Been working on a game engine for my school practicum (final project). Just getting phsyx integration completed. Still have lots of work to do: Shadows, Audio, Particles, GUI, among other things.

Decided to play around with metal objects and a greentooth helmet mesh that was passed along to me.

My take on "Willy the Chicken", still a WIP
at 3622 tris
I took Concept from an old comic in Thailand by Suphon Menakom

http://lh6.ggpht.com/_fCFsHMOKy-c/TKhjay5ygsI/AAAAAAAAAFw/sYH1u2h2Xbc/s720/jpg_01.jpg

Rendered in Marmoset, The feather display fine in the viewport, but in the screen shot the alpha doesn't work, I will look into the Marmoset thread to find the answer to this.

[PolyHertz]

Razorb: You should do a timelapse one of these days, always enjoy seeing your work :)

just fyi though, viewport options are still showing threw on the top left of your first pic

[Razorb]

thanks guys! and ya PolyHertz i really dont care about most stuff like that as most of it is unfinished anyways! heh the waterfall things where just temporary additions and the blue light imo fights too much with the other bright ass light from outside.. and well i could go on :P! but ya nice spotting that i didnt even realise.

i may do a vid at some point but really i am just using a method that i learned from whit bracna's massive black dvds so if you really want to see someone who is actually good at concepting :P www.brushbook.com check out his tutorial section! but ya if i were to make a video it would just be a shit version of his! so there aint that much point ;x

[kYo]

working on improving my (so far non-existent) modeling skills in MAX

http://www.psytraxx.de/gameartist/docks/day5_refined2.jpg

around 9000 tris right now, i guess will be ok for such a big thing right?

really not sure how to texture it cleverly tho, UDK limits to 2048² maps for vehicles, i could use tiling and/or maybe even 2 of those but i´d rather just use a single 8192² lol and make everything have unique uv´s for crazy nextgen and easy baking/normalmapping and re-using the same channel for the lightmaps but i guess thats just a dream..

any best practice tips for such big assets? :/

[Medestruit]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/Impetual/design%20stuff/octoposter11x17.jpg

Haven’t really been working on this the last few days, doing some drawing stuff with pencil/micron pens/paper. I’m pretty much making it a poster(I don’t think it’d look good on a shirt, but I could mock it up I guess).

I am having some issues deciding what to do to it to make it less bland. The scroll is an idea I like, but it feels empty without text and I really have nothing to put in it .. I’m going to dirty the edges up on green background, but still feel the background needs love.

[Simmo]

Might as well post this somewhere! Done in PS with a mouse during a class.. never really done this sort of thing before

[sampson]

Hey - Medestruit you know i'm a fan ;) but are you doing this in vector or photoshop - what resolution you using for it?

[Medestruit]

Hey - Medestruit you know i'm a fan ;) but are you doing this in vector or photoshop - what resolution you using for it?

It's all Photoshop. The octopus itself is in a file that's 5000x5000(16 2/3"x16 2/3") at 300 DPI. The canvas it's on at the moment in that screenshot is 17x11 so I actually have a good bit of resolution. I'm good up to ~24"x24" with this setup.

[build.]

Lots of great stuff lately!

Going to start a new udk scene soon. I'm a terrible concept guy, so just roughing out some things.
Its all planning stages so if you have any ideas, feedback, or whatever, throw it at me.


http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/5266/concept01a.jpg

[retleks]

Medestruit: I really like it, but I don't know about the scroll, throws it off for me for some reason. Have you considered putting some more distance between the values to make it pop... if making it pop is what you want to do?

Here's a bad lighting job. Trying to bring this guy to a finished state, and rigging/skinning are my new vices that I have to overcome... oh and lighting as always a constant weakness.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4113402/Mutant_Low-02.jpg

[attattattack]

I dig your lighting though retleks.

[blitz]

Razorb: love your stuff!

small update on this guy, still need a lot love.
http://www.bischoffart.com/art/soldier/05.jpg

[kaptainkernals]

Medestruit looking awesome as always, hope the next one you do continues with the sea theme, but has a deep sea diving suite / dry suite.

Or perhaps work that into this one, e.g. deep sea diver with hand above the octopus's head as if to grab it? Could transform the illustration to more of a portrait orientation as well, depending on the perspective you give the diver.

