[Electro]

Bring. It. OOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

2009 had even MORE posts than 2008.
2009 thread is available here (http://boards.polycount.net/showthread.php?t=59196). So much goodness!

Happy new year polycount!

Portfolio Update o.O

polyphobia.de (http://www.polyphobia.de/html/wordpress/)

[ScudzAlmighty]

5 parts awesome, 1 part too damn many clicks.

[Quaggs]

Getting some more practice with zbrush, Still having a tough time with areas like the eyes, and mouth. I havent done ears on this one yet, now im finding it to be very counterproductive to add them in after blocking in everything else and moving on. probably should have added them at the same time as the rest of the detail.

Gah!! Such a fresh and new WAYWO thread... not even two pages yet. I feel compelled to post something in here now! :D I'm pretty sure I posted this in the "We can do traditional art too!" thread, but I don't think I did it here, so:

Acrylic on canvas, 24x36"
Made it as a comission by my friend for her mother for xmas :P I don't think it really looks so good in this photo (I suck at taking pictures of paitnings :(), but her mom apparently really loves it. Like, tears-in-her-eyes-when-she-unwrapped-it, love it. I was so thrilled to hear it :)

I made if from a postcard my friend brought back from Scottland. This is the Ring of Brodgar, on the Orkney Islands. Her mom is Scottish, so it seemed appropriate :)

good start on 2010 works guys!

Kwakkie: that's really sweet.

kite212: Forehead is a big large, face a bit flat and weird. Also it looks like she's about to fall backward, might want to move the feet back a bit.

[Nick Carver]

Happy new year guys!

Neox: Tons of great work on your site (lots I'd never seen before), but I think the navigation could be a little simpler.

Here's some doodles from the past couple of days. I'm trying to take reference pics and stylize/change them as I draw in order to absorb information rather than just copying. Inked and then scanned and adjusted in PS:

Achmed: i think the main thing that stands out to me is his nose. I reckon it should be narrower. Right now you've made it rather bulbous, whereas it should be stronger, more boney (cartilagey?)

Nick i f'n love your stuff. In fact. Im stealing the zbrush doodle for inspiration.

[Ruz]

achmedthesnake - have you got any side views. nose is the biggest thing with this likeness and it should taper more on the bridge and is too bulbous as mentioned. quite a tough one though as he is not that distinctive really
Entity - is that the bloke who plays wolverine?

[Neox]

thanks everyone for the input i just changed a few things, i'm really not good at html, css, java or php stuff, reading it is very cryptical to me thats why i use wordpress with premade layouts and some graphical changes to them, so however, what i changed

i added an really obvious "x Close" Button thats not only on the bottom as before, but also on the top of the facebox "popup", also it's integrated into the box and not external as before

and i changed the arrows that have been besides the headline and moved them inside the preview images so its also more obvious how to use it

what i would like to add but where i have to dig a bit deeper and what i'm totally not sure about is, to add some arrows inside the box so you don't have to exit it when you want to switch galleries + changing the mainside with that too, but really i have no clue how to do that and working on websites gives me a big headache, thank god its wordpress and once set up, super easy to update etc.

Website Update! (http://www.polyphobia.de/html/wordpress/)

Neox, did u code that stuff or did u find that somewhere? I really like how it opens up like that .

I'm now happy neox ;)



If you really want to try to put some "coding" work into it:

I'd love to see the content-screen already open below the scroller.. and the only thing mr. user does is scrolling .. there could be a delay before the concent window is updated so one can scroll through the bar without having to wait for all thumbs to load


aaaa but thats my 2 - fidyyyscent


SplatPixel : great hear concepts!!

[Piflik]

Leviathan...that Topo really hurts me...have a look here (http://www.subdivisionmodeling.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8911)...I know you might not plan on animating that face, but also for sculpting you might want to have proper Topology...

Yeah I know, just wanted to start sculpting asap and rushed it. Just don't need to let it become a habit. :shifty:

[Neox]

mLichy: No i did not, i'm a 3d artist even though i should have learned that stuff in my apprenticeship, but i never like webdesign. Its written in "about" and in "contact", the layout is done by press75, i searched for portfolio layouts for wordpress that don't look like a normal blog, i had that before and it implies that i'm willing to cotribute via writing, but i'm not a writer and really don't write as much text as i create 3d stuff so i needed a change. Also i wanted a clean and professional presentation and thought the "folio-elements" layout definitely fits these needs. I found quite a lot of other nice looking layouts but most where too complex or blog style.

@rollin: not quite sure what you mean, but i guess you mean that the conent doesn't open in an extra window but add a table or div or whatever below the large gallery thumbnail? I doubt i can do that with my VERY limited knowledge, all i can do is copy paste and edit what i think i understand :D

@leviathan: i guess if you just wanted to sculpt, you could better just create an even simpler basemesh or use a premade one, thats more quadbased with an even distribution of detail, look at the mudbox baseman for that, thats what i use pretty much all the time, you are free-er when developing forms and shapes when you don't have too much flow already defined, but thats just my experience :)

@kiripiri: a bit nopisy but some really nice shapes in there!

