[P&P] - What Are You Working On? 2009 Edition!

[Disco Stu]

lips look wrong post some sideviews so we can see. seems like upper and lower are one

Some Luger action!
Making it for one game/mod.

Hope I haven't got too far with specular or dirt. Somehow looks a bit darker than in my perspective view. 'Rigged' it a bit so you can slide it open. Forgot to model the magazine though. :P

[Marine]

martin, i'd put a few more edges in to the finger guard thingy, it's very angular compared to the rest

[martinszeme]

Yup was considering it myself. Now that other notice it will try to smooth it out.
Forgot to post tri-count - 1995. After I change some stuff it will be a bit over that.

[e-freak]

i think you can lose a few polys on the grip it self - it will be covered by the player's hand anyway and on the rather flat surface of the grip a good normal will do the whole effect as well.

messing with some hair stuff in UDK
http://www.mikerusby.com/images/hairy.gif

oddly enough i prefer the 1 bit alpha. keeps more of the volume

http://www.mikerusby.com/images/hairy1.gif

[Hitez]

Agree'd, maybe try an inbetween, and lower the top layer of hair closer to the rest of it just a tad?

[FAT_CAP]

:O You can have working multi bit alpha on characters in UDK?

Is that a standard shader or one you made yourself as when I was working with UE3 multi-bit alpha on characters was a no-go. The top version looks great but it looks like the outer planes aren't sorting properly - getting rid of them and pushing the planes underneath out a bit to keep the volume would look spot on.

[Ruz]

I was going to ask the same thing FAT_CAP. Its seems they may have added something to make multi bit alpha work better re sorting. not sure if it is really expensive still( probably)

made the shader myself basic shader with anisotropic lighting model and a fresnel falloff, but that doesn't really add too much to it TBH

Hitez - yeah gotta tighten up the top layers a bit. this was my first real success with hair. i have got a pretty good handle on it now, though its still a pain:)

[ThatDon]

got a chance to throw down some clay on that zsphere sketch. It's pretty rough, needs love, but it's turkey day so not today :P

[Jonas Ronnegard]

BHJ: that's a really nice concept to be working from, great start. btw where do people get all blizzard concepts from, i have been looking around before, but i rarely find more then a couple, is there a place where they are all archived?

if i should criit on the work u have done so far, i would say play more with the highs and lows on the roof, i would probably end up doing that when im allmost finished though.

[BHJ]

They usually have an artwork section on the relevant game sites:

Looking good BHJ, can't wait to see it textured.

[garagarape]

Done!
I added the slight rain effect
and also twicked the contrast a bit in Photoshop.
Next, I wanna do something techno like a base in deep sea.
Wonder when.

pretty cool plane dejawolf looking forward to seeing it textured

nice painting Painbringer

yeah few more hair tests. TBH its more about make the shape of the hair look cool for me.
If the alpha stuff works then thats a bonus. oh the joys of not having to worry about how expensive stuff is:)

Painbringer you rawk! - my main and only qualm with the picture is that, even though hes walking, it still feels slighly off balance to the left \. Apart from that its lookin badass. Minor toitle update from moi. http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h91/Jackwhat/1128bewktoitle.jpg

[ScudzAlmighty]

worked on the lips, and everything else too:

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b236/mrsunfish/KED_Osiris_03.jpg

[Jaco]

Scudz try pulling the tear duct back in the side view, that area also needs to conform to the eyeball.

[Ruz]

Ruz buddy ol pal... PLEASE grace us with a hair texturing tutorial :P

yeah no probs. I am still working on the best way to to do this for myself.
The basic method is there now and its nothing really new, but with my own spin on it.

I will try and post something soon

[adamlewis]

Scudz: It's good to see you're dropping down to a lower level to concentrate on some of the main forms. That will help you out a lot. Along with what Jaco said about the eye shape, the head appears a bit too long from the side view - it might help to push the ear and jawline forward more. Also, the face is a bit lumpy in some places. Using the flatten brush at a low intensity is one good way to refine a sculpture's surface.

Did an African female head study over last night and this morning. I was trying out a different technique than what I normally use, sculpting the head almost exclusively with Mudbox's wax brush and a few different falloff settings.

http://adamvfx.com/images/wip/african1.jpg

[raiskul]

adamlewis - looks like the female version of one of my cousins and seeing as I am African American I guess that means good job lol

couple crits make the indent between the nose and mouth smaller and the indent at the side of the brow is bugging me not sure if it needs to be lengthened for a smoother transition or made shallower seeing as her brow isn't protruding all that much

[Ruz]

http://www.mikerusby.com/images/statue1.jpg
http://www.mikerusby.com/images/statue2.jpg

lol I did the base meshes for some statues in assassins.
did about five in the end including darius ie I built the models, but not the zbrushing
apart from darius where I did most of it.