Just a possible direction to make it less bland.

[d2king10]

hey man nice model! from a historical standpoint tho, center grip shields rarely had arm straps. also you might want your shield boss to be separate geo going into Zbrush.

@woogity - ya, I noticed that after i started to model. I took ref from two totally different shields. I thought having both might be nice since they look sorta bare without each other. Primarily just a model to get me back into doing work at home.

anyways, heres what I've got from zb so far.

Any critiques are certainly welcome.

direction polypaint
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3591373/nightcrawler/wip/wip_5polypaint.jpg


really dig the model and color scheme for the outfit, but the skin just isn't quite doing it for me. Not sure if you are still WIP on the polypaint, but you may want to try a technique like the technique shown here

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k66iKwJ_iu4

start with some highly saturated colors and paint differnt parts of the skin, like recesses or areas where a alot of blood is present and then go over it with White "noodles" or some kinda of alpha with a color that will desaturate and blend the two color regions. Repeat this step several times and your skin will be alot more convincing and convey alot more visual interest as well.


*****************************


And now for my WIP


doing a UDK environment based off of Raphael's School of Athens painting for a class project that will be ongoing for the rest of the semester.

this is primarily just a whitebox mock up of the space I intend to create. also please excuse my first iteration God rays.

the meshes here are all placeholder.

http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/4224/soa06.jpg

There's bloom lighting present as well, but it doesn't render with the tiledshot command apparently. The last render was intended to focus on it, instead you get to see my very few and scattered god ray meshes and the ridiculous angles at which they enter the room.

[Swizzle]

Still plugging away at this thing. I'm trying to decide whether or not I like the stubble.

http://imgur.com/VAduh.jpg

[Vrav]

I like the stubble, Swizzle. Do you think that maybe the higher bridge part of the nose would be less pink, more like the colour of his cheekbone area? Maybe it's just from looking at it explicitly but the pinkishness of the bridge seems sort of distracting.

[Swizzle]

I've been thinking the same about the nose, so I'll go ahead and change it.

[moof]

retleks> your pic got me to check out the updated marmo. Kind of blown away by the result you got there. Safe to say: nice ;)

The blocky triangle poking on the back needs to go though. Totally kills the shape.

blitz> nice dude. It'd be nice to see it with some actual lighting though. Overall, kinda hidden in darkness.

jackwhat> dude, no square brush yet? get on that, heh. Custom brushes save the day...


http://www.coldconcept.net/rats.jpg


some stuff I'm trying to get to modeling. Life has keep putting dampers in the way though. Sigh, wish I could press pause sometimes.

[Swizzle]

Oh shit. Those are some hot sketches, moof.

Cool concepts moof, I really like the shape of the girl in the center. I look forward to the models.

Epic. Chuck them in some treetop forts. I'm looking forward to seeing more.

[Martin Henriksson]

Felt like trying marmoset so i did a quick and dirty lowpoly/UV of an old sculpt and threw on some base colors:

http://martinh.se/screenshot5.jpg

and one fullbody with different lighting and some added texture work:

http://martinh.se/screenshot7.jpg

But its alot of fun so now im thinking about going back and making a more optimized/better looking lowpoly and doing the full character.

edit: updated the image. and added second shot.

[oobersli]

my normals and ao didn't come out as clean as i'd like on the back side, probably going to rebake them. Started on the front diffuse and some spec.

Realtime screenshots from Marmoset Toolbag. Diffuse and normal maps. No specular map yet. All colours are just flat block-ins so far, still have noooo idea where to go with her colour-wise (this is why I'm not a concept artist)...

As you can see it started out as more of an Adam Hughes version, and then it evolved a bit from there. I think I might have to give her a motorcycle..

EDIT: So far 9,500 triangles, and change. I'll model in folds to help the normal map with the silhouette once I come up with the colour scheme in case I need to do some more changes..

still going on Nightcrawler. Taken from max with Xoliul's shader. textures need a ton of work.

