What Are You Working On? 2010 Edition!

[Swizzle]

I'm working on a redesign of my portfolio so it doesn't look so much like a bad PowerPoint presentation. I have more work to do.

[ScudzAlmighty]

I like the image layout, but I'm not crazy about that big blue font.

little update here, still need to do the bandana properly, and I'm not sure what to do about the gloves, googling 1850's railroad worker attire was not as fruitfull as one might expect:

[Ravenslayer]

looking good scudz

Swizzle: i think there are to many gradients going on, the blue is to vibrant and your header is way to big . try to keep it more subtle

oh noooo i've always wanted to do a feddie ball D: nice work on the details. I've always wondered how i would go about doing the panels on the main sphere. did you do anything special for them?

scudz, so much better!

ravenslayer as well great, maybe the heads are a bit too large?

@ScudzAlmighty (http://www.polycount.com/forum/member.php?u=27918)

You will probably find that rail workers from that time period didn't wear gloves.

But yeah, hard to find any refernce for that time period and subject.

Looks good, and as Neox said, much better compared to the earlier rendition.

haha nice animations. Also I was looking at your webpage....well the directory, out of curiosity what was that SOTU for? I actually scrolled through it and read it. Nice job on that.

I love this character, I think it's fabulous.

BUT, the stitches don't fit the game. Compared to the rest of the TF2 universe, those stitches add far too much detail.

[Muzz]

nice dado ad scudz!

Made more progress, and started on a prelim texture, though i might have to redo some of it as i was messing with proportions while i was starting to texture.... Things look so much different as soon as you add texture.

I really need to do more 3d.... i havent finished anything since college last year.

[Massbot]

Ruz + Scooby - Thanks for the feedback guys! I think pushing it more towards monster or human is a really good idea. The sculpting was a bit rushed so I'm going to go back and look at all the volumes etc as well.
As for your displacement issues - I've only ever used them in mudbox to XSI so not too sure, in my mini guide thread i've done a really quick write up of geting them working nicely between those two packages - it may be no help at all but maybe theres some transferable info :P

[felipefrango]

@Prophecies: Glad to see you got your wing modeling issues resolved, it's looking good. I find it unlikely that such fine detail sich as the tips of the talons would be left intact over time, IMHO it's one of the first things that would degrade and break off.

[Prophecies]

Thanks! Yeah I'm adding wear around there as we speak. :)

[JasonLavoie]

Gosss, aces man... ACES!

[felipefrango]

Oh cool. Try just chopping parts of the geometry off on the fine tips, like on the talons, the tail, maybe the tip of the longer feathers on the end of the wings...

[Zoid]

amazing imageswielding marks is superb attention subtle details.

the only thing that i question is the 3 chevrons modeled into the rudders, a sergeant/ Senior Airman plane? i just feel those would be left to texture only.
but also i think they are upside down?

I'm a big fan of Ben Mauro. (www.artofben.com (http://www.artofben.com)) Here is something I've been tackling whenever I get free time. Inspired by some of his concepts.

Planned to be a very short cinematic (matinee) of a train going by. I just got back to it after a little break. It's really busy right now, but wanted to share progress so far before I started digging deep into this again.

hey all,

im working on a dragon head based on the cover of brisingr by Christopher Paolini,

http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j116/dansher1211/brisingrcover.jpg

im having a bit of a problem with that eyebrow part, when i made the base mesh in 3ds max i didnt model that part in i was just going to scuplt it, but in zbrush when i try to make it, it gets very lowpoly when i try and pull out the antenna looking bit is there a way i can do that part with out going back into 3ds max and modeling it into the base mesh?

cheers,

hiya! So ive decided to attempt to take my concept to 3D which is new for me. im a concept artist so character modeling is new and fun. My character is WOW stylized and about 1200 polys and only about 6 tris. looken forward to some good feedback on here than some other sites my other work has been on. i attached my concepts and model so hopefully they go through :)

Hey Peris, you know I've always liked your trademark brightly-painted panels. This latest concept is an evolution while still retaining your futuristic flair. Good work!

poopviking, do you think you could refrain from posting images the size of that sketchbook collage? It's 7MB and breaks the tables until it loads... you could post it at less than 50% those dimensions and nothing would be lost. For the record that is some sweet lineart, of which I'm envious, but the image is just too huge. Thanks :)

hey Vrav what did you paint that in?

[Vrav]

hey Vrav what did you paint that in?
Photoshop, I just use a round opacity brush

[dansher]

Photoshop, just use a round opacity brush

really? thats awesome, iv only ever really used ps for making like web design type stuff, might have to have a go at some real painting when i finally get a tablet

[Vrav]

It has some nice brush settings, but no blending is done between the brush and the pixels you're painting on, like in Painter / Sai / MyPaint, or basically anything else. They've got some new painting tools in the works for the next version, but it's pretty brute force as it is.

