What Are You Working On? 2011 Edition!

[Millenia]

Been working on lots of Fallout: NV stuff lately..

[richithekiller]

Happy new year all!

East: Very nice!

I'm about ready to call this finished and move onto rigging. ~11K tris, 7 materials. Yes, the hands could be optimised, but there just aren't enough hours in the day. :) Hope you like!

[MM]

very nice modeling.

the diffuse on the collar bone / chest area looks a bit too dull or desaturated but other wise this looks great.

[Spatz]

oh wow richithekiller that is really fine work :thumbup: very nice!

[Ferg]

awesome richi! Looks straight out of heavy rain

[Delerium]

Absolutely amazing richithekiller ! The hair doesn't match the rest of the model though, it looks "plastic".

[NBLM]

+1 for a bit of colour on her collar bone, right now it looks waxy like a madame tussauds figure. But the rest is awesome.


Maybe in distant future I can do great characters too, but for now here
is a blocky satellite I am working on:

I'm in love, I want to animate this

[ScoobyDoofus]

richithekiller: She's lovely! Very well done. Very realistic. The eyes in particular are reading quite well. I would love to see those shots at even higher res/closer or maybe a turn around just to see the spec play on the skin & eyes.

As for crits, I'll just echo that I feel the spec on the hair is letting the piece down a little. Some more shine or even anisitropic shading might go a long way to fixing that.
Also it looks like you've got some color profile-mismatch action going on or something as the skin terminator is shifting a little green, but that's just a photoshop/jpeg/pimping problem not anything to do really with your art. *edit: I just looked at it in Chrome, instead of FireFox and it looks much better.

[DKK]

Rich, did you model in the wetness around where the eyes meet the lids?

[timwiese]

Awesome work richithekiller! I just can't stop looking at it!

[daphz]

richi... I give up!
just kidding
those shots are going straight in my inspiration folder

[Phones]

Absolutely awesome, Rich! I love it!

[ghost-d]

Perfection, Rich! The face really reminds me one girl living in my town. Looks just like her.

I just started back up working on the textures for Ragnar. Still very wip

Wow, some really great work here.

Richi - great model man. Seriously, awesome.

Josh - I wish I followed that series. Regardless, nice work man!

I'm still slowly working away on the textures for this..

[rooski]

Been working on making a melee weapon for a source mod my friend is doing. I am having trouble with bones and the weapon being in the player's hand. Iff anyone here knows how to properly rig weapon models for source send me a PM, i've had rotten luck finding tutorials covering bones and source engine modeling.

[XenoKratios]

What a nice bake man, I can never get quality stuff like that... gave up... ahah

Actually going to try again with another model this coming week.

[ScoobyDoofus]

Moof: Looks like something outta Doom3 (in a good way)!

To me tho the way you've presented it is killing it a little. The stroke + gradient background aren't supporting your art, they're taking away. Try just showing it to us with a darker/ diffuse on a grey background. I like to use the Polycount grey(40,40,40), so my stuff "floats" on the forum.

[StefanH]

@richithekiller

the is the very best thing i have seen in a long time. Absolutely spectacular!
I second a closeup of the face! I am especially interested in how you handled the eyes.

lovely job man.

[XenoKratios]

Had a chance to work on this tonight, got some cool ideas, I might finish it tomorrow and then work on a low poly/uw/texture(normal is the big one here).

This is why I come to polycount... To say thats 11k tris is insane, really, really insane. It goes to show you really don't need to throw more and more polygons at a model when all you need to do is improve your workflow of the low poly and render to texture.

Amazing.

[seforin]

http://seforin.com/misc/gl_teplin_SideFace_02.jpeg

finally getting around to some mesh placement..jeeze I almost forgot about the actual "build 3D" part :p

[StefanH]

looks interesting. what is it seforin? some kind of alien planet?

[sampson]

cute little painting/sketch i did :D - 1 1/2 hours?
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2529964/2D/sketch2_wip3.jpg

[Miche]

richithekiller (http://www.polycount.com/forum/member.php?u=22614): fabulous work!

[n88tr]

sampson, did you use the same brush for everything but at diff sizes and opacity? the brush looks like wedge

[brandoom]

Looks good sampson. Keep pushing it! :)

[EVIL]

woah richi, your killing me! that looks so good! and only 11k. damn! I would love to see more renders of her, some with shadowing on for example, and a bit higher rez.

[karera]

Trying to finish this model i left a couple a months ago.
Black areas are basically done. Got some work left on the rest.

I know there might be some errors if you compare the model against the real deal. I mixed up my references in an early stage, but i'm not gonna make it more realistic or true to the original. Sorry.

lots of great work up here. I finally made my low poly of killer croc, and just burned my normals and diffuse. my texture is pretty much just polypaint and AO. i'll go in and fix it up in 3dcoat and photoshop. this is a screen grab from max using the 3point shader.

[JasonLavoie]

That is fricken fantastic spitty, any chance we can get a glimpse of the texture flats? Someone needs to post / animate this mofo!

[Sean VanGorder]

Spitty - After I finally managed to close my jaw, I do have one minor crit. I think you might be able to push the texture on the pants a little further. I feel like it needs a little more...texture to it. At the moment it looks a little too solid blue.

