What Are You Working On? 2011 Edition!

[Ravenslayer]

glad you like it already :)

forgot to post this earlier, i'm having some terrible stretching on the chest so i'm not sure what i'll be doing with this one

[NoctyQ]

My one blue door a day week has officially started. Stop bitching about the render.

Stop bitching about the render.

:poly122:

[NoctyQ]

:poly122:
Haha, for a sec I was worried that people would think I were referring to something posted above :poly122: Was referring to the chromaticz Aberration post effect!

I've been sleeping while modelling today, I'm not joking. I thought I'd been dreaming when I woke up in my bed, had to go and check on my comp... Scaaary :(

[TDub]

@ NoctyQ (http://www.polycount.com/forum/member.php?u=37561)
I don't care too much for the chromo, but the overall red hue should definetaly go..

Color Correction of NoctyQ's work. Not mine.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20237615/day01_prop.jpg

Much more pleasing to look at, and you can see the real colors.

[Free_Fall]

German halftrack here

http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/5565/wip3.jpg

[Mike Yevin]

NoctyQ: that chromatic aberration is over the top tbh, its almost making me dizzy looking at it. but i also agree with TDub that the red hue isn't doing your blue door any justice. looks much nicer in the paintover. regardless, its a nice looking door

[NoctyQ]

Haha I shall never write/post when I'm tired!:poly136:
What I meant was that I were aware of that the post effects and colour tint made the object look terrible! Might have come across like I was defending it though, which wasn't my intention.

Very much thanks for the awesome feedback TDub & Yevin! :)

The plan is to make one blue door every day of the week and so forth getting better at zbrush! :poly142:

@ Free_fall
That halftrack is sick so far! I've been playing Men of War like crazy for the last week! My top secret nazi sniper squad will soon fit perfect in it.. :\

[Squip]

Started in Sculptris, exported to ZBrush for detail sculpting. Not the best workflow as it turns out. Lesson learned and hopefully it doesn't show.

im glad people like them.

so since i was rendering stuff i rendered off a head i did for a personal project.

truedeja: haha gread idea! Funny!

TDub: love the stuff, looks great.

[Monolith]

Finally... I managed to get the Torso and the Head of Cain done. They both took an incredible amount of time -_-
http://homepage.hispeed.ch/war.of.art/RC2_04.jpg
I had to take some artistic freedom with the internal superstructure since I'm going to get him Laser Sinthered and I probably gonna need mass to hold it all together.

Now moving on to the Arms. Now which one should I do first of them four...

I think I'm actually in love with this. I fapped seven times already over it.

I would have made it eight, but I ran out of jam.

@monolith can you timelapse some hard surface modeling?

[truedeja]

@monolith looks siiick

[pantsyuu]

First time posting, here\s a render of the skin shader I'be been working on. http://img846.imageshack.us/f/prog16.jpg/

[needs glue]

truedeja - fantastic renders and great sculpts, graduation photo is great.

Monolith - very clean lines, great work so far and lots of fun watching it slowly build up with more and more mass to it, was it Cain that had the opening hatch on the front with the little johnny 5 arm to grab the drug they used? I remember how cool that was haha.

[ENODMI]

Truedeja - Awesome sculpts!

[HntrLuc]

Cool stuff fellas!

truedeja - sweet sculpts!

monolith - some really nice and clean modeling

Here's an update on my current WIP. Got the low res done and baked down. Just polypaints baked down for diffuse for now, with a five minute spec map. He's about 11k tris, with a 1024 map.

[Mike Yevin]

hntrluc: i am totally in love with that character, fantastic work. at first glance i thought it was the high poly :thumbup:

monolith: clean work, and i really like the design. ill be keeping an eye on that

some crap from me, still super wip. first experience with folds but everything is super rough. inspired by daphz's spacebro

Wait thats not real..? :o

@ Hboybowen:
I'm not really good in doing a time lapse of my work especially not since I believe they would bring up more questions than answers like:
"How the fuck was he rotating, moving AND panning the Viewport at the same time with his cursor beeing offscreen selecting Tools!?"

