ships concepts for shmup project

http://i45.tinypic.com/335a7fc.jpg


WIP of the fast purple ship, planning on either taking it into zbrush and using hard surface tools for the high poly, or try and learn how to do super clean hard surface like so many of you guys do, in maya... On the fence atm.

I'm new to this forum, so this is probably a dumb question, but how do you post your work so it will display without an attachment?

use tinypic or some other image hosting site to host your image.

Awesome stuff guys, thanks for forfulling my night awesomenss and head with inseration, just went from page 1 to 171, and it's all epic stuff. I want to try some but I'm discouraged, don't want to end up like rawtalent did there. Anyway, thanks again hope to see some more amazing things and maybe some of my own?

[gauss]

Slaught: i love the concept tag cat knight. happy to see a 3d piece come out of that thread.

crazyfool: digging the drapery studies

duck: for serious great character work, glad to see it continue.

big to do over the weekend but i'm back at it now. WIP Chiappa Rhino: fires from the bottom cylinder, designed by the same guy that worked on the Mateba apparently. love its chunky profile. more details left related to the action but it's a lot further along than i realized.

I might get this going again perhaps.

Use your ftp or some image hosting site :

And in your post you just have to put the url that way : [ img]URL_OF_YOUR_IMAGE[ /img] (delete the spaces before img and /img)

Very cool! I love the simplicity:) I always find it hard to get a nice looking object with just a few hard strokes. You have more to show? (your talking about a map)

Gauss: Looks awesome, your deats are getting tighter by the model. :)

[hoggboy]

your hammer is way too thin; it looks silly

also, that block at the top back of the grip would totally ruin ergonomics and it looks bad, especially from 1p view

Cool gun! Did you model it with multiple meshes and did you use bump map for the handle section?

[CrooZin]

Evil Flower: oh man I don't know how I missed your MG-34, you must have just posted it before I posted.

Looking pretty good but I think you've got some width issues--nothing a little scaling won't fix I think? The one that really sticks out is the stock in particular, it's just too thick. I can't find a picture of the butt straight on but even the side pics tend to suggest a much slimmer profile:

http://gallery.gunsofthereich.com/mg34-9152a/46t.jpg.php
http://gallery.gunsofthereich.com/mg34-9152a/49t.jpg.php

I don't know the gun well enough to comment on anything else, but that's what stuck out. The gallery I linked to above has a lot of close-up pics and shots from a couple of angles which should prove useful--sorry if it's more than a little late in your process :)

EDIT: Is there a way to force-resize an image even if it isn't wide enough to auto-resize? The one I posted is a bit tall, sorry :(


image of girl
Fuse, this is looking sweet but it really feels like her face is pinched too much towards the center. I know it's style, and I think it almost works, but it feels awkward to me. Especially with the lips so pursed, the sharp chin, and the nasal labial folds pulling in so much.

I should have mentioned it when you first posted her though, sorry for the late crit. Still cool looking though, it's just been a recurring feeling each time you've posted her. :)

I'm trying to use sculptris as sketch/character design tool. Here's a quick maintenance guy concept:

Awesome use of sculptris man. Looks great, and seems like the program will really shine as a sketch/idea generation program. I have only spent about 30 minutes with it and felt like the tessellation and some of the tool functionality in general made it feel a little unnatural for working with surface detail. That probably just has to do with getting used to it though and it no way meant to be negative, it seems to be a great program and it's really awesome he did it by himself and put it out for free.

Here's the head I started on in the first 30 minutes I spent with the program. Pretty bad start, but I'll try the program out again when I get more time and try something more interesting.

40 Min Sculpt; Sculptris


Alrighty guys, I went and tried Sculptris, just like everybody else. Im a total noob at sculpting, and I thought that the program is absolutely great; I absolutely love the fact that you dont have to pay attention to topology, or making sure that you have enough polys in areas where you need them.

If you guys can see how i can improve it, critique it up!

regretful fonzy pose but this is my old bot I'm revising hopefully for the last time.

[Obliviousharmony]

I wanted to create some things to work on my texturing ability so I just decided on some random objects to model and texture.

The first object I decided on was a medieval door. I wanted to focus on just texturing it so there is no normal map but with a little effort I could easily turn the high poly into a higher poly and bake a normal map.

http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/622/medievaldoor.jpg

[Martin Henriksson]

That looks soooo awesome adamlewis! Looking forward to the finished product!

[aesir]

hey fuse, the area around the mouth looks pinched and unnatural. The cheekbones are also oddly placed/shaped. It's been bothering me throughout all your updates. I think if you clear that up, the piece will become a lot stronger.

[StefanH]

very cool adam. I like the look a lot!

