First attempt at hard surface modeling.

Hey, I modeled one of those once!

[Orb]

first integration test for the sits, ill probably need some kind of fixations to make a better transition with the tiles, add some missing rivets and tweak that strong spec a bit.

C&C welcome

[BradMyers82]

JasonLavoie: Looks awesome as is. Finish it up man!

Orb: great work as always. I'm really digging how this is coming along.

[JasonLavoie]

Orb... so digging the colours man, beautiful work so far :)

Brad - Haha... nah man, I haven't even textured it, imma bring some love to it :)

Kevin - Thank you so much for the crit, huge fan of your work. I was wondering if you knew a "quick" and non destructive way of adding more sides to the base? I know exactly what you mean, and I have such a BAD tendency to go lower poly... which is weird because I try to make sure my silhouettes read nicely.

[MikeF]

orb, Friggin awesome, great lighting and colours. Is that UDK?

[EarthQuake]

That's Klesk right?

[Spacey]

AimBiZ: Awesome.

The only thing I have to say is that you've got some wasted texture space. You probably could have disconnected the dotted neck part and moved it to the right allowing you to align the head UV's with the body. That nice patch of empty space would let you scale the entire texture to the left until it filled up the whole space giving you moar pixels! Still, great job.

[MikeF]

looks great hawken, very clean and easy to read tile set

[Japhir]

working on a sortof logo design for my rowing crew ;). It says Dino's (short for dinosaurs), unextinguishable (in dutch it's a reference to never finished rowing).
I could definitely use some crits on this! don't really like the colors yet.

That nice patch of empty space would let you scale the entire texture to the left until it filled up the whole space giving you moar pixels! Still, great job.

Thanks and the reason behind the wasted space is since I romeved the huge old wings it had and made new ones, which didn't need as much uv-space so I put them and the weapons on a new map and cropped the old one, and by that time The bodytexture was almost finished.
So basically a designflaw from my part. Will plan better next time. :)

[OrganizedChaos]

Very very nice AimBiZ and Orb!

Looking good so far, only thing I would say is the oars kind of seem to be sticking out of his head... or are just too distracting not sure. Maybe making the dino more saturated would help?

[Racer445]

bored... lots of ugliness in the details but should bake down to a plane ok lol

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1725586/pctile.jpg

[Andreas]

Haha that's awesome Racer! I suggest pushing the mouth and eye stones further in though.

[AimBiZ]

Agreed with Blenderhead. :)

[Racer445]

Updated. :)

[ironbearxl]

[HP]: Yep, it's based on Klesk.

Cool Racer445!

[Massbot]

Orb and Hawken, really cool! Nice style Slum :)
Added a few more details, and fixed up a few things. Going to start baking down onto the base soon! Looking forward to doing some textures. Think i'll start a thread once i've done a bit more.

Slum: you need to get that on a shirt asap so I can buy it!!

[Slum]

haha thanks guys. I'm actually making a storybook for my kids. it's about a seagull who travels across the ocean in search of a lost trinket - and he meets a ton of fun sea creatures and such.

Updated. :)

Excellent! :D

Cody: That looks Great Man, Nice Job!

[fly_soup]

http://i48.tinypic.com/2vxfyc2.jpg
Doing the texture for this right now. I'm really hoping its current ugliness is just from the texture being in its ugly phase rather than the model itself being fundamentally screwed up. I'll see how it goes.

[Farfarer]

I think the ugliness is due to the model, sadly. She's got a very strongly masculine jawline and a severe looking face. The head proportions look odd, too (thinner at the top than the bottom, too narrow at the back and ears that stick out no wider than her cheekbones/jaw).