But I could find the Tutorials that started me doing SubD Modelling.
Tutorial 1: Basic understanding how MeshSmooth/TurboSmooth works (http://designreform.net/2009/02/3ds-max-working-with-subdivision-surfaces-part-1-meshsmooth/)
Tutorial 2: Putting it into action and maybe learn some tricks along the way (http://cg.tutsplus.com/tutorials/autodesk-3d-studio-max/model-a-high-poly-roof-hatch-in-3ds-max/)

The only Idea I can give would be:
Try to keep your Mesh in Quads - Especially near edges and around corners.
Experiment with cuts and how they look in TurboSmoothed Level 1, 2 & 3
Have Snickers (http://www.snickers.com/default.htm) and Nespresso (http://www.nespresso.com/#/ch/en) at hand, lots of em...

@ needs glue:
Yep, that was Cain. Though the "little Johnny 5 Arm" was actually the larger one he used to catch the Nuke Container Lewis threw towards him @ 8min 23sec
The smaller "Pincer Arm" was then used to insert the Container into the... uh... Food Processor? xD

[scrawld]

Hate to ruin all this awesome work with my puny suitcase :P. This was meant to be a quick project to work on before Dom War started.

I'm not sure how to progress; It still doesn't look right to me. The leather looks like choclate cake :/. Does anyone have any suggestions?

HntrLuc: That's some quality baking right there buddy! The one thing that kind of bugs me is the rigid look of the rope around his waste. Looks a bit unnatural imho. :)

Uly: Absolutely gorgeous!

[HntrLuc]

Thanks for the comments guys!

CJE - thanks, its based on a race for a book series "Mistborn". Other than that i pretty much jumped straight into sculpting and did paintovers here and there to figure his loincloth and weapon straps out.

maph - thanks man. I'm not 100% happy with the waist rope yet either. hopefully i can bring the quality up a bit with a few extra polys, rebake, and textures. otherwise it seemed like the best option (i didn't want to have a bunch of messy mesh intersections when it came to rigging)

[moof]

Uly> that's really sweet lookin!

[sltrOlsson]

Diffuse only and very much WIP. BUT! The roof, yey or ney?

Cool stuff guys!

Here's a character I've been working on, don't do alot of zbrush or character work so it's been fun.. Oh and I used arshlevon (http://arshlevon.cgsociety.org/gallery/) base mesh. Love it.

aight so after getting my new rig I decided to re-texture this thing as it was kinda shit before. I'm a lot happier with this texture, still WIP and the diffuse is in the spec slot

@sltrOlsson I would darken that roof a bit it contrasts a bit strongly with the rest of the house which seems quite whether beaten.

[Drav]

Nice freefall, tho that that disc on the front of the bonnet just BEGS for a sneaky polycount logo :D

[jordan.kocon]

gibson543: I dig the prop, the only thing is it's a little clean where it connects to the cement, as the cement looks quite grungy

[gibson543]

I'm considering this the final. three 2048 by 2048 maps, diff, spec, normal. 4028 triangles displayed in the marmoset toolbag.

That's awesome. What are you making it for? You should do a city thing with the UDK or something if you're not already doing that.

PogoP: Fine fine I'll try that out :p

Legend: Hey thanks bro! I wasn't really doing it for much except to improve my texturing skill and finally get a decent portfolio piece. And that is actually not a bad idea, I might have to do that now lol

[PogoP]

Don't get me wrong Gibson, it looks awesome! Probably should have said that in my post :D

If I were you I would, you could make something really great with the UDK. Cities, especially at night are really awesome with the UDK thanks to the new DX11 reflections which make things like headlights have long streaks like in real life.

thanks guys :]

illusion: pretty cool lion, man. few anatomical issues here and there if youre shooting for realism. biggest bits would be how the base of the tail doesn't have enough girth, and the snout would probably be quite a bit more pronounced. something up with the eyes too, can't put my finger on it right now, maybe after some sleep.

those are just nitpicks though, super cool!

