Here is my entry for the "Return to OZ" mini comp over at GA.

soooooooo good. love it

Firebert: Is this a realtime viewport or rendered? What renderer didi you use?

[Asteric]

duncan, now that is awesome, well done.

[Neox]

ah ten days in london, very relaxing, was nice meeting some polycount guys there, even if it was only for a very short amount of time, gave me the inspiration to go back to airborn

so here is a very quick blockout for the next airborn character Garrido, the grumpy lighthousekeeper

[Inkfish]

Finally have some free time continue learning 3d, I tought i'd start again with a relatively simple characeter and drew this concept, I'll do the sideview tomorrow and begin modelling... Btw how elaborate orthos do you guys do when you do models for yourself?

This page is full of cool stuff. I'll try to add some of mine (hopefully).

http://www.laurenscorijn.com/wipdir/scenewip05.jpg

It's a lighting test I'm doing, to, well, get better at lighting. It's not realtime, but it is pure simple scanline with no light tracer or anything, just placing all lights by hand. I hope to gain a better understanding of light by doing this.

[adamlewis]

Love the forms of that face, Neox.

I'm very happy with the turnaround time on this character. I started modeling yesterday morning and finished up with renders this evening. Rendering is wonderful for hiding sloppy sculpting ;). Sculpted and textured in Mudbox, rendered in Modo.

HEres a character that I am working on for my Final Year Project. Ive got to the stage of detailing him in xbrush but the main focus is creating a muscle system for him and getting him into a game engine like unreal...im not sure how to get the muscles from max to unreal though. If anyone has any suggestions that would be great :)

Just as an FYI, as someone who has actually handled multiple types of firearms, that trigger would be incredibly clunky and difficult to work with. It's about 2 - 3 times too wide.

[EricElwell]

I'm dig'n on the shrooms, look'n good :)


Here's a doodle from last night, working on compiling drop-in vector widgets for future textures

A bit excessive on the blobbery :)

[Snader]

http://work.ericelwell.com/RoE/MyHouse1cream800.png


Small but important point: because of the gaps between the outine it now looks like www.realmof.empires.com.

You want to fill out the space between the f and the E. And probably the one between m and o too.

[EricElwell]

That's a good catch, yeah, I admit I didn't spend enough time on the negative shape

[xvampire]

Some low poly mushrooms, and a little lump of terrain. I started playing Torchlight and felt like doing something kinda cartoony and hand painted.



lool you have really interesting style, is that seamless hand painted texture? noooice

@ Ericwell,
interesting, i rarely explore vector , i think it could be powerfull asset for texture ...


this is my current wip, still some stuff need to be polished ... i cant imagine working in manual painting .. i did lots of color correction and stuffs here ...

[aesir]

kickass xvamp


So, mops little goblin project reminded me that I haven't done any handpainted diffuse only stuff in years and years, so I dragged up and old soldier model and optimized it and re-did the UVs and started having some fun. Still a ways to go obviously, but I'd be happy to hear any crits.

fusebox for a mod project. normals+AO

[pestibug]

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/657985/A_R_002.jpg

phew, lots of problems with this guy. Somehow somewhere his pivot offset got screwed up, resulting in not being able to sculpt with symmetry.
Tried lots of ways to get his guy working again, which eventually worked out for the most part.
Only his hand and foot (hidden atm) are still screwed. Since that'll be mirrored anyway I can live with that.

Anyway, spend ton of time on techy salvage stuff, now finally back to sculpting.

[slave_one]

He looks like a problematic character too! Must have been its upbringing! Now GOGO sculpt pest!! : P

Dig that fusebox linkov .. !

[e-freak]

xvamp: you might realing the right leg (his right leg). it seems like he's sitting on something right now because his leg is to far forward. apart from that (minor) thing I really like it!

[Rens]

xvamp, like efreak said, the lines now make it look like his pelvis area is way long.

Also, the way his lower and upper arm are rotated is a bit funky, on the left, his bicep is straight and does not flow towards the twisted lowerarm.

Nice piece man :D

Pretty spiffy stuff Handsandwich. :)

nice work everyone!

handsandwich - that's a pretty awesome gun, i'm lovin the proportions!

cthogua - epic ass mushrooms! i love em

been doing studies to step my game up....

http://www.kensofresh.com/images/31.jpg

[iansmithartist]

Great study makoa, subtle the colour pallet and alot of character, do you mind if I ask where you got the reference from?

[HntrLuc]

hey cool work makoa! nice to see some new stuff from you

[adamlewis]

Nice fleshtones makoa.

