Some of your verts look out of whack, mainly on the window. They dont flow very well. Have you ever used the ffd modifier? I just found out about it a while ago, but when i model my cars its saved my life a hundred times :D

yep you are right about that napkin... those are some hideous verts in the windshield... gotta fix that up..thanks sir

can you make a normals map for a high poly model? i want to add some detail to the side of my axe but i dont think i would be able to do it very well in 3ds max so i wanted to try make a normal map with photoshop to add some tribal swirls and stuff, i sort of know how to make normals maps but im not sure how to do it so that its in the right area if you see what i mean

[3D-209]

Awesome Bal! I think the spec highlights on the edges of the legs might be a little too hot and not varied enough. Reads well on the upper cylinder part, but the I think it could be more subtle on the legs.

Looks sweet though, great job!

You could unwrap the highres and add normal map detail, but it might be a better exercise to make a lowres, UV it, bake normals from the highres, then add additional normal map detail in photoshop. It's a simple enough object that it wouldn't take too long and you'd probably learn more that way. But yes, it's possible to add normal map detail to your highres if you're set on doing it that way, you'll just need to unwrap it first.

yeah i guess ill wait until iv finished modeling it and then do a low poly and try and do it that way, fingers crossed.

still need to finish the handle anyway just can decide what to do with it
i might get rid of that inset handle thingy it looks wrong doesnt it

[EricV]

Bal that robot is awesome!! I would very much like to see a little more work on the metal tho. right now there is not too much difference from the robot or the sidewalk. I think the metal would look a lot more convincing with a stronger specular, and a bit of reflection

http://www.robertfletcher.org/pictures/albums/userpics/quarian_alt.jpg

Nice, but i guess (even though the quarians are not the best example), mass effect design is all about "less is more". I'm trying to find something as classy as Bioware designs and the more i search, the more I believe that classic (almost boring) designs are what is most likely to work. You have to imagine it with material variation and specular effect. So even for quarians, i would go with very simple clothing, and adding the extra customisation (like drapery and such) at the very end.

Anyway good luck, i'm looking forward to see what you do with the original design, i'm such a ME nerd these days (I may try to do quarians too)

[dansher]

ok this is like the 50th thing iv tried to make today lol
anyway im trying to make a floor and im not sure how to unwrap this part, it has a few parts to it all up but its just this section that im not sure how to do so if anyone can help me it would be great

[GCMP]

im trying to make a floor and im not sure how to unwrap this part
http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j116/dansher1211/unwraphelp.jpg

If this is for a floor I presume there will be quite a few of them in a scene meaning high polycount. Try baking this onto a flat plane/box that way your unwrapping is simplified and you save a ton of polys too. If you are using a normal map you shouldn't be able to tell the difference between that and geometry due to the viewing angles.

ps: it would be good to make the rest of the floor first to put on a single texture sheet.

[gauss]

This one for EQ. he a busta

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4726438/AM/dardick15k%2Bstock_lowpoly.jpg

first low poly for a baked asset so i'm fairly expectant to have to go back and fix shit.

[felipefrango]

Bal, that is one awesome render, your model looks ace. Only thing that kinda bugs my eye is the lack of self shadowing, I'd expect the body to cast shadows on its rear left leg for example, it looks kinda off that it's just as lit as every other part but it's still in the shadow area. Other than that this is already a killer.

[Bal]

Thanks guys!
EricV, yeah I definitely some more work on the spec/reflection I guess. There is reflection already, it's quite visible when I turn around the model in the viewport, maybe I'll boost it a bit.

felipefrango, weird, it is casting shadows on itself already (it's a realtime screenshot from the max viewport, with Xoliul and cast shadows), guess maybe the light position could be better, will work on that.

[felipefrango]

Thanks guys!

Hmm, yeah, taking a second look I can see shadows on the body I've missed before. Still feels kinda light compared to the ground but if I'm the only one who "noticed" it the issue might be in my eyes rather than on the model haha.

[Bal]

felipefrango, no actually you're kind of right, I had the shadow multiplier alot lighter on the model, which probably explains why. Looks better a bit darker, thanks.