Thanks for the crit Bcoz. I really appreciate it. I actually own both of his books which go into more detail so I really kicked myself when I saw you posted that. I tried incorporating some of that workflow into the skin. What do you think? I painted a back scattering layer of muscle mass and then built up from there. Still though, I definitely need more practice on skin.

started with the texturing, didn't touch her head haircut yet, just coloured it, also the hairplanes need some work in the upper half of the texturestrip, looks too massive right now

didn't touch the rest of her texture also, just some plain colour applied, same with the specular totally not tweaked yet.

prolow thats looking ace! Dont know how far you are in the texturing progress but some more wear and tear on his cloths and some dust on his feets and sandals would improve the piece.

[Neox]

i agree with pzychaos, prtty decent work so far, though it is possible, either his arms appear to be too long or the legs too shrt, right now he can easily grab his knees without the need of bowing down. I guess he is meant to be short, so i guess its his arms that could be a bit shorter. Also maybe some of the facial features could need some break up, but i don't know your refences

Neox: Are you using Mental Ray for those renders? I love how you seem to be thinking each step through and not rushing this, it shows.

[prolow]

@ Pzychaoz, thanks, and agreed i will add some wear tare and dirts
@ Neox, the proportions have been a bit of a fight for me, i wanted to exaggerate them some but not overly so. The chaps and belt ride high on him and ends up masking his anatomy, which i think leads to the feeling of legs feeling too short or his arms too long.

Nice work, you should create separate thread for progress of this model imo :thumbup:

[n88tr]

dansher (http://www.polycount.com/forum/member.php?u=34249)
design is very generic. nothing shouts out "i'm unique." I would think maybe a more curved stock and pistol grip combo would be nice and would break up all the hard lines. Maybe something like the HK USC

nice thundercat moof, the black outline is making him look rather lowpoly, could do with a cooler presentation :)

oh and jfletcher cool koala dude! You could tweak the levels to get rid of the very slight grayish desaturated look to the image.

[Neox]

the koala is cool jfletcher! try the 2 thumbs thingie, might be interesting, really weir i never before heard they have two thumbs on one hand, awesome little animals

moof:damn you should have done something for comicon!

i "colored" everything thats already retopoed and baked and worked on some things today, refined the face, worked on a basic jeans structure (neeads more use and wear and also whiteness around the holes)

didn't touch the hair yet, but worked a bit on the proportional issues i wanted to tackle, moved the hips slighty higher, made the feet a bit bigger and wider, shortened her arms a bit

@DKK: you need to eat the head before the lightning comes, otherwise it would be waste of time!

[Stromberg90]

Neox: Great model, the leather looks realy good in the render, but the skin feels a bit to waxy, but i guess you know that ;)

[n88tr]

When I'm nervous I 3d model so today has been productive! My first semester exam tomorrow actually was useful stress haha.

great work on the jacket neox!

again a little update, this time with other lighting :)

Loving the folds n details!...

but my initial impression was super short lower legs (probably the knee that looks too low) and odd tiny hands don't match the manly head?

Loads of awesome in here puts a smile on my face! :)

[dansher]

that is amazing trappe, now i have to follow that with my crappyness lol

redid the stock, cant decide if i like it. i might try curving the bottom part of it.

still looks a bit square and boring

more update foolishness. time to stop modeling. been doing it for 10 hours now lol
http://cahemdue.net/images/BreakStyleRPG_Wip2.png

[East]

Neox, that leather has good a very nice realistic look to it. You're getting a very realistic look on her, body-wise. Not the "perfect ideal woman" proportions. That's refreshing. I wonder if you could give her a nose ring, or if that maybe ventures too far into Storm's horrid punk past..

Swizzle, I love it :) Getting a bit of Telltale Games mixed with LucasArts of yore vibe from it.

I apologise for the oversized image. I know it is overkill, but I find morbid joy in presenting my work in progress art in this way, since that never happens at work. Anyways, a bit of an update. I still need to cut in more geometry. I've saturated the colours a bit more. Playing around with colours (don't worry, not going to keep the bright orange, but it looked nice for now :P) I dislike the boots right now, the colours look off there, and I think I'm going to have to make her eyes slightly larger.

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/83775/Art/Cat_003.jpg

[BradleyWascher]

Still kind of a wip, missing the handle at the bottom, any and all feedback is welcome. Thanks http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/279/e/1/gunrack_wip1_by_bit_winchester-d308kn4.jpg

[Neox]

@stromberg: yeah it basicly because of 2 factors, first of all because there is only one specular and glossiness value for everything, i didn't create any maps for that just yet and secondly maybe because the scatterdepths are too deep, dunno have to find some reliable ressources about dark skin.

