Started this model a few days ago. The concept for it is by Massive Black.

Isn't that the gun Gene gets in Outlaw Star?
The one that basically sucks people into it and holds them in that sphere (which has intense gravity, if i recall?)

[HonkyPunch]

I just have to say that Outlaw Star is an amazing show, but also that I love everybody's artwork here
artly

[3DLam]

MLink: Well done. Nice bake dude.
Spitty: Nice Zissou man!

This has been begging for my attention for a very long time... not quite low enough for the low poly pimpin, 1k tris, with 512 map. Still a wip but hope to finish up soon.

spitty...nice sculpt and polypaint!

love em :D

[SnarG]

I've really been lovin' the TF2 posters that have been cropping up in the last few pages.

I've been working on this weapons crate prop the last couple of days and it would be great to get any kind of feedback on it.

There's a shading error on the back that I managed to iron out in Max by editing the normals but Unreal has very kindly reinserted for some reason.

Tri count is 2218, and textures are currently 2048 diffuse, spec, emissive and normal. I've got plans to include this in a scene that I have in mind at which point I'll reduce the texture size to 1024.

Love the cell shading quality. Which modeling package did you use to get that effect?

[mLink]

Spitty, great sculpt and likeness. Really nice use of colors too

[penrod]

That's greatness spitty.

[Cthogua]

Texturing up my sci-fi canister thinggy. I still feel like it's missing something. Maybe more text or signage on it. I'm also thinking about doing up a new normal for the wide band of shiney metal at the bottom. It came out weird, and I think it needs some detail to sell the thing. There's a bit of clean up to do on the low poly as well from some details I didn't end up needing to add to it. Anyway here's the progress, using the Xoliul viewport shader and one of Laurens' free cubemaps. Thanks dude for making those resources available!

Johny, that's nice, is it sculpted?

[Racer445]

Good stuff Johny. I'm not a fan of all those beveled out dots though, as they're drawing my view and distracting me from the rest of the model. Hopefully when they're baked down they should be fine.

Beeeffffyyyyy Johny... BEEEFFYY!

No problem! (for some reason it's the color they use for transparency, believe me working on these fuckers for an hour isn't very fun either)

This is what I'm working on right now. It's an old model, one of my first but I quit working on it. Yesterday I decided to continue working on it.

spitty thats awesome

Gok thats a slick design, Have one thing to crit though. I think the cables don't make much sense, every sane engineer would cover those things. From a distance i think it also looks like a wierd paintjob.

Very good point ! il fix it. someone in work actually said the same thing.

[Swizzle]

I've never made any modular assets before, so I thought I'd give this tutorial (http://www.brameulaers.com/tutorials/generic_wall_tutorial/generic_wall_tutorial.html) a shot and see how I do. I probably should've made the blocks more even so they look more realistic and tile better, but I guess I know that for next time now. And the textures are... meh. Whatever; it was a learning experience.

[Avanthera]

okkun, thats some nice smoke you got there,
the fire doesnt look as full and thick at the moment though.
maybe something like this (http://images.quickblogcast.com/115456-107777/KEESLING_BARN_FIRE_1.JPG), less 2d and more of an object. really digging the embers.

and like everyone else says, niiice spitty.

That looks great Boyo, like something straight of out a Team Ico game.

[okkun]

yah that's nice. You might want to rethink where you place your mesh/uv seams though

shrew, thanks for posting that. it's a great picture. I'm going for something a little smaller though. I'll see if I can make it a little more solid by changing some of the shaders to not be additive.

This is what I started on last night. It's a crocodile/turtle.

Stunning. I agree, a light mist in there would be fantastic. But also watch those mirror seams, they are playing hell with your lighting setup.

[Ninjas]

Guess whoooo...

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y29/xkostolny/announcersculpt_001.jpg

Team Fortress lady-- not bad. I thought the comic's style didn't mesh with the game, but your model is pretty faithful.

[Uly]

My first thought was also Cruela. Awesome stuff. :D

haha holy shit, it just occured to me how great Hot Fuzz would be presented in a Lucas Arts style adventure game. : ) these are great.

[Razorb]

yea lotekk thats really cool! i wanna see them animated! :P and i know its a late reply to stuff some people said! but thank you all.. someone also asked if i might do a video or soemthing! and as much as i would want to i really am not good enough to start showing people how to do stuff or anything ;(

oh and spitty that murray sculpt is so damn nice! great work..

[adamlewis]

Swizzle that's great. Your interpretation definitely fits the voice.