Something like this comes to mind

Finally got it into UDK. Still plenty of work to be done. Here is what I have at the moment.

http://www.brycehouska.com/game_artist/Mine/Mine_1.jpg

My goal with this project is to achieve "atmosphere." Something my older pieces are all missing. That and to push story. So here is where I am hoping to take this one.

Well I got about all the effects I want in the scene now all setup in kismet.

All I need to do is build a modular set of buildings and then take unreals modularity tools for a test drive and layout that bigo city in the background.

Then I can actually do a lighting + lightmass pass on this bad boy since right now its all just standard lights just tossed around with no real settings.

And then I need to setup depth of field / bloom on a timer for when the moon explodes to focus on a key point. need to look more in to that one how to isolate meshes to "not" get DOF settings on it...

Well here's a quick screen ;p

[nightFlarer]

Wow, tons of awesome stuff goin' on here.

Here's what I'm working on now.

[Mathorne]

I guess this is a little bit out of the context of this forum, but I made a small music video slash short film for the band Sons of Perdition. It's mainly just hand drawing, Photoshop and some compositing in Fusion with a bit of 3D here and there. My time was limited so not everything is where I wanted it to be, but I'm happy enough with it as it is.

Hope you enjoy, feel free to criticize the Hell out of it. I'm curios if you even get what's going on.

[SaferDan]

Arac, what you have is beautiful so far :)

[katana]

Rayph : Your color range for the BG and the characters are to close together They are already pretty desaturated, so either punch up the colors on the figures or desaturate the BG a bit more. its a very energergitic piece, maybe the fast moving blur pieces need
more focues and burn particle?

[richithekiller]

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I was getting a bit sick of looking at her, so I really appreciate the crits from fresh eyes. After all the encouraging comments, I might push it a bit more. :) As requested, a higher res grab of the face...

http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5289/5343869282_629b2b692a_b.jpg

MM, NBLM: I didn't even notice there was anything wrong with the collar bone area, but now that you mention it, I can really see it!
Delerium, ScoobyDoofus: Yeah I hate hair. I'm using an anisotropic shader, but I'm going to go back to it and see what I can do.
DKK: yes! Its just a little strip of transparent polys with a high gloss (red surface). I also copied an idea I saw on Kodde's website (Felix Waubert de Puiseau's work) to put a surface under the upper eyelid to darken down that area of the eyeball (yellow surface).

http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5125/5343261447_9905477449_b.jpg

crazyfool: Forgot to mention before - props to Kosta Gialiakis and Leo Covarrubias who has kindly modified his skin shader just for me!
Evil, odium: you're right, it is insane. I was looking at the face count. OOPS! Triangles is more like 21k! Sorry! :)
SniperGen: When I've rigged it up I might do a full presentation in a thread on here or my website or something.

richi, thanks for that pic! will come in handy in the future.

[S_ource]

Need some critic on this medieval banner im working on. I have only sculpted on the fabric yet so how does the wrinkles look? (I could also add that im beginner in zbrush) :poly108:

http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq219/Sourcemapper/medievalfabricbannersculptrender.jpg

[moof]

EQ> Think I just need to do a cleaner final bake. Move some stuff around, bake at a higher res, better UV.s etc.
Might be some smoothing issues.

If I'm correct, an averaged cage is just a cage the hugs the model completely, with a similar smoothing group. UV's unconnected an obtuse angels?

Feel like I'm catching up on my cage making skills tbh. Last job never did anything like 'proper' cage baking :P .

[S_ource]

Made this after luke´s comment i think i did overdo the wrinkles, Zwebbie i did not see your comment untill after i made this so i will might do one more subtle with less big folds and more small ones from seames like you suggested, thanks for comment.:poly142:

have you considered using a cloth physics simulation? Here is an example of similar cloth I did with a straight physics simulation. I know other people also like to start with physics and the sculpt details on top.

[Swizzle]

S_ource, you should only be getting V-shaped folds like that if the cloth is supported just at the corners. Since it has supports the entire length of the top, it should have more wavy, vertical folds that get looser towards the bottom.

[deadpixl]

TWO TRIGGERS!!!!!!

[gauss]

TIRED OF ONLY HAVING A SINGLE GUN IN YOUR GUN?


and yes. the trigger pull on the forward trigger (which is for the enfield revolver component) would be shit and sorry about your sight picture, bro. but the challenge for me was to mate two guns while still giving proper clearance for internals and operations (see Nixon's "Slammer" in Darrow and Miller's Hard Boiled)--it was too much fun to do something this dumb.

2) i was looking through the very nice polycount wiki and took a gander at the mount & blade modular piece article, and i ask the question, how did she (i think?) get the textures exactly right? and what i mean by that is she used tillable textures but they had those seam darker bits down the almost right side, but yet they are perfectly positioned on the poly, so shouldnt there be that little bit left over :S
anyone care to explain or yell at me for not explaining properly ;)

3) anyone have any ideas on how to textures this beast, all on one map or tile texture, mixed? any help would be great

so i still have a little ways to go with this beast, still more windows and another chunk of building at the back to add, also opinions on the very top piece with the 3 windows, anyone think it still looks boring, i think i might add another window at the back of the model for the top, add the bell soon aswell :thumbup:



finally, thoughts, complains?

