What Are You Working On? 2010 Edition!

[e-freak]

what's bothering me about bruce willis (currently watching pulp fiction again) - the shoulders are much too wide and blocky. the face is however nearly perfect.

[spacemonkey]

Hey i thought you were a programmer these days, good to see you doing art.

mop is still in the game, we just needed his technical skills for some time ;)

Awesome render!

[Ruz]

d2king10 - yeah I don't think its as bad as you make out, but I will rein his bagginess in a bit
Notorious P.I.G - I thought my bruce willis had a body of sorts:)
e-freak - grr I have already taken in his shoulders. will check my refs again

[HandSandwich]

Working on a new sword. Might add a tachometer in the center of the blade to show when the gears are up to speed. Highpoly almost done.

So i need more practice i think:)
Thanks MoP!

@ruz
thx dude, It's very heavily stylized actually. you will see once you see the whole thing. but i think youre right. Thx for the input!

i'd do it but have no time right now

ahh man, find the time!

Some of it could use some work, but I promised I'd be done by tonight.

Oh also, the tri count doesn't include base...

[JasonLavoie]

Bigger picture of the final piece... I wanna see the model with textures on it... not the texture sheets with the model in the background :P

Does look good though... I'd prob dirty it up just a wee bit if you can.

Im trying to enter the GA mini comp, here is the pawn Im working on:

meh couldn't resist to play around on a texturesize like the scout has, definitely something different to my usual texturesizes

[MoP]

To answer a couple of questions, here's a quick process layout (click for full-resolution):

http://www.greveson.co.uk/dump/foto_process.jpg (http://www.greveson.co.uk/dump/foto_process_big.jpg)

Side note: If you're feeling adventurous you could also import a higher subdivision level or re-topology mesh from ZBrush and use Skin Wrap (3ds Max) or Wrap deformer (Maya) to attach it to the rig, and use displacement and/or normal-maps to render out a proper animation of the highpoly :)
I might give that a shot at some point just to see how it goes.

[Rens]

That's gonna be the hardest part of this project for me, I havnt done a character since graduating college 2 years ago

Been away from 3D for too long. Figured this might be a fun thing to get me jumped back in.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/778345/me-celeste1.jpg

492 tris, haven't gotten around to unwrapping yet. It's meant to be Celeste, since Neox already got a start on Faith (I always found Celeste hotter, anyway :p)

[carlo_c]

Finally... got an exterior to show! Started an interior today too, wasn't going to model much for it but got told to not be lazy so trying for some detail. I won't start any materials until I'm completely done with modelling, even though its so tempting to lol.

@MoP, great model + render :) and tips

@carlo_c, something like Forza 2= 100,000, PGR4= 100,000, GT5=400,000 Forza 3= 1,000,000, NFS shift= 50,000 around that!

Your model looks good, cant wait to see the interior

still wip. 506 tris, 128 texture. Need sleep. -_-

about little people, im working an a small scene for my portfolio:


quick concept:

[Zwebbie]

LoTekK: I think your mesh is spot on, but the texture could use some work - colour picking, specifically. Celeste's hair pretty much borders on white, it's very bright and a bit desaturated. Her jeans are much darker in the game than you have them. There's also something off about the colour red you're using, I think, but I can't tell exactly. I'd grab a screenshot and compare the colours if I were you.
Also, am I the only one who thinks it's funny that Celeste's shirt and belt are red, when in Mirror's Edge red usually means GRAB THIS?

[JasonLavoie]

Loving the colours in the second pic JackWhat... a little to vague for me overall, but you are getting some interesting shapes in there which I'm sure will be worked up into something awesome.

[roosterMAP]

I love the boot wth the tower growing out of it. Very creative. You should have a line at the bottom. like: "society stinks) or something.

[Jackwhat]

Mmm, Tis a bit vague, but I liked the mood so i started refining! (spam) Hugely inspired by the awesomeness of tomscholes (as always)

... Tinker tinker tinker.

[Fireflights]

Beauty! The colors definitely make the piece.