@east: ok you might not notice from that angle, but there are 3 piercing marks in her face, one in her right nostril, one in her lower lip and one on her ear, i decided not to give her those piercings, because of a few reasons, first of all it would suck into polycount and i don't want to waste it for such a small detail, or wouldn't look good on the texture as it wouldn't have enough volume but basicly because i don't like girls with too much metal in their faces, more or less a subjective decision :D

your catwoman is looking great, love the shape of her body, not so much a fan of the mask but thats again subjective, the execution is done very well :)

swizz: man i just love the style you developed

[Swizzle]

East, Neox: Thanks!


Trying out another, similar pose. There are some seams I need to fix and weighting issues with the rig that need tweaking, so I'll get on those soon. I need to think of some good props for this guy. Maybe a brain in a jar?

I also need to get viewport AA working. All these jaggies are really killing the mood. I suspect Max 2011 doesn't much like my video card, so I'm going to see if 2010 will play nicely. If nothing else, I'll just dump it into UDK and do a tileshot. I wish I had the cash to shell out on Marmoset right now. :(
http://imgur.com/F6z27.jpg

[rasmus]

Looking nice, Neox - is it just me or are the arms still a bit long? Could just be the pose. You probably know it, but she's very monotone from top to bottom, some tiny specks of color could really liven it up even if you're clearly going all-out realistic. Like say, a sown on patch of red somewhere, just some tiny splashes of color for contrast.

[PogoP]

The long arms give it character!

[Neox]

yes thats part of the concept, its a material contrast experiment, almost no colors going on besides the skin and her eyes, the clothing is black and white in different shades with varying specular colour, which will come later, but its not going to be too prominent

here is a quick paint over of the details that are missing, didn't paint in the stuff like the straps on her jacket sleeves, one side is going to be opened the other closed further, also i need some white on upperparts of the boot mainly the back, but not sure what to do.

maybe but just maybe i will ad some small colorful labels to the clothes, but i'm not sure about it, i wanted a black girl in black and white clothing, her black skin beeing the only colour going on

http://www.polyphobia.de/nonpublic/jobs/2010/comicon/21a.jpg

[East]

Neox, I like the results you are getting with that experiment. Especially on a character like that you don't want too much visual overload. I fear that's where I'm heading with my Catwoman right now and will probably tone it down a little bit, using your character as inspiration.

I'm not too happy with the cowl on her, either. It looks too much like the one on my Batman character, and provided I have time (set my own deadlines for it) I'll revisit it :)

[CactusFantastico]

@n88tr:
your backgrounds are faaaaaar too distracting and colorful. its hard to concentrate on the model. i recommend strongly sitcking with a simple gray background.

[Ruz]

neox , I think the legs could do with some more form. she seems to have no knees and no
definition of whats underneath here jeans.
Leather jacket is a bit grey. perhaps darken a bit?

east are her lower a legs a bit too curved? Could be just the perspective, but it makes her look a bit bandy

[Sectaurs]

Nice concepts. Koalas have 3 fingers and 2 thumbs on the front paws, perhaps you could do something like that as well :)

I had to look this up.

Not what I expected. Terrifying.

[crazyfool]

started texturing my wolverine, loads to do still, gotta sort out the jeans, the beard, metals, and no spec map yet either :( so yea....loads :D

She looks great, I really love the texture work so far. I can't wait to see how you push the skin texture as well. My only gripe so far is that she is lacking in the behind area. You can give her a bit more "junk in teh trunk" or so they say lol. Also it really has no x-men branding at all. You can maybe add some to the back of the jacket or even give her a chain with the x on it or something. Maybe that could bring in some of the color that this would need without it being contrived.

[Endzeit]

So my first textured model ever, it looks quite awful i know.
Had some problems with photoshops image converter etc.
In 2 weeks there will be a much better picture :D

fckin sick jaco, excellent work

[kaptainkernals]

Wow, amazing work Jaco, and i have to say... those eyes, look amazing.