I kind of like it that way, personally - predictable behaviour - but the dynamic brush blending the other apps have is really best for painting. I just prefer Photoshop's level of control... over layers, blending methods (like overlay) and colour editing; makes for a modular experience, good for nondestructive editing and such before flattening the layers down to keep on painting. :) Plus I can cut off a limb and rotate it if it looks wonky; can't always do that so easily in the more artsy programs.

Ideally I would just draw it right the first time, but heh, always learning. edit: yeah, the thing with tablets is that you have pressure sensitivity, controlling the opacity (or size if you prefer that) of the brush is absolutely key. Painting with a mouse sucks not only because it's awkward and unnatural but you would have to spend forever clicking and clicking strokes at a low opacity to get any smooth blending at all.

You should totally look into getting a tablet. :) Drawing digitally is freeing, no materials required, so it's easier to study and improve too. Nothing beats knowing how to draw well with a pencil, but taking that skill into digital is where it's at these days, IMO.

check this out http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1180910#post1180910

[dansher]

damn it i really want to buy a tablet now :( i dont want to try painting just with the mouse because that will probly just frustrate me and put me off it lol

Update:

Part 2 includes a collage image of the Tier 3 WIP. It's coming along nicely I think. Tier 4 will be a bit overkill but that's what I'm planning on once I get Tier 3 finished. I don't want to say too much about it, it's that fun!

I am working on this head, trying to get a decent "generic masculine" look. Basics before adding too much detail. Nostrils too wide I think, also I forgot to smooth out between the brow, etc. But it's more or less getting there; supposed to be a medieval warrior, anyway...

God damn this whole thread is just full of amazing art...

[ceebee]

I'm taking an intro to zbrush class despite me having used it for almost 2 years now. Our assignment was just a dragon head and I said screw it I can do a whole dragon in a week or two. Progress so far (scaleless and most subtools aren't blended together yet, everything still needs quite a lot of work):

Firebert: The arm look really amazing. great detail. Maybe its just me, but i think the underarm looks abit too short though..

xvampire, I'd suggest accentuating his latissimus dorsi and general ribcage shape just a touch. Right now he looks like a pair of shoulders on a tube.

Still working on my Skywarp and decided to mess around with an animation...had a lot of fun with it and trust me I know there is tons wrong with it....not bad for animating without a rig though (but oh god it took forever lol). Let me know if you at least enjoyed it a little :x :)

really good Jaco...

Really cool work Jaco

[felipefrango]

@xvampire: I like the concept, but his face looks a little too human to a point where it looks weird. IMHO I'd expect more animal features on the face, the it is now it reminds me of that fish with a human like face that showed up on the news some years ago:

http://thejesuscodpiece.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/fish_human_face_1.jpg

[Cap Hotkill]

Very good Jaco, I love how you worked the Unsymmetry of the model.

[woogity]

exceptional Jaco!

Xvampire, i agree with felipeframgo on the face, maybe play with the lips and nose a bit more, bringing in some more animal references to make it seem a little more beastie. looking good tho!

This thread keeps me inspired. Love all the work here. Figured I might drop in some of my own art.

I'm a big fan of Ben Mauro. (www.artofben.com (http://www.artofben.com)) Here is something I've been tackling whenever I get free time. Inspired by some of his concepts.

Planned to be a very short cinematic (matinee) of a train going by. I just got back to it after a little break. It's really busy right now, but wanted to share progress so far before I started digging deep into this again.

Feels very segmented, almost like it's gonna transform into a robot :P This is probably due to the breaks being visible in the 3 dimensions though. If you embedded that into another mesh you wouldn't notice.

Adam, your rock looks like cast pewter.

[Y_M]

Working on some snowy rocks for source. After a few trial attempts at the rock's snow I've got something I might be happy keeping, though I still feel it's too blotchy.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2126504/allusion-wip/bettersnow.JPG

Also, thanks valve/steampowered forums for breaking the site tonight

(setting is something like 10,000+ft up a mountain, well above the tree-line and any foliage)

[Swizzle]

Y_M, try setting up a scene in whatever 3D package you use with your rock model and a single directional light above and then bake the lighting into a texture. You can then use it as a base for a snow mask. It'll make it easy to have the snow on just the top parts of the rock.

[Unleashed]

God she's hot, nice project. I would suggest turning down the end of the nose a bit and accentuate the ribs a bit more. The scar near the mouth seems a bit "pronounced" compared to the concept. Nice work overall.

Jesse, looking for crits? or just posting?

Too bad! HA HA! <3

That looks like a pain to hold Jesse. Specifically the bump right where the web of your hand would go. If the grip is the proper scale, the trigger and trigger guard seem too small. If the trigger are is human scale then the grip is too big.
Otherwise seems good. Maybe a little "techy for techy's sake" for my taste. I feel like you could simplify some of the forms and end up with a more compelling piece.