[HandSandwich]

Pretty much finished the hipoly. Now I gotta try and figure out how to do this normal map jazz I keep hearing about.

jackwhat, love the colors and mood on that
mikef, sadly no. I usually switch over to blender when doing lowspec textures, but I was still tweaking the mesh and uvs this time round

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/778345/me-celeste-wip2.png

still need to work on a few areas and get some more contrast. I've been working off the concept ratherthan the ingame model (more attractive, IMO)

@lowtekk,
I think you need to pull that edge in the front of her crotch out. It's like she has no pubic bone, just a hole under her diaphram.

I just started working on the high-poly for this thing. Still lots to do.

Maybe I should start a thread for it?

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y29/xkostolny/pawn_003.jpg

This is looking very cool :)

[Espe]

@Holi: where did u got the idea from? it somehow looks familiar
also: maybe u should make the house more crooked? so it ll actually fits the boot.
like this maybe:
http://i49.tinypic.com/dmwly0.jpg

otherwise its an awesome sculpt, love it

[Holi]

Espe: Thanks!
For the inspiration, I am not sure, I had Brian Froud in my mind :)

Right now it is for me more like a challenge to finish it as quick a possible. So I won't change the general shape of the tower.
Thanks for the feedback!

[Jackwhat]

Last time ill spam this here, honest... :heart:

Still gotta work on strengthening the portal look and probably closing the roof off a bit to push the composition a bit better?!

[d2king10]

achillesian: I think you really need to tone that spec down as well as the bump on the text (it wouldn't generally be sticking out that far). You also need to throw in some variation in the texture, right now it is pretty much all just one flat color with some slick scratching, not enough to give it the illusion of a barrel.

[Canden Picard]

This was supposed to just be a treasure chest at first, then I thought "IM gonna add a sword and shield" now I might work on a whole armory.

It's an old engine which unfortunately doesn't use normal maps - it uses greyscale bump maps. But it actually looks okay in the engine regardless. Sadly this is like the first piece of personal art I've actually completed since 2006. lol :(

[brandoom]

Looks awesome regardless. I love the feel of old school space shooters. Make me want to make something.. except HUGE...

Thanks for the crits, this was just testing a couple workflows, creating normals from pictures, photoshopping reference photos, about 15 minutes of work.

I think i'm understanding normal baking in maya, and normal editing in ps, the diffuse is just throw away, didnt even plug in my wacom.



why are greyscale bump maps worse?

The "eye patch" looks strange to me, maybe it's because it has no texture. I am not talking about the lack of symmetry, that's great, but the general look of it is weak and looks like a pancake.

some really cool stuff here !!!

[MALicivs]

To answer a couple of questions, here's a quick process layout (click for full-resolution):

(...)

Side note: If you're feeling adventurous you could also import a higher subdivision level or re-topology mesh from ZBrush and use Skin Wrap (3ds Max) or Wrap deformer (Maya) to attach it to the rig, and use displacement and/or normal-maps to render out a proper animation of the highpoly :)
I might give that a shot at some point just to see how it goes.

Hey MoP just saw your tutorial but can't seem to get it right since I don't know anything about mental ray (or any renderer actually), so could you maybe upload an example file with the correct light setup and a cube or something so we could take a closer look at it?
That would be very appreciated.

Cheers!

Mad props to acapulco for recommending me Thomas Moran... his paintings blow my mind - A start on another master study which i'm gunna finish and attempt to do justice. The last 2 paintings have really highlighted the whole desatured shiz and contrasts of making yellows look greener when placed next to oranges. I'll work that shit out one day.

I dont know what you are using to bake the lightmaps, but try and get color bouncing from the colored areas for the right ME-feeling!

[ether breather]

Glode, that is awesome! What software did you use to make that?

[WesleyTack]

Nice work mikeF, you nailed the assets pretty much perfectly! A couple of things struck me:

I think you're mixing too much color in the same area. When we were working on ME we made sections of colors, not mix them all on one roof. Also the rooftop structures seem a bit too dense/cluttered, you can have some more empty space on a roof imHo
Also the roof that you need to access to finish this section seems to be blocked on all corners? The slanted green rooftop structure is placed on the corner blocking you to get up there? Also try and keep the goal (the red door) clearly visible and not point it in a direction where the player wont notice it. With playable rooftops you also need to be careful what you place on the side walls of that building, it might give the player the idea they can reach or do moves on it. For instance the flagpoles could let people try do a swing and die, or the yellow sun shields on the right side can make people get on top of them and go down a floor and maybe even reach the street level (that is of course if you plan to have all these moves in your game as well).