Started a character in the evening yesterday and continued working on it until late this morning. Eyes were done pretty sloppy. Sculpted, textured, and rendered in Mudbox.

adamlewis- I honestly love and enjoy everyone of your pieces... The way pulling the detail out, the proportions form- everything is just great! you dont have a portfolio, or any other pace when you keep those?
Cheers!

http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k30/ironbearxl/clay_bear.jpg

[Swizzle]

adamlewis:
Great stuff. I've noticed with a lot of your sculpts that you give your more realistic characters fairly small eyes. Any specific reason, or just stylistic choice?

MikeF:
Looking good so far, though the plants look a little out of place because there isn't anything else like them in the scene yet. I take it you're going to be making more similar plants and such to place in it?


I decided to go back and refine some details sans textures. I think I like it a little better, even if it doesn't exactly fit the TF2 look:

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y29/xkostolny/announcersculpt_002.jpg

[Ryan Smith]

Getting ready to raise this scene and thread back from the dead, as soon as i get some more "new" stuff put in here.


Will be testing out the new vertex offsetting that UDK put in, along with their new Wind Speed and Direction node... should really breath life into the scene like in "The Last Guardian" trailer.

[Unleashed]

that is a damn spiffy administrator, are you planning on making her body?

[bounchfx]

looks awesome seven! arms feel a little small, but that's probably because of all the clothing/padding

[seven]

I can bring em up a bit. The reference I have for the type of gear roller derby girls tend to wear look as if they are a bit low. I'll mess with it.

and thanks, I'll check the arm size. The hands might be a little bit on the small side as well.

[GoK]

Loving the aztec scenes too looks awesome!

small update

http://jodygallagher.co.uk/images/MyArt/ship22.jpg

[adamlewis]

morte: Thank you for the generous words, I really appreciate it. I don't currently have a portfolio online, but I think I'll set up something nice and simple soon.

Swizzle: Thanks. I wish I could say the small eyes were a stylistic choice, but honestly, I think it's simply a result of me having a somewhat flawed awareness of proportions in my characters. With the benefit of hindsight and your comments, I definitely agree that the eyes are too small and detract from the character's presence. I'll be sure to pay extra-close attention to eye proportion in future work.

[mLink]

Devin, that wood is looking dope.


Here's an update on Hank:

I like the colors and mood so far, also nice wall texture.

[Ryan Smith]

Where you guys referring to my post when you said "Aztek?" If so, it was done in UT3... the reason i ask is because it was actually based off of cambodian ruins, but i guess it reads aztek now that the color scheme has slighty shifted to a more yellowish green from a more bluish green.

Racoucan for the gameartisans mini comp:

- BoBo

nice idea!

If I can "chirp" in the beak looks a little flat on top and too curved at the bottom. Toucans beaks curve upward at the top and are flat along the bottom. The hook at the end is quite unpronounced. Like so:

Hope this helps!

Unfortunately I think the normal ends up coming across as rumpled up canvas, especially where that pinch is right next to the larger "rock" form, that really kills the impression that it's a rock. I'd recommend looking at more reference, and thinking about the natural processes that create the shapes and textures of rocks.

FAT_CAP: Looks great! I feel like the silhouette could be a bit more punchy here and there (his arms and face especially look quite formless in silhouette) but it's a minor nitpick.
Textures are very nice, that waistcoat is awesome.

But, Ithink the plaster on his right arm looks a bit too painted.

Hey,JFletcher, that crate looks lively. gj.

pretty good work man. very crisp texture too. i wish you modeled out the grooves on the sole of the boots.
i would suggest a firearm rather than a melee weapon.

btw, i actually like the subtlety of the silhouette like coach character from l4d2:

Ruz, from what I can see, the areas on the face that are throwing it off are the huge gap between the lips and the nose, and the crazy monkey like ears. Also, he does look like hes put on about 10 stone :p

As always, looking forward to seeing where you take it :D

[Ruz]

odium, but he does have a huge gap between the lips and the nose, its one of his distinguishing features.I really don't think that's the problem.
I will look at it more in the new year anyway

second try at the rock texture... thanks for the feedback in the last one. I think this gone got more 'rocky' but the normal map totally rapes the diffuse, its very strong... it looked nice in zbrush.. I think :(

If you want to put it into an game engine, you will be wondering i think...
All these ngons will be turned into tris and i think it will raise the polycount almost triple times if not more.

[FAT_CAP]

Thanks for the input guys - it's nice to get a fresh pair of eyes on this piece.

