Credit goes to Helixx for the inspiration and original base mesh that i retopologized for this project.

Now comes the baking.

He wanted orange!

New Age Zeitgeist baby!

Here's to hoping Deus Ex 3 doesn't suck.

[michi.be]

nice shape! Can we see the flats? I feel like the bark is twisting to be almost sideways at the base, which feels a little weird. It also seems a bit noisy, but maybe that would balance out with some real lighting?


There are just two textures. bark and leaves. its a 3dmax viewport screenshot so its looking noisy. im at work right now but will ppost ingame shots this evening. :)

[Ferg]

nice sculpt dk! How'd you render it? I really need to get on top of these vray techniques

awesome dk

[Vrav]

drillerkiller, that is an adorable little creature
same goes for your awesome squib there, virtuosic
scum: hooray, studies

if anyone looked at my computer in the past three hours it would have been busy baking this ridiculous ambient occlusion on a bucket, a bucket I say. But I think it looks pretty delicious, and more or less ready for the final color + spec stretch:

http://clocktock.com/vrav/wip3D/bucket02.jpg

338 isn't too much, is it? because the model can be optimized, but I think I've seen heavier...

edit: quuiiiiick test, will apparently have to rebake the interior, too dark to use; goodnight!

sweet bucket

[HAL]

Agreed, a really nice bucket.

Btw. is that environment mapping on the carrying bracket (Is that correct Oo, but I think you know what I mean^^) or just specular?

[okkun]

Sweet bucket indeed..

[Helixx]

Just using the basemeshes from the DW4 Mini comp to do some sketchsculpting. Here's what I churned out last night.

[Slaught]

So I wuz like "holy sh*t DomWar IV".
And then I wuz like "crap I can´t sculpt shit"...so I´m learning Mudbox now.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y106/Dropkick60606/wat4.jpg

God I love this prog.
It´s like ZBrush just without the hard, confusing and complicated.

[Vitor]

I'm starting a new project to see if I improve my portfolio. Not much to show so far, I'll create a thread when the time feel right.

scum: ive been watching your studys the last few days, there good but mind me to ask, why the dynamic poses? to see how muscles flow or something?

[Zwebbie]

Thank you, |Buddy|, Hawken, konstruct, Talon, rawkstar and ScoobyDoofus. Gunther is the perfect guy to remake - iconic, no accessories, lots of detail and doesn't have any of the hard things like hair or eyes.


Update. I'll be sculpting some pants tomorrow.

Made during a couple of quiet hours at work.

WhiteEagle, that aches to be animated. Awesome originality!
There are so many epic dudes on this page. My bucket is out of place. But there is a guy wearing it so, at least I tried. Glad you guys like the prop, serves as another portfolio piece for me... but when will I make a whole scene? :0

@HAL, yeah, I put it in the Phoenix engine for the cubemap shader. ^^

[Ninjas]

nice bucket Vrav!

[EricV]

I AM THE MASTER OF ANAL BEADS!!!!
I knew you loved that shit, you flaming homosexual

[Peris]

thats a nice bucket, but a 1024 texture is kinda big for a small prop like that. i'd imagine it would be a 256 or 128 even, depending how it's used. The uv looks like it could be half the size aswel, if some parts are reused. It looks really good though!

[PixelMasher]

yea 256 at the most for the bucket id say for anything practical prolly 128*256, after all it would only be like 50 pixels or so on screen.

[Master_v12]

Good old buckets...

I make tires! they need a car...

[rollin]

WhiteEagle: nice 1!
Mauricio Cunha: there´s no real shading in your textures. shadows, spec, color variation, all this is missing. especially if your have unique uv´s
ParoXum: looks cool


i feel ashamed to spam you again
but hey.. there´s something new going on in there :poly121:

## screenshot from max ( max2008 ) with slight level adjustment in photoshop nothing more


- forced AA over Nvidia Driver
- post_bloom.fx
- 3 lights
- 1 light used for realtime shadows
- model uses custom shader build with shaderFX 3.0, hardly noticeable in this pic though (super cool tool btw)
- background uses max standard material without any texture
- the model is the normalmapped version of course...

http://www.maginot.eu/space/mgto/temp/vox_low_e_shaderTest.jpg

[pior]

Rollin! I want to see that bigger!