Of course this could just be a test piece you were doing to get the assets/lighting to work properly, but I still wanted to point these things out as they are easy to look over.

[King Kinetix]

Some things I am currently working on at the moment. The first one is a front bulkhead, modeled using polys, not SubD's or NURBS, just for the challange. I'm aware (now) that the proportions are off, but it's okay, it was just for modeling practice. The second one is King K. Rool done in a similar style from the old Donkey Kong Country series. I plan on modeling a ship as a scene to make a more complete finalized image.

[Flynny]

Even though the sculpt's not finished, I wanted to mess around with rendering and compositing.
Now when I finalise the sculpt, I can just drop it into the scene and render it for instant turnaround goodness :)

http://www.greveson.co.uk/dump/foto_turn.jpg (http://www.greveson.co.uk/dump/foto_turn.avi)

Requires the XVid (http://www.xvid.org/Downloads.15.0.html) codec.

Unfortunately I think I forgot to render out the last frame so it doesn't quite loop perfectly :(

Please dear god tell me you wouldnt mind seeing that animated? ;-D

Either way Mop extreme kudos thats a lovely model!

And to everyone else, some brilliant stuff coming along already! ;-D

made a model to test an old game engine called Dark Sun.

It's an old engine which unfortunately doesn't use normal maps - it uses greyscale bump maps. But it actually looks okay in the engine regardless. Sadly this is like the first piece of personal art I've actually completed since 2006. lol :(

Aahhh, looks soo good, man!! mmm.. Did you make it from a concept art? Whenever I look at it I find your work so awesome! Almost like a visual peak sensation, ehem. :thumbup::poly121:

Thanks a lot man, much appreciated, especially from someone that worked on the original.
These are all great things that i'l be keeping in mind, but as you guessed this is really just a test scene for color as well as modularity. I have about 2 more sets of major props to finish up before i can start doing some actual city layout. But the way i've got it set up now i can drag and drop everything for a complete rooftop in about 5 minutes, so that should go fairly smooth.

Then its onto background buildings, not sure how i'm going to handle that stuff just yet

[Snipergen]

So yeah, first post of the year. Something I am working on:

A L4D2 campaign with Fearlezz, a great TF2 mapper. We're doing each 2 maps (that is planned, maybe a 5th if we go fast but I doubt it). Tons of custom models and textures (and hopefully I can compile a snowshader). But meh I'll make a thread once I have more to show, this is only an hour in. This is a level that has not been done before, an indoor subtropical swimming pool (or whatever it is called in English). It's just the lobby so far :)

Yes you are allowed to laugh with source engine btw.

http://i47.tinypic.com/wa4ndi.png

[Swizzle]

Snipergen, if you want to create some nice snow in Source, take a look at the snow from TF2. It's not realistic, but they did some pretty cool stuff to make it look good. If you have any questions about getting textures on displacements to look good, I'd be happy to offer advice.

Source is ALLIIIIIVE!

You should remember that you cannot have custom shaders in the game, though you can achieve some really sexy effects using Proxies.

Just some quick WIP shots of my Pawn for the mini comp over at GA. I'm doing a zombie based on this concept by John Grello (http://cghub.com/images/view/39805/). Clothes are just blocked in to give me an idea of where I should focus on detailing. Crits welcome.

http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/8808/clothesblockin.jpg

[DKK]

Hey frump I saw that on GA. I Keep thinking its a different guy because of the avatars. Anyway I think you should lengthen the arms a tad, and the shins and feet look a bit long and thick.

[ima]

Well, don't agree on lengthening the arms, I think they look a bit longer than the average human being actually, the thing that looks a bit weird to me is the shin to foot area, can't tell what it is exactly, but I think it could be a bit shorter.
I have never studied anatomy so I could be completely wrong ^^, nice model anyway.

