What Are You Working On? 2010 Edition!

[Prophecies]

The tiling texture along the walls isn't what I wanted, so I'll be changing it. The lighting is also experimental right now, there will be a hole in the ceiling where the sunlight is popping in as well :) Oh, and not all my textures are not done yet :P I know my lighting is too dark right now, but I'm experimenting with UDKs lighting system for the first time. I'll get there.

Hello everybody! First post on the forums for me!

But enough chit chat! Here's my attempt to get some sweet forum praise :poly121:

[Gallows]

Bunny, you're off to a great start, great concept and a pretty solid design, I'd just like to see a little bit more attention to the legs. Right now they just seem plain, which is probably better, but I guarantee you can add some sort of extra function.

Pogo, as far as the actual modeling of the drapery goes, that looks excellent to me.

And Prophecies I'm stoked to see you got it in the engine, I'd like to see a lot more updates on this.

[MRico]

This is lookin really good, but it looks a bit off and it took me a minute to realize why: the border of the cloth along the ground is waaaayyy too smooth. It should be a lot more jagged, with some hard corners where one section of cloth covers another... folds shouldn't all just smooth our near the edge like that, there should be some large overlaps and edges protruding. Take a look at THIS (http://www.cgtextures.com/texview.php?id=7920&PHPSESSID=a744805cce548340956162191159f495) and the shapes going on to see what I mean.

@Prophecies: Wow That's so awesome, is that low poly or a sculpt I can't really tell.

[Prophecies]

Is what a low poly or a sculpt? The Griffon? It's a low poly. With a normal map. 4500 tri's.

[AlecMoody]

@prophecies
the lighting in that room is hiding how good that griffon looks.

[Prophecies]

Yeah I am aware of my poor lighting. I am working on that as we speak. I'm still pretty new to lighting, so I'm learning the hard way.

[Mezz]

Looking awesome, Neo_God! I'm pretty flattered that my old design could inspire something this sweet :D

[Prophecies]

So I got the hang of lighting a little more than I did. I think it looks better now:

[Raider]

Some poly making thing. Still pretty WIP but kinda liking it so far

http://brettholton.net/images/shotgun_03.jpg

[felipefrango]

I like the designs Vrav, but I got to ask, how does it feel to work on such a steep angle, IMHO it'd be better, at least for me, to conceptualize the hairs in a more eye to eye level rather from above as you did. Is there any specific reason you prefer to do it like this? Only scenario where I feel I'd be doing it would be if that was the player's point of view in the game.

[marks]

Raider - your grip looks impossibly thin and would be very uncomfortable to hold. Also, the size of the trigger relative to the grip is way too big. I'm digging it though.

[Raider]

cheers marks i knew there was something off but looking at it for ~5hrs makes it hard to kinda figure out what it was, but i've been on a roll so just kept adding different aspects to it.

digging that building crepator

[Harry]

the trigger guard depends on who's firing it and whether theyre wearing gloves

[marks]

Look at the render harry, nobody has fingers half the diameter of their hand - gloves or not.

[n88tr]

Raider! nice shotgun but what do you need two magazines for? Also the lowest tubular magazine looks to hold 10 gauge slugs while the barrel looks like 12 or 16 gauge...small

Also stock looks like a place holder. Maybe some flimsy metal like the AKS would look nice, just some ideas. I like the overall look of it

Crits/comments on diffuse please, spec is just a placeholder (diffuse with no color :P

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is a grenade like device?

I don't really get that idea from the diffuse. The caution strips and text are cool. I think adding in a warning logo/text would help. I'm not convinced yet with the blue either - have you tried other colours? Perhaps make the cracks dark grey, some sort of text/number on each ball, and vary the gray throughout the model.

Not bad though, keep working :)

Fed up with zbrush's i/e scale problem, and the fact that they evidently only have one person on their support team. Giving mud a go, liking it so far. Is there a polygroup equivalent?

Those scratches on the back of the dust cover look a bit weird and out of place... maybe move them outwards a bit so they're on the actual edge? Also the whole receiver looks a bit thin judging by the shape of the dust cover

and I think you're missing some checkering on the pistol grip

Will fix those scratches, I thought so too.
-As for the shape of the receiver I built it with the exact specs of a real AK receiver and dust cover(personally measured an actual AK47 with a caliper) so it's definitely not thin.

[Racer445]

AKs are thinner irl than in games. most of the time we tend to beef them up so they don't look so dinky.

[achillesian]

what are the problems with zbrush you guys are having?

Shaping up nicely, prophesies!

I'm just thinking that, wouldn't you attempt to not place a column in front of your griffon statue? Perhaps use wider vaulting in the "foyer" or what it is :P

It kinda breaks up the space oddly.

[Prophecies]

Yeah I noticed that too. But the final composition of the image will be slightly different. This will also be filmed in the end, so it won't matter *as* much. But I'll find another way around it! Thanks for your concern! :)

Naw I was thinking purely in architectural planning, if you place a big focal point, you shouldn't obstruct line of sight from the other end of the corridor, or atleast do your very best to make sure the person sees it.