[Rens]

Slave_one,
Im using a modified material, not sure what it ever used to be.
Ontop of that I use another one or sometimes two materials that have a reflective surface to catch some more lighting information.
Combine these layers in photoshop with using "lighting" as layermode, it will sample out these highlights for you ontop of the base material you picked. A real simple yet useful way of combining materials you like, or create effects that are otherwise a bit difficult to create.

Also, when rendering is set from "preview" to "best" you can activate lighting information to add more depth to it then the default ao does.
Under document, you can set the background color and the range of its gradient to 0.
Looks nicer and you can paste images together real easely.

yes all soft edges, one smoothing group.

agreed about the cables. but i originally modeled this under a very strict triangle budget and didnt have the time to re-do the low poly and all the baking again. just did the texture recently.

@MM that is just insane

Anyone got tipps on giving the Zbrush sculpts a finishing touch? i can't believe that claytube + smooth and Hpolish are the things to use to give something a finishing touch. Also i was kinda wondering if there's a trick to get some sharper curves done, my hand is kinda bit shaky :(

as for the shader nothing special, just standard phong shader with these maps pluggued in:
diffuse, normal, specular, spec power, reflection mask, environment map and glow.

What exactly do you mean by finishing touches? Usually yeah, carefully placed strokes of smooth and polish brushes do the trick, but first define the major shapes and the sillouette.

As for smoothing out curves, have you tried using Lazy Mouse? Hotkey 'L' if I'm not mistaken.

My take on the splash damage env test. As I couldnt actually find the actual spec, I just went off on my own and not really worried about the actual poly count :poly124: Keeping it realistic though! So, anyway, its my first UDK experience.. so I`m a total noob still. Its also not finished quite yet..

http://img830.imageshack.us/img830/5114/docks9a.jpg

***Oh yea.. The Wire fences are not mine! they are from the UDK, as standin. I also used the Decal map from one of the other maps! I am running out of time to do it, so cut those corners! I`ll also make my own weeds to replace the test flowers you might see.***

Well i was wondering though if there's a tool witch allows me to kinda cut out some polygons to give a piece a better shape, because with more clay and smooth it doesn't always work out the best.

thanks a lot though :)

http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t92/ddexter2/dragon.jpg

[benji]

A quick ZBrush question - how do you define sharp edges, like under the breast - masks? or is there a brush that does this?

I am a total nube...

[disanski]

Benji you could try the damian standard brush which is under the lightbox/brushes, or use the pinch brush.

[Stinger88]

Mask and move brush is good for creases like that. Mask below the breast and move the breast down to form the crease. Then add extra definition with the Dam standard or slash brush. Pinch if need be.

This is my 3rd time in Z-brush, need to figure out how to add finer details!

http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t92/ddexter2/dragon.jpg

sub-divide your mesh

[SaferDan]

sub-divide your mesh

Thanks man! I know that its just even when i go higher i just can't seem to get the finer, finer details i need to go and find some tutorials!

[achillesian]

@SaferDan Was the mesh in triangles or something? Make sure stuff is quads when it goes to ZB, also don't be afraid to subdivide up to the hundreds of thousands and millions if you aren't.

Also: if you're sculpting from a sphere or something, you either have to subdivide excessively, or retopo and make a new basemesh that better fits the shape of the object.

[SaferDan]

Well i had massive issues with this tbh i made a base mesh in maya but left a massive hole where the back legs are ¬_¬ i have no idea how i did that! but yeah after 2 hours in Z-brush i realised! so i decimated it , fixed the hole in maya and then put it back in Z-brush. It was probably a bad thing to do! But yeah i realise that i can sub divide loads its more a case of what brushes to use etc! but yeah thanks for the advice guys :)

Here are my suggestions.

To get fine detail (like thin part lines, you need to subdivide above the million mark. I find around 3 mill is enough. If you need finer detail you have to convert to HD geometry.

For breasts, try the move elastic brush with a low intensity but a fairly wide brush and a mid range focal point. In x you'll be able to pull some nice forms out and move them down to get the breast folds. Understand though that it's pulling the mesh so if you want finer detail in that area, you'll have to do a local subdivide. That tutorial is on the web.

Thank you Katana but im not sculpting the woman but the first piece of advice was awesome! It turns out i really wasnt using enough geo!

Here is an updated version what do you guys think? I mean it needs more bashing up but i think its ok? Maybe? I am worried it looks TOO smooth!

[Skamberin]

Three9: Nice work dude, the only thing that bugs me is the eyes, they seem very.. fullbright at the moment. Work on getting the specular and gloss right, maybe make it a little darker so the highlights are more concentrated, also if you make the diffuse darker and the spec just a little brighter it might help. Everything else I can't poke on :P

Also pose-wise, see if you can close the eyes a little bit, even for an alien having them that open looks unnatural.
Just my opinion :) I loved District 9 and it's awesome seeing some game rez stuff for it :D

Mostly finished with this bad boy...maybe..I dunno...

http://dan-art.com/images/brew3.jpg

Liking this a lot. One crit I'd have is that the orange is a bit monochromatic. A bit of desaturated or faded areas would help pull it together. That or a quick fake occlusion lighting pass to make the shapes read against each other visually.

Nice, awesome texture painting. For some reason, I keep thinking of Trojan horse every time I look at it haha.

@Ominione: Man, that pig is pure win! I love it! The tank ang girl are great too, but I specially like the pig. Congrats!

BTW, any tip for a good pic srever? now I'm using DA but would rather find a site dedicated to this, one that hosts it in the same quality as you upload it as?

Is this possible? Have I actually become a good artist?

While I hope you all enjoy this little posed render, I just want to say one thing. I am damn proud of myself :)

oh man that looks ace, would be cool to get a shader on that that looks like slime/shiny also work on the spec more :)

also as mention befor the eyes looke a bit flat.

[[SF]Three9]

ae! you! you're the guy with the D9 environment! what happened with it man? Your stuff was looking great! You better pick it back up D:. Idk if my prawn matches your style or even if you'd want to use him, but you're more than welcome to use my prawn in your scene if you pick it back up

Thanks for the comment man :) I don't know a lot about shaders so idk if I could do that lol, but it would be cool to see.

bang bang low poly.


Looks sweet Jesse. Is this with Xouli or whatever, or 3Point?

Hello there! a little update on some doodling :)

I have some plans for the D9 scene but after i complete my killzone kart :P

but yeah keep working on it buddy looks real nice, i would search online for tutorials on how to get those effects working on the model.

Is that a 3ds max shot or in a game engine?

[IronHawk]

Thanks Matt..

It's the Xoliul shader. I am trying that one out along with 3Point and Marmoset before doing my final layout. =)

[-Em'-]

Learning hard surfance high poly modeling :/
Ha ve to do it very quickly because i only have 2 days to finish it (high + retopo + texture)

haha poop, I love you. Trying so hard to keep it lowpoly, cutting polies out of the face even to keep it low, but you keep the polies for the sausage. Well played.

Goddamnit Ferg, I didn't even notice it at first, but now I can't stop looking...

Whats up with his skull? Looks like there is a second layer of skin over it, something covering up the teeth which would continue going straight; they just seem to...stop. Also normally the 'handle' is orientated the other way, so it can be gripped properly.

[poopinmymouth]

Hypnotizing, eh?

[ENODMI]

I can't unsee that.

[SnowInChina]

how could this linger around so long in here and nobody saw it ?
WHATS WRONG WITH YOU ?

[daphz]

wow ferg, you have very good eyes. I would have never noticed that.

