What Are You Working On? 2011 Edition!

[woogity]

that's looking sick fatcap! only crit at a glance is that the guard on the sword appears to be facing the wrong direction.

[BC3D]

Oh man, I loved the dig! Such a good adventure game. Keep it up, the room is looking good.

You nailed it Fat Cap. Damn that is awesome.

[CandyStripes05]

goodness, i MUST learn automotive modelling. street scenes need them, and im not the best at it lol

nice work there :)

@ yodude87: thank you : )

@ FAT_CAP: looks so sweet ! the only thing that stands out to me as being off would be the drips - look kinda thick

[crazyfool]

great job Sam :) have to agree with woog about the sword

a Z-fart from me :) plan on turning him into one of my favourite ninty characters :)

[MM]

nice work Sam. the face looks great although a tiny bit too pale compared to the other skin areas. also the necklace/gold coins might work out better if you model them out instead of baking them to the collar area. over all great portfolio piece.

whoa, mindblowing work man! :D two questions:

1) whats the tex sizes?

2) how the hell do you get your screenshots so clean? hahah been trying that with no success, mthe most i got was the one i just posted here :\

keep on it man, awesome job!

[Alberto Rdrgz]

Thanks a lot man,

1. The textures sizes vary from 512 to 1024. A lot of shared UVs.

2. I just use the windows 7 snipping tool real quick and easy.

I want to go to there... Very sharp work man, that's looking fantastic!


Finished up baking the normals & AO. It's got a few minor flaws but I'm happy with the results overall, especially for my first major bake. I'll probably be ZBrushing a few bits tomorrow and then rebaking those down. Here's the low+norm+ao in 3dsmax using the 3Point shader w/quality norms

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2355669/bot7.jpg

(ignore the missing rear axle :D)

The textures were baked at 2048 and are posted as such in that screengrab above. Remi had asked to see a larger image with lower res nromals, so I dropped it down to 1024 and it still holds up well.

[FAT_CAP]

Thanks for the comments and positivity guys :)

@Woogity and Crazyfool - Oh wow - I never even realised that swords should face the opposite direction - seems kind of counter intuitive to me, but my sword fighting days are long behind me. The pose I have in mind needs the sword like this so Imight leave it for the time being to see how the pose holds up.

@MM - Yeah - looking at it now the face does look slightly paler than the rest - probably because of the higher/ blue tine on the spec I guess - I'll try and remedy that. Modelling the coins was brought up and was my first intentions TBH - I'll have a look at how much space I on the texture sheet and see how well my motivation holds up!

[brandoom]

Coming along nicely Mr. Stubbles.

Perhaps give a small bevel to those main edges on the box? They look quite sharp.

Nice prop though. :D

Thanks :)
There is a bevel around the main edge, but it had to be small due to the nature of the mesh. You can see some lighter shading around actual spec shine in the image below, which are the edges of the bevel. If the spec is higher value and viewed from a distance, it does get a bit crisp, but there's not much I can do about that now. Widening the chamfer will cause some edge clipping towards the bottom of the mesh.

[thatanimator]

http://thatanimator.com/dump/kreel_udkwip.jpg


got my 30 second-ish cutscene into udk :)
the udk thread in tech talk helped me with buggy cameras, since then I found the desaturate scene filters and what not, fairly next-gen-filter-ish lol.

the dof is messing with me though,
any idea of how to get those white balls off of his head?
I think they're caused by the dof rather than bloom (dont have any as far as I know), if I turn the dof off, the disappear .. but I want dat dof!


gonna go back to the animation a bit later, just wanted to get it ingame now :poly124:
kinda wanna do a background as well.. the wall right there is stock udk stuff!

hey guys. thanks heaps for the comments. far as time goes would usually get the core idea out in about a day for most. then maybe another to fiddle with bits. all still heavily wipped of course. wouldn't dare try to pretend they're anything more than just concept sketches. this dude for example ( repost ) was somewhat of a speedy. an afternoon and evening job :

Hmm, collar bones still look wrong. *shrug* There's a harshness or severity to your normals that's making his skin read less like flesh and more like leather or rock or something. I'd suggest dialing things back and maybe taking another look at the hair alpha.