[moose]

splat, those hair designs rule.

[Frump]

@Neox: On your new portfolio, the largest word on the page is "portfolio". What's more important, stating that it's a portfolio or stating the name of the person whose work and portfolio it is? :)

Might want to swap your name into that text area if possible. Other than that, it looks good and works well.

[okno]

Nice splat. I like 6 and 8.

[danshewan]

I decided that I needed some practice nailing down my high to low workflow before applying it to two environment scenes I'm working on right now, so I decided to focus on finishing more assets.

As such, I'm making this portable communications unit from Paul Richards' awesome concept art from Quake 4:

Still messing with edgeflow and proportions right now, but the main focus of this piece for me will be the texturing - I need to start putting in more time in Photoshop, and thought this would be a good piece to practice.

MM:
Thank you very much for the videos! <3
Wanted to ask, how would you translate those brush strokes into zbrush.
That is, your strokes are like /\ (pinched and sharp) but even with some tweaking my strokes come out like /`\ (like a hill with a smooth gradient). Maybe i should play with the settings more :P as atm i have to pinch the smooth strokes and so on. Bah, im blabbing :S

Thanks again

[Jackablade]

I usually use a combination of decobrush and Slash 3 to lay down wrinkles. You can get a nice looking effect going quite quickly.

Here's some more studies. Again, an exercise in expanding my visual vocabulary and in pushing stylisation:

The last 3 post look great.
Cool stylized sculpt ya got going.
I'd like to seem a better quality lighting, but the lighting looks really good. Kinda mirrors edge-ish.
The black and white "marker lines" look great.

[pior]

hmmmmmmboxers,big jaws, broken noses, loving it all Nick!
stupid question : is it all scanned in then overlaid on a textured background? or is it some awesome roned paper you got here? also it seems you found a great white brush pen ... those are so hard to find, i tried so many of them with no success...
Inspiring!
Cant wait to sneakpeak at your inks again tomorrow ;)

[Nick Carver]

Hey Pior,

Actually, it's brush pen over blue pencil on white paper which I scan and then add the whites and paper texture in photoshop. I'm going to call this technique 'tradigital' :D.

See you tomorrow, fella!

[duncan]

Thanks for the kind words guys :)

Mladen Jovicic: I love that guy. The proportions are awesome.

Nick Carver: I am really digging your quick little sketches. You are really grabbing hold of the character in each one. ACE work. I am keen to see some more please :)

[MrMachete]

looks awesome! I thought it was a second concept for a second then and had to re-read it's the 3D :) maybe the wood is a tad red though, maybe add some yellows or desaturate it a tad to match the concept. I think it would pick up some nice light and highlight colours if you are still going to add the green bulbs.

Turpedo: Awesome concept man! I really dig your work. :)

[praetus]

Turpedo, I really love this design but I'm not entirely feeling the transition to 3d. You have some really beautiful curved lines going on in the drawing and then then 3d seems really straight and linear.

Looks amazing Turpedo :)

[Ferg]

looks great turp, only thing is the telescope looks like it's aimed more at the user's crotch region instead of the head. That's assuming this is a telescope, of course.

[Zoid]

looks great turp, only thing is the telescope looks like it's aimed more at the user's crotch region instead of the head. That's assuming this is a telescope, of course.

and judging from the angle of the sun, its pretty close to burning a hole through said crotch. which is hilarious and i actually like that... but reminds me to tell all the kids out there, never stare at the sun with your crotch through a large telescope.

[turpedo]

Heyyy thanks for the input guys :). Didn't you hear? Its just a giant crotch scope!

This will probably be my last update post since I dont want to spam this thread with it. I changed the lighting, telescope angle, and camera angle. Hope you guys like this version better!

turpedo (http://boards.polycount.net/member.php?u=22682) Cool...But at some places it looking it colour are burn in too much.

[WesleyTack]

On the axe, it looks like the metal is pealing off instead.

[Jeremy Wright]

My only critique on the cleaver is there would be more splatter. Think about the splatter pattern as the cleaver is slammed into a chunk of meat. Normal force, equal and opposite reaction and all that.

[MoP]

Meh, I am so slow...

http://www.greveson.co.uk/dump/foto_wip12.jpg

Of course based on jouste's amazing concept work!

[aesir]

awesome mop. you started that a long ass time ago but it's been worth the wait. Did you model a lot of that in pose?

[mat]

MoP that is most awesome

[MoP]

aesir: Nope, I just posed it tonight (which is why there's clipping errors and floating bits and weird bulges all over the place).

I've exported the lowest subdivision from Transpose Master into Max, rigged it with Biped so I can easily pose/animate the base mesh and bring it back into ZBrush.

So now I just need to settle on a good final pose, and do the final sculpting pass in this position. Up until this point it's all been neutral T-posed, and a fair bit of it is mirrored (hands, forearms, legs and feet). I will try to sculpt more unique folds, stretches and muscle positions once I've settled on the final pose.