[Jesse Moody]

Ahh Nick you asshole!... Why you gotta be right. What the fuck was I thinking? Jesus now that i look at it.. who the fuck would hold this thing... Ok back to the hp and lp to fix some shit...

[maze]

hey Jesse, I like the front part from that gun so far, but I am not sure about the two beveled shapes in the back of the gun, I have the impression they are a bit imposed. There is already quite some detail in the front, might be smart to have the back cleaner, as to let the design breath more. Also I agree with tumerboy about the grip. Hope this helps!

I think if you pulled the trigger / guard back to get rid of that space between the guard and the grip, it would be more inline with what people expect to see...other than that, it looks like a cannon...good stuff.

Jaco: Great stuff lately man. Very realistic interpretations.

This latest one tho, the face/neck strike me as being way too thin for a woman who's body is that heavy. I could be wrong of course, as I'm not looking at refs, but my immediate reaction is "whoah, slightly thick face...really fat body"

[Jaco]

Thanks man, and good call. The woman I was using as ref does have a pretty strange face (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9051867/WIPs/Ref.jpg) considering her body, but the neck was way off.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2528431/WIP/TKB-011_wip04_ejection_port.jpg

The ejection tube is still there but it no longer running above the whole length of the barrel. Its just shorter and curves off to the side. Judging by the photo on the left I would say that the tube is angled slightly to deflect the shell out at a more of a right angle.

[Sandro]

the bricks on the floor feel far too large and really make this place feel tiny. i would scale them back a bit to about 1/4 or 1/2 of their current size. other than that, looking ace!
based off the lowest arch on the wall, which is what i would take as a little taller than the height of the player, these look like they would come up to between their knees or their waste.

[PogoP]

Disagreed. I like the chunkiness of the floor bricks.

[mr.sin]

maybe the corners of the stones are beveled slightly too much.. I like it ;). I would say it depends on the style you're heading for.

I agree about the scale thing in Prophecies' environment, the big bricks do make the place look rather tiny and I think you could keep it's chunkiness while scaling them down a bit.

i hope you are doing some imagination work in between those studies, its hard to apply what you are learning to your own work otherwise. Also still life from real life subjects is alot better practice than photos. Onions and any other vegetable or fruit are great for colour.

That's fucking bizarre. It must deposit the cartridge there on the bolt's retraction and eject it when the bolt returns. It's awesome tbh but i bet it's the first thing that would break.

[c0ldhands]

Cool design, but how the heck do you hold it, let alone fire it?

[Rumkugel]

i like the idea behind it, but i have the slight feeling that if you fire or try to shoulder it, you´d either behead yourself or lose an ear ^^

[conte]

hawt!

[Neox]

also is the blade right in fron't of the barrel?

@neox: If you look close enough you should see that the barrel is not lined up with the blade.But i can´t imagine where the fire pin would be, aside from that the hole where the sheels are supposed to fly out is to small even for a small calibre.

@Rumkugel: Your comment made my day :)

A Sculptris skeleton I've been doing. Figured I'd do a study of all the bones. In progress. The shaderball and background are made to look like they are effecting each other.

I think many details you have modeled can be deleted ... The normal map will do the work.

Cool design, but how the heck do you hold it, let alone fire it?

You know what design is? Design is the fusion of form and function. Good design describes its function out of its form. It shows you how to handle and what to do with it without words. By just make it look cool its just random.
Its not a good or cool design if you ask how it works.

The model you are talking about looks good in modeling technical wise, but lacks design.

sculptris could use a better trim/flatten tool, almost every sculpt i see out of it looks somewhat blobby.

Thanks for the responses all!

The best way to hold it is uncomfortably.

By the way Rum Kugel, that sculpt is pretty awesome, I love the feet and head!

Thanks Conte!

acapulco, you're talking about industrial design rather than general design. General design is how something is aesthetically structured. By I.D. standards, it is pretty awful, as it's just a greebled up rod with blades and guns stuck to it with questionable usability. However when I extrapolated the sort of mechanical collage Mezz used in her concept (http://i635.photobucket.com/albums/uu76/Mezz26662/Sketches/LongWeaponedGirl.jpg) I decided to take it to a more ridiculous level with no serious concern regarding functionality.

SpeCter, This is off the top of my head, but I would imagine the firing pin would operate on a sort of oscillating mechanism going back and forth between barrels while another mechanism is sliding bullets into the chambers and perhaps a curved chute leading to the top where the shells are pushed out of the opening. However I think I'll take you're suggestion on making the opening larger.


Swampbug, that's looking pretty legit so far!

[HonkyPunch]

That looks stupid and dangerous and I want one.

[BunnyJen]

Agreed!!!!! :D

This is what I'm doing at the mo. Big old mean monster that collects/kills people and turns them into puppets.

That's great Bunny! Scary stuff.

Working on a cloth study in Zbrush/Max for a little competition environment I'm working on. It's slowly coming together!