[nordahl154]

Made a quick boulder. I love rocks c:
However, I made it using a new method and am pretty proud!

I sculpted a base mesh from 3ds Max in ZBrush, crunched it down, saved it out to a low poly (180 tris), unwrapped it in Max, took it into ZBrush and subdivided to a high poly level, then painted a texture (sloppily lol) over it, rendered both the diffuse and normal maps from ZBrush, made a spec in Photoshop, and finally rendered it in Marmoset. Not a very good presentation of the normal and spec maps, but oh well.

I think you could brighten the image quite a bit, right now its looking a bit overcast but the sky is a bright blue with no clouds. also define your key light a bit more so there is more contrast between hightlights and shadow. right now both sides of the house are pretty much the same value and it doesn't show the form as well as it could.

also, the fence and house have pretty much the same type of texture, having so much brick is adding a bit of visual noise, you could try having the house be a chipped plaster to have some smooth surfaces to contrast the bricks.

I would put a cool cyan/blue ambient light in there to tint your shadows, right now the case shadows are pretty black. the main thing right now would to realy brighten the shit outta the image.maybe something like this?:

[Jeremy-S]

Hboybowen, yeah the second I read your comment, it hit how incredibly shiny everything is. :) His orangey-brassy bits are supposed to be super shiny, but I don't think the marble pillars, and EVERYTHING else is :D. Good call, will fix.

Achmed, yeah, I know what you mean. Watching Battle Chasers die a terrible forgotten death was sad. Partly because of that, I've had a love-hate relationship with Joe's work for a while, but since Darksiders came out, I've been all about the love :D As far as Garrison, I might make him a little later, but for now I'm gonna make another monster/baddy in a Joe style. (there's TOTALLY a reason I'm doing this too) Will start a thread for that project. Of course, this will all be after I really finish Brass Demur.

Hey fellas,

tacit math: love that chopper dude. It's awesome to see you using that technique for different subjects.

A couple more thingies from me. These are some practice environment/storytelling shots from my Race project. I watched a documentary which had a segment about Gelada monkeys stealing crops from villages in Ethiopia. I thought they were so cool/evil-looking that I had to have a sequence in a Ta Prohm-like temple where the hero's attacked by EVIL MONKEYS. I really want to do a stylised sculpt of one of these guys too!

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y95/oishiiniku/gelada_temple_shots.jpg

I also worked a bit more on the leaf-blowin' heavy. I need to get some better poses going on and tidy up some sculpting too:

[Mr.Wednesday]

@Nick Carver: that leaf blower guy looks great man! :) are you texturing him too?

@Ryswick: I have to agree with m4dcow, I also thought it was snow at first glance.

I saw yesterday some concepts of a very talented guy (http://mpuncekar.blogspot.com/2011/06/goomba-sotd-137.html) and I decided I would take one and make it in 3D as an exercise... It is still WIP but I am planning on being done in the next hour or so with the sculpt. Then its up to retopo, UV, Texturing and all the shebang we all do and love! :) Of course any crits and comments are more than welcome! Cheers everyone!

I think you could brighten the image quite a bit, right now its looking a bit overcast but the sky is a bright blue with no clouds. also define your key light a bit more so there is more contrast between hightlights and shadow. right now both sides of the house are pretty much the same value and it doesn't show the form as well as it could.

also, the fence and house have pretty much the same type of texture, having so much brick is adding a bit of visual noise, you could try having the house be a chipped plaster to have some smooth surfaces to contrast the bricks.

I would put a cool cyan/blue ambient light in there to tint your shadows, right now the case shadows are pretty black. the main thing right now would to realy brighten the shit outta the image.maybe something like this?:


@PixelMasher This look better?

Still need to work on the fence and a couple of pieces to get them to accept Vertex blending.
Suggestions welcome

I've made some changes to the torso and added legs with ruff musculature. Using Ostrich feet as a guideline.