[MikeF]

aesir: Looks awesome, could i see it from a different angle?
the texture is looking good so far, my only crit would be to maybe have the side pockets wrap around to the front a bit, that area looks kind of empty. Also, i'd dirty up the bandage over the eye a bit.

[Joseph Silverman]

makoa, xconvict, badass! repping 2d \m/

[Cthogua]

Thanks guys! I figured no environment art portfolio is complete without some cartoony mushrooms :P I"ll probably make one or two more just for shits and giggles, the shape is so simple but wildly variable in terms of proportion and texture/material there's really a lot of fun possibilities.

Makoa, thats a nice study man, but I would have to say don't be afraid to get a little more saturated with the mid tones on the body.

[GCMP]

lovely paintings xvampire and makoa. Makoa, she reminds me of the russian chick (http://www.contactmusic.com/pics/lc/hollywood_parade_301109/lesley-anne_down_2675341.jpg) from the The Pink Panther Strikes Again :D

linkov sweet render and detailling going on there :)

[LoTekK]

makoa: gorgeous palette.
danPV: love that helmet concept.

WIP of my girlfriend for her birthday next week. Still trying to sort out if I want to stylise the torso proportions. (don't mind the hair or the sloppy masking, still just blocking out the torso... also wondering if I should do full-figure, or bust)

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/778345/shyanne-wip2.jpg

updated to address some of Mezz's points (thanks!)

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/778345/shyanne-wip3.jpg

[Mezz]

If you're making this for your girlfriend, I'd suggest smoothing out the harsh line of the 'muzzle' (the one extending from the nose to the corners of the mouth). You also might want to play down the dark shades under the eyes. Yes, they're probably showing up in the picture you're working from (I assume you're working from a pic?) but if this is a present for her, go ahead, take some artistic license in making her look extra pretty :P

The boobs also look like they end a little too high up to be anatomically correct.

Nice start, though! :)

[makoa]

thanks for the kind comments yall, it's motivating...

iansmith - i forget exactly where i got the ref from, but probably from this awesome blog:

http://www.them-thangs.com/

cthogua - thanks man, yeah the photo was fairly desaturated, so i was trying to follow that. looking at it now though, i can definitely see it being more saturated...

[HandSandwich]

Great link makoa. A lot of inspiring stuff on there.

[Herman the sherman]

@Firebert

I think skin saturation could be toned down a tad.

like http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/4020/satob.jpg

Maybe some specularity breakup too =)

[Ikuru]

http://www.jonbalza.com/tutorials/chromesphere/step2.jpg

Yes, its a lensflare.

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


http://www.habitationofjustice.com/wp-content/uploads/simpsons_nelson_haha.jpg
You posted a Lensflare! ;)

[Firebert]

Sandro... shit man, i'm glad you pointed that out... i've been staring at that so long that i didn't realize i forgot to import my tweaked shader into the scene... omg... facepalm!

[BradMyers82]

Firebert: That's looks sweet man! I love the face!
My only suggestion would be to possibly give some of the black metal areas a slightly lighter color, and maybe work on some stronger specular highlights on the edges so they stand out more. Its just really hard to see any detail in the suit, because its all so dark. I think some specular highlights on the edges would help pull the forms out more.
BTW: How did you render that?

[Firebert]

Thanks Brad! I adjusted the shader and put in the revised skin shader that I forgot to import.

I edited the post with the render I just pulled.... let me know your thoughts....

I'm using MR for the render, and I've been fighting the damn MIA materials like a nobody's business... it's quite a different scenario from dialing in your spec and gloss maps... sometimes the shaders would literally bake the textures to the point of no matter what changes you made to the shader or the textures, it would remain unchanged in the renders. super annoying and a lot of drinking. but the timeline on the challenge was long, not a lot of pressure to finish, and i wanted to try some different shading stuff for a change. i won't be going back to using them for a while though. not fun.

an the armor from the ref i found isn't very specular tbh... pretty flat diffused metal. couldn't really match it though... failed that one imo.

[Joseph Silverman]

guass, sweet. Skintones are boss.

[Psyk0]

Psky0 - That is a beautiful head study. Would it be possible to see some wires sometime.

Sure, there you go

http://www3.sympatico.ca/psykopat/pics/08_wires.jpg
I didnt bother fixing the distortion on the neck =/.

And yes the ears need more work Sandro, i just tacked them on at 2 am and did only minor tweaking before going to bed.