Sculpted in sculptris as a personal project. I wasn't smart about how I did this project, but it could have been worse :P

[Racer445]

really well painted, HandSandwich!

Obliviousharmony, the biggest issue is that the black metal is blending in too much with the door. try adding some scratches or something around the edges of the metal parts to help distinguish a border between the material and the shadow.

[Evil Flower]

Yeah, I forgot all about the taper at the end. Nothing a lattice deformer can't fix :)

Sculptris is the answer ;)

GCMP: Looks nice,but to be honest, to me it looks like the funniest Nutcracker ever(no offence)
Can´t think of a way this thing can shot, could be that it´s only because i´m not really into this star trek phaser thingie at all.But even if it was meant to be like a phaser, even i(who has reasonably small fingers) couldn´t pull this awfully small trigger.

[The Flying Monk]

Did some more work on this.
Next step will be the low poly and some test bakes. Then back to the high poly details and a mudbox pass on the larger forms.

And looking at it now, those squiggly details need a going over at some point.

Update: 500'000 strands of hair now. Little bit better sampling (1,0 triangle2x2).


Thanks. It's all from one sphere except for the hands, so 3 spheres total. The hoses are simply just pulled out of the bottom of the leg and inserted back at the top. It's not a perfect technique, but for a rough concept it works alright.

commander_keen - I believe this is fixed now. The program seems much faster and stable with this latest release.

Ok one hint, the propeller was there right from the start :P

[SpeCter]

The Trademark got switched with the R thingie?
And the backgroudn shadow is slightly smaller?(this could just be my imaginaton)

[Neox]

haha lol ok... of course its the registered trademark, not that someone say "before you had clouds in the background!" :P

[SpeCter]

As i said the second thing could be my imagination

Edit: In older pics the shadow has another angle, now the shadow drops to the right side, before it was to the left, just checked it out :P

[slave_one]

I thought it was the registered thingy too when i first saw the post :P

Curious if there is any greater news behind that .. as in going more serious with the project or maybe being picked up by an interested party?

Neox, was there not supposed to be a UDK release in april? Whats the latest news on this?

Keep it up, I love the visuals of Airborn!

[gauss]

Neox: well all I got to say is that it's a really beautiful logotype for the game. Shows exactly what the game is about, the character, the style of it. So many games, even big ones, just have some badly kerned garbage type. Thank you to you and your whole team for your artistry.

ah alright,

btw, i always read your name as master of puppets (since im a metallica fan lol)

and was wondering if that what it really is

Nope, it's not. I am a big Metallica fan too, though :)

the big news is, the trademark cost me a shitload of money, but the price at msuc almost refinanced it, phew

there are interesed parties, but nothing far enough to talk about

there was supposed to be a demo in spring this year, thanks to e3 and crunchtimes in general at some game studios, we can't make it, it's a pity but thats how it goes when you try to make a game with professionals besides the work, its not like we have plenty of freetime

as for the visuals, yeah thats pretty much was airborn is so far - nice - we need to change that and are working on it as much as our freetime lets us do it :)

@gauss: haha my gf always tells me how bad i am when it comes to typo :D

Neox: I bet that did cost you! Good that msu covered a significant part. You guys have my respect doing this in your free time. I hope it gets to wherever you guys want it to go. Good to know there is interest in the project. Thanks for the update :)

[okno]

MoP, do you ever include any kind of mesh in your render scenes which mimics a person holding a camera? I think it would holistically affect the lighting (let alone reflections) and make it look more realistic, but people don't often do it.

[crazyfool]

just some random sketches I did tonight while listening to some very heavy schizzzzz :) trying to work up a new idea to work into, big demons are making me happy at the moment :D

[MoP]

okno: I never considered that, but it's a good idea! I might try some sort of simple occluder behind the camera next time, see how it goes in the reflections. Some subtle extra realism, I guess!

Incidentally, I've also been working on this cover of Foo Fighters - My Hero. No vocals yet:

Neox: if she's a graphic designer--or worse, someone who's taken a graphic design course, you never hear the end of type :) that said type treatment is generally terrible with games, like decades behind bad.

and so I think I'm pretty close to done on the high poly on this. I think I'll go back to the Dardick to do my first bake, since it's the most simple form to cut my teeth on. Thanks to EQ for a fairly detailed critique about how I was handling control edges--I ended up rebuilding most of the frame as a result.

Nice work Marshall. What Kodde said about the BG though, kinda clashes with the style of the characters. Maybe still keep the colours/design, but loose the noisy paper texture.

Im working on a wild west scene to demo my Unity tools.
http://www.keenleveldesign.com/pimp/protools/westernscene/westernscene_06.jpg

Its still very WIP but here are some tech fun facts:
Its all dynamic lights except for some lightmapped ambient skylight. The terrain is actually a mesh and the materials are blended with masks which I can directly paint in the editor. The terrain also has a color overlay which I can paint in the editor.