Nice work endomi and bal! your robots are coming out awesome, great designs on both as well.

[an aggressive napkin]

Gauss, If thats for a baked asset, you could tone down the cylinder sides on the barrel alot actually, you should only need around 12/14 if you really want it detailed. The normal map should be able to do the rest

In addition to this the trigger guard on the pistol could be halfed in polycount. You also need to get rid of the pistol's symmetry because all it's doing is adding unnecessary polygons.

E:
Those little bevels can also be taken out because it'll be handled by the normal map.

dfacto that is the coolest

[rollin]

Vitor: this guy is missing some kind of joint for the toes.. this looks all very metal and if there is no way to bend the toes his walk will look very funny

also your back is not as defined as the front .. why? esp with the noise on it it looks unfinished there. in general the noise is not doing this any favor .. it's way to low frequent and too strong and doesn't give any idea of what material the surface is made of. its everywhere on the skin and everywhere the same size and strength

other parts like the metal looks already quite good

keep it up!

I still got to work into some bits but gonna start refining the legs soon I think.

@Medestruit:
You should focus on shapes a bit more, and less on the rendering. In this one the noseholes are really wonky, and the mouth too. Your last paint had redneck teeth and some general wonkyness, also a lack of volume in the hair.

Also, try to use as big a brush as possible, and later add in details, small brushes make things messy quick.

Well neither are finished, or even close to it, really. In the previous, I have a distortion on the teeth that no matter what I do the perspective seemed way off. Most of that was just being a little off on shading, moreso than shape. That's really the same case with the nostril holes on this one too, the shading is too hard on the inside, making it look larger than it actually is(i.e. the lower left of the left nostril hole when looking at it needs to fade more into the light, and the lower left of the right nostril hole when looking at it needs to flow into the lighter area coming from the lower right portion of the nose).

How much larger of a brush? I did the majority of the work with a brush around 40-60 in size, other than lips/tongue and the middle third portion of the nose).

And on the nose, now that I look at it after stopping for a while, there's a color mis-match on the left nostril that really makes it look ugly, haha. Woops. That along with piss-poor blending make it look extremely bad. I'm pretty terrible at digital shading, for whatever reason. Noses have always been my biggest weak point on getting the blending to correctly define shape. -.-

https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/Photos/gogeta-33/A-Lambo_High_Sheet.jpg?w=be2b0c9d

mine:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2323296/PC%20Folder/wtf_udk.jpg

notice how mine doesn't have /photos/ anywhere in the shit?

now heres a photo from my "photos" folder
https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/Photos/Sample%20Album/Boston%20City%20Flow.jpg?w=43238322

notice how the url follows the exact same setup as yours and doesn't work.


your still trying to link from your photos folder.

it goes

dropbox -> public -> pictures

or if you want an organized folder system

dropbox -> public -> sub folder -> pictures


more importantly your trying to link from a "secure" folder.

https vs http

(adam sorry to gank an image, but your the only one I knew for sure that used db)

the easiest way to tell if its going to work at all is if you right click on the image link thats inside your dropbox folder it should drop down a list and if one of them isn't copy link address, your in the wrong folder.

:thumbup: thanks :thumbup:

or use the attachment system ^.^

Your gravel is awesome, but the railroad ties are wonky, those things are tougher than **** and don't really warp. I get its all baked down to the ground plane but the actual rails, but I'd consider the extra 60-70 tris for the railroad ties to actually have depth, and not be wavy. Then again it all depends on how much realestate they take up right? *shrug*

I am super sorry that you feel like I am being a smart ass. I assure you that is the farthest thing from my intentions. I thought that I had copied over all of my files from my pictures folder on dropbox, to my public folder. Then, I was still posting images from the wrong folder. It was simply a mistake on my part. I am certain that it has been resolved now, and won't happen again in the future. So, with that said I am going to repost my sheets for my shotgun pistol model. Have patience with me, this is very new to me (aside from being quite frustrating), but I am sure that I've figured it out now.https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7804856/vegito-33/shot_gun_high_sheet.jpg

hey guys this might be a really dumb question but how do i render a pic of a model with wires? i did it the other day and now cant remember how i did it lol

you can do it with vector render in maya, I know theres another way, but its been so long I've forgotten.
Max I think its just the "wire" checkbox in the mat-editor.

or just turn on your wires in viewport and screencap :) not the best for presentation, but if your just wanting wire crits meh.