[TheDarkKnight]

Really nice so far MOP! Are you posing the high poly because it's for a 3D print or just a nice render?

[MoP]

FAT_CAP: 3D print, hopefully (nice render being a side effect of that!) :)

[Blaizer]

That's a very cool model Mop, i will be looking foward to see more progress, keep it up!

i so gotta go back and pose the Dyrt Soldier and get him printed. i keep getting damn crazy explosions with TPose Master when I convert back though, so posing each individual piece is a damn crazy big pain to do in ZB. now i has a sad. again.

[Joseph Silverman]

MoP! Finally someone doing jouste some joustace.

Jackwhat, beastly. I'm a huge fan of your painting, but i feel like these little concept pieces youve been doing arent near as good as your studies -- these last couple are a big leap forward though

I started doing some work on the upper body today, still very WIP :

http://i351.photobucket.com/albums/q458/TheDarkKnight_NL/ZBrushDocument.jpg

One question though, does anyone happen to know if there is a quick way in Zbrush to model cloth detail as seen in this picture :

http://i351.photobucket.com/albums/q458/TheDarkKnight_NL/example.jpg
(Image property of : Manny Llamas (http://boards.polycount.net/www.artbymanny.com))

Or is that something I should leave for the texturing phase?

[bommel]

I worked on the muscle dude. I think i leave it with that. Thanks for the previous comments!

@steffen: thanks for your help!

[Marine]

One question though, does anyone happen to know if there is a quick way in Zbrush to model cloth detail as seen in this picture Or is that something I should leave for the texturing phase?

You could do it with alphas, or you could do it with an overlay on your normal map, really depends on your preference

[achillesian]

One question though, does anyone happen to know if there is a quick way in Zbrush to model cloth detail as seen in this picture :



I think there might be a way to do this with the new feedback feature, or whatever the feature is that turns up bumpyness over everything thats unmasked, i forgot what its called. Anyways you might be able to use that.

[tacit math]

TheDarkKnight

one way is to > put your uv's out as best you can with a mind to how the thing would be constructed as a garment. then you can use an image to pop those details out with displacement in zb. or use as an alpha

doing it this way allows some freedom to mess about with sizing in ps ( with your image ). since simply applying the effect in zb is a one or two step and ' global ' process. and it's kinda non destructive in a way

[JasonLavoie]

I'm not sure how I feel about that rim light shader, face looks great, very mass effect.

I actually feel as the though the face is a little weird... I don't know if its the proportions that are confusing me or not... but it just looks like it doesn't fit... and yuh, that rim shader is making absolutely no sense at all.

Why not try and setup some basic lights to set the mood, then do a new render, cause that shader is confusing me.

[ima]

I don't really like the texture on the suit. Seems a bit oversaturated in places.
Or maybe it's just the mix of colors that seems odd to me.
Really like the head, but yeah, like they said, I'd like to see a different render as well.

Looks Cool! The only thing would be the colours, the orange is a bit too brown, the green a bit too olive; I mean, if you want it to be as close to the original as possible.
Also the AC needs to be whiter!
Will you be baking lightmaps for this? Im guessing the texture budget of the DS might not allow it.

[MoP]

Even though the sculpt's not finished, I wanted to mess around with rendering and compositing.
Now when I finalise the sculpt, I can just drop it into the scene and render it for instant turnaround goodness :)

http://www.greveson.co.uk/dump/foto_turn.jpg (http://www.greveson.co.uk/dump/foto_turn.avi)

Requires the XVid (http://www.xvid.org/Downloads.15.0.html) codec.

Unfortunately I think I forgot to render out the last frame so it doesn't quite loop perfectly :(

[conte]

what a sexy beast, well done, Paul!

[GCMP]

MoP, Awesome! How did you get such good quality at 1.5mb?

[MoP]

GCMP: Rendered out full uncompressed AVI (133mb), imported into VirtualDub, set the compression to XVid at a quality of 2.0 (1.0 is the best, but also about 4x as big). It's only a 72-frame video, but XVid codec is just really good :)

I'd lower the strength of the chromatic abberation though for the final render/turnaround it's a bit overpowering.

The proportions are quiet nice on the Scout for the way you redid this ME stuff, so you might think about replacing him with another character ME themed but simmilar/exact same sillouette?

MattQ86 : Thanks man

hellobuddy : Thanks, I'l mess around with the colors in a bit to get them to pop a bit more, you're rite about them being off a bit. All the metal will prolly do with some whitening later on, just need some contrast rite now for the rest of the environment. In the end i'l more than likely do lightmaps, since the project is being built using unity, i should stop calling it mirrors edge DS hehehe, just sounds catchier

e-freak: My thoughts exactly, if anyone wants to step up and build me one i'm all for it :)
That's gonna be the hardest part of this project for me, I havnt done a character since graduating college 2 years ago

His clothes are WAY to baggy. So baggy that you can't even see his body shape and he ends up looking like all his sides are just a straight line down.