@Fewes: dang, those are some sexy rocks! Is this using DX11 tesselation or something? Do the rocks and caves share only the materials or it's the same mesh as well?

http://www.geekologie.com/2011/07/05/nightmare-1.jpg

Thanks! :) let me give credit to the concept artist: it's a very talented guy named Mike Puncekar. (http://mpuncekar.blogspot.com/2011/06/goomba-sotd-137.html) he did several creepy looking Mario enemies. Check them out!

Right now I am retopologizing this little guy. I was thinking maybe 2000 tris should do the trick? 3000 maybe? I don't know, any suggestions would be most welcome! :poly136: then I'll uv map, bake maps and paint a diffuse and spec.

And I have to agree with felipefrango, those are some sexy rocks Fewes! :)

Jesus Christ Fewes, those are some damn nice formations. How did you sculpt them? Something like the Mudbox feature displacement to sculpt or something? I'm wondering if there's something like that in ZBrush...

[Racer445]

started work on this again... blocked out all the metal materials today. i've been staring at this too long so i'll have another go at them in the morning.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1725586/mpeg7/jerk/8.jpg

[Mr.Wednesday]

Hey Throttlekitty, check your proportions cause they seem to be a bit off. If you look at a young antelope you will see that some proportions like the nose and body shape are a bit off.

http://www.perlgurl.org/archives/images/IMG_3839_kSh5.JPG

As for antelope ref pics, maybe this will help? (http://animals.timduru.org/dirlist/antelope/) It has lots of pics of various antelopes. I havent really gone through all of them but it is something at least! :)

As for me, I have started to retopologize my Goomba sculpt. I ran it first through Decimation master so I could load a mid rez mesh into Silo without my poor old Laptop crying and crashing. Poor old thing... I love it still though! :P Anyway, here is the pic so far:

It's actually easy as pie. I didn't sculpt at all, and it's made from a single tileable reusable texture. Here's a tutorial I made since people seemed interested.

Bit of a page stretch there, sorry..

[future-fiction]

jaythurm - those leaves look amazing, so realistic!
fat_cap - your textures are immense, love this. Not sure if its just my screen, but the shadows look a bit black in places?

Sorry for huge image. Texture nearly done, any crits at this stage would be cool. Next gonna make some quick props and skin.

[Razorb]

ooooo! really appreciate the write up Fewes! :D awesome stuff!

[benji]

Fewes, you sir are a badass! thanks for that tutorial!

futurefiction, the skin has a very prominent red glow, is that your lighting/rendering setup or did you bake in the bounced light? it's a bit overpowering as it is.

[Pangahas]

@future-fiction- nice stuff but there are a couple of things that I noticed though. One is that the strap sticks out on the left shoulder area on the back view and also the hair.should be an easy fix..And also it might be the lighting setup but I can't figure out where the violet/purple light from her hair is coming from(maybe front top area?) given that on the back view the same color of light only shows beneath her hood at the back of her head.Same as what benji said the red glow is a bit overpowering, a bluish or a similar cooler tone should balance things out, not too harsh on the eyes.I know your going stylized for this character but something about the thumb that just looks off for me, maybe the fact that it tapers toward the tip but for me its as if its swollen or something maybe you could bulge up the tip(the area where the nail is) a little..just a suggestion though but great work nonetheless.

[acapulco]

Thats what I've been working on. Its a preconcept to a concept I will do soon. Gonna do some Gameart in August, looking forward to that! So, more stuff on that univers to come!

@future-fiction: I love the piece and I dont really have a problem with the thumb as Pangahas said but I do think the boots get a bit too thin on the back? It looks like it is quite too much slimmer on the back.

Rapante - Holy shit,now thats low poly sexyness.GOD DZAMN,what you texture that in?

[nordahl154]

That's one of the best low poly models I've ever seen Rapante! I'd like to see more of a falloff though on the slate color like you did on the pale orange color.

I know this isn't a personal thread but a quick little update: got my UVs down! I shouldn't have to worry about seams and following the falloff from pristine concrete to damaged rough crap because I'll be texturing the base diffuse in ZBrush, then taking it into Photoshop for the decals.