[Swizzle]

You're off to a good start, Scudz, but there's more yet to do if you want to make him look like Osiris from Tropic Thunder.

I did a paintover to help illustrate—I hope you don't mind. I used this picture (http://www.filmofilia.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/robertdjr.jpg)as reference. The paintover certainly isn't perfect, but I hope it helps.

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y29/xkostolny/osirispaintover.jpg

- The eyes are currently too wide and not round enough. Bringing the tear ducts towards the center of the eyes will help.

- The bags under his eyes are too strong right now. Robert Downey Jr. just has a small amount of extra flesh on the lower eyelid and most of the rest of the eye area is smooth except for fine lines.

- He needs slightly more flesh added to the upper eyelid.

- The nasolabial fold needs to be much more vertical.

- He doesn't have the kind of cheekbone definition you've given him in his cheeks. His cheeks are fairly smooth.

- The character in the movie has the area just under his nose shaved and then hair on the rest of his upper lip for a pencil mustache kind of effect.

- Your model's sideburns don't come far enough forward on the cheeks.

- The wrinkle you've given him on his nose seems a bit too close to the bridge, so moving it up might not be a bad idea.

- The nose on your model is strangely shaped, as if the nostrils are puffy or something. Reexamine the shape of the nostrils.

- The area between the edge of the lower lip and where the chin starts to curve out seems too puffy on your model, so I'd suggest bringing it in a bit.

[funshark]

Painbringer > Hey nice! I love your idea of re-concepting old games!

Looks great pixelmasher, where are you working these days? Are they hiring? Haw haw.

[ScudzAlmighty]

adamlewis and Jaco: thanks for the feedback guys, you are correct!

Swizzle: dude yoou're my hero, the paintover is awesome. trying to get it to look like Jr with the makeup as well is a bitch, this (http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b236/mrsunfish/Osiris.jpg) is the main pic i used, but i've got a dozen other high res ones and it really seemed to me like the masses were different in different light, :poly141:
I think the head may need to be more round, but i can't quite tell, anyway... upz!

[frubes]

Been working on this in my lunchbreaks at work. Its the first time i have delved into zbrush and only my second head as im an environment artist so crits are more than welcome!

I thought i would also give a pimp to the new eat3d zbrush head tutorial. I have used the same workflow even though the heads are completely different and i must say it makes zbrush super easy to pick up.

[rollin]

nice one neox.. put her into airborn, I say again. There has to be an desert Island for sure :)

but I havn't found a real use for polypaint yet (for character work)
I costs a lot of time and it costs even more time to convert the outcome for texture work. So do you have any tricks / time savers or is this just for fun?

[wasker]

arrangemonk; Pretty much everything in the 2d department of 3d but the knowledge can also be useful when lighting scenes and building shaders.

Working on a Scene for a University assignment :). There are some errors I need to get around to fixing (paper and the wall sign being fully illuminated) and alot of the props need to be replaced with updated versions (such as the pipes/door)..so lots to do! The scene is rendered in the UDK.

[Ruz]

rollin,I find polypaint very handy for making a base colour for my overlays.
I start my textures with the polypaint base, then overlay my default photo texture head at about 50 percent.

Hi Joopson,

I would paint lighting into your textures. It looks really flat right now.

[GCMP]

Nice work ScudzAlmighty!
MikeF, the env is nice but the white pillars vs the walls don't match for me. If the pillars were tiled too that would be cool.

new render/specular/area filter at 1.0 instead of 1.5 <thanks Sage:poly136:!