So what I meant was that its an odd choice layout wise, not compositionally.

- you can kill purple plants and get experience
- player spawn points
- and a lot of organization and optimizing of organization

HAHA! This sounds like every post to a problem on ZBC. Part of the fun of working with Zbrush is discovering those work arounds, it's like getting a purple drop. I'm really like MB right now though. Because I own a license of ZB, I'll def give 4 a try and see what happens.

Hi,
here's a quick gameplay video of my new game (chain3d). The game is a basically match 3 type of game, but in 3d space. You can try the game at http://bit.ly/9jlwjh
Controls : Click outside the cubes (mouse left) and move your mouse to rotate the cubes.
Click cube (mouse left) to add a new cube (match 3 or more to remove blocks, level is cleared when there is only "a base block" left. ) .
ps. The game is still very wip, so there are a couple of bugs.

I have two minor nitpicks though: It was a bit too hard to rotate the cube (not sensitive enough) and the "auto rotate" was pretty annoying and made me miss my target a couple of times. I'd also prefer to use the right mouse button to rotate the cube so that I can rotate while still having the mouse inside the play area.

Just some suggestions :poly121: Looking forward to seeing it when it's finished!

Sword WIP! Concept by Blizzard, model/colors by me!

Saw this in one of the WoW art books as just a basic sketch and thought it'd be good practice for hand painting :)

Model took about 3 hours.. textures are taking me longer :x first time ive ever hand painted anything!

ps. Lovin the new toolbag!

Looking good ravenslayer! Keep it up!

[Mezz]

Phew! Now this is what you call a labour of love...

For the past few weeks, I've been working on this 2-D animation. As in... all drawings. And not having any good programs for this, my insane workflow was... Photoshop. All frames done in Photoshop, and then brought into Flash, where I put my minimal knowledge of this horrible program to use in figuring out the timing, and exported from there.

This is (I really hope!) the last line drawing test before I colour it, put the table back in, (yes, he's at a table), and call it done :D (Please ignore my key numbers in the bottom right corner!)

[Prophecies]

Wow, mad props on that one! Especially if you did it frame by frame in photoshop! That's pretty well done! I'm not familiar with 2D art very much, but I've heard Toonboom is a pretty good 2D animation program. Might want to give that a shot! ;)

Nifty game diffa. Really cool take on a tired genre.

Just some feedback, when you clear a color it should spawn any more of those colored blocks, it breaks the flow of the game. (this is from a game designer at work)

I'm no concept artist and painting landscapes isn't what I would call my daily work but this was a nice experience

these are no style-concepts.. I'm atm more basic .. figuring out how I can cut the world into peaces I can simply handle to build it in the editor

Thanks for the comments and feedback everyone, I made a bunch of sculpt changes and did another pass on the texture today. Brought her into max tonight and started playing with renders and some photoshop tweaking in post... and discovered I need to fix the sculpted fur and some anatomy, spend a lot more time on the texture and material, and figure out how the freak you guys get those sexy radiosity beauty renders. Hoping to have a final shot up some time tomorrow...

[TheTrooper]

I need a bit of critique on this tree. It was initially a test to see if I could manage to get something that looked like a tree. Should I keep working on it? (currently retopologizing it). The remaining detail (the bark, etc) will be added in the normal map, as I can't sculpt it.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1064618/arbol1.PNG

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1064618/arbol2.PNG

[mheyman]

Honestly it looks like you took a standard brush and just drew lines around the cylinder shape and called them roots. There is no definition and it's fairly blobby. For all I know this could be a block in for a cloth study or something.

You should probably actually look at some reference of bark and roots before sculpting. Retopo at this stage is kinda pointless cause it doesn't really read as tree.

[felipefrango]

Agree with skayne. The blobbiness probably comes from trying to get too much detail too soon, starting on a subdivision level higher than you need. Get to the lowest possible level and get as much detail as you can, block the shape out step by step just as you'd do with a real sculpture or painting. Just like you'd first block out the overall shape of a head, then add more subtle features to only then think about wrinkles and pores, you should first block the main overall shape then think about the roots more specific detail and then do some bark texturing, ALWAYS with a shitload of reference at hand.

[TheDarkKnight]

Made my first steps into environment modelling today, started with some basic stairs.

I don't really know that much about the whole process just yet so basically discovering as I go.

Was hoping if someone could tell me if this looked "ok" for a low-poly stairs, and if it's a good base to start unwrapping and texturing.

The idea is to build an enviroment and learn UDK at the same time

http://a.yfrog.com/img411/7699/qb8.jpg

[BlackulaDZ]

@thetrooper - i suggest adding some more definition with a flatten brush of some sort, then building ontop of it again, as I agree it looks kind of blobby at this point.

http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g75/Chaosdragondz/latestmonkehkang.png

The textures still need the trademark brushy stuff, but eh.

[Y_M]

Looking good swizzle, those tanks though, they look a little bit shiny. I'd say they're in need of a good envmap mask.

Don't forget the detail textures you can overlay ontop of materials, in the materials/overlays folder.

