What Are You Working On? 2010 Edition!

[Justin Meisse]

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

huh???

I tested it out, this grass tiles very nicely, great work!

[shotgun]

Frog that is - i N s A n E -

[Millah]

Time is out. Learned so much on this that I'll be applying going forward (aka so much I want to improve on but don't have time.)

Thanks to all for encouragement and crits.

Cool character Millah, congrats on finishing.

awesome design nrek

[hawken]

I'll try and post more doodles regularly...most of the time I make them and save em off and nobody sees them. For now here's a hand painted grass texture tile.
http://www.telekineticfrog.com/junks/grassTile01.jpg

titled with another channel for colour variations in blotches this is just about perfect.

[achillesian]

yeah its very very good, loaded it into unity against their default grass tex, tiles as good or better, the only thing that throws my eye off i guess is the unequal use of black, the areas i've highlighted dont have much black where the other parts do. Maybe just my preference

nrek: super nice sculpt man!

[slave_one]

Neox: sweet base (storm not so bad either! :P )
nrek: that looks really promising!

Thats the most 80's metal character i have seen in a long while Wolfreim! its the hair...

[Neox]

ok as gameartisans is down, here is my proof i couldn't finish it in time....
well i have some hours left but i've been almost falling asleep at work twice today so... 2 hours more sleep wil definitely help, here are so far the concept sheet:

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

and the constructions shot:

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

have her rigged and roughly skinned, enough for some posing with later finetuning, have the shaders set up and the lighting prepared for beauty and presentation, also have one of the 2 poses i'm going to make blocked out, but needs more dynamic and oh well i need to pose the hair, dreads, keyband and the cordthingies for her hood

wil have to finish tomorrow as i'm not in town on friday and the weekend, finally some time for partey, peppi and katz here i come!

[TelekineticFrog]

Beautiful model Neox. Definitely a nice re-imagining of Storm.

[Bishop]

Neox, it's still amazing :D Beautiful work on Storm.

nrek, if you're doing Ivy, you gotta bring out the sexiness man! FIND YOUR INNER PERVERT! I mean uhh, work harder. It's still very unique and great. Yeah... ;)

working out 7 days a week (aka everyday) isn't the best of ideas.

So yeah theres my stuff, lemme know whatcha think

[tanka]

Maybe it's the lighting, but that model is lacking in the texture department. It feels like it should be popping alot more. It's looking very flat and uninspiring at the moment.

The high poly looks awesome from what I can see, but it's hard to tell because your images are quite small.

[ENODMI]

NEOX:) sheesh, Storm turned out disgustingly good, can't wait for the final pose.

n88tr - I get exhausted just looking at that. Turns out Ive been exercising too; I just spent the last five minutes searching for something to open a beer with, and Im tired.

Love it, you seem to be able to so easily create an awesome mood with so little that I'm always surprised.

@n88tr (http://www.polycount.com/forum/member.php?u=25527): As Kewop mentioned, working out 7 days a week really isn't helpful at all. Your body doesn't build muscle during exercise, but does so post-workout. Have a minimum of a day between work out days for growth and recovery. And yeah, make sure your caloric intake isn't too low:P

Hey guys,

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to introduce myself. I recently moved to Austin TX in hopes of putting my 3D modeling skills to use in the game industry.

A lot of people have recommended this site as a good place to start.

So "Hi"

@tottaire: That's looking pretty damn cool, man. I can't find any critique at the moment but I would love to see views from the back as well. Keep up the good work!
Edit: Ok, I found some: The clothing piece between her legs has a whole lot of polygons. I think you can get away with 1/3 of what you have right now.
Here is a character I'm working on. It's a young sloth wizard sort of thing. Still WIP But critique is welcome;

I made a quick walk-cycle for him too just to fix the rig.

Nice Goraaz! Why didn't u use all these colors b4? :)
Add some of the tribal designs on his main garment & hat. Since it's bigger and more central, make them so as well. Good stuff!