[felipefrango]

That is so damn sexy Jaco, I love her eyes. If I had to pick on anything I'd say the googles have too much texture for my personal taste, I'd expect them to be very smooth and more reflexive, maybe even bulge outwards a little but then again, that's personal opinion and nothing more.

[BlackulaDZ]

WoW Jaco. just wow.

[Mind]

Yes really good work on your model Jaco , she's very sexy :D

[wasker]

A jorb well done, Jaco!

Jaco, that's fucking amazing.

Daaayum, Jaco! Awesome work man...saving that to my inspiration folder ;)

[Spatz]

PURE LOVE JACO!!! GIMME MOARRR!

[moof]

f*in lovely jaco.

I just have one crit basically, since the whole thing is so nice this just pops out to me.
You have a lot of options for subsurface scattering on the face with marmo, I think you should go into a bit more.

Your face lights right now, a lot like a normal shader look (phongy?). If you could tweak it so it washes out more, and pulls in more flesh colors, it'd be just perfect. You should add more eye shading too if you can, just so they don't pop out quite as hard.

paintover:
http://www.coldconcept.net/subscattercat.jpg

take it or leave it, lovely model either way :D

[DKK]

Ok, so fuck Neox and East, Jaco you're my new hero.

[JFletcher]

Wow, veeeery nice. :)

[Bishop]

Jaco. You're officially my favourite. That's fucking sexy. ;D

...I mean the sculpt...not cat woman...yeahhhh...

[Sgt Pepper]

Fixed, nevermind.

[East]

Jaco, fucking brilliant presentation!

It's on, though. Oh, it's so on! :poly108: (Once I get back from visiting the family next week!)

ah ah east you've got a serious concurent i think!! :D (dont do amalgam, your model is fcking awesome too)

Still going. Icky rig job.

[Neox]

jaco, she is my absolutely favorite, hope you score high, maybe even highest you deserve it. you did something which is rare, a sexy character whos not oversexed - also a rarity in the games field. very very impressive, just love that piece. only thing i think you could definitely improve to me is the shadow of her hairs, i guess they will stay somewhat rigid so posisbly you could bake some shadows from them on the skin

[Rumkugel]

Superb Jaco!

I´d love to see her with green eyes tho :)

[JohnnyRaptor]

awesomesauce jaco! gimme her phone #!

that belt buckle'esque alpha could use some thickness lovin tho!

[fearian]

Oh my god this page is full of amazing characters. If I was a a character artist I'd be crying in a ball right now.

Banner for Jaco! Bannerrrr!


E: Millah, you could do with some less harsh lighting, his skin and pants look nearly chrome in places :P

EE:this would end up on a new page, wouldnt it. :(

[Jaco]

Wow, thanks for the comments everyone!

felipefrango: Thanks man, agreed about the goggles, I have some noise on the spec I need to get rid off.

moof: Thanks for the paintover, I'm actually using the skin shader, but the scattering isn't set very strong. I'll be sure to take another look at that. Good point about the eye shading too, thanks!

neox: Thanks for the words man. I'll definitely add some shadows on the skin, the hair is looking a bit harsh, some shadows should help blend it.

Rumkugel: I've been thinking about green eyes too, will give it a try.

JohnnyRaptor: Hehe thanks, it's actually modeled, will thicken it up a bit.

Short Neck?

Or Long neck? I'm trying to get close to the reference I'm using. I want it to give the original justice.

Okay, Last update before nappy-time. It's relatively the same as the above picture (long neck) but more circulish cause it kinda looks better compared to the original reference I'm using.

did a bit more work on my sniper rifle, went back to the first stock i had and just extended it a bit because all the other styles and stuff i tried really didn't look right

still need to lengthen the barrel and add the bipod, and also work out how the scope mounts on

i might make the mag a bit smaller in hight and longer in length so it looks more like the barrett 50 cal sniper rifle mag(http://www.google.com.au/imgres?imgurl=http://c2.api.ning.com/files/p0jR0dBjhBn8SPcC0-tSljCabPUtl7N3ObdyKlyqjgW*zm11LiOboRYPdBJ4MHfhSlbD jGL4x-Aa3BEaMCQ4nJuif4g6bJPk/BarrettM107.jpg&imgrefurl=http://picsdigger.com/domain/crymod.com/&h=768&w=1024&sz=97&tbnid=EFUHiufHNbLEqM:&tbnh=113&tbnw=150&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dbarrett%2B50%2Bcal%2Bsniper%2Brifle&zoom=1&q=barrett+50+cal+sniper+rifle&hl=en&usg=__5o1SDxG1wLnAABvJ7azt8_LMTHw=&sa=X&ei=QeewTN2zIY75cYOvsckN&ved=0CB8Q9QEwAg)

turned out pretty well for my first try at baking normals + im now in love with marmoset :P next mission: make something decent.