Another trick for cheap AA : in the camera settings mess around with the DOF realtime preview thing. It will wiggle the camera and blend the result.

That's all very true, and it looks the same if not better at 256 (http://clocktock.com/vrav/wip3D/bucket06.jpg), I am just in the habit of working at higher res than final on assets like this. And I do love reusing UV space, could totally do so with a small item like this, but was doing the object space thing; thank you for mentioning it though, as I should probably do more of that for my portfolio - especially with tangent space being the main thing - so as to not leave prospective hiring managers a-wondering. /nod

rollin and pior are pimps.

[rollin]

ahh pior.. i´ve totally forgotten about that.. thx for the reminder.. i´ll see if i can make it a bit bigger..

so.. anybody knows how i can "render" a screenshot in max in various sizes? :poly141:

[Renaud Galand]

nice one vahl !! Love the head !

[Dado Almeida]

Rollin: Nice style buddie. What about a short movie just screen-grabbing Max Viewport ? I think I´ve never see something like that.

WhiteEagle: indeed thats taste original. Nice work.

Lamp: stop procastinating!

[{scumworks}]

Another.. slightly more buffed.

http://www.scumworks.com/images/3d/images/man006.jpg

scum: ive been watching your studys the last few days, there good but mind me to ask, why the dynamic poses? to see how muscles flow or something?

Yes, also seems like a good way of learning the different muscles vs the static t-pose. Doing both sides rather then mirroring helps nail it to whatever gray mass I have left.

@rollin - Nice character you got there.

[Bryan Cavett]

Scumworks: You should grab this tutorial. Its very helpful with learning where muscles attach to the skeleton. http://gnomonology.com/tutorial/350

I suggest grabbing the ztl from Zack's site as well. You can turn each muscle group off one by one.

This is pure awesomeness. It's got such a nice stylized painterly look to it, but yet it's fully 3D and detailed, and realistic looking.

The glasses could be a little better, but it doesn't even matter. You should send this to Matt Groening.

haha.. nice one Davision3D *G*

[vahl]

cool stuff davision !!!
Rollin : loving it :)

small update on Donovan
http://wip.global-illusions.com/UdonDStribute/DonovanWip13.jpg

[konstruct]

nice vahl- I know in Dark Stalkers those balls really are about the size of his head, but they just seem to be too big and are really taking away from all the other awesome bits. I think the scale of those balls works in dark stalkers because Donovans proportions are reall exadurated so they dont seem quite as huge:

GIANT FEET (http://www.fightersgeneration.com/games/ds2-fly2.jpg)

I mean c`mon those feet are like twice the size of his head. (insert giant dick joke here) It seems like you should either push those proportions, or shrink them balls to a smaller size *snicker*

[bounchfx]

damn vahl I could tell that was you before i even looked over and saw your username. looks good as usual. but those beads must HURT. I guess some people are into that

[MoP]

and how's his wife holding up?
to shreds you say?

[vahl]

hehe thanks guys :p

I'll make the balls smaller, for sure, actually their size differ depending on the illustrations and their state, in my final render I want them to be in detached state, hence the big size, but since I'm a lazy bum I just slapped them over without resizing them :p
I'll also look into the proportions thing like with Ibuki, I'm not really a fan of the huge feet thing, I don' tthink it really works in 3d, but I'll make sure to fix all that though !!! thanks !!

[pior]

Rollin, I want your shader now haha :P

As for bigger realtime renders : In animation > preview you can 'render' realtime viewport animated segments. The image scale in pixels is set as a percentage of the scanline render settings, but it seems like you cannot go higher than 1200*900, wich isnt bad really!
You can also pan your 3DSMax viewport across multiple monitors and screengrab stuff this way.

Good luck! Looks fantastic!

[seforin]

vahl : is that some Dark stalkers? :)


cheek bones are alot more sharp on him , but not sure if your changing him to be more modern/realistic or keeping with some of hte original character to him?

Adam : So so GHEY!

[rooster]

whiteeagle: I like it!