[empeck]

This is awesome. Would you mind telling how you went about doing the high poly model?

Sure. I've modeled seven different pebbles, uv mapped them, textured (I'll be baking diffuse too) and placed around by hand (hehe). It's over two thousand individual pebbes over there :)

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/202612/polycount/track_comparison.jpg

[Snader]

Well at least you colored them, otherwise you'd have a long job ahead with the diffuse map... looks really nice btw.

@meador:
That thing actually shoots shotgun shells? What about the blowback?

I hope you're joking about placing them by hand...

[sampson]

i spose if u manually arrayed them so that you get a nice grid. then ran a script to rotate each thing randomly it would be alot easier?

[Wahlgren]

Zbrush + Good alpha map = Much easier.

[achillesian]

http://i49.tinypic.com/sb4sug.jpg

[empeck]

I made a pebbles cluster, copied and rotated it few times, then selected another cluster, etc. Softimage doesn't have a nice scatter like 3dsMAX does. Making it this way helped me to make a base diffuse texture. It wasn't that time consuming after all, and I'm very pleased how normalmap looks in UDK.

[Andreas]

How did you get it to tile though?

[empeck]

Track length is exactly 4m. I've placed pebbles on one side of the track segment, merged them together, copied and moved by 4 meters to the other side. I've left a small overlap on highpoly model. Then baked a normalmap That's all.

I'd like to export it to Railworks game, tracks pieces over there are 4m long. It will allow to make a procedural loft with curves etc. I have to wrap my head around docs though.

Why didn't you just do a simulation to place them all?

[maze]

hey thanks for the comments guys, really appreciate, yeah I want to finish this thing soon...

conte: it is part of a character....even if doesn't look like..haha, I'll try to put stuff together for the next time

hal: thanks man, by floaters, didnèt meant stuff to bake, but some geometry that need to be connected to the main piece (meaning I am still missing some parts), like the suspension.

the5: really like those lines man, really smooth curves you've got there, I think it' lll be kickass if u keep that style all along the character...

vitor, thats awesome dude, seriously lots of detail on your dude, specially like the skull faces! good work bro.

Asteric: thats ok man, we ve all got to start somewhere, hey is it a plastic cone in stone? I am not sure what it is. Also I ve got the impression, you are needing more resolution (sub-d) for those cracks.

[MR_Verkerk]

Today I tried to make something thats a tad more realistic than my previous work.

http://www.markverkerk.nl/wp-content/uploads/Arch.jpg

Critz and comments would be really appreciated as its my first real try at a realistic piece and my first real attempt at using photos for the texturing. Diffuse and normals are 1024x512, the specular is 512x256. The model is presented to you in 3dsmax using Xoliuls shader version 1.5

[Asteric]

@Maze thanks for the comment, it is actually a concrete bollard, so all of that stuff at the bottom is the support that goes into the ground, and that soily bit is some ground that has been lifted up. As for the resolution, i agree, but i simply cant go any higher, im at 2 mil now, and at the moment i am only running 2gb of ram, so i think an upgrade is in order.

[felipefrango]

@MR_Verkerk : Looks like a good start but those tiles that get bent around the corners look very very weird, they'd be sliced at the edge. Take a look at reference and try to apply these subtle details to your textures, especially when using photos.