@MOP - the thick wrists was meant to be a bit of a stylistic choice - giving him tree trunk like arms. It might not work as well as I had hoped though especially since the rest of him is quite realistic in nature - I will give it a try with thinner wrists to create more of a silhouette and see if it works better.

@woogity - Good call! I am reading through Hunter S Thompson's: Hell's Angel book at the minute so the bike chains as necklace/ weapon came from that. The hammer is a great idea although it looks a little small - I'll have a look around for ways of making it a bit more chunky.

@MM - Thanks man. I had originally planned to give him a shotgun of some sort but thought a wrench/ melee weapon would be a quicker to knock up... I always get an itch to move onto the next character when I near the end so was trying ot keep things simple to keep myself motivated!

I hadn't thought of modelling the grooves in the sole of the shoe - I'll test it out and see what it looks like - hopefully it doesn't add too many polys.

@Ruz - Yeah the proportions have really bugged me on this one. I'll give it another once over and see if I can sort it out - I think half of it might be to do with having no toher scale reference in the scene.

90% of what you have modelled there can be done on a normal map much, much nicer, or on the texture itself if diffuse only.

I would take some of those wasted tris and apply them to the shape of the model instead, its all very "boxey" atm.

@Swizzle, 26 is my definite favourite and then 28

Really? I see mostly quads. What are ngons and why are they bad?

ngon is anything more more than 4 edges, you deleted a lot of edges that should be left in.

Hey Ruz, instantly recognisable Brucie there, nice work man! Just the tops of the ears have a little extra too much of a join to the skull, maybe that's why odium said monkey ears, despite him looking like that anyway lol.

FAT_CAP love that belt buckle, fookin awesome texturing!!

d1ver damn I hate this film but I love your work on the model :)

cheers for the feedback GCMP. yeah there is a lack of polys around the ear area, have to rebuild that a bit. pleased he is a at least a 'bit' recognizable

Odium, yeah its true the more you study his face the more surprises there are, he just seems to have the weirdest shaped head, but as a whole his face somehow is movie star quality:)
his shirt is just a test, it makes him look a bit beefy right now

You really should just bake that extra handle detail into an AO map, there is such a small gap between the handle and the side panel that with a good AO and normal it will look the same.

Not bad, but I think this would be improved a lot if you went in with the Flatten brush and really punched the main shapes of the faces, right now they look very "soft" while carved stone faces like this tend to be very stylised with sharp edges between the planes (especially lips, cheekbones and eye sockets).

[n88tr]

You really should just bake that extra handle detail into an AO map, there is such a small gap between the handle and the side panel that with a good AO and normal it will look the same.


Yeah I'm trying hard to get my head around the idea of AOs and Normals and Baking. It's like biology for me or something, having a hard time getting it through my thick skull. I suppose I should understand it all so I don't waste future polies on models, yes?

Heres a gun (HK-416) I'm working on. This is the high poly, and I'm getting close to finishing it. I just have to do the other side of the gun and finish the barrel area, then its on to the attachments (light, handle, sight, etc). Then I will continue to the low poly and texturing. :)

It's a bit inaccurate in some areas, particularly the grip.

I'm not sure if you're aware but http://www.pixagogo.com/DeicideNBF is a large ref gallery for weapons. There are big M4 and 416 albums in there as well so you might be able to compare what you've got to those photos and improve a few things.

[iamtravis316]

thanks for the crits.

for the handle part, thats how it was in the refrence that I had, but I think I'm going to change it to the one thats in the other refrence photos because that seems to be the most widely used grip for this gun.

@Racer445
Thanks for the link. I wish I had that when I started. Also, your AK74 tutrial on your portfolio is actually what inspired me to do this gun. (this is the first gun I've made) I love the texturing part of the tutrial, and I am definatly going to use that as refrence when I do the textures.

[Gallows]

Well, if you're going to have the paint that weathered I'd say grunge up the rest of the model a bit.

http://www.thaneeya.com/3s400-daily-painting-a-day.jpg

[EarthQuake]

Surfa: your normal map seems to be pretty wanked there? Or maybe you're not exporting mesh normals with your OBJ?

[Surfa]

Ok I will grunge up the paint.

Also is this better for the normal map I had the wrong one selected.
http://www.cubeupload.com/files/4cb200pipedreamwrench.png

[EarthQuake]

that looks a bit better, howerver ther still looks like you have some areas that are unlit or something. make sure you dont have object space selected(if using a tangent space map)

[Surfa]

Ahh I didn't see that check box. It is my first time using marmoset.