What's the scale of them? person sized? twice person sized? building sized??

[Swizzle]

Yeah, I definitely need to work on the spec/envmap mask a bit more; I want them to fit with the tanks from Gorge, so they still need work. I'd forgotten about detail textures, so I'm glad you mentioned that.

As for size, they're over 800 Hammer units tall. They're based on tanks from refineries, so they're pretty huge.

[shotgun]

@sampson: I'm not sure what do you want to achieve, so I'll just throw out a few things:
- There's no atmospheric lighting, it's very uniformly lit. Create fore- and background light sources, reduce the global "sky" lighting and thus pop out those little glowy bits more locally. This will create more interest and depth in the scene and will reveal the normal-maps, which are muted right now due to the high ambiance.
- Considering how wear-n-teared everything is, it's very clean. Add some scattered elements, prop or via textures, that will dirty-up the place, break-up the consistency and draw the viewer into the scene, compositionally.
- Grey and dull browns will always look grey. Toss some paint in there, don't be afraid. The way the left vertical "beams" are fully brown would work better across the scene, rather then the massive greys. And the darker shapes = deeper, more saturated brown.

[trancerobot]

@sampson, what I would do, is more or less what you've done. You have a corridor leading to a bottomless sky. Make the outside really bright, and the corridor really dim save for the blade of light from the sun penetrating the corridor. Even if you don't take the bottomless sky idea, I think the corridor would really benefit from moody or dim lighting.

And here's something from me.. a simple head modeled in Max, and a bird named "Big Beak". It's supposed to be a giant vulture, but there's nothing else in the picture for scale. Big Beak was done for an indie film maker named Dylon Kiker and I used Blender and 3D Coat. Unfortunately he canceled his project indefinitely.

I know this is a game art forum, so I hope you'all don't mind me posting non-game related stuff.

I agree on the lighting, I think because it is so bright at the same level, there is no contrast in your piece. Also changing some color values in some lights might give it a richer feeling.

got quite far through quite a few levels

[I_R_Hopo]

I like this, great idea :) How did you do the tape/tie bits?


Thanks!
I made the rubber bands by making a circle and resizing it so it roughly went around the parts I wanted it to, then enabled it in viewport/render as rectangluar, and resized it so it was really thin. Then I just manually moved verts around to make the shape I wanted.
Splines are great for making pipes, tape, rope, etc. Great time-saver :)

@Vassago

Everything looks good, but this picture looks horrible http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2355669/bottom.jpg quality wise.

[Joshua Stubbles]

Yeah, I didn't have much of a choice :(
The modified CSS needs to be approved and implemented by a ModDB moderator and they told me I needed to have all of the images used be no larger than 100KB total, for load-speed purposes. The best I could do for all of them (about 7) was about 155KB, which was with (obviously) very heavy compression on some of them. I might try to squeeze some more data back into that one image, since it does in fact, bother me a lot.

Nice sculpt Mladen. I like the way the anatomy is shaping up.

Although I'm pretty experienced in Maya, this is my first attempt at Max. I'm still looking for a few knobs!

Mladen Jovicic - Great model. I love the proportions and posture. You can really feel the weight of that character.

[deadpixl]

I was looking over the new 3dmotive videos and got inspired to make a scifish floor panel during lunch.

Been working on this the last two evenings, might take it further.

[Mladen Jovicic]

catstyle:cheers man, gotta say, your gunslinger model totally kicked my ass into gear. pure inspiration
spatz: haha yeah right, maybe one day
Slipstream:im working on it heh
StevenEgan, ghost-d: cheers, yeah going for more subtle than overly ripped which i had before

[PogoP]

Been working on a generic wooden chest for my environment scene. Still lacks a spec map, but it's wip!

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f332/PogoP/chest2.jpg

[Ooghijmiqtxxa]

Hey PogoP!

That's one of the more impressive looking boxes I've seen. Once you get that spec on there, it'll look ace.

[ZacD]

Dat box, damn!

[Fang]

Damn so much awesome stuff in here. Now that tesselation is just around the corner I thought I'd start playing with displacement maps etc.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3040251/Experimental/ground_displace5.jpg

[sampson]

yeah guys these last few pages have been pretty dam awesome
pogop one thing i'd say is the metal doesnt look quite right (maybe its just lack of spec atm) although the wood is fantastic

[gamedev]

@Fang - material is looking sweet. My only gripe would be the the uniform placement of the rocks though. Try and scatter them a bit differently so they look more natural.

I was looking over the new 3dmotive videos and got inspired to make a scifish floor panel during lunch.

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_shQmEEgj3z4/TE3EpHqRtPI/AAAAAAAAAU0/flURFHCmhMc/s1600/Render01HighpolyDone.jpg

Looks good, but how's it going to tessellate; take the top section off the bits that stick out?
Also, maybe more detail to add a bit more oomph? The the big panels in the middle seem a bit bland. Though I guess it depends on where the floor is being used and what it actually needs to have - aesthetics or strength etc.
I appreciate that theres only so much that can be done in one lunch time, so keep going, as I say, looks good so far :D
