taking on the shapes a bit more carefully:

// EDIT 3: Image Removed //

[Havok]

Looking good, Jon. One thing though is that with the torso you currently have and the pose you have planned for the feet, I feel that he should be standing upright, kind of like he is confident. Either way, looks sweet :).

[HntrLuc]

Looking good everyone!

Started working on a next gen model of Marc (bluefley) Brunet's http://www.cghub.com/images/view/23225/page:1 "Blanche" character.
Here's the zbrush with a bit of hasty polypaint.

http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/6376/blanchewip.jpg

[SuPa-]

That looks awesome so far, HntrLuc! Great job as translating Brunet's concept into 3D

[Swizzle]

That's pretty freaking sweet, HntrLuc. I absolutely love the face. You captured the style extremely well. I'd suggest thickening up her limbs just a teensy bit; she's got slightly chunkier, curvy proportions in the concept.

[Ferg]

hah that's awesome neo god

edit: you too HntrLuc

Wow, you really got the transition from 2d to 3d, HntrLuc. Sick job!

[Rens]

Ashley,

try and play alot with the levels in your maps, its a great start, but its not living up to what it can be. I am a bit confused about what is your spec and what is your diffuse, but
The spec is way too shiney on the bricks, so level those to a much darker shade.

I like some detail in the normalmap, but you might want to control those better, make them softer around the wood or door, and really let the bricks have it!

And yeah, keep an eye on how you place the dirt spots and specialy the scratches and damage. Right now the white frame around the door ahs some really hard damage, wich is done by? sure the damage can be there, but in a light form maybe.

Some more colors maybe? :D


go for it!

[Ferg]

[fonfa]

Hey Ashley, check this tutorial out:
http://forums.mapcore.net/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=6806&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a
It's an easy and quick way of generating normal maps for flat surfaces. Results
are WAY better than using the nvidia plugin like you did.

The final result is alright but I'm concerned about your texture space.
First of all, you could've used a tiling texture for the wall. There's no way a
game will have unique textures for every single wall. Think modular.
That metal plate on the bottom part of the door... Why is it set apart from
the door on the UV? And the scale is off too. Door and plate should be a single
piece of geometry and a single shell on the UV.
What's up with that big yellow thing on the diffuse map? Is it those yellow
strips on the door frame? Should be painted on the door frame then, same thing
as the door.
That thingie by the window got a huge part of the UV. It's gonna feel weird for
sure. The texture resolution difference between them will be too big.
Where's the green box on your UV?

And yeah, everything feels too shiny. You should put such bright specular on just
a few pieces of it, to draw players' attention. Damage feels random and unnatural.
And IMO you should paint the 7 bottom brick rows a different color. Would make it
much more interesting.

@ Kodiak

Those segments look great, and very nice texturing style, i think it could benefit from some larger scale wear, and possibly make the bevels harder, and much larger in scale, the pieces/bricks seem to nicely snug together, if you dont mind, here's a paintover:
