What Are You Working On? 2011 Edition!

[BARDLER]

I am learning Maya 2011 and after 3 weeks I made this.
http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/1111/firstrender.jpg
The book, Introducing Maya 2011, pretty much babied me through it. I just need to finish adding the bolts and screws to the panels and its done. I can't wait to post cool stuff like all you guys do :p

[teaandcigarettes]

Finished up the loader more or less for mine and xoliul's brawl entry.

Looks dope Andre, can't wait to see that thing textured and animated. :thumbup:

Only one thing bothers me here; some of these bolts are way too small and would probably bake like crap.


polygunz: Loving it. The ribbon is an awesome touch :poly142:

[MikeB]

Prop for a practice scene I'm working on.

Andre, love that loader. Really nice!

[Sean VanGorder]

Wahlgren - That loader is looking great

[paulsvoboda]

@MikeB - Love the texture! Maybe make those plastic covers just a bit more transparent and either punch up the paint's spec or give it a slight reflection.
@POFFINGTON - great scene you have there. It's coming along nicely!

A statue prop I worked on for a level I'm doing. I still need to fix some issues up and do a cleaner/better render, but here it is:

[krisCrash]

Not much, but;
Can't say I am 100% satisfied with the textures, it's as if there are 3 styles going on in this item. The knobby parts of the hilt are supposed to look like some kitchen knives I have seen, they simply have 'pores' in the metal to add some grip.

hi, I'm learning character modelling

the brief limit is 3000 tris.

it would be awesome if you can suggest me some ways to improve it.

(i've tried to keep it all in quads, hoping to play with it in zbrush)

@ronce: to separate buttocks more, maybe? they don't seem to be separated now, maybe it's just a bad screenshot though.

@ronce: to separate buttocks more, maybe? they don't seem to be separated now, maybe it's just a bad screenshot though.

lol
that's exactly what i did after posting those screen shots. i went in maya and checked her butt crack out.
I also softened the pubic bone line.

thank you

Damn, I'm modeling VW Beetle aswell, haha
Liking it so far, decals/stickers on that beetle are pretty nice. Couch texture definitely need some more love.
Some textures seems to be a little bit too low res, is that on purpose?

no Beetle, that's old Fiat 500, bro ;)

[slave_one]

paulsvoboda, thats a nice prop! makes me curious to see the level!

[Swizzle]

jmiles: Thanks!

jramauri: It is indeed. Oil on canvas. Only about 8x10 inches, so that's why it's kind of in-your-face.

[Mik2121]

I just started to work on my first realistic weapon. It's an Mk. 23 model (USP Socom).
I started working on the suppressor because it was the easiest part and seeing it done will make me keep working when I get stuck somewhere and feel like doing something else :P

Here's a pic of the suppressor and part of the main body.

http://mik2121.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/usp_socom_wip01.png

The shader (Xoliul's shader) is making a couple parts look a bit weird so for the next screenshots I will play around with it so it looks better (the Fresnel Reflections looks a big ugly here).

Been working on this slowly for a bit, trying to update my website. :)

[Davision3D]

have my first useable Kinect Mocap animations in the UDK:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-Qaq_8M_oo
Head and jaw have physics that i baked in Motion Builder and i have made some tweaks to the animations in 3Ds max.
I probably play the heavy walk animation when he starts walking and blend then over to the other animation.

[Hugh]

@ davison reminds me of a cheesy horror movie from the 70s it fits. I really hope someoen is perfecting a mocap kinect technique

[Noia]

I'm makin' a house!

Still messing with the mesh. It's my first try at hand painted textures, but it's been pretty fun!

@Paulsvoboda, damn thats one sexy asset. Can't wait were your going with that. Your scenes are very inspirational.


Little update on my scene. Got some awesome feedback from you all!
Up next is re-doing the red rooftops, I like the color but the actual mesh is lacking.
Also going to try and create a few more trims and vegetation this week. Wish I had more time ^^.
Any feedback on this is offcourse very welcome.