[Firebert]

decided to take part in the CGHub: Bust a Move 3D Jam (http://cghub.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=81)
doing Don Cheadle as War Machine
just started the base... gotta fix that nasty ass pole at the neck and form that area out better... could've sculpted this, but zbrush has spoiled me too much for heads, so i wanted to refresh on good old fashioned poly modeling

[Glode]

http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/9138/chaosscene2lowres.jpg

after the feedback on my last scene, I decided to go back to another Uni project and redo the lighting. (some props are place holders. Pillars need new UVs and rebaking)

[sogun]

What's wrong with this head? Feedback would be greatly appreciated.
I was told to fix the outline, eyes should be more inside. What do you see?

http://hardwired.hu/upload/3DF2/head.jpg

Figure i'l post this here too to get some more feedback since not everyone checks the low poly thread

MikeF: Really nice texture on that gun. I feel it could benefit from some more gradient lighting on it, but still very clean.

Anyway I did a texture for the toof, rendered in the polycount engine of choice of course:

Very nice Slum! Reminds me of the seagulls from Finding Nemo.

Been playing around with re-lighting an old UE3 scene in UDK:

http://i45.tinypic.com/25tf4g3.jpg

[Master_v12]

Xvampire! Sketch looks ace.

Szark, looks great, I almost want to see that background haze transfer to the top of the scene also. Right now it looks like dust flying by which is cool, but I guess my mind wants to see it as atmospheric perspective

Doesn't get more original than an alley scene!!!!

well, the low poly thread is at the top of this forum.
If you're looking for c&c, why not start a dedicated thread? WAYWO isn't really conducive to c&c

[acapulco]

Awesome Szark, loved it when it was done first, love it even more now! Can just add this:
Frederic Edwin Church - El Khasne, Petra (http://www.artrenewal.org/artwork/673/673/28426/el_khasne,_petra-large.jpg)

Take a look, worth it. Picture property of artrenewal.org.

[Sandro]

Awesome Szark. Blurry texture in the foreground is a bit distracting though, maybe add some props or dof?

Sogun, head looks pretty cool, but it's a bit blobby. Maybe add some sharp areas where bone sits close to skin and define skull planes more.

[xvampire]

Orb and Hawken, really cool! Nice style Slum :)

MoP: AWESOME work! Love it!

Master_v12: Thanks! I've added a bit more fog to the top half of the image. Not too much though, as I felt it looked washed out.

acapulco: Thanks, mate! I appreciate the link. Great painting.

Sandro: Unfortunately I don't feel motivated enough to make new props for this scene, so I've just added some DOF to the foreground.

Yeah I'm going to play with the material set up, right now it doesn't have anything going on except a diffuse map, but I don't want it to be overly smooth an glossy looking It still has to look rusty, So I'll keep it as minimal as possible.

Very nice, MoP!

Here is a lowpoly study of Gruetzners Falstaff.
http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:Eduard_von_Gr%C3%BCtzner_Fal staff.jpg&filetimestamp=20060315164902
Not animateable, just an empty hull right now. Perhaps I'll do a complete character or highpoly version if I find the time.
1225 tris and a 1024x1024 diffuse. I used the picture as a base for the texture.

stunning!

that looks awesome Noren! also great attention to detail

[Noren]

Wow, that was fast! Thx guys!
Rooster, you are referring to the top left view?
That was just a compromise between showing the mesh and another view.
I think the original painting is simply awesome and has tons of character.
It would have been really hard to ruin that completely. ;)

[Sandro]

Wow awesome Noren. Went straight into my inspirations folder

[Mladen Jovicic]

hot damn noren, awesome stuff:)

[rooster]

noren: I should be clearer :) I mean, why split the head uvs in two? normally you want to make the main focus of the model easy to edit

[gavku]

Noren that's ace....

@rooster: I did that in order to minimize distortion on the quite big nose especially. And probably because I'm used to it. (Mostly with mirrored textures, though.) I use cameramaps and rebaking a lot. (Used that to project the picture, too.) Takes a bit of time to set up but reduces guesswork and lets me paint over seams easily. Sometimes in the past I used to do two uv-sets even. A quick one, that is optimized for painting, without caring for uv-space/packing and a second one that is optimized for uv-space/engine. Can be a bad idea though, if someone else wants to do texture variations.

@ doc rob:

Really amazing! I, too, admire your use of brushstrokes and the sense of depth in your picture.