[MR_Verkerk]

Thanks for the feedback, I'd think im done with this one:)

I straightened out the edges, replaced the concrete with a less contrasted version, removed the seam through the middle of the columns, removed a lot of noise from the normals map and made the difference between the 2 tile orders a bit more separated. Hope you guys like it:)

http://www.markverkerk.nl/wp-content/uploads/Arch3.jpg

[felipefrango]

Actually that's not what I meant, you now have a whole line of tiles bending over the corner, tiles don't bend like that, they're made of porcelain and would break before even beginning to look like this. Check how tile filled walls and columns behave on corners:

http://www.selectinteriors.com/gallery/Bathroom2_1197475764.JPG

http://effenesstile.net/images/project1_bathroom_tile.jpg

Tiles have to be cut accordingly to fit, you can't have tiles simultaneously on two different planes. Maybe you're confused by brick corners which don't have a seam between planes, but that happens because the brick has more volume and are placed on the very corner so two different sides are being shown.

http://www.generalsteelexteriors.com/images/brick_deep_corner.jpg

[ZacD]

I dont like how the wood doesn't look straight and appears bent, but the diffuse + normal looks awesome so far.

[Medestruit]

Well, not entirely about the corner tiles. There are round-cut tiles that mold to rounded surfaces. The only difference being that they usually aren't full tile size, generally more quarter-tile sized at most.

Brick can be rounded too, :p

[meador_forest]

hey guys this might be a really dumb question but how do i render a pic of a model with wires? i did it the other day and now cant remember how i did it lol

The way that I do it is to make a copy of your model, and apply a material with wires turned on. Turn the diffuse color of that material to black, and turn down the size to something like .5. Then, apply a push modifier on the copy, push it to .1-.25, and viola... Your render will now show wires over the model.

[Prophecies]

Well actually as it is now it fits my reference. apparently there are tiles specially shaped to fit such corner pieces. These days there are always exceptions to these sort of things:)

Thats actually the worst way of doing shaded wireframe shots...considering this is a game-artist board, the best way might be doing a screenshot with a realtime shader or from an engine...if you insist on rendering it, use a composite material (3ds Max) with a wire Material in the second slot...no need for a copy of the model and the wires will be accurate, too...

Anyone else noticed random black faces on meshes? They were pretty much vertex edited cubes, and yet some of the faces when rendered to texture came out black. Mighty odd.

I am currently working on this project as a test to utilize a totally new work flow that will be base mesh modeling>>zbrush sculpting>>3ds Max Multi sub object based baking. This will increase the possibities for hard edge modeling/sculpting for all next genny based props/envrionments

Picked an all time favourite of mine to start with:

Here is the low poly shotgun pistol sheet, rendered in Marmoset. **This is the first model that I every plugged in to the Marmoset engine. It was a little tricky that first time.https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7804856/vegito-33/shot_gun_marmoset_sheet.jpg

Finished up some guns, could use more detail maybe or fixing

I couldn't get the boolean stuff to work on the cheytac where the stock rods would fit into beyond the mag but it looks a lot better than my previous. Oh yeah and I didn't add a bolt channel to the cheytac, it needs that too.

Working on this tileable texture...my first effort.

As shitty as it continues to look, I am having quite a bit of fun screwing around with the decrepit and saggy skin. Get some interesting detail by just scribbling around and adding some highlights here and there.

very cool butterfly knife. Nice modeling but I am not a fan of the brightly colored models. I think they would look a little better with a shade of gray and maybe a hint of of some other color

Your rails are all wrong, but everything else looks pretty good. My other complaint though is the tiny bullets on the pistol :l

[n88tr]

Thanks brightside. I just redid the rails, looking at my refs. The bullets are small, I didn't see that till now, thanks again.

Looks nice, I really dig the design of the gun, and its nice to see an XSI user.

neox: sweet design, and killer helmet shader : )
choat: love the style, man. keep it up!

[StefanH]

@breakneck
really sweet. If you are using 18k i would expect the frontwheels to be a bit rounder though...

[Millenia]

better ^

and very nice tractor breakneck

Nice. That's native here in our country. :)

I actually own one, but different design.

[Raider]

badass tractor breakneck, gogo texture :D

that knife is coming along really nicely as well millenia

Anyway here's the latest of my gun, prob 80% done, need to tweak things like the tape etc

Great work mil, can't wait to see your texturing skills put to work >:D

it has to be bright red when you texture it :D

[Andreas]

Are those smoothing errors you are getting around the rings Mill?