[Sandro]

No prob Firebert, glad to be of use :)

Nice one Psyk0, ears look a bit flat though, as if they were modeled in side view and didn't receive enough love and care in persp

[Neox]

duck: really nice work

undoz: seeing your textures on zbrushcentral, you could try to overlay a simple 4x4 checker with 3-5% on the cloth parts, it really works wonders some times

ok worked a bit further on garrido
http://nonpublic.airborn-game.com/wip/neox/chars/garrido/garrido_03.jpg

[undoz]

You mean on the normal map? I think I wanted to try that but I forgot.
The model is coming along nicely

[Neox]

also spec and dif, you could test around where you need what intensity, but normally i end up using 3 or 5% depending on your texturesize a 2x2 checker will do, but when i do anything over 1k a 4x4 works better and holds up a bit better with mipmapping, but its really just a very subtle effect

Thanks :) It's not 100% done yet though (still tweaking textures). The engine it's for is from 2004, so it handles things really wonky and I have to blow out shit for it to show up properly. Right now it's using diff/spec/lum/bump (doesn't support norms).

Hey guys! My first official post here, hehe.. Great work everyone! I'm glad I've joined, and maybe I can contribute with something nice too :)

Vassago: I like the magnitude in the model, really feels huge! But the stretching in the middle section on the vents(?) takes some of that greatness away.. Or maybe its just not the vents best angle.. However, great work!

redmond_david: Nice potential! Keep it up :)

dn-revenge: Just keep modeling like crazy! And do study other people's work a lot! You'll soon notice how fast you're evolving :)

turpedo: I love that pillar! You've really nailed the cartoony diffuse.. But a couple of details could've been taken care of by a normal map..? But maybe you're not using any on your project, what do I know.. Great work :thumbup:


Time for one of my works I guess..
This is a zombie kid inspired from a concept by Björn Hurri.. It was for a school assignment so it was made in maybe 9-10 hours including the sculpting, retopologizing, texturing and so on.. Some things aren't too well done.. But I guess it's okay for the time limit.. Alpha was not allowed so i had to leave out the drool and fabric rips.. :P Hope you like it anyway!

[MattBradley]

The standard here just gets better and better. Well done everyone, you all deserve a big pat on the back.

Edit: I felt a bit inspired by all of your hard work so I thought I'd share what I'm working on at the moment. Its a new map for my UT3 mod Spectrum. This is really early, still got so much left to do, but hopefully it's somewhat recognisable...

i recognize the map!! DM-Deck from the Unreal serie!! :poly124: but you destroyed some of the fun of the game with just showing white lines.... the shader in the game engine is so amazing for realtime rendering

BTW, here is my work (not even near completion):

[W1r3d]

A quick concept and first blockout of the character for a friends competition :)

Polylimit is 1.5k and i'm currently on 1.2. A there are some things to optimize though. Havn't removed anything beneath the hanging cloth. so probably a few polys there that i could save. i see now that i also need to beef up her arms a bit. aswell as her shoulders.

Duck, Envelope - Thanks guys, these shots are from Max.

MattBradley: I do recognise it! Brings back great memories of being fragged over and over. D: I like what you are doing with it. Love to see where you take it :D

Thanks blenderhead, teaandcigarettes and firebert! Its so bloody hard to hand paint textures! But it sure as hell beast sculpting each feather in Zbrush *shudders*
Firebert: Snakes are AWESOME! So cute and sleek. You should forget this silly snake fear and try to find a place where you can hold a python. At least pat one, they feel so cool!

Turpedo! You post without showing any more shots! how dare you! *shakes fist!* I want to see more :(

[pior]

Looking back at the simplicity of Masamune Shirows designs ... and becoming quite a fan of the rather dry 90s CG look of his renders! Hence im kinda testing it all out on a speedmodel now.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v242/pior_ubb/pior_speedrobot_001.jpg

Not much to see, but potentially a base for later paintovers ...

[Neox]

hmhmmmmmm so nice and clean and yummy, very sweet blockout

ok i call the sculptingphase as pretty much over, here and there some small things to fix and clean up but basicly i think its done

http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/11/10979/garrido_07.1.jpg

[bbob]

Looking real good neox!

Got a few minor crits though, the hands looks very flat, they could do with some beefing up on the back of the hand. Also, the top of the gaiters look a bit too open, not like they are tied tightly around the bottoms of the trousers.

Oh, and awesome render pior!