[Ravenslayer]

looks awesome noren
doc_rob: looking good, but i do think the foreground vehicle give me the wrong feeling about the overall perspective of the piece. don`t really know why

[dfacto]

Noren, that is really vibrant! Excellent job.

Hey Guys!

Long time no see, I have been working on this one today.
So this is todays creme de la crop.
Still working on the textures though, and I think I need to tone down all the damage on it a bit.

Have a go at it, and we'll see if I find time to adjust anything u might wanna change.
It's currently 1024 maps,
And I think the Grenade is around 1300tris, I was thinking about having it for First person view. It feels a bit too much, but it all depends I guess. Have optimized pretty much already. Next step in would be to remove the siluette of those bulky things on the body. And I would want to keep those soo.

And I also kinda don't like that the normals doesn't smoot the edges on those same bulky things as much as in my highpoly.

Thanks in advance!

Here is a lowpoly study of Gruetzners Falstaff.
http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:Eduard_von_Gr%C3%BCtzner_Fal staff.jpg&filetimestamp=20060315164902
Not animateable, just an empty hull right now. Perhaps I'll do a complete character or highpoly version if I find the time.
1225 tris and a 1024x1024 diffuse. I used the picture as a base for the texture.

MikeF, that looks like a large seam at the pillar's edge, and since its not there at the top I guess its some sort of baking artifact?

Haha, you guys start to make me feel a strange mixture between feeling really proud and slightly uncomfortable. :D
You DO realise that I did not come up with that character but Gruetzner did, right? There is a link to the original picture in my initial post and I used that as a start for the texture, too.
But thanks a lot anyways! :)

@ doc rob: I have definitely further plans for him. Unfortunately none of those involve possibly (most likely, in my case ) messy things like glue. :poly121:

[rooster]

dkk: looks cool and love the design, but I cant quite put my finger on why it looks odd to me: sort of looks like the helmet is in a different room or lighting condition to the pyro, like it was pasted ontop of a tf2 screenshot

[MikeF]

better?

its the saturation, mostly, check the photoshop I did right below his post.

And the spec and the rim light are missing?

[JasonLavoie]

http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/740/pilars1.jpg

Sorry if its too dark, going back and forth on different computers = bawls.

This is the second piece to the little scene I'll be working on, I'm probably going to bust most of it up though in the end.

Again, just stone texture thrown on, texturing will be next once I finish up blocking out / modeling the mini scene.

[ZacD]

Looks good, not too dark.

I really like the detail.

Yeah I would like to go back and rework the UVS, I did them at 6 AM during an all nighter (Bad idea).

And about the detached look, I know what you guys are talking about, IT does have a rimlight on, and a very very low Phong, too much and it ends up looking way too shiney, I'll show you guys an example.

And thanks Zac, I'm going to lower the saturation a bit, not as extremely as you did, but i'm definitely going to rework the textures.

[achillesian]

Decided to have ago at the cghub bust competition. Mainly working on realism pieces for my portfolio at the moment, so thought this would be a nice break.

Here's blockout stage 1 and 2, decided to go with Bernard from Day of the Tentacle after some quick low poly blockouts. I actually made Bernard a long time ago in real low poly but lost the model. :(

For the final render later on think i'm going to pose him with a scared expression and in his glasses reflection put a tentacle with a gun :)

Anyway, early days most of it's still blockout. Currently working on the eye area.

Japhir, I've got a bamboo, I love it too!

PS. Anyone got any tips for putting dents in high poly meshes? I want it to be much more beaten up eventually!

[okno]

Nice work Drav. Maybe you could cut some tris in and push verts in/out for dents

[beartraps]

Racer, nice! How did you go about the grip? Zbrush noise?

Drav, that looks great. You should use a sculpting app like mudbox or Zbrush to beat it up. Also, I would do that before you build a low poly so you know where to model major dents and damage.

I simply duplicated the grip polys, subd'd it until it was dense, and applied a noise mod.

I've added in the hammer, trigger, and text.

You could isolate the part you want to beatup, then apply a fairly rigid cloth type simulation and push collider meshes into it then freeze the cloth engine for your result

or grab a free trial of mudbox