[fullofclovers]

A concrete barricade!
http://fullofclovers.com/content/Baricade_4.jpg

[Davision3D]

thx all!

The neck has this big wrinkles going on because they are also there in the original. I think i will tweak it a bit and then put the head in a cylindrical shaped fishtank. :)

@ ArtsyFartsy
hey, thats what i wanted to archive! :)

@ vahl
Looks great, but needs some eyebrows!?

[pior]

Yeah V I think you could push this one much much more. I am not familiar with the reference but still, judging from that picture you could really go BOLD!

thx man.. thats a good tip.. even though in this case I get the same resolution with toggling into expert mode and take a screenshot,
but then.. i can´t use the dof-preview button in expert mode ;)
so thx again !!


the shader is quite simple and i´m still working on it.. i´ll post more when i´ve finished this project in my thread

It's a small truck for a scene, hopefully. In the future there are no rearview mirrors or windshield wipers, I guess.

In the future, video camera's and heads-up-displays projected on the windshield will replace rear view mirrors. And the windshield will vibrate and a high frequency thus making rainwater instantly slide off the glass... or maybe the glass gets hot and vaporizes the water while the vibrations prevent steam from forming on the glass....

TV screen is glass, so, should really give that part more Spec right (ie, making it more white in the Spec map)?

[marks]

It's one of those poster/billboards. Does it really look that much like a tv? :<

[CIgano]

well at first glance those metal circles in the corners of the base appear to be screws, mebe remove them and put something that gives a [correct] sense of scale?

Same angles in 3dsmax realtime (http://clocktock.com/vrav/wip3D/bass06.jpg); opacity on fins causing some of the body triangles to disappear...? What is that about? Though I don't think it's actually done... I should go and sculpt some feathering on all the spines, so they look less artificial. But they will be so small ingame... ehhh, no excuse for laziness in a portfolio piece I guess. But yeah, thanks guys.

I've been in a slump for inspiration for personal work, thought I'd give some old school stuff a new school look. I had hoped i could finish the high poly tonite, gonna come back with another pass and add more unique geometry detail.

http://i461.photobucket.com/albums/qq332/oobersli/boiler.jpg

[whats_true]

@Vrav

Does it sing?

@marks

The curving of it gives it that TV look. Signs are flat so that they don't reflect as much as they would. Also, the sign part itself is going all the way to to very bottom of the thing. If it were in a mall, on the floor, it would be hard to look all the way down their. Give it at least another 2 feet to stand on so it can be eye level.

[AimBiZ]

warriah: Looks awesome though I think his legs look like they are bent a tad to the sides. Either move his knees inwards or his feet outwards and I think it will look right.
There's also nothing on his pants that holds the belt.

Interesting colorscheme. Is it going to be a desert warrior?

You could probably start with making the corner bricks not different colors so it will tile properly =]

Thanks for the observation, I think it tiles alright at the moment actually (I guess its hard to see since i didn't actually tile it in the image, I probably should), here take a look at this image here (http://alexluong.co.uk/blog/images/alexluong_tbrickwall_01tile.jpg) (the texture on four planes put together)

Hopefully I've not gone blind :p but that looks alright doesn't it? :s

Edit: Don't want to spam this thread up with my boring old wall but thanks for the suggestions SHEPIERO.

Updated with rotated bricks and tried to darken bits to try and suggest deeper grout.

http://alexluong.co.uk/blog/images/alexluong_tbrickwall_01a.jpg

[Bobbeh]

haha yea I guess it does. I think the brick sorta fades from light to dark When they are together the seam isn't bad, but when its just by itself its hard to tell that it kind of gradients.

I officially withdraw my comment.

[SHEPEIRO]

alexl- nice bricks but you could give some of the bricks subtle random rotations, and make the mortar deeper in places

Look, a crate! For my dock WIP which needs to hurry up and finish itself. Shots in UT3.
Some very cool stuff happening on these last few pages!

[Rens]

Once again your stickers look BOOMbaBOOM ferg!