[Der Hollander]

@Neox, I've really enjoyed looking at your progress on Storm. It's a way cool rendition, and that hair turned out fantastic. The amount of detail you put into everything is freakin' wild. Awesome job.

My paintings are several magnitudes of order below the quality of Jackwhat's, but you don't get better by not practicing. I've been re-working an old environment concept, and I could use some general crits to help me move forward with this.

Oh my god, Neox. Once again, you manage to blow my mind.

[Swizzle]

Pretty freakin' rad, Neox. I especially like that she can have her hood up and down and also put her hands in her pockets. Excellent details all around.

[Frump]

Congrats on finishing, Neox. I would say "great result" but it's been pretty awesome the whole way. Was fun to watch it develop. Looks great! :)

Also, why did no one post a GD thread about the ArenaNet thing? I would have definitely tried to do that. Finding out about it after it's over sucks...

[Klumpmeister]

man Storm looks very modern and edgy! Great job!

[Raider]

tott is there a reason her lointcloth type geddup is so high poly? u could optimise that like 90% more down to almost nothing with the same result

[Dean]

Amazing job Neox, seeing the end result after all that hard work you put into it makes it feels even more awesome:)

[Emeriastone]

Just some sculptris practice, base work. I'll probably do something useful with it later in another software.

@ Neox, incredible. Just really excellent, I hope I can create something even half the caliber of work you've done.

Just a question about the hairs on the last image, are they painted or is this your original hair planes that you modify ?

Looking solid, ghost-d. I instantly recognized who it was. Something about the mouth area is throwing me off though, not sure what tit is.

Lildragon, that turned out sick dewD!

[teaandcigarettes]

ghost-d: Actually he looks a little bit more like Nick Cave on a lazy day :P

I don't remember him having such pronounced nasolabial folds - his face is a bit more chubby in the film.

On the other hand, if you're not going for a literal interpretation then feel free to ignore all of the above haha.

Cool work :)

Finally finished, I opened 3DS for the first time about a month ago so I can't UV/Texture yet, learning as I go along.

Badass Vulture there Livewire. I love seeing well done BattleMechs. Were you using the high polys from the "Mechwarrior: Living Legends" Crytek Mod? It's got that kind of feel to it. I love the way you handled the form, especially the hip actuator. Well done.

[Ruz]

hah great likeness ghost-d

[Firebert]

Neox: You owe me a new pair of pants. Valias owes me a beer for the bouncing smilies.... so I'm starting to keep serious tabs on this noise. If I swung in another direction though, I would seriously want to have oiled man sex with you. That version of Storm is just pure awesome man. I'm rooting for ya!!!!!!!!!

- Livewire -: that's nice dude! i would aim for a more complex hard surface design for your next project. that design is very boxy like (as a result of the time it was made of course), so it doesn't really show off what you could seriously do in a hardcore way... still a really strong piece, but not a ton of really huge complex shapes if you catch my drift.



something i'ma workin' on before i revisit my SigSauer.... ears are high-ish.... wip in a huge way :P

[Saman]

That's looking really nice, lildragn. It's actually spot-on!
@shotgun: Thanks, man. I don't really know about the colors. I just wanted to do a simple muscle painting exercise on the orc and didn't really plan ahead as much as I should have. Mistake learned now anyway... I added the tribal signs to his cap and clothes too. I'll post a thread with the updated version when I have time.
@catstyle: Thanks!
@achmedthesnake: Heheh... It took me a short while before I got it... Good one though!

[Ruz]

Firebert - is that based on the default zbrush skull I tired the same thing myself and am not entirely sure if the proportions are entirely accurate

[Firebert]

Ruz: nah... that's a custom base i made but i can see the similarities... the crease lines, the large eyes.... fuck... this thing sucks arsehole!

[Ruz]

Actually firebert it was because it looked a bit like a model i made in the jawline area
so i figured you had used that particular skull.
not a criticism just curious
http://www.mikerusby.com/images/headclinty.jpg
its tough though, heads are stinking hard to get right.