I don't know who that is, but sorry. Another hint? find it on CGHub. Almost everyone should know this guy -_-

It's OBVIOUSLY the Question!

really nice composition of black on black...
i cant see nothing!

[LEViATHAN]

i cant see nothing!

Then get a new monitor.

[lampekap]

i dont have problems with it, so mayby tune ur monitor settings.
although i wuold prefer if it was presented on a bit lighter colour.

[Raider]

reads fine to me, should check your blacks on the monitor :D

Very cool monster eric.

Beretta M9 high poly, slightly inaccurate in places admittedly :(

Awesome highpoly :)

Mike Yevin (http://www.polycount.com/forum/member.php?u=28289): I think it looks nice man. Just try push and pull the big forms around if youre not satisfied till you find something you like hehe. I like it though :)

And thanks guys, glad you like my monsters hehe :) I will make a timelapse of how I make those creatures from planes as soon as I get the time. I use zb 4.0.

I'd love some criticism, it feels like I've been making faces the same way for years now.

Refine your lines. Skin wrinkles and fold tend to have a very fine edges you can perceive. Really carving those little details in make a world of difference. Otherwise your face looks a little melted, wet, and clay like.

Ohh, sorry, no dice. Rorschach was a good guess. Maybe I'll do a sculpt of him later.

If I can, I'll upload something tonight once I get most of the collar done on the suit.

Zwebbie:

You have a good base, so now all you have to do is refine the forms and add more fine wrinkles.

I did a paintover to show yo where you could go with it:

[Vitor]

Indeed Zwebbie, we have the bad habit of stop working on a model right before it starts to get interesting. You have a nice base there, with some interesting forms. Now you just need to keep on it ;)

I have a little nitpick about this; pulling out anatomical details isn't necessarily the correct action. Depending on age, body fat, things of that sort, you could plausibly go with Zwebbie's head. I think the final processes would be fine details paticular to your intent. I submit this (http://www.zbrushcentral.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=190673) as an example of realistic, without exaggerated forms [more] (http://www.zbrushcentral.com/showthread.php?t=087012).

[Neox]

the paintover really helps, do that and it'll be much better :)


another update with again not enough done but its 2 am i have to wake up at 8... i doubt i'll finish :D

http://www.polyphobia.de/nonpublic/jobs/2010/comicon/23.jpg

added most of the missing details, just 2 straps on her jacket missing, further optimized the mesh, worked on the texture and shading more, next to do - build a base for her, create some specular and glossiness maps (none just yet), think about some poses, i really doubt i can do that tomorrow, but well who cares ^^

[moof]

[Mike Yevin]

DESPERATELY need some fresh eyes on this (as well as on him), I think I've been looking at it too long today. Keep in mind the ears are suuuper rough still, just put some basic forms in there for the most part, and everything below the jaw hasn't been touched for a while. Any major errors you can see? Suggestions for the eyes?

Spider webs are a pain in the ass to draw on such a small scale(even though the web itself is probably 8 inches wide by 3 or 4 inches tall).


Neox: I hate you and your over-abundance of artistic talent >.<

[andersh]

I am such a huge fan of this hand painted style. Any tips on this or even a reference where you got any tips from?

Did a little post mortem thread over yonder. (http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=77434)

ha thanks missed turing on AO there, was focussed so much on finding a working reflection map that i totally ignored that, would love to use some hemispheric masking like i'd do it in realtime but i dunno how to do that with MR

[ENODMI]

got a little work done on this today

[Rens]

Filming some downhill parts, vacation plans changed, won't be going to the pyrenees this time around, wich pretty much changes everything.