[Pedro Amorim]

nice looking crate you have there erik

[Kimono]

Made this a couple of days ago, it's 16 tris and 1 512^2 there is no spec map on it yet and I'm wondering whether it would be worth it. Maybe a gloss map.

http://i41.tinypic.com/21kl1g0.jpg

[e-freak]

Ferg - if you can scan them properly, you could offer a Decal-Package. Sure these would make great little details in some post-apocalyptic mod :)

[Davision3D]

That is very cool Virtuosic! A lot of things going on in his face, did you used morphing for that? Can you show the skeleton?

Awesome stuff Ferg, the bird face is especially cool!

[Neox]

http://nonpublic.airborn-game.com/wip/neox/chars/soldiers/thin/soldat_03b.jpg currently working on some basic shapes for an airborn soldier, as the last version was to aristocratic and therefore not the right direction

[caseofchill]

Awesome stuff ferg. You outta make a decal pack. Then you have your graffiti art in Seattle and in a few virtual worlds.

[Ruz]

nice stickers ferg.
some cool enviro stuff too.

dig the dumpster and crate

perhaps the nose at the base should turn up a bit more neox, not just the tip

great start though

[Joao Sapiro]

really dig the sword vahl, would LOVE to know what your displacement trick is in the grip :D

Popping in with some work-in-progress non-digitals

Love your stickers Ferg, awesome!

thanks ruz, love the oldschool work, love the way you are heading in genereal it's all so smooth and clean, really nice unique, yet retro looking style

went into a little different direction with the nose

Here is my only decent wip for 2009 so far.

Piece of advice... Dont buy an old house... ever. Anyway, I know what I dont like about this, but Id love to hear what everybody else has to say. This is what Im calling a Medium Poly version - Im not planning on putting this in game (its for an animation) - once the design is where I want it, Im going to add all the high poly details.

http://nicholaikropat.com/Steam_Truck_WIP_2.jpg

Hopefully if nothing else falls off my house Ill be posting a bunch of low poly stuff soon
-Nick

[Ruz]

cheers neox, I am trying to change direction a little these days.

New head is cool, nice pointy chin. like the angular look overall


Mechadus - the tyre tread needs to be a lot more distinctive .

I am not really a techy type , but that kind of stands out for me

StJoris - nice beer bottle collection :)

This is pretty bitchin', but you need to make larger, more interesting treads instead of your current bump-mapped treads. Get some real big knurls like construction equipment. Also the cab is really short looking - I'd raise the roof and the exhaust behind it by about 3ft and build the cockpit area so the character has to climb up.

[TheMadArtist]

Yeah, what they said ^
The only thing that jumped out at me was the tires.
Other than that it's a great piece.

[Blaizer]

More progress with this dude, this time for traditional texture work.. i'm like oxided lol

http://blog.whiteblaizer.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/fanatico_test.jpg

[tacit math]

reckon it'd look pretty mean to drop the tread all together and have them as racing slicks. might be a nice contrast to all the other detailing

[ThatDon]

nice one Blaizer :)

[seforin]

got a chance to work on this some more today , gonna probably work on it tonight as well, a quick paint over idea of what im going for

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v61/seforin/roughgoing.jpg

[eric.]

Ghostscape: That sure is a heavy ass truck! Looking neat. And yeah, the treads are a little weak.

So heres what Ive been doing. A class assignment and DW practice. Im really looking for some critique, since I never get any critique Im getting a little desperate, so heres a link to my thread :)

Super nice, Blaizer.

[Mechadus]

@ Ruz and Ghostscape: Its funny, the wheels / tires are the part Im least happy with so far. I had not thought of racing slicks tho.. thats an idea worth exploring.

Im still working with the cab to try and get the proportions right.. I just knocked out a rough interior for it. This beast needs a 3 man team to drive it - there are only 2 seats because the engineer is always on his feet, and he doubles as a spotter when manuvering, as you could loose a small country in this things blind spots. I kept the doors low to try and give it some sort of aircraft hatch feel, but Im still not sure it looks right... opinions?

I also finally figured out the front suspension. The front wheel is finally attached, and it actually has room to turn - wow. I cant wait to start adding details and get this thing surfaced.

go with the racing slick idea rather than the knobbly tyres, IMO knobs would make too much detail noise, and the nice smooth tyres would add some nice big shapes to offset what detail you already have

ok here we go

worked a bit more on the forms and blocked his first head gear, 3 more hatvariations to come, but going to do one body first.