Joopson, loving it so far, maybe get some more color variation in the planks? :)

Ok since playing MW2 ive wanted to make a soldier, i dont often do a lot of modern characters so i thought this would be fun, as while im at it, i'm trying to create the same armor/clothing instead of just making shit up all the time.

http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/647/soldierhigh.jpg (http://img6.imageshack.us/i/soldierhigh.jpg/)

Very very early, the only thing I've really settled on is the MTV flak vest, if anyone could provide any good reference to the gear used by the USMC i'd very much appreciate it. (specifically boots...and knee pads? not all seem to have them but i don't want the character to be super bland)

Also (when i get to texturing this) going to shape the fuck up and start using marmoset. (all my previous work just looks terrible in it)

don't get down on your self. hard surface modeling is definitely not an easy thing to learn. Be sure to check out Racer's awesome tutorials... http://racer445.com/ - if your still learning, check the very first one - Intro to Sub-D Modeling (http://cg.tutsplus.com/tutorials/3d-art/an-introduction-to-subdivision-high-poly-modeling-tools-and-techniques/)

[WesleyTack]

I know this is going to sound over critical. But man, i would never use those for my bike. ;)

What do you mean? The total triangle count is rack + bikes, not just for the bikes separate, and they were made quickly/generic, I just want them to help fill the overall environment, which for me is more important to get done :)

The tires do look a bit thin, will see to fix that :)

[ander]

For a three minute short movie - given subject "time and emptyness", so whats better suited than space and timetravel!

Here's the spaceship/timemachine

http://anderavila.planet.ee/meedia/vaatleja.jpg


Hah, Valandar - a bit of clarification. This is the packed version, half of the movie is about this ship, unpacking and from the middle, a smaller ship will travel through the "gate" in front.

http://anderavila.planet.ee/meedia/vaatleja2.jpg

[Valandar]

Wow, I thought it was a minigun at first. There's no real sense of scale... and is that the back engine we're looking at, or the front "wave motion gun" type thing?

Other than that, it's definitely an interesting shape, love to see how it looks when it's finished.

I think the reason he is saying that is because the way you have the bikes locked onto the racks is through the front tire with a U-lock. The front tire is easy to remove from a bike, therefore these bikes are very vulnerable to theft. Perhaps amend a cable lock going through the frame to make it look more convincing.

Edit, just realized you have a tire missing a frame there, so obviously you knew this. oops:poly142:

[LoTekK]

Definitely awesome. I like the yellow, but I doubt it'll come out that well in print; the red would be more striking. Values-wise, just crank the contrast some, I think, especially for a business card-sized print.

Thanks guys :D.

Liking that radial pattern overlay, I think the black text sort of gets a bit lost over the red compared to the white in your name but it could just be me. I do like the overall design though :)

On a side note, was working on this on off in my spare time last week. Just wanted to see what I could remember in Mental Ray so dug up an old model, did a tiny bit of modelling and rendered. Was going to work more on it but I'd rather start a new project.

http://anderavila.planet.ee/meedia/vaatleja.jpg


Hah, Valandar - a bit of clarification. This is the packed version, half of the movie is about this ship, unpacking and from the middle, a smaller ship will travel through the "gate" in front.

[LoTekK]

muzz, depending on the type of printing you go with, the white text may not be such a good idea. Unless you get the text spot-laminated or something, it'll get kinda lost against the print. Then again, I suppose you could have the entire thing in gloss. Black would still show up better, though.

and yeah, that radial overlay's pretty sexy.

[Muzz]

Yeah i agree, ive gotten rid of the white text on the info side, and ill see what i can do about the main sides white text :/.

Actually what i usually do is make a sheet of versions and print that first, and choose which version looks best in print

Slowly learning hi-poly
http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c44/deadxiii/boosterbikewip_01.jpg

[Generalvivi]

Thanks, its just going to be used for a portfolio piece, I chose source because i've always been curious about getting custom models into that engine. Its a pain in the ass at first, but now that i've got the process memorized i'm liking the results


Ah ok, yeah i love the source engine for lighting. It's quite nice! It doesn't really do shadows on models but you can get around that if your tricky

[vcool]

don't get down on your self. hard surface modeling is definitely not an easy thing to learn. Be sure to check out Racer's awesome tutorials... http://racer445.com/ - if your still learning, check the very first one - Intro to Sub-D Modeling (http://cg.tutsplus.com/tutorials/3d-art/an-introduction-to-subdivision-high-poly-modeling-tools-and-techniques/)

Good Luck :)


Hehe, thanks. I've been modelling a while, but it's the first time I decided to do the hardsurace->bake->lowpoly. I've experimented plenty with generic shapes but never actually tried to make something that complex.

As for Racer's tutorial, yeah I downloaded it on my old build but I didn't back it up, so I was gonna download it again anyway. Might as well do it now. :poly124:

first time I've seen a sketch of a naked woman on a biz card.