[Firebert]

Ruz: ahhhhh! i see! my bad... a bit dazed and exhausted from the week... the skull... not the stock default head... my bad! totally see what you are saying though. i sculpted the jawline in completely wrong (amongst other things) but opened the mouth initially for setup for later baking and lip sculpting, so the jaw should be angled upwards more towards the back.... my shit still sux though... the eyes really make it look goofy.... crap for crap for crap. :P

[Ruz]

yeah was referring to the skull not the generic base meshy thing

anyway just keep at it Firebert its half way there now.
I would drop the ears down a bit though.
For the hair and tash, you should give the slash 2 brush a go. works ok

re the eyes I normally just use plain spheres as a guide. The one above has the eyes as part of the base mesh though

[WarrenM]

I think this is my first post here ... or maybe second. At any rate, I've read so many great threads here and gained so much mileage from reading the wiki that I figured I should show something I did recently.

"World of Level Design" is holding another one of it's challenges and this time around it was a haunted house (http://worldofleveldesign.com/categories/level_design_challenges/halloween-level-design-game-enviroment-challenge-2010.php). I created an entry for it that I would say is 98% complete (give or take).

This scene is the result of reading a lot of stuff here and, of course, nagging my co-workers whenever I couldn't figure something out or had bad work flow or what-have-you. I did all the meshes myself and assembled the textures as well - I'm a level designer/scripter at work so this is new territory for me.

Anyway, here's what I did (in UDK):

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/161473/HH_Preview5.png

And the wireframe for those who are interested:

How would you guys suggest I learn how to texture, ZBrush or the traditional way?

[TheDarkKnight]

Started work on a dumpster.
My first low-poly hard-surface model that I plan to texture and put in a scene (not counting accesoires for characters).

This model started out as uv-practice but having fun with it, so want to finish it.

Only did the main green pat at the moment (still very much wip) and no spec map yet.

Currently standing at 1464 triangles.

Jaco> yeah baby. 1196 tris though huh? ;)

[3DVlad]

Wow cool ship NBLM, looks like fatal inertia but better =) the cuts around the rear turbine seem to be a little too strong though, other then that love it =)

Needs more sculpting, more eyes, more hairs (is this the right approach?), more everything...
anyone recogize him?

something ive been working on in class

[Mike Yevin]

MephistonX: I would recommend checking out some anatomy reference, I see a lot of obvious mistakes especially on the arms and lower abdomen (and im not even an expert on human anatomy). Are you using reference?

[conte]

Jaco> yeah baby. 1196 tris though huh? ;)
yes, she's lying!
dirty girl :D

[shotgun]

Yes, she needs a spanking. Why we haven't seen an ass shot yet eludes me.

[prolow]

MephistonX: nice!, though his abs seem a little blocky for some reason

i could use some crits as well,
still trying to get a better understanding of anatomy, i will de-hulk her once i'm happy with the overall proportions and muscle forms.

[Mezz]

Woah woah woah... her?
You need to look a lot more closely at some female reference for that character prolow :P Right now, there is nothing saying 'female' about what you have going. I'd suggest looking up female body builders as reference, if you're going the bulkier route. (They can be scary, but there's good reference out there for that :P)

[kYo]

thanks for the nightmares.. why would anyone want to sculpt a female body builder :(

[hawken]

That cat woman is incredible! surely 11196 tris though?

[Growgor]

Hey guys.

Just wanted to show you guys my Comicon 2010 entry.
As you can see, I choose the Rhino, from Marvels Spiderman, since it's one of my very favorite villains.
The hole progress was kinda new to me, since it is my first character done in mudbux. I faced alot of problems along the way, but with the support from alot of people, I managed ti finish in time. Thank's to you guys.

So here's my final result. Feel free to throw in a comment or two.
Critique is also very welcome http://forums.cgsociety.org/images/smilies/smile.gif

Holy shit Jaco, you make art so good it should be illegal. On the tri count though, is that a typo or is it really just 1196 tris? :P

edit: Duh, didn't notice there were two pages full of posts after Jaco's where people noticed this multiple times.