I love the fly-eyes look of these goggles Neox :)
Airborn is a real blast to follow :)

That is very cool Virtuosic! A lot of things going on in his face, did you used morphing for that? Can you show the skeleton?

Awesome stuff Ferg, the bird face is especially cool!


Thanks :-)

I did not use morphing. Instead i used controll points in case i wanted to import it into a game engine down the road.

I put together a little composition of the wireframe and the control points if you want to check it out.

Youtube didn't like my export from premier so it kind of scrunched it alittle. Sorry for the quality.

Try going to the actual site and maximizing it. You can actually see the control points and such.

I've been working on my sculpting and anatomy lately. Unfortunately I'm still stuck with blender on a 6-year old computer, so I can only work on things under 300,000 polys :(
http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/3760/headz1.jpg

Lol, that's funny bommel

[Vrav]

I think that looks great okno, a lot of sculpting studies I do myself are only around 150k in Silo if with a decent basemesh. It's great practice to focus on form. Nice face.

[erik!]

Pelican case! Not entirely based on one case, therefore not 100% accurate, but I'm not worried about that. Weighs in at a whopping 1598 tris! Screens from Unreal.

small update. didnt touch the pants yet or the backpack.

not sure what to go with for the gear, color wize, so any input would be much appreciated.
also will i be able to bake this down somehow to a lowpoly including color? i seen so many ppl get nice and clean results baking down multiple objects onto 1 mesh but i cant seem to make it work.

cheers

[konstruct]

damn warriah that character is getting Soooo awesome. his metal helmet leaves me wanting more though- i understand your going for simple chunk of metal type vibe, but maybe its too simple? some edging and a bolt or two could go a looooong way.

that skin tone is freash tho-

i did that in college when i was trying to figure out better ways to model stuff. Worked in my favor, since some chicks thought it was a real tattoo and later wanted me to draw on them. horray for studying how to make proper boob loops on a "model."

:)

was a pretty useful study, only need to do a few though!

[Joseph Silverman]

I'm trying to figure out why everything i sculpt comes out formless and under-developed, even if i seriously overwork it.


this (http://i40.tinypic.com/35jdp9l.jpg)is from a week or so ago.

http://i42.tinypic.com/1253wk4.jpg
is moving with a slightly different workflow from an earlier subd level of the model above. I didn't put anywhere near as much time or polish into it, but it seems to be moving away from the 'drawn on' look a lot of my sculpting has. Slightly.

Done the model, just slapped on placeholder colours and an AO. (I see the seems, don't mind them for now. :P They will be fixed.)

I took it into ZBrush to try to use ZMapper... but it keeps giving me a weird error message when I go to ZMapper, followed by another weird error message and then won't get out of the errors so I gotta close it from task manager. Anyone know what I'm talking about/what's wrong with it?

Any other comments welcome ^.^

[Neox]

@polyhertz: great, totally cool but the foot looks strange, somehow like a extra joint in the middle section o.o

@lampoly: some really cool shapes in that guy

@jackwhat: the sideview is cool but the front looks totally undynamic and way too straight

ok here we go, enough for today

http://nonpublic.airborn-game.com/wip/neox/chars/soldiers/thin/soldat_06.jpg

roughed in some shapes, still aaaa lot to do

middle section needs more red and metal, will ad some buckles and stuff to the bags later

[MartinH]

I dig it Neox, very nice

[JasonLavoie]

Man neox, your shit belongs in an animated flick or something man, looks soooo good.

Hows airborn coming anyways?

[Jackwhat]

Totally agree Neox - But is that acceptable for a model sheet? If not any suggestions on sorting that out?

- Awesome fucking model btw.

[kodde]

Nice character Neox, like it a lot.

[rollin]

nice stuff indeed, neox!

[Davision3D]

Great neox!
Right now there is some very heavy contrasts going on, replaceing the white with a red tone should make it better.

[Zwebbie]

Neox: I'm still not sure if I like the proportions; from the head, I was expecting someone with long and slender limbs, but his legs are actually rather short, even if you take into account that the crotch of the trousers can be a lot lower than his actual crotch. For someone who looks so slick and fast, I imagine that he'd run in a bit of a clumsy manner.