I can however film a nice downhill ride here on tarmac.
did 66kmph, 41 mph on parts for this video. Breaks were quite smelly afterwards.

Little mistake here,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKRYjVRyCvs

I made a few mistakes that lead to me not being able to take the turn well.
so with my city racing style, i thought fuck it, ill just seek an alternative road :D
I might have hit the car with all the gravel infront if i did push the turn,
anyway, good times.

[SoylentRobot]

Hey folks, thought I'd join when I started making this hat for tf2.
It's not my first work in 3dsmax, but I figure I could do with some tips from the experts :)

That's awesome ENODMI! The sewing on some of the buttons looks a bit wide maybe.

[- Livewire -]

Where would you guys suggest I start learning how to model organic things?

Also, I'm new and made a post about 2 days ago in this thread, but by the time my posts were accepted this thread was already 2 pages onwards, so I'll just post the link instead of taking up the room again, been modelling for about a month now.

kite212: The roof could use some more work. Right now it looks too "flat". See this excellent tutorial on roof and building creation, very useful stuff:

i'm no expert on how brick pillars are built in real life, but I'd think they're concrete/filler in the middle and brick on the exterior. So having it worn down and destroyed with bricks encased in concrete looks a bit odd.

[Zwebbie]

Moof, Swizzle, Vitor, I very much appreciate the fresh eyes! I'll update soon, maybe start a thread.

Stuff

What shader/renderer are you using?

[TelekineticFrog]

Random doodle from Monday morning while drinking my cranberry juice.
http://telekineticfrog.com/junks/redtreeIsle.jpg

[Neox]

What shader/renderer are you using?

MR with "fast sss skin+" for the skin parts and right now 3 arch+design materials for the rest, only 2 specular and glossiness values tweaked just yet, the leather and the pants, rest will follow and the values be baked onto one spec sheet so i have 2 shaders on the model in the end.

and a quick shot on the pedestal, will add her name in the foundation

http://www.polyphobia.de/nonpublic/jobs/2010/comicon/base.jpg

TelekineticFrog (http://www.polycount.com/forum/member.php?u=14116): lovely!

[felipefrango]

Nice pedestal Neox. Would you be kind enough to tell us about how you made it? I know it's "just a pedestal" but it's really well made and I wouldn't know how an efficient way to lay those bricks in such a pattern if I was to make it myself.

[- Livewire -]

The bricks look fantastic.

[Muzz]

ENODMI

Just a note about a jacket like that, the way you have it right now would impede a persons walk it is too tight to allow a normal walk. So either you need to make it looser, or add in slits to the side of the jacket to ease the movement.

Also where the hell does that jacket undo for her to take it on and off?

Looking good otherwise man.

[Neox]

maybe its more like a dress? but its definitely very tight and some more flecible parts might be nice, but i really like the outfit

:edit: i can make a quick tutorial for the bricks, but really its nothing special

[JohnnyRaptor]

maybe its stretchy? :)

[Sandro]

Sweet stuff Frog. Lovely palette. Any chance of seeing more cranberry juice stuff? Maybe a blog or something?

[kaptainkernals]

TelekineticFrog, that must've taken ages to paint, was each blade of grass done indivually?

[BeatKitano]

It looks very nice tiled, the repetition is almost not noticeable, very impressive work.

looks interesting, how you did this?

[TelekineticFrog]

Neox / Sandro / BeatKitano - Thanks.

kaptainkernals - Yes every blade was painted unique. It took several hours over a few days. Mainly time spent destroying repetition or spots that would appear when tiling over large surface areas.

roB0T - Honestly I don't know how to answer that because I just sat down and started painting until it was done. I don't really have a work process that I follow in like steps I suppose. On tiles like that a good portion of the time is spent having it applied to geometry and looking at it from different views / rotating and trying your best to make sure it doesn't apparently repeat and have hot spots in value that show up.

[Firebert]

Yes, very, very nice TelekineticFrog!
This has a very nice feel of depth. Just orbiting over a tiled plane, it pops out very well! Excellent pro work man.

[kaptainkernals]

TelekineticFrog, you have admirable patience, really is amazing work.

[achillesian]

the seams have alot of grass like laying down, like they were stepped on, and slightly lighter, on the mainly the horizontal seam.