Hello all!

This is what I am currently working on. It only has a basic color coat and I still have some details like spikes, materials and hair I need to add, but I wanted to get some feedback on the color. I was also considering goin with a blue/gray tint on the front head of the character. What do you all think? Any ideas on the type of material to add to the tenticles? :poly124:

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn! Nice work man! How much farther you planing on pushing the texture? If anything they might could use a tad more color variation maybe darker tones on those plates? Wraps turned out nice, definitely breaks it up. Those nipples busting out fuckin kill me. Looking killer bro..... waa waaaaaaa

A lot better, try not to over do it, give it some rest, study more and save this as separate file so when you try new stuff it won't get destroyed and you can always go back.

i think you could pull back on the details- a little less is more appoach. Also watch where your tension points flow from and to-I did a slight PO to illustrate where I would start with this. Hope I'm helping.

scudz you always take the cake for absurd proportions. Lovin it.

(although the transition from giant collar to tiny head is a touch jarring. There's probably some design tweak you can make to make the head seem a bit more attached)

[ScudzAlmighty]

hahaha! Just for you Gir, and because I happen to have a worm head readily available :)

Aesir: I probably went a little to far with it, but that's the approx proportions (which change dramatically from panel to panel) from the comic (Umbrella Academy) It's a Gorilla body that his head has been grafted onto.

Everything came together in a nice awesome epic hardcore harmony with the worm and the "new" piece will crumble mountains under it's awesomeness.

I've been working on this character for a few days. Skinned it so I could pull some clothes off the geometry and make future skinning the clothes easier on myself, and just couldn't sleep without getting some animation on there.

Note, his gait is lopsided because I intend for his right side to be more heavily armored than the left, and his right hand will be holding a weapon.

I like using UVLayout from Headus (you can get their demo version for 30 days). For a brief tutorial on how to use it, I'd head here: http://cg.tutsplus.com/tutorials/autodesk-3ds-max/create-a-realistic-looking-mailbox-using-3ds-max-and-uv-layout-day-2/ .

Mr Bear. The scene feels alot like something Italian. But then what are all these tudor houses doing in there?

[eY3lEs5]

aNarchy: I can see some areas that can be optimized in regards to tri count. Don't be afraid to break the building into seperate pieces and work modularly, like you did with the flying butresses. That alone could save you on tri's.
In regards to Unwrapping, I've never used UVLayout but it looks like a valuable tool. One of my school buds made a good tutorial utilizing quick planar/stitch/relax methods in Max. You get some accurate results, and it's not that hard once you get it (just a little time consuming, but that's unwrapping for you). Here are the tut links:

depends on what your looking for

Downtown Long Beach and LA has some nice stuff as does Manhattan of course check out the Fenwick shopping center in England as well all good stuff for modular building design ideas.

cgtextures.com has a bunch of head-on pictures of buildings.

googleing something like "building front view" will get u a bunch of stuff.
You can pretty much get anything straight with the transform tool in Photshop though.

Started work on a cobblestone texture, it's going to be part of a larger scene I'm working on. I nearly killed my computer with the 7 million polys worth of stones in Maya. Be glad to get some feedback on this.

My first impression is that there is a bit of a moire pattern, also, I feel the biggest issue at the moment is the mirroring in the middle it produces a very straight linear feeling, that I don't feel works in a cobblestone texture, here a few quick examples of cobblestone roads in a similar type of pattern to what you made.

Also, some dirt/moss/stuff, in the cracks will definitely be a good idea.

Here's where I'm at with building a tower, it's the hero prop for a medieval/fantasy square, very loosely inspired the Clock Town South from Majora's mask. It's pretty much ready for the primary texturing phase, although I still need to model and bake the door. I won't be texturing it farther than the bakes until after I finish modeling and UV'n the rest of the square. It's all blocked out though.

The tower all together is 14,174 Triangles.

Still a long ways to go, just blocking everything.

CJE: I think ever portfolio needs a good Ninja Turtle. You're off to a good start and I love that concept! Did you paint that? I cant quite decipher that logo-tag in the corner. If not, you should credit the original artist.

Thanks Scooby. It's not my concept no, I fully intend to credit the original artist, I just forgot to bookmark the CGhub page, so I'm trying to find it :)

That happens to me way too often. Even right now I have a nice piece of concept art I would like to work on, but forgot the artist. I've done many a CGHub searches (which inevitably lead to finding more awesome art).

Anyway, that turtle looks good so far. Looking forward to seeing it progress. :)

marq4porsche (http://www.polycount.com/forum/member.php?u=21223), looking nice.

if I could suggest some things.
your stones are placed very flat, and they're all the same height.
maybe break that up a bit with uneven normals?

also, they're all the same colour, while both your reference pictures have multicoloured stones. be careful not to make the difference in colour too stroing, or it'll stand out a lot on the repeat.

and the space between the tiles is too light, I'm not sure if it's the colour, or just the spec tho.