[Neox]

thanks :)

@davision: not gonna happen, red gaiters, seriously how gay is that? :D the colorscheme is shades of black, red, white, metal. I think the balancing problem is because of the missing red and metal parts in the middle section

@zwebbie: you are right, gonna need to make the legs a bit longer, right now he's 7,5heads high, 8 would work better, let's see how good transpose master handles all those subtools >_<

ok it crashes all the time :( sucks, totally sucks and found a reproducable bug in transposemaster, yay good first try

Ghost-d, Kenny: Thanks :)

Neox: Thanks. As for the feet, I was actually going for a cartoony shape I'd seen before where the front widens significantly to accomidate the toes. Guess it's not looking natural enough yet though, will see what I can do about that.

Oh and keep it up with the AirBorn stuff, it never fails to impress :)

i rebaked this cause i finally know what im doing properly

The line at the top of the barrel isnt actually a seam, it's a 1px line i put on the bottom of my brdf to get rid of the weird dark dot due to the brdf not being clamped

I dont know if anyone knows what i mean. It just annoyed the fuck out of me.

Looks like you're still having some trouble on your hard edges? Seems like you're losing detail there. Hammer, end of cylinder, etc.

**click for bigger nekkid version**

obviously many areas have gotten nearly zero attention. WIP WIP blah blah.

i wanna saaaay... make the neck shorter, along with her arms, and upper body. neck by about 2/3. and upper body/arms by about 1/3.

good stuff though scoob :) i like the face!

[Joseph Silverman]

Scoob, i dig the face, but anatomy is way off in just about everywhere else. Pelvis feels stretched vertically, ribs don't look angled right, pectoral seems unnaturally log, breasts look flat from 23rds and squished from the front... Shoulders are really inconsistent with her muscular level everywhere else, and that neck, she seems to have serious spinal problems.

Arms/hands remain untouched...

[Marshal Banana]

One thing I notice is that her arms seem pretty shapeless and tubular. Maybe define them some more.

[Ryan Smith]

Some more animation goodness. Attack this time.

First test for a realtime Rorshach shader. Model is super crappy 10min job... please ignore. That weird pop is just in the video, not the real thing.

[Davision3D]

That is awesome Slum! Maybe it could be also used to generate simple black and white concept thumbs for DW! ;)

Cool ani Virtuosic

@ ScoobyDoofus
Her Spine must give her huge pain! The upper body is bend much too extreme to the back and the neck too much to the front. Also the neck is still too long and connects too sharp to the head. Get some real side reference to get you back on track!

floor I'm working on. Based loosely off of Stefan Morrell's floor work. I wanted to ty my hand at baking a high poly object down to a simple plane. That's my plane with, with normal, some specularity, and a diffuse with ao(the colors aren't set, I was just looking at how the scratched/chipped paint look was coming along). Still a long way to go, but here's the high poly I made for it:

Not great, but meh. I'm learning

Dude Slum that Rorshach shader is freaking sweet!

doing these in less than 2 hours each, so really messy as you can see. Want to get faster so it's nice practice.

[Okt]

Love the rim lighting on the post. Missing the best part though, it adds just enough character to matter.

[osman]

woops, forgot to export it lol, thanks for pointing it out.

[Marshal Banana]

Braids aren't that good. Anyone have any methods?

Like i said, I can only assume its 'cause of my BRDF or something, because,

as you can see the issue isn't apparent up close :/

Hey, nice you like pals. I hope TheMadArtist like it too. :-p
Since I´m a 360º fan I made a gif to share, hope you don´t mind the Abobo´s flood. :-p

shotgun: thx for the advice man. I´ve tried to "enlarge his pelvis" a little more. :

I do indeed like it! Such a cool style.

[Pope Adam]

lots of cool stuff on this page today!

a bit more work on my robot tank factory :P

[Rory_M]

Hey Adam, that's a great assembly line you got going there.

I'd almost like to see the camera more positioned more to the right. Where the tank would be more coming at me for more of a dramatic effect but that might cover up some of the nice details u got going in the backround.