[SpeCter]

I think you shouldn´t make the rings out of planes.Spend some polys form them, it looks to unnatural compared to the rest

[elementrix]

though that is going to add quite a few poly's if you don't want them to look blocky...

[Joao Sapiro]

if its a big element of design theres nothing wrong in making it look good, and that way you can avoid using alpha.

[EarthQuake]

Well he says this is part of a ship, so i would imagine this sort of prop would be instanced a lot, so adding in all that raw geo may not seem like a big deal on a singular asset, but if its something that is repeated 40 times, its going to make a huge impact.

@dkk: Haha yeah, I'm looking for a new avatar to unify across all forums and stuff. Thanks for the crits, I'll play with the length of the forearms and the feet and see what looks best.

@ima: The feet and ankles are very wip, I just roughed them in to get something ready to present, I'll definitely be working on them. I think what's making them seem long is that the protruding bones of the ankle are positioned too low right now, so I can definitely fix that.:)

@bommel: Nice! that looks rad, I really like the presentation.

Good proportions so far but you might want to retopo him.

exactly, if you count the rings in the weels there would be 8 rings on each cannon, there will be 16 cannons instanced on the ship, that would be 128 rings and if each ring would have 50 poly's or so, it would already be ~6000 poly's for such small details.

Rollin mc awesome sauce!

Love the character man, only thing that is a bit hard to read is the fur along his collar, but maybe after you tweak the materials as you said, it could read a bit better.

Either way, awesome execution, and another solid piece for your portfolio.

[MikeF]

absolutely awesome rollin
Agree about with jason about the fur

[Racer445]

Beartraps that looks really great! Those folds are impressive and really help sell the fabric.

Ruz, the wavy bumps on the side will get normaled in, as well as the screws and other small detail, but I'll probably model in a a good bit of the detail since it's such a common prop.

edit: Rollin, pretty cool stuff!

[hawken]

great character rollin.

sword looks a little short though. Might be the perspective.

A rough estimate (from me) is that the blade is normally 3 and a 1/4 times as long as the handle.

Beartraps: wow

[Ravenslayer]

beartraps that looks awesome 0.0

rollin: nice, maybe the metalic head part could have used a little bump

this is a little project i did for school

Still gotta catch up to beartraps (it's really coming together man, keep it up), but here's my hunter challenge WIP.

rollin i would give him a facial expression ;) looks really good ! maybe add some alpha planes to the fur or something reads really weirdly now as mentioned.

[beartraps]

Rollin, that character is awesome. As for the fur perhaps you should use alphas as Johny suggested, that way it can give some nice silhouette that can really sell it.

Raven, that composite is pretty creepy, the lighting on the cg stuff needs some work though. And when the box is opened and the skull comes in, it comes in way to abruptly, perhaps you should fade it in.

and thanks again for the kind words, you all have made my day =)

[conte]

rollin, i totally would play as this guy, unique.

[ima]

Holy fruncking crap rollin, that's amazing!
Texture and everything. Would definitely do as the main character of a 3rd person game!

[Ged]

beautiful rollin and beartraps, actually rollin I think this dude would look cool with his hat tilted forwards rather than back

heres what Im working on a few hours into the texturing so far, finishing off some old mod work before I leave the mod.

[WIP] matte painting - church of the damned!

That bus looks like a balloon! (except for the wheels)

[Ged]

That bus looks like a balloon! (except for the wheels)


you mean the specular doesnt read as metal? Im still working on it so yeah the blue is meant to be a bit like waterproof paint/rubbery but I will work on making the rest more metallic

thanks gcmp the concept shadows look a bit odd on that piece - too flat and straight edged

[Ruz]

nice rollin, but something about the head area bugs me. not quite sure what it is though

[Ghostscape]

That bus looks like a balloon! (except for the wheels)

Yeah I see the same thing. I don't know if the dark bits are just munge or normalmapped dents/damage (they look like this?) but they look like dents and bulges like a collapsing balloon, and not like metal at all.

I am super humbled by the work posted here - so much so that I almost didn't want to post this =)

But here is a low poly boxer I am working on for an iphone game my friend is attempting to make:

I am working on my stylized hand painting...

[vcool]

For some reason he reminds me of Sten from Dragon Age.