[Neox]

the hands will be taken from the ingame version of the grandpa, so they are a bit more beefed up already, i just plugged something in to have something there :)

as for the gaiters, i'm not sure i kinda liked the flow they have, it was more straight first and i changed it while sculpting, but maybe you are right, should test that out

[JasonLavoie]

Thats great Pior, did you do a quick paintover the model, cause depending on where you look, sometimes it has that "3d" feel, and sometimes it looks like a concept, either way, mad respect mr pior.

Neox - I really respect your ability to breath life into these characters man, can't wait to see more updates on this guy.

[Nick Carver]

Pior: Looking good! I really like the forms you've got going on in the central torso area - the head shape is very cool. Are you going to scan in your brush pen stuff, huh?

[Wahlgren]

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/469564/brutusjr2.jpg


way wip. Got some more detail to punch in. Some proportions (Yeah it's a chunky beast) to play around with and then a quick zbrush-pass.

Based on the concept by this guy. http://www.guidokuip.blogspot.com/

Was sketching a W.Dafoe photo and a this subtle question came to my mind: Why this man never act as a Joke?! He have the look and feel of the original character.

After that, a quickly search told me about Burton's consideration to use his work in the first (and cooler) Batman film.

Another solution for the gaiters, would be to give the trousers a bit more weight and baggyness just where they go into the gaiters.

But I'm nitpicking, hehe

[pior]

I can totally see that gun in TF2. Without a skull though.

[Lord Fryingpan]

@Notorious : great job, but the slice on the side bothers me... It is supposed to eject the fired round, and it is way smaller that the muzzle diameter... Thus wether it's too small or the muzzle is too large.

Just nitpicking, though.

Interesting fact about the actual creature from the movie...the creature effects guys sculpted a penis on this guy, and made sure several times to bring it up with Fox to make sure it was ok to have that. They repeatedly said yes, then panicked before the release and spend $10,000 dollars digitally masking out the penis hehe...:rolleyes:

Thanks tacit math and Anuxinamoon. These are rejected concept sculpts, I think I'll leave them be and move on to other stuff. :)

[Ravenslayer]

build.: nice subtle forms, i do think that there should be some more curve in his back and maybe some more volume on the back of his deltoids.

The forearms look a tad to small but it could be that it's intended to look that way.
anyway nice work so far :)

super you still seem to be using the same basemesh as you use to all your faces , making them all look the same, also you tend to always give them the same bone structure, eye structure , lips :(

not a fan of that skull but damn the gun is cool

[Wahlgren]

neox. It's based on this concept. I don't want to stray to much from it but I kiiind of agree. Honor the creator etc. Skulls + gun were the theme of the competition it came from.

I could remove it though I guess. I don't know. Hmm.

[dtschultz]

There's always cool stuff here. Hopefully, I can contribute a little with this one.

This was something I did trying to learn how to use Zbrush. I just went back and tried to clean it up and make it a little better. This is just the decimated version rendered out of Max. I plan on continuing this and finishing out the rest of the building entrance this was a part of (already started, but not worth showing the rest yet).

@Notorious P.I.G: I think something like this would be cool:

http://www.deactivated-guns.co.uk/images/uploads/ppsh41/PPSH41_8.jpg


Also, perhaps make the ejection port a bit deeper, so it reads a bit better. Another thought is that the sling buckle perhaps looks too small. Sizing it up would also add to the general bulkiness of the gun, methinks.

Otherwise, top-notch work mate!

P.I.G. I'm loving that gun, although with the overall utilitarian style of it I don't think the skull is really bringing anything to the party. If you a totally stuck on the idea of putting a skull down there, maybe try stylizing into more simple, geometric shapes. Perhaps even a skull shaped out of actual functional bits.

JFletcher: Gotta love the toxic post-apoc redneck.

Something I painted up today.

Just finished this High-poly model of a doorway entrance, still some things I dislike about it but overall it turned out nice.

This is also my first post here and I wanted to say thank you to everyone for the amazing help and inspiration you all provide!

smedjeback looks really good! how did you get the glass windows to display like that? I wondered if using a seperate model for the windows is the only way to get alpha to work?

not a fan of that skull but damn the gun is cool

agreed, it kind of warhammerifies it

[Gallows]

Frogfish, nice work so far. And I'm not just saying that because it's a gal in a skirt. I really like the hand position right now. It's really intense. As for the boots, I'd say play with some styles.

Just some suggestions

a popular site like bluefly has tons of options and usually a turntable reference. But that's just me nit picking. Keep it up!

Yeh makes you think of those weird bulky guys.
If there was something more neutral on front maybe something that also rotates as the
clip emptys i could perfectly see a tf2 scout or engineer pimping one of these