@ mike - yer i used the actual sculpture as reference, could you be more specific with the mistakes ? cheers

@ prolow - yer i was trying to make them look like the sculpture - there pronounced but not blocky so i didnt achieve it very well but i shall improve that for next time

yours is looking sweet but i think its legs are too masculine, slim them up and smooth out some of the musculature

hey blitz... nice ninja turtle!

[n88tr]

wolverine has some strange looking muscles or striations on his delts there. his facial hair looks quite a bit over-sharpened but maybe that's just me

[fearian]

His forarms look pretty odd to me, everything else looks awesome as hell! I love the detail like his scars!

[BCos]

His forarms look pretty odd to me, everything else looks awesome as hell! I love the detail like his scars!

I second this. The profile is alittle too linear here, maybe round it out and give it a bit more protrusion. Left arm isn't as noticeable as the right, and it might just be the angle of the render, but yeah, could use a tiny bit more Umph in the profile. Looks great though. Nice job crazyfool.

http://img837.imageshack.us/img837/7865/loganbeautyfinalnewres2.jpg

[Sean VanGorder]

Ravenslayer - It looks sweet so far. I think the colors may be a little too saturated, but that might just be personal taste. Also, I think you could change up the spec between the paint and rust a little bit to differentiate them from each other a bit more.

Using this (http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r383/da-darkmatter/containment-swingarm_web.jpg) concept as a guide at the moment, i feel the proportions are somewhat off, will sleep on it then come back with a fresh pair of eyes tomorrow :)

Thats really nice looking, it it possible to get a look at your shader network?

[Teemu]

Blaize thats a great model and texture.
I love the subtle softness and sss feel you got in the texture. Especially in the weapon arm.
Do you bake the lighting onto your textures or are they all hand painted?

You Comicon guys are all sick. All of those models are very impressive.

@Blazier, i like it alot, but it seems like the edges to the plates could be a little bolder/thicker, whatever. Right now it seems a bit flat/smooth. (segments of body and arms[red] especially.)

[disanski]

woow gauss she is pretty man :) Fantastic work on that face and it reads as Brazilian strait away :) She reminds me of someone but i cant think of the name :). If I may ask what would you ( or anybody else here ) consider key features of a Brazilian female face? What I can see is a little stronger jaw, dark hair and eyes, what else is in there- sometimes I can't really say just by looking at it :) Other thing I noticed with most Brazilian girls is that thee are not exactly cute, but have some male lines in their faces that are blended very well and give them that extra touch that tells - dont mess with me :) o r may be this is just in my head :)

I'm always speechless on your texturing skills, the way you paint material is very impressive, they really look lively as if there was multiple map involved, but it's only diffuse work Oo

[Ged]

hey ironbear nice progress, Ive noticed a that youve posed him really stiffly in the concept sculpt, try to get a more natural pose and really nail the anatomy some more like just for an example the neck is pretty much vertical where most peoples necks point slightly forward over thier chest and curve up to the head. rock on :)

thanks everybody, thread keeps inspiring to do better work.

neox: thanks man i spent the lion's share on that and i think it paid off. also i haven't said it yet but storm came out fantastic, lots of beautiful, subtle work on that piece.

disanski: thanks, i believe she reads as properly Brazilian because i worked from a reference image that i had saved out from i'm not sure how long, which i had saved as "brazilian.jpg"--whether or not she is actually Brazilian i couldn't properly say. but you're right, there are certain key elements--complexion, certain facial construction that is NOT aligned to most western media conceptions of model-beauty (thank goodness for that). i would say the lips/vault of the mouth and jaw line are important. while trying to get the likeness on the head, i noticed she actually has a fairly tall chin.

BeatKitano: yeah I was getting that vibe too--also it'd just be a shame to cover up all the work I did on her face :)

anyway thanks for the commments guys and keep up the good work, too many good pieces to easily single out

edit: except moof i am also suuuuper digging the bionics treatment on that guy, looks great

Blaizer thats a great model and texture.
I love the subtle softness and sss feel you got in the texture. Especially in the weapon arm.
Do you bake the lighting onto your textures or are they all hand painted?