Something like that is what i wanted with the animations! :) I think there is still a lot that can be improved with the whole kinect mocap and im sure it will in the future.

Ok guys here is a quick update, still a bit aways to go to get this thing ready for graduation. I had to bust out this pocket area in a week essentially. Needs tons of love on the chair and couch. Deff a WIP

Thanks guys! More to come.

@paulsvoboda
Thanks man! Your work is a great inspiration to me. That prop is killin it! I want to see that level asap.

@Yano
@Lachtan
Yano is right it is a Fiat 500, with a few modifications to make it match the car in the movie. Lachtan some of my textures might be a bit low res, the couch and chair are both sharing the same 1024 as well as the blankets. The car is on a 1024x2048 map and still looks lowres. I think it is because of the mipmaping in Unreal. But thank you for pointing it out I hope to make those fixes soon.

[JasonLavoie]

Blaizer, could you post up your wireframe for that? I'm getting into shapes like those and its kicking my ass, and any wireframes would help a boat load.

lol, I was just about to complain about the chromatic abberation in your image. Then I googled "anaglyph" :)
very nais.


I have some concepts, character renders and environment stuff to post soon, I'm looking forward to some scathing and demoralising criticisms, it is much needed to motivate me.

A couple of questions, can anyone help?

when building environments with modularity in mind, is it generally better to build, then split into components, or to model components and then build?

also, when using Xref geometry in 3ds max, is there a way to add decals to this instanced geometry, WITHOUT having to create a new material for each instance? because that would be a bitch...

[eY3lEs5]

Ferg - You are a wizard.

benji - Post! If you don't have one, I suggest a Digital Sketchbook thread here in PC so when you pimp out in this thread, people can write C&C in your sketchbook.

"when building environments with modularity in mind, is it generally better to build, then split into components, or to model components and then build?"

In regards to modular environments, you will probably be doing a little of both. Depends on how you plan your scene. Figure out which props can share parts, let alone be broken apart to use elements of the prop throughout the environment. It's all in the planning I think :)

[Hito]

Looking Good dude!
Noice work on the interior, you seem to have the shapes down (from what I can tell)
My only crits are on the topology, just a few spots could be a bit more refined.

Most important thing you need to make sure your doing is keeping everything in quads, its really important for highpoly stuff.

Looks nice brandon! I think you spec needs a little adjustment - for example at the base the rust seems to have the same spec as the paint around it. Maybe a gloss map?

Just finished baking this and got myself started on the textures. It's part of a larger scene I've been working on, so wip thread due soon! edit: here! (http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=83146)

You seem to have some crimping around the rear where the body meets the arches. You might need to refine the looping around that area to make it a bit neater. Also on the top of the car where the front support strut comes into it, looks like there is a slight dip too.

1st post here, was advised to come along by scotthomer. Im working on a KTM SX-F (MotoX bike) at the moment. Hoping to have a lot more done by the end of the week to show you guys.

[benji]

there is some badass work happening here!

Lachtan, may I ask for a brief overview of the techniques you are using for modelling cars in hi poly? do you separate each major component? do you use NURB surfaces?
Your Beetle is looking beautiful (although as others have mentioned, some minor pinching caused by topology issues). I'm also modelling a Beetle right now but I'm inexperienced at this kind of thing so I keep getting stuck...

Dado, that is sick, reminds me of a dream I had the other night about a rattle snake that doesn't bend, and only travels in straight lines. it can also fly, but only directly upwards.

Wildmax, very nice, how do you create that smoke in PS? brushes?
some edges on the face look a little too hard to me but maybe that's the style you're going for.

Daphz, totally badass. Is this some kind of futuristic plague doctor? only crit is that some of the folds in the fabric don't look like they are responding right

Mladen, that is glorious... so much personality. the materials are amazing, I love the textureing on the robe, and the marble looks great. Only one crit: I think the wrists and chin appear too soft - they would look better with a bit of prominent bone I think, to match the guy's gaunt face and bony fingers.

eY3lEs5, the textures look good although perhaps lacking in contrast. also the lighting could use some work I think, there are some shadows lacking!

Growgor, that is badass, strong silhouette!

Thrillkill, it looks good but the face is not very feminine, but perhaps you want to avoid uber femininity? depending on this, maybe the figure could use some slight adjustments too.
Also some of the folds look unrealistic; the upper arm fabric looks too silken and loose I think. And the folds at the bottom of the trousers look too tight and crisp.
one more thing, the boot on the left looks small and flattened and skinny from this angle

Well. My GPU has exploded and I'm just about to order a new PC. So until it arrives i'm computerless. Well at least a computer I can work on anyway.

So I decided to actually draw something...with a real pencil!!! wow...Its been about 2 years. So where better to start than with my favourite study subject, Clint. I worked from an image in a Clint Eastwood book. I like the image because Clint looks quite sullen, which is different to his usual snake eyes/curled lip/bad ass look. But I cant find it online to compare. I'll keep searching.

Hey mang
This is actually my first car model, but it doesn't really show up, hehe.
Anyway, I'm using standard subdivision modeling, I'm using it for a long time and I'm used to it.
I'm keeping unmovable parts together, all doors are separated. You could also separate front/rear fenders I think it might help your topo.

Man, that´s a kickass version of that sword!
I kind of attepmted to do it not so long ago, but I still have it unfinished... and seeing yours, I´ll probably make another different one.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9250233/ork_sword.jpg

Here´s my version, but I like your´s way more than the version I did. Awesome job mate!

Thanks, man! I really like yours to be honest! The metal bits (the ones that are red in the concept) really give it an awesome, stylized look! I like it alot! I also like the way you did the grip/handle! I assume you made one cloth ring, duplicated it, and hid the repetition?

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, right? :) Your version has definitely given much to consider!

Thanks again! You should keep working on that one, and we can compare results! :)

[Dylan Brady]

@ Lachtan: looking sick bro. I can tell the area at the bottom of the A pillar still needs some work and I think you could tighten up the front middle part of the hood where the trim comes together.

other than that the surfaces are looking clean man :P Good luck going foreward!

Just got Ryan kingsliens new book "Sculpting realistic game characters"
Expect shots of my sad attempt at his process later tonight.
Edit:
heres my drunk attempt at matching the prelminary block out as outlined by kingsliens book.
Something inside me hates taking my basemesh up to Sub-d 7 and starting to sculpt but I have faith it will work out.
next, I draw anatomy on it!

[Neox]

usually, the shoulders are wide enough to allow arm swinging without touching the hips :)
of course there are extremes with wider hips or more narrow shoulders but i think it couldn't hurt to move the shoulders further outwards

[Blaizer]

Blaizer, could you post up your wireframe for that? I'm getting into shapes like those and its kicking my ass, and any wireframes would help a boat load.

No problem Jason, here's the full wire

Thanks for the kind comments! I´m modelling an entire ork character, this was supposed to be in his hand actually.
The grip is actually a single sculpted piece, made from a zsphere link, no separate pieces there.
I think I´ll make the character and then finish this one, your version certainly gave me a lot of ideas, and I think I´ll remake some sections based on your version.

Thanks, and keep rockin´ man!

[gibson543]

what mike you don't like big bootie bitches?

[The_Kozmonaut]

She does have a huge torso width wise, not just hips but ribcage and stomach too and it looks a bit strange. I really like the style of the other one though.

Looks great! Really nice Diffuse, the grafitti on the side is very believable. I don't think you are using your spec map (if you are even using one) to it's full potential. But with that said, it still is looking great.

Latest updated on my Maschinen Krieger project, started taking components into zbrush to added tooling marks and general distress (unly added some 2 minute welds so far), still working out what I want to do for the pilot bust, quickly blocked that out from a new base mesh I made, I was referencing Ziggy from The Wire but in the tanker helm he looks good with a nice mo.

[Orb]

trying to finish an old scene (eat 3d contest i started months ago) i made all the retopo already, but i dont know yet if i texture it or if i just make a little high poly scene, cuz i want to try making an environment on udk.

anyway here a render of it using a matcap i made 2 years ago, but with better render settings now with zbrush 4. You can use it if you want! its.....White! :D

[felipefrango]

@Orb: I still don't quite get the workflow on environment art. For the corner piece, would it all be one single texture? How would you break up the textures and materials on this scene?

[k0c0s]

Hey everybody!
This is my first post here at polycount.
I've been watching the great works here but never posted anything.
So it's time to post.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17153647/monkwaywo.jpg
I'm almost done working on the shaders now.
I'm not quite happy with the skin. Some advice on that would be nice.
Thanks

[Orb]

@Orb: I still don't quite get the workflow on environment art. For the corner piece, would it all be one single texture? How would you break up the textures and materials on this scene?
the specs on this challenge was 1x4096 maximum for the scene (wich is nicely huge :D), it can be one 4096 for everything or multiple maps of 512, 1024, 2048 with diferent shaders...since we dont go over 4096 for all the scene. but well i just want to finish the high poly right now, as if it were a mock.

k0c0s: freaking awsome! shading sculpt and texturing look really sexy. I would say maybe the red emissive look a bit overdone in the scratches, but the metal and skin look so sweet.

[Sean VanGorder]

FAT_CAP - Looking awesome man, I'm a huge fan of your character work.

Orb - Your environment stuff is always fantastic. That sculpt came out really great, and thanks for the matcap :)

k0c0s - That's sick, you should post more often, haha. Nice work.

[k0c0s]

Orb- Thanks! You're right I will work on the emissive some more.
SeanEG - Thanks, will post more often here from now on:)
gmax5 - I used Zbrush for highpoly and texturing, max and topogun for retopo and low res and it's rendered in marmoset engine.

Welcome to polycount, nice visual story stelling : Prison Religion, closemindedness, conservatism/isolation.
Good work mate, love art with stories and your doing a FANTASTIC job at it.
About the skin, i don't think I am qualified or experienced enough to give any advice on skin textures, but your concept is very thoughtfull, I am working on similar concepts in secrecy, mind If I add you to my friendlist?

Hey folks! First post here. Figured I'd finally stop lurking and get some much needed feedback.

This is an old UDK scene I created a few months ago, but decided to go back recently and play around with it. It ended up becoming a playground for testing all sorts of things out. :)

Cheers Massbot :)

Yeah they are tattoos on the arms. They're meant to be a play on those lacy burlesque gloves...

I'm still playing with the patterns used on them - might need to make them look more explicitly "lacy"

[DKK]

Maybe if you make it look like they were actually a tattoo of a glove? like tattoo the end of the glove on, just end it with a dark line around the arm.

[SaferDan]

MephistonX - That is looking really nice! I have seen the concept many a time, its hard to forget and i think your peice looks awesome. The textures are really nice and do you have some sort of shader going on there?

Karera - that is beautiful! A couple of things though firstly the bit where you push the button, it doesnt seem to be attached to anything? and the texture for each of the colour displays seem a bit out of scale? Does that make sense? It is very pretty though!

[Ged]

nice traffic lights karera, I like the amount of colour in those.

Awesome style, eyes look a little wonky, they see to point outwards a bit.

thanks :) not sure what you mean, her eyes have a bit of an unnatural slant in some pics in the comic so I tried to stick to that, doesnt translate so well to 3d or maybe its cause the eyes arent spheres they are just sculpted in as this was just a few hours of fun :)

Did a little sculpt when I thought I might have time to enter the Brawl, but I realized school was getting in the way. So I threw it into Topogun to learn the ropes and decided to go a little further with it today. I'm probably not going to do the full character unless I suddenly find myself with a ton of time on my hands.

Wow guys! You make everything I do look like crap! (and make me feel like crap...j/k)



Well, I used the female reference photos, and conglomerated them together and drew over them to make a female model sheet. I intentionally kept it loose, and also asymmetrical, so there can be a lot of freedom still. Maybe it can be useful to someone else also? Just posting it here. :)

I'm good at ending up as the last post on the page. :D

[B Fatz]

Looking really great so far Seth, the anatomy is very well defined. The only crit I have is that it feels like he is hunching his shoulders in the back view, I think it's because the curves on the sides of his back are a little too exagerated, but I might be wrong about this.

SaferDan - Thank you for your kind words! The box where u push the button is basically just hanging there with screws that's not visible, and the button is just a blank surface that is pressure sensitive.
I agree that the texture is a bit off. I'll scale it down, thanks

Ged - Thanks man, although it's a bit too saturated as it is now.

Here's a newer version though:

The orc Uru
He will be getting some hair to :p
Though I want to find a good design for some shield straps so he can actually keep it on his back when not using it and not have it floating in the air as it is now, same would go for his two handed sword

So many awesome works here! :D Really diging Keens Hot dog tank-thingy... :)

I am working on a Battlefield Heroes inspired version of myself but I am stuck in the face... I suck at topology thought! Cant seem to get myself around to make it look good... :( Any suggestions or ideas? I was thinking that I might have to retopologize this model so I get a better topology for it... :/

Concept & Ortho:

And the model in question:

http://i.imgur.com/onUVz.jpg

Ive been using Silo 3D 2.2 since I downloaded the trial and decided to use this sketch to learn how to use Silo.

You guys know any good face topology workflow tuts out there you would recomend? Should I just retopologize this later?

Well, thats it! Kick ass job everyone! Keep em comming! :D

Damn, that Cat Makkon did looks great! Love the colors and the cats facial expression... I can totally see the Not-a-single-fuck-has-been-given look that cats have! :P

I really like that, Harry! That would look amazing in UDK with some lights, fog, etc.

Hey fabio brasilien! Really nice anatomy study! I checked out your website and lots of cool stuff there! Sempre eh bom conhecer outros brasileiros nos forums! ;)

Does anyone know how big those Battlefield characters should be? I mean tri-count wise... I got 4112 on mine as it is right now after applying some edge loops to the face...

One thing is bugging me though and its not a biggy. But the bicycle frame part of it doesn't work for me. The frame design seems wrong and the angle of the seat post looks odd. Obviously I realise theres no need for pedals but this is what I mean

[benji]

Keen, that is beautiful! I know you are not finished yet, but I think I will mention anyway: make sure to get the style looking consistent! I love the clean cell shaded look, almost like a technical drawing, but the ragged dirty canopy doesn't fit in with this!
Also on that subject: the ragged edges of the canopy do not look realistic like that, try to think about where they would tear in real life - you probably wouldn't see consistent tearing along the whole edge like that

BigErn, awesome! And it is very interesting to me because I am working on a very similar urban Chinese environment based around Kowloon city. I would love it if you could post a screenshot of the modular elements you're using and wireframes, because I am a total noob at this kind of thing!
Oh and also, assuming you are using instanced geometry for each modular element - how do you apply decals (like graffiti) onto only one of these instances, without creating a new material for each instance? It is bugging me....

Thanks!

Really like the painted style for this guy but I gotta say that you should check your anatomy because some muscles seem off... Specially in the thighs and the back, are you thinking about applying some normal Map to it later? Keep it up man... :)

[Mr.Wednesday]

Hey viv, I love that portrait you made there! Is that someone you know? Got a really good vibe from it and love the facial expression... I don't know, just makes me happy! :)

Hi there, Textures.. hmm I`ll calculate.. for this whole building its..

512 x 512 (7)
512 x 256 (3)
1024 x 512 (1)
1024 x 1024 (2)

This is just diffuse textures. All have spec maps, not all have normal maps as I`m going for more of a GTA feel, more diffuse than heavy on the normals.

Hope to have more to post soon!