[BTolputt]

wow ferg, you have very good eyes. I would have never noticed that.
Disturbing notion that...

[AlecMoody]

Hello there! a little update on some doodling :)

Are you actually working subtractive from a block? Is it 3dcoat? It seems like zbrush would have a really hard time with that.

[Chai]

Did something a bit different for fun. Self portrait cartoon runner version.

http://www.environmentartist.com/boards_images/runner_004.jpg

I like it man, but the unnatural pose is totally ruining it, the human body isn't straight and it looks like this guy will fall on his back.
If you look a few pages back you can see Duncan posted a cartoon character as well, but it had a really strong pose which really sold it.

man it's awesome , she is awesome ^^

Davision3D love your Evil Knight , you make a game ?

[karatekodden]

Been working on buildings, props and textures sice my last post. Still lots of stuff to do but I think I'm starting to get satisfied with the overall feeling.

@poopinmymouth: I love your work so much :D

Here is my first try with hair in Zbrush. Hope you got some advises for me.

Looking good, but way too heavy on the DOF - the far buildings look to be no farther than 100ft away. Either my eyes suck or the fog is completely transparent :P.

Coming along nicely though.. start a thread up to get more input.

[PenGuin1362]

So first time posting here, minus a bugged post from a while ago, but I've been working on this for a class assignment for a few weeks now and I'm looking for some feedback, on both the high poly model and the render quality. Any advice would be appreciated :)

Wow! Didn't expect so much good feedback! :)
I have a few more poses to demonstrate how flexible the rig is

I just hate how meshes loose volume in extreme poses. I always wanted to make a fighting game character but my rigging skills are insufficient. This rig works for most moves, but there are still plenty of instances where the weighting just does not cut it.

Gonna be making some armor and accessories soon! This is just the base mesh so to say.

[elitewolverine]

Hi everyone, this is my first attempt to make a female torso, and i think my first 'real' attempt to actually make a person per-se. You see im a hard surface modler mainly, ships guns etc, and i wanted to make some armor for fun. One thing led to another and i ended up modeling the torso but no armor yet.

Pre-subdivision form, she is 492 verts

current view is 8200 verts.

all crits are welcome, especially since this is my first try

[felipefrango]

@omnione: Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick, these are awesome! Easily the best low poly stuff I've seen in quite a while. Only flaw is your screencaps are too small, I wish I could see more of your models. :v

[katana]

PenGuin1362 : Excellent Sherman

[Snader]

Yeah we could definitely use some more info/larger shots on how she's made.

[omnione]

Basically she is just a flat shaded low poly model with a hand painted texture. I used the character rigging tools that come with maya 2011 (they are awesome btw.) and I had a look at how blizzard does the UV layout for their WOW chars so I tried to do something similar for my model as it makes it easy to swap textures around and make variations for future characters to come.

Instead of putting together images I thought it would be easier to just capture a quick video of me fiddling around with the model... I am not going to speak cause I hate my voice. Hope this will show what you want to know. :)

AND I also made this micro chicken today to continue the series...

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4928183/micro_chicken.jpg

I know its nothing special, but its meant to be viewed at a distance anyway PLUS both the pig and the chicken fit into the tank like so...

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4928183/chichnntank.jpg

YAY! :D

[billredd]

@omnione - freak'n love this concept

[popngear]

nice job omnione - are they riding in a metal slug tank??

[omnione]

Yeah actually I was inspired quite a bit by metal slug when i made the tank... guess it shows :)

[Maks]

@omnione: thanks for this great video. Your model is really inspiring!

so awesome :poly127:

[Crylar]

Omnione - I would love to see the wiereframe on that chick, post it! :)

[achmedthesnake]

hahaha omnione great work - wouldn't mind seeing the wires and texture? or at least a tri-count and tex res...


poop -hahahah great work, now my eyes are bleeding...can't wait to see your brawl fighter with a phallic surprise :D

[Makkon]

omnione: you need to make a game. I love everything you've made so far.