[Millenia]

Pinching on the high poly I guess, will try to fix em with PS when I can be arsed

[n88tr]

Haha Raider, now the hammer looks too fat. Whatever, it's still a great-looking gun.

Nice butterfly, Mil, the red light casts a strange shadow but it's looking tight. Ever consider a wooden handle instead of plastic, try something new, maybe with gold rivets?

[acapulco]

This is awesome! What it really lacks is some kind of Subsurface scattering in the plants. They look darn dead. I dont know how to achieve, but it would really help the scene to get some more life!

[Papa_Austin]

thanks acapulco (http://www.polycount.com/forum/member.php?u=26983), I love your work on air borne by the way

yeah, i have a bit on it now...i will have to try and bump it up, and now that i now the whole thing with the color look up tables in udk may ( hopefully it will fix a lot )

Done maybe. I dunno, I'm kinda happy with it.

[MR_Verkerk]

Small update:)

[LeoJr]

Max and Mudbox (for texturing, didn't sculpt), supposed to look like it belongs with UT3's Ronin. Took about two weeks to this point.http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y175/LeoThunderJr/RedMiria_MB_01p.jpg

[boyluya]

Another gun for my portfolio. Based on a concept art from the Borderlands game. High poly is almost done. I'll post other views later (my comp renders so slow).

[Martin Henriksson]

Great looking gun Boyluya!

Some zsphere doodle i did today:

http://martinh.se/fnt.jpg

Also needed some advice, i originaly planned on making him into some goblin type character but after playing abit with polypaint before ending this session i felt like testing a different direction, some sort of sickly albino demon type thing... This is only like a 5min paint test but would like som input. Anyone think it would be a cool direction to take it in?

finished texture work, now anim WIP

[yoyomon]

Nice stuff!

LeoJr: It's looking pretty good. You should probably rethink the hair banes though. At first I thought she was wearing a hat.

Nice assets prolow. Goldfish are my fav.

[Snader]

@Prolow
You sure you're finished texturing? The skeleton is rather flat...


Max and Mudbox (for texturing, didn't sculpt), supposed to look like it belongs with UT3's Ronin. Took about two weeks to this point.
You've got the team style looking pretty ace, little to comment on that. The only thing I'd suggest is giving the mesh a less red gray, instead using more yellow or blue even.
Currently, the whole has a warm feel to it, and it needs some cooler colors to contrast.

Also, the texture still feels too painterly for UT with the creases painted in black and in general looking a bit fuzzy and showing brush strokes, but I assume that's because it's still WIP.

@ Verkerk
Make sure to give the sun a warm feeling, this should look nice in contrast with a cooler color in the tunnels. Not sure about the concrete ceiling. What state is the tunnel in, is it being built, in use, or abandoned?
The ceiling suggests they still need to tile it, place a trashcan in the removed tile, hang up a sign in the back etc. There's also no trash but that's due to WIP
On the other hand, most of the surfaces appear finished and there's a bit of dirt on them, so it looks somewhat used, though as of yet lacking trash, clutter, props.
On the third hand, that one tile looks like it's supposed to be broken. But none of the other floortiles show any damage.
Lastly, that one yellow cornertile is a bit repetetive.

@Papa Austin:
Looks really nice, though it feels a bit too yellow/orange. There's also some really blue plants in the bottom right. Perhaps unify the plant colours a bit more to a medium green? Also, translucency would be a huge boon to this scene indeed.

@breakneck:
Like it a lot. Love that you modeled in the rear tracks, makes it a lot more real. Though some parts (seat, front wheels, hood). If you're not willing to go for a higher polycount, you could save some tris by making the wheel hubs with alpha planes (if you're not already), those holes look like they cost a bunch of polies.

[Revel]

@prolow
That's cute lol :)
Well yea I agree with Snader for now it looks flat, probably bake in some AO map and multiply it onto your texture will improve on your "flatness" issue.

[Peris]

that's fantastic prolow!