All the trees and grass are painted directly on the terrain mesh in editor and they can be tinted using the color overlay texture. There thousands of grass objects in the scene but they get grouped up and batched into optimized meshes at runtime. They also have multiple levels of LOD and the the drawcalls in the scene are no more than 500 at any location currently.

yeah i know, im using mental ray at the moment, i tried to do something with the shadows but all i was able to do is make them a bit lighter, i think what they need is to be blurred a bit but im not sure how to do that

i do have a real time shader but i dont know how to use it lol so im sticking with mental ray at the moment, i dont have vray

[ZacD]

Try using final gathering (+ with grids/planes with white ambient) and getting some lighting bouncing going on, also, use more than 1 light, but you don't need each light casting shadows)

yea, some of those containers can be long as hell. Drug suppliers use to use the really long ones to make weed in. They'd bury them underground to hide them and have like an underground weed production factory in those huge containers. They would bury them out in the middle of nowhere or like a forest where there was tons of snow so it was harder to detect heat levels. Took people forever to realize what was going on.

Thanks for the tip catstyle, the cheeks were bugging me too. I lowered the spec value, increased the gloss and it looks much better now.

[Niwon]

Looking very nice adamlewis, and I am curious about what made the rendertime monster sized with a lot of noise? Due to the fact that I am a vray user myself. The vray skin shader of yours might also need a bit higher scatter radius in the thinner parts like the ears, perhaps an area specific scatter map is what your're missing? :)

Been playing a bit with Vray today as well:
FumeFX 2.0 with Vray (http://vimeo.com/12160453)

[adamlewis]

I'm not sure about other apps, but if you're using Max and have it configured for a linear workflow, you need to setup the color mapping settings in Vray so it correctly samples the image at a gamma of 2.2 (with an inverse of .454). If you don't, Vray will try to sample from the gamma 1.0 output, and won't catch the noise in darker areas, even with a really low noise threshold setting. I originally thought my sample settings were too low, so I increased them, at a huge cost to render time with minimal benefit in quality. Once I sorted out the color mapping settings, I was able to use a lot cheaper sample rate while still achieving a nice clean result. Send me a PM if you need more info.

Vitor - very nice character, render looks great, just like a toy
marshallbanana - i like the designs, i would paint some more shadow in there and maybe add a little more volume to the face, perhaps subtle gradients down the flat cloth elements?

here is a Tf2 Vip doodle from this weekend

ideas -
Sort of like a turtle, player controlled, map contextual class that can take lots of damage. A super buff class that offers bonuses to all other classes from his transparent case when you get him on your side. How do you get him on your side? bribe with monies or blackmail with pics of him in red sequinned dress. can use Glowing red telephones on the map to negate barriers hindering teams progress/ call in airstrikes.


Once VIP takes a certain amount of damage he can invoke diplomatic immunity. Pull cord to inflate jacket which uberises him and critifys him.
pyro blast VIP ball of death into enemies for much hilarity!
bottle of neuf de pap as melee weapon?
camera in case can be used to take photos of enemy classes, that class takes krit damage.
Atomic bomb case can be detonated by demomen when VIP places it. umbrella deflects bullets?
Spare umbrellas can be gathered from elephants feet.

not really got the hang of the tf2 facial style yet and his silhouette looks kind of bulbous right now but fun so far, sort of based on mr bridger from the italian job and george smiley from the le carre books. Figure he would speak like the duke of edinburgh crossed with matt berry.

Thanks a lot for sharing the info adamlewis. I will give the 2.2 gamma a go. I have had the exact same issue, not getting why the increase of material samples did not get rid of noise. I had a feeling that why the vray sss fast skin material was looking so over-saturated and dark, had to do something with gamma settings that needed to be adjusted. Now I have it confirmed.

Your textures need a lot of work. I'm not seeing wood end at the ends of planks etc, and you've got a veins running in the wrong direction. For instance, on the chair legs you've got = horizontal veins while they should be || vertical. Carpenters make furniture so the veins run along the longest side, because that's the sturdiest.

It's also very obvious that you haven't done much with the textures. The one on the cupboard is straight off of CGtextures, and the one you choose looks more like a PS filter then actual wood. To get a good look, you'll need to paint in some (subtle) dirt in crevices, have some details like hinges, screws perhaps, and painting in the grooves between planks.