Thanks man. I baked a "helper map" with the lighting, and the rest was paint work. The model uses a hi-res model as source for the lighting, is the same process as with a model for normal maps, but with a different bake and texture work.

Med, I really like that design, but I think the finer line work in the web is really hurting the readability. It's just coming across as a big blob and I think it could work much better with fewer, bolder lines. The same with the finer stuff on the A and a bit of the shading on the wheat.

Great work on the face Gauss! It's really nice to see your drawings looking much less static in their poses. I know I haven't been around much on PC for a couple of years, but you've definitely improved in that time :D

My only issue, if you are keeping with the Brazilian look, is that you need to give that girl a bigger, rounder bubble booty... hers is looking far too small and flat :( It's coming across as a sexy Brazilian woman's head stuck on a "Western media conceptions of model-beauty"'s body ;)

the shape of the teapot isn't very legible with the big bulge on his belly and under the spout. Also the rainbow is thin and splashy at one end and thick and goopy at the other?

-DK >^..^<

Yeah I hear that but the ref was way skinnier than even I present here. Probably is a model, with all the attendant boyish thinness, as the photo looks like it was taken in NYC. Anyway, I thickened her up some but as well as being Brazilian she's also meant to actually be a fighter, not a pinup. I think bubble-butting her would have been against what I was trying to go for. I would have built up her musculature more but frankly my anatomy is still lacking, I can't go too far from a ref without the picture taking a hit as a whole.
Anyway thanks for the comments, I need to get working on another piece :)

Yeah, the web will be diffused some when I get back to it. There will be a halftone effect added to the center of the web(the dense part) to break it up.

As far as the letter, you're not getting a real view of it, since you're seeing a screen cap at 25%. At print scale the items aren't so crammed up like that, so a bit misleading there. But you are right about the web.

Dustin, nice. I'm a massive Waits fan :D

I think you're pushing his mouth out a little too much, though. He looks kinda like Homer Simpson :P You can see in that smoking ref pic (centre left) that his mouth is still relatively flat across his face.

His jawline could use a little more curve in it. There's a sort of arch formed by the jowls as they fall below.

And his cheeks should be a little more hollow than they are on your sculpt at the moment.

Bring his forehead in a little - the cheekbones and forehead shouldn't be that wide compared to the rest of his face.

Prolow: her boobies look a bit flat from the side, they might be a little low too - generally there's about a head's length of distance from the chin to the nipples (ok, female nipples are a bit lower), but I also think her head is a bit small, that could be all there was to it. The body is getting really nice otherwise.
And even correct her posture, she is leaning a bit forward.

Ged> Not bad. I do think though for a guy with such a huge upper body, that his legs should be a lot bigger. Either way though, I think the main problem is that his legs are kinda a little too far apart. It's like he's doing a standing squat, it's a little weird.


thanks for the crit! I knew something was odd but couldnt figure out what exactly, will see what I can do later.

Nice work Razorb!

Nice work CataFa, and nice presentation. I like the color variation you put into the polypaint.

Yeah, I was gonna ask the same thing. If so, whole body please :) I love me some Tenchu (well, the first 3 at least).

Making a modular robot base thing. I kinda get the feeling the body base has problems though.

Doodling last nite..

[Mezz]

Definitely a lot better now!! Overall the body is looking great.
Only crits are the boobs are a little flat, like krisCrash said. They look good from the front though, but I'd also soften the line from them to the armpit, it's a bit too pronounced now.
I also think the deltoid and upper back could use a bit more softening, they're still a bit man-ish. The neck could probably be a bit thinner and softer, but its alright, up to you.
Last thing is the face. Dunno how much work you've done on it, but it could definitely be a lot more feminine. She almost reads as an older man right now. Partly I think that's from the haircut that looks like a receeding hairline with a slight come-over :P I also think the eye brow and jawline need to be reshaped and softened into a more feminine look. I think the forehead may also be a bit too pronounced.

Other than those points, looking really great!
