First post :)

Just tweaking an old model and doing some post process:

Pretty bad atm... Making some modular bits to make buildings with. There is 4 pieces here :) Figured I'd post here and not make a P&P until I'm almost done... That way I actually FINISH something ha

[Joseph Silverman]

Ariel, mvc! that is so awesome.

[[HP]]

that's pretty good Talon! :) Keep up man.

I got started using ZB (for real now) a few days / weeks ago, takes a while to get used to it man, more than I thought. But after that, it's a very good app with some very good plugins as well.

[brandoom]

Great work on these past couple pages :)

Low poly bomb, still needs some lovin' obviously.

very nice Gauss. Can we get a top down shot to see the layout?

sure, straight from UDK. here's the main street/alley set

Looks pretty good, although the outside eroding away to reveal bricks underneath is kinda unconvincing, it's a bit too uniform and geometric, and perfectly centered on the wall. Also, your main texture is too shiny. What's the wood board under the window for?

[sogun]

Thank you Marshal Banana (http://boards.polycount.net/member.php?u=17616) for the feedback!

I'm going to get the spec from the diffuse I get everything in ue3 so I didn't do that yet. The board under the window, I have no idea, just threw it there to break up the wall haha.

I was wondering about the erosion, I wasn't 100%, ill resculpt and bake ;)

Harry, I like it, but maybe deepening the cavity of the scales some more and/or add some more more color variation in the fleshtone could help.

thanks for the kind words! gaganjain. ill be sure to sure up the lower body a bit, the legs are definatly a little formless at the moment.

[Ged]

very nice robot but also very dark and hard to see

[Firebert]

Icespade: Looks great man! You've been improving a lot! Keep going man!

[Andreas]

Very dark Robot. Sexy though.

Wow, some awesome work here over the last couple pages.

I would love some suggestions as to where I should go with color on this thing;

I really like the fact that its slightly stylized but keeps a strong sense of realism....nice work man!

[Harry]

This is looking pretty stylised at the moment. Man hair is hard to do. I think i'll work in some photosource for use in the spec and stuff, should help a bit. Also going to put some alpha'd planes for wild bits. Any suggestions would be sick though.

Love everything about it.
You reworked your website didnt you? Looking good.
Please tell me you not still unemployed with that folio!

[undoz]

Yes, I've expanded it a bit :)
Well yeah, didn't have much luck with that, but it's no tragedy. I got more time to play and study :)

Pleased with the result, was a good practise to get familiar with Zbrush tools.
Btw, the black lines are due to shaderfx.

yeah there's some kind of fucking psychos who take it way too seriously. There's a chance they were australian actually, a considerable amount of the aus fanbase is into "tactical nights" and stuff

we have wars with new zealand ;)

Seconded.

[StefanH]

looks great jasp. and nice folio as well! i dig the dragon, very nice texturing :)

@Gav
I dig it. I think it has a bit of a dodge/burny look to it though if you know what i mean. I think the AO is a bit strong probably.

[woogity]

Seconded.

[3DRyan]

I usually just check out other people's stuff, so I think it's time for me to get off my lazy rear to show my own stuffs. www.3dryan.blogspot.com

Great stuff, everyone. Kudos to all.

[Aaagreen]

@3DRyan (http://boards.polycount.net/member.php?u=30400) the stuff in the top post of your blog looks worthy of a game like Left 4 Dead. Good job.

[Asteric]

Alex, what are you doing over here? Go back over to TGC lol (jokes)

[3DRyan]

Well, thanks! :)

It's funny you say that, because I would actually LOVE to make some stuff for Left 4 Dead, but Source is a fickle, fickle woman when it comes to making custom content.

when you get very bored, do you do a very lighthouse?

[AimBiZ]

Got displacement to work on the three pieces. Next will be texturing and seting up all the materials properly, along with some sss.

Snowfly, that shit is hot!

I agree fully. Is this for a big project or just something for fun, Snowfly?

[Tumerboy]

nice lighthouse Mark, that shit's sick. . . though it needs some water.

[aesir]

you have improved a ton since i last saw some of your stuff snowfly. noice!

sorry snowfly but you are making fanboys out of everyone, it's really been great to see how far you've come since last i looked at your work. great stuff.

Dayumn, Snowfly, I feel like it's been forever since I last saw work from you... this piece is BLOWING MY MIND! That's amazing. I really love the ideas for the characters and the designs. Holy crap. Holy crap. Holy crap!


P.S. Delirium is definitely my favourite. :D

[ICESPADE]

Great work everyone... my gosh I am tearing up from all the coolness. Thx for the comments everyone~

[undoz]

Great character AimBiZ. The rendering looks sweet.

Snowfly, are they from Sandman? Awesome stuff!

achmedthesnake: Everything there is mostly zbrush. The hair was done in "wedges" so each part is individual.