The cupboards are really simple planar maps and it shows. You need to texture in all the different planks (http://www.ljoak.co.uk/range/full/sideboard-1.jpg). You can get a long way with just mixing up a single texture, but better is to have multiple texture sources combined (several samples of similar wood, instead of just a 1024 like I used). Here's a really quick mockup with just one grain texture, one end texture, and a simple colour adjustment to make them match:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/448525/keep/Polycount/planks.jpg
Left is like your, right is what you should do instead. Notice how you can see that there's a top plank, sideplanks, and a bottom, and notice that the planks look like planks because of the end grain. As I said though, this is a very simple example, because it's only 8 planks, whereas a real cupboard usually has 25+ (look at the borders on the doors on the reference photo).

[Nick Carver]

Kite, that guy looks great! It's a great design and I love the little touches like the tie hanging over the collar of the bomb disposal suit. Also, more bowler hats in videogames please!

In terms of the facial stylisation, if you want to match the TF2 style more closely I think you could afford to simplify things a bit more and also go for a more angular/planar approach to the sculpting. It's a face that's choc-full of personality though so I wouldn't stress too much about matching the style 1 for 1.

Can't wait to see it finished!

[Andreas]

Detailed much Kaskad? :P Awesome piece.

[Cap Hotkill]

Very good work Kaskad, Im Impressed by the attention to every Detail.

[Swizzle]

I'm sorry, Kaskad, but that level of awesome is simply not allowed around here. I'm afraid we'll have to kill you.

haha. cute. I think the dog could use at least a couple more polygons to define the snout a bit. It's a little too amorphous as it is.

[aniceto]

haha, i thought that was some kind of cool weird cat thing

For some reason I find that sheep dog terrifying, you should probably define the snout more, maybe post some wires?

Hey guys! long time viewer, first time poster, here's a bust I did for a contest over at CGchannel:

Can anyone guess who it is? :D

Man thats a sweet gun Kaskad!

[gauss]

Good stuff Kaskad, it's one of the classiest gun profiles ever (with yet another revival due to RDR :) )

I assume the current Mauser emblem is a placeholder? The only part that really sticks out as being a little off to me (not having studied the weapon) is the Mauser logo and the chamfering on the concentric squares around them looks a little off. Not by much, but a little. Shame not to go all the way when the weapon is already so well detailed.

For comparison, some time back I know Johny did this model--worth a look-over (Johny's work usually is) http://www.3pointstudios.com/img/3ps_xxx_red9_realtime.jpg

Robert Downey Jr.? Looks great and welcome to Polycount.
If you are making the renders in Zbrush 3.5 R3, double the canvas size and then hit Ctrl+0 or click on AAHalf, it will give you AA effect on your models so they will not have those ugly dents ^^

PS: your Image files also said it was Downey :P

[paulsvoboda]

Beautiful work there Kaskad - Really good looking render too. Any plans for a low poly?

[gauss]

somehow I never seem to catch the post just before mine when I use the quick reply

bludragon: immediate likeness, I had no doubt who it was intended to be, so nice work. Captured a lot of the flare he has now that makes him so enjoyable to watch work (still hoping for a non-Iron Man Tony Stark movie, I'd RDJ file taxes and do laundry quite frankly)

this one is for Harry by request :) almost done, just a little more detailing around the mag, need some screws, etc.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4726438/AM/welrodwip1.jpg

(also thanks for Artsy Fartsy for his how-to on diamond grip surfaces in max in the shapes thread in technical talk)

He suggested the Welrod and so I looked into it, and it's a super bad-ass super secret British spy gun from WWII. Most suppressed weapons still make a certain amount of noise because of the action cycling, so they developed the Welrod so you could manually cycle the bolt. See that recess around the muzzle? that was intended for pressing the it against a target point blank. As you can see, I've modeled the Mk. I version, with the trigger guard and the detachable suppressor.

Anyways seriously it's a really interesting gun, cheers Harry http://www.timelapse.dk/welrod.php

[rollin]

gauss you're so cool.. you dig up one freaky gun after the other!! I'm so tired of all the m4 aks (sorry ;) ) and whatnot

[LoTekK]

Oh god yes, Welrod ftw. Almost never makes any appearances in popular media (though it was in at least one of the Silent Storm games, which was a pleasant surprise).

You're making me want to do up a lowpoly De Lisle.

[gauss]

rolin: thanks man I try. There are a lot of really interesting weapon designs out there--more people on polycount generally need to do research. It seems like such a waste to see really talented guys spend time on aping an existing in-game art asset from a popular title? what's that all about

LoTekk: Hahah shhhh, a De Lisle is definitely on my list, though I think I'll just go ahead and build a proper SMLE Mk III model first and use that as a base. Didn't know the Welrod was in Silent Storm, very cool.

Gotta be Robert Downey Jr.

[Asteric]

Yeah, just watched a movie with him in last night. Easily recognisable.

[Harry]

Gauss you did it What a damn boy! Gun nerd solidarity ++

I couldn't have said this better myself. And it applies to more than just guns