[garagarape]

Muzz, LoTekK, brandoom, Can I ask a stupid question?
What are those strange avatars you use?
There is so many of those funny avatars on Polycount
and GA site, but I just don't get the joke.
I wonder if it has somethig to do with Ben Stiller
or something like that. I don't know much about him
to understand the joke. Please teel me about it.

****************************************
ander> Love your yellow SF stuff with wire.

hawken> Amazing how you managed to make us
recognize those personalities with few lines and shapes!
Sylvester Stalone and Susan Vega, right? lol
Oh no that was Arnie and barbie :)
I don't understand why so many Americans make fun of her.
Personnaly I really fancy "Woman In Love" (Nice voice).

[ralusek]

@garagarape the avatar is from a thread in the general section. something about "i found the greatest avatar" or something like that. i believe he is a pedophile, not 100% on that.

Muzz, i have a boner.

looking for crits on shoulders, obviously low poly
http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1853/orcshoulders.jpg

[GCMP]

Hey Muzz,
I like this one the best, colours compliment well, this on non glossy card with no effects would show it off better imo.





http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e305/muzzoid/bizness-card.jpg

[Muzz]

first time I've seen a sketch of a naked woman on a biz card.

You say it like its a bad thing :P. Its a pretty non-offensive image but its different enough for people to take notice.

I printed t out today, so until i need more they aren't changing, I used the last one, except with modified typography on the back.

Cheers guys for the help :).

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c44/deadxiii/boosterbikewip_01.jpg

Good start. I would recomment giving a slight taper to the pattern on the tire if you are to bake it down to a normalmap. so it gets picked up better by the raycasts

[garagarape]

Thks ralusek!
Your Orc is starting good.
Will you animate it?
In that case the metal stuff may go into
the neck when you lift-up arms turning
on shoulder axis, no? The design is nice though.
Wonder what kind of clothes you will put on him.

[achillesian]

i dislike the U on that business card, makes it looks like shes packin a dong.

[butt_sahib]

OOOo i love that card muz. Show us a picture of you holding it! that would be so cool.

Started work on another BIZZZNATCH. About 2 days work. Will be going for a semi-realistic thing. Awaiting for the artist to approve (its actually a pretty big project if we can all come to an understanding *fingers crossed*)

butt_sahib that is scary as hell. it's cool though, and i do agree that the arms seem just a tad too long relative to the back. just looks like they're not on the same plane, but i think you have perspective turned on?

cool stuff Neox /Gauss

[Joshua Stubbles]

Awesome, gauss. Just made my desktop. :D

[JFletcher]

That's awesome gauss, cool brush style. :)

@ Neox

That's looking really cool, cant wait to see the low poly. :)

did a little bit more on my soldier chap:

http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/647/soldierhigh.jpg (http://img704.imageshack.us/i/soldierhigh.jpg/)

Perhaps I should have modelled everything instead of sculpting off a base mesh. :P Oh well, more fun this way.

edit:

Notorious P.I.G that toaster is amazing. :)

[praetus]

looks good sofar.
the kneepads are looking odd tho.

take a look (special the shape of the pad)

issued boots look like these afaik:
http://www.camo-store.com/Boots%20Altama/Images/Altama%20A4150_lg.jpg

but alot of the grunts wear selfbought shoes anyway.

[kaptainkernals]

also JFletcher, it seems to me that the fronts of the boots are a little too slanted.

[roosterMAP]

I like dinosaurs!
Anyhow, here's the Halo map i've been workin on. Its almost finished too!

dang, you set your map down on the car roof for a few seconds and it blows away, next thing you know it's online making bloomin' forum posts..

:P looks cool, it's not almost finished without textures tho :)

[GCMP]

Final final final barrel, honest...
http://i647.photobucket.com/albums/uu196/GCMax/Barrel.jpg

rooster & roosterMAP, you are the same person? :shifty:
JFletcher, looks crispy apart from the boots :p

[Neox]

gauss: very cool, maybe the head is a bit too large? maybe a tiny bit, i'm not too sure tho

fletcher: pretty nice, agree on the boots and kneepads, depending on what your tragetresoultion is, i doubt anyone will see that its been sculpted right away ^^
about the lowpoly, well hummm still sooooooo much stuff to do before i can even think about that, btw i updated the image

praetus: i think the proportions are pretty off, which raptor are you basing it on? especially the legs look strange and the arms are pretty huge o.o

[praetus]

It's a toy from Jurassic Park 3 that I'm mainly working off of. Amusingly enough the toys proportions look terrible to begin with and the base mesh I was originally working off is almost nothing like what I ended with. I agree the arms are a bit large though.