[Harry]

i fixed up the texture for this guy and this is how he looks in the arma engine

aimbiz and snowfly keep it up. that's a nice job with your displacement aimbiz.

here is some fun with particles and a shit ton of experimenting.

a more realistic setup, with the odd little glowing yellow guys, those were just another experiment:

[Harry]

awesome, how are you previewing that, srsly

[e-freak]

Shaders are way off (especially on shoes and hair) and helmet hair. Apart from that it looks decent. Looks alot like Christian Bale (or did I miss a Bateman joke here?)

ninja edit... american psycho *doh* :poly142:

[Shiv]

Whats going on with his neck at the back :o

rest looks good :)

[CrazyMatt]

@e-freak - The head and shoes are yet to receive a spec map. Right now it's just using source's default spec solution. Everything is still very much wip. ;)

@Shiv - I still am going to add hair planes on the head to produce a restless feel for the hair. From what I can see in the movie. His hair comes off it's comb balance and dangles a bit off-side. I'll post a new one when it's finished :)

[Harry]

so yeah... what kind of preview is that? you say "in" source engine, i didn't know you could accurately preview outside of compiling the model and placing it in a map or something

[e-freak]

HLMV - Half-Life Model Viewer ist around from even back in Half-Life 1 Days and is now using the Source Engine.

[Harry]

i couldn't get that to display normalmaps... Maybe a win7 issue

[Surfa]

It displays normal maps for me in win7, the problem is that the source engine doesn't handle the lighting very well on models.

[StefanH]

@harry
very nice. very realistic look to it. i like the materials

[Asteric]

http://i47.tinypic.com/2r5xa9x.jpg

Pretty sucky, but im trying to get better.

[3DRyan]

Asteric, I think it looks great! If you're going for a new sort of look, it looks spot on. Would be interesting to see it beat up more. Scratches, wear on the edges. Very cool, though.

[Asteric]

Yea, there is wear there, but the specular sucks atm, will need to fix it, thanks :)

[Fuse]

another study .. hair is a placeholder .. I want to try something out with custom alpha stamps later

http://thatpolygon.com/images/african_study.jpg

[alexl]

First go at a tree minus the leaves. Will have more twigs and smaller branches once I low poly it and get some alpha planes in there.

[gaganjain]

@ woogity model look gr8..but green color look bit dull maybe coz of pre-render
@ Fuse Ear look bit small when compare to over head

[Ged]

lol funkybunnies thats crazy, it would be kinda cool if you made him look barely bigger than a real egg sitting on that floor and added dof but its looking finished as it is anyway ha

[Noren]

Haha, awesome! :D
Scene and lighting is letting it a bit down so far, though.

[woogity]

Sandro: Thanks very much! the background is kinda just thrown on, but i agree it kinda flattens it out.

ngs616: Thanks for the kind words! maybe ill armor him at some point, but for now it was just a muscle study that i got excited about and painted and now i need to work on render stuff and its at a good point for that. Awesome color scheme!

gaganjain: thanks man! this is my first render using multiple passes from Zbrush. the original color pass was much greener. i took it down to about 37% because it just seemed more natural to me the shade it is, now i cant stop seeing frog skin :(

FunkyBunnies:!!! thats awesome! love the frills. i agree about the background tho, too naturalistic for the character i think.

Gav: nice nick fury!

Yes, its a lensflare.

Now that I got your attention check out my lipsync animation.
Critique and advise is much appreciated.

Love that beaver, Sandro, nice colours.

cheers, Scoobs, I'm moving on from it - but good points to remember, thanks :)

[Ged]

nice beaver

[9skulls]

check out my lipsync animation.

Where's the "lipsync" part? :D Animation was cool, but I couldn't see much of facial animation...

[3DRyan]

Tail looks a bit odd on the beaver, Sandro, but I think I actually like it better that way....

[Sandro]

Thanks guys =)

@3DRyan - Yeah, it's a bit weird but I like they way it catches highlights :poly121:

Okey so i did decide to texure my old crowbar model.

alexl: You did the tree-shape with zspheres? If I sculpt small and tiny parts at the end of the branche they deform often in a unwanted way.



I did this small scene to show a nice sunset mood: http://www.youtube.com/user/pure3dviz#p/a/u/0/g_Ni21K4Ek0

Otherwise I started some stuff for GDC presenations which I can't show off yet.

[Dado Almeida]

Kind sad because Rhinokey wasn't continue to develop TechMechs (whe're the Coders)...anyway I was working in that "fanart" to remark that great initiative of him:

The idea sketched (really sketch)

http://amonsteria.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/dadoalmeida_techmechsfan2.jpg
The linework; that I like a lot, but I realize that the piece is lacking of some rhythm in the composition. But I'll keep moving.

[MattQ86]

Here's what will probably be my final submission for GA's "Return to Oz" comp.

http://i485.photobucket.com/albums/rr213/Pwnan_Obrien/sc_presentation.jpg

[Dado Almeida]

MattQ86, I like the style of it, but I can see a lot of little improvements you can work on the texture. Since it's late for this, my 2 cents is to put more work in the lightning of the beauty shot. They're too strong in some parts (spec map?), like the feet...and there's no shadows to model the forms.
And get rid of that Normal Map, I can't see where's needed (used) in that specific model.

Anyway. Good work.

ps..: you have an insane sprite as avatar. What is this? Mutant League Football ?

[MattQ86]

Thanks Dado, the deadline's not until Monday at like 11PM, so if you want to point out any little problem areas with the texture feel free. I've been looking for something to do with the rest of the day and I suppose finding a good lighting solution in Maya other than "saturation bomb with volume lights" is a good way to go. And yes, my avatar is a character portrait from Mutant League color corrected to match Polycount's scheme.

Ironic that I'm getting more constructive feedback here than GA...just saying.

[Asteric]

Getting there...

Took apart my 360 controller,

its thumbsticks were played to a blah, so i cleaned it, greased it up, and chopped off a part of the springs to make it trigger easier.

Playing halo all day and triggering 10k each time, makes you want something smoother.

oeh and i made the thumbsticks and buttons black, :D

Awesome Blazier!

Close to finished with this, hopefully not too overworked?

[Dado Almeida]

So Matt, here's something I can suggest you about that specific work. But please dude, in any way I'm trying to say that "my version" is better than yours. Ok? I did that overpaint just to show what points I miss in your model.

Read, See, Analyze and rework the advices in your own style/art direction. K?

http://amonsteria.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/mattscarecrow_overpaint.jpg

(1). If you have to stick with the Normal Map, try to make it more visible. I would use more bold winkles where his hat bend and in his cape.

(2). It's a shame, but I never read The Wizard of Oz. Anyway, a quick search in Wikipedia tells me that the Scarecrow "talks" (that's why I suggest some mouth) and he wishes to have a brain (that's why I would change the black-dot-eyes for something to make it more ... dumb, idiot, not so smart. Eyes are too much important to give appeal to characters.

(3). You're using a 1024 texture, but the result are blurry. If you're using photo-reference (which is Ok), try to sharpen the details (not just using the Unsharp Mask filter), but overpainting. In his shirt I suggest to enhance more the difference values of each stripe, to enrich the texture. Got it?

(4). Here's a area that you really have to think about it. Your "props" are too subtle (imho), and since it can help to tells something of the character story, make it pop. The stripes around his arms, the belt, the patches could be bigger and more colorful (in this case, I use small portions of blue to contrast the variety of orange, yellows and brows you're using).

(5). That curvy effect in the straws isn't hard to make and increase the value of the silhouette. I recall that effect when playing in my grandpa farm.

(6). The texture of the hands and feets are the most critical thing. Like I've said in 3, photo needs to be overworked. I paste an example of a straw reference. Maybe you can achieve a better texture using a Flat brush, painting stripes in top of each other, varying the hues of yellow, hot-greys and brows.

(7). Like in his sleeves, you can increase the silhouette of the pants spreading the polygons a little more. As the Normal Map, the usage of the Alpha can be more visible.

That's it. Hope you absorb something of my points. They aren't hard to work and can make the character more interesting to play with.

Ok?

Asteric, it's a lot clearer what's going on with the detail in these pics. The graffitti is also a nice touch. Good job.

@kodde: Thanks! Its a valley that gets its vitality from gases and starlight.
It'll possibly be in a game i'm working on, but it's not for sure yet.

I have to do some more work to it. I'm most likely going to make another section of the level have more types of life and some type of crazy rocks/stones. I want to make a more realistic sky for it also.

[Andreas]

I would disagree on changes 2&3 Dado. The rest are good changes. Although I already really like the character, great design and silhouette.

Where's the "lipsync" part? :D Animation was cool, but I couldn't see much of facial animation...


hehe yea agree. I find it hard not to make the jaw go like crazy, it's a fine line. But i guess i can exaggerate the eyebrows and the O's and F's.

I zoomed in and added a cut. Kinda like this version more.

http://vimeo.com/9618700

[MattQ86]

Thanks Dado, the deadline's Monday and I'm a bit busy with work and some other things between then but I'll try to burn the midnight oils and get as many of those changes in as possible. The only one I can see as any major problem right now is #2 since I'm already about 60 tris under the limit. The rest of the changes will mostly be a battle of making sure my textures don't get stretched out too much.

Blenderhead, thanks man, always good to get a compliment from a regular.

When you have such a shader, how much shadow detail should you put in the texture?

I'd just add details where there isn't enough model detail to put the shader to work. Other lighting information could still be there, just make it very subtle.

[Aaagreen]

Well if you look at Wind Waker, the textures have no lighting details at all, the nice shader does it all.

This is happening quite often lately...Anything wrong with the board?

Naruto clash of ninja uses a toon type shader as well, im almost positive there is no shadow detail in the texture.

Hey guys,

Been trying to sigh up here since yesterday. I'm really amazed at all the great work everyone is doing. This is my second try getting into 3D model/game art (I used "Anim8or" a few years before but now I have access to 3DSMax).

here some crappy stuff i did a week or two ago...
the only reference image i had at the time were in game "Torchlight" models. (i dont have internet at home for a while) I feel kinda foolish cause i didnt know that these guns don't really have wide open mouth ends like that >_>...that its mostly a cartoon thing...

I hope the image resizing is auto cause i dont know how :/