[woogity]

Neox love the freakin bridle, dunno how i missed up till now that its got teeth on it, very cool, the hi poly came out beautiful on this.

-Woog

[ima]

Awesome gauss, I'd say make the shoulders a bit wider and further up.
His head looks too high above his body to me.

[Muzz]

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e305/muzzoid/wip.jpg

[MikeF]

Looks good GCMP the only thing that bothers me is the way the stains/rust bend inwards, it makes the barrel look like its folding in on itself. Try straightening them out a bit, might work better

[BlackulaDZ]

nice head muzz! the base of the neck looks a bit flat to me tho.

Hey all,

been working on a small room/level with the Unity engine. I would really encourage people to try it out. Its got a lot of great features, and the work flow is very simple. Anyway, heres how my project turned out.

http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/2655/unitywip.jpg


Check this link below to run around in the level! :) Unity is awesome for this.. One click export to web. The level is a little dark yes, but no realtime lights, all baked lightmaps. woo.

http://tallbrandon.com/Unity/warehouse_web.html

[roosterMAP]

dang, you set your map down on the car roof for a few seconds and it blows away, next thing you know it's online making bloomin' forum posts..

:P looks cool, it's not almost finished without textures tho :)

Actually, I have all the textures done. I just cant put the scenery tags into the map because I don't have the right shaders. Ill be sure to pose an ingame pic when its ready. maybe even a vid.

Just to clarify, I made that while part of the team H3MT. However, since I did to all the models and textures (except for bout 2 textures), I can rightfully consider it mine.

o, and im posting some of the textures i used. feel free to use and crit!

[garagarape]

Mr Smo> Nice german soldier!

But, where is his hand grenade? (it is typical).
There's only two things that bugs me.
- Is it a shovel on his side? Looks a little tiny.
- The helmet may be slightly too streched in Y axis :)
(seems to be not wide enough especially seen from behind).

It is really well done and impressive though.
Hope you'll find specialists to help you more.
Don't know much about german army.

Samurai character is 180 tris, Red hooded character is 190 tris. The level has 600 triangles in that particular view. The characters only use vertexcolors and the level uses a single 512x512 texture(theres more stuff on that texture that isnt on this screenshot). The level is kind of dull but I was far from finished with it when the project got canned :(

You can add a tactical pump grip for any shotgun, so I'm not sure you'll find one naturally made with it. Most tactical shotguns are based off hunting weapons, just modified for heavy usage.

Something like that one, yeah, except even squatter I think, and the grip isnt shaped to fit, it's just a cylidrical shape as far as I remember... wood handle I think too, I don't think its a military shotgun. I'll keep looking, thanks :)

It's a Remington tactical pump front grip. Never seen a wood one, but yeah haha. Hope it helps some

Hey,HandSandwich, I'm lovin' your vehicle down there. Especially the front wheel.)

Hey guys, check this out, I've been rendering out my portfolio and threw up a little environment and made this little picture, to pimp some of the texturing I did for WoT, but I kinda don't know If I want to put this one in my portfolio yet.

I like the way the right foot hits better than the left, and i hope you show this again with a faster timing and perhaps other angles.

Been working on a bunch of stuff, all guns still ATM

1911 Concept Pistol


Concept pistol I drew and modeled



Concept gun ref I found on deviantart and looked interesting



IMO, the greatest problem right now is that your models are blocky. Real guns aren't boxes. Well ok, some of them are, but the grips never have sharp edges because it's difficult to hold.

bunch of test poses..

Rhinokey posted a wip and a modelsheet in a thread,(http://boards.polycount.net/showthread.php?t=68101) as a character animator I consider myself useless at modeling and let alone texturing or drawing. so I tend to yank other peoples modelsheets and model and animate..

my internet conection was horrible during the night, so I watched some futurama and modeled the character from Rhinokey's sheet..but, in a more high-poly fashion..not really gamedev related I guess :/
oh well, 4hours later...time for sleep :)

n8ttr, is it just me or do you have whole sides to the guns as giant ngons O_O?

if the inner edges are triangulated the right way... why not?

Working on a character similar to the spy in TF2. Trying to get better at modeling, let me know where/how I could improve the poly flow, thanks!

(haha don't mind my notes, they are just to remind me what I need to do next time I open this up)