Would 1166 triangles be an acceptable amount? Am I pushing it? *shrug*

[n88tr]

can i ask why you don't bake in maya?
also HOW do you bake in another program?

[ENODMI]

I bake in Maya sometimes using tranfer maps, but since Im doing my Ao bake with the Cuda engine in Xnormal, I just do the Normal maps with it too. As far as baking in another program, Its the basically the same except you have to export the objects out you want to bake and import them into Xnormal. There's a thread on Xnormal in the Technical Talk with probably everything you ever wanted to know http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=41776

Fewes, as far as I know there is a modifier in Max that crunches polygons while preserving UVs. I think MultiRes will fuck your mesh up but ProOptimizer should do the trick. Either that or the other way around. :P

This is the final lowpoly+highAO+norms (had some issues previously and redid about 50% of the UV work).
Going to take EQ's tip and bake a lowpoly AO to combine for broader shadows, then work on the diffuse/spec/gloss maps.

@ENODMI & Scott - those are frakken rad, great work!

Now I think you should try to focus the viewer's eye by developing a point of interest. You can try to direct the viewer with atmospheric perspective or depth of field, something to keep us from wandering into the background and the harsh line of the horizon.

[Noren]

@BelgianBoolean:
That painting is excellent! :)
Did you do that, too?

As for the 3d, it looks almost a bit to polished, straight, high-tech, detailed right now. I don't know if you want to enhance on the concept or go a bit of a different route with it or (most likely) plan to add the wear and grime later on. But most of that detail is not needed or even deviates from the concept and maybe weakens its impact, imho.

[BelgianBoolean]

Hey Noren! Unfortunately, I did not do the painting.

I agree with the polished bit. A lot of it will get wear and tear in zbrush and texturing. I'm definitely taking the concept a few steps forward for the model's sake, and I'm looking to add some more functionality. As for the small detail, it's a curse. I get really wrapped up in that stuff. But beyond that, I'm trying to test my modeling skills a bit. That said, all of your points are really valid. Would you mind keeping up with my thread? Would love to keep getting feedback.

Speed sculpt that I made yesterday.

[wake]

I'm still workin on the rhino-- I'll be posting more of it later-- in the mean time here's an early walking animation for a character in an iOS game I'm working on. It's been a while since I've done any 2d animation so it's taking a bit to get back in the swing of things, but boy is this fun.

For now the hip rotation is only in on the first half of the animation (you can see how the belt-loops only cycle for part of it), and the armswings need to be smoothed out and articulated, but i'll be getting to that. The only other thing is that I think I need to give the head a little bounce as well-- right now it's looking stiff.

Thanks a lot guys! I used a great number of matcaps and made a 3 point lighting system with a basic material on the model. Then combined everything in photoshop.

[MartinH]

Nice to see Pior posting some stuff again, very cool!

@ ani please explain


I bet it's one of the PS brushes, all the diffuse texture was made using it.
No crazy shaders, just pure imagination here.

[Sectaurs]

Pior - love love it

Continuing my Jousting Mech

again, influenced by Tacit Math's presentation style.

Spot on - it's all diffuse texture (except for the shadow which I just drew in). Here's the texture for anyone who's interested!

whats the deal with everyone always making floor and wall models?

Those would be the components that make up many indoor environments XD

[Hugh]

Thanks guys!

So much good stuff past couple pages. Ani I really dig that style a lot.

Finished another tower. Cannon Tower! Levels 1 - 3. I'll make a thread for the project when I finish the next tower series. For sure this time.

[BrontoThunder]

Loving those towers, Skeptical Nate - reminds me of stuff I've seen from Orcs Must Die.

[PixelMasher]

been watching a ton of breaking bad and just watched the hitcher again (the remake) and got inspired to work on a desert style dusty road. made a road shader in udk that lets me blend in a ton of different things and threw in some quick terrain with a random texture on it and then did this paintover to flesh out my idea for the scene.

when its all said and done it should hopefully look something like this. excuse the wonky perspective/proportions on most shit and its a bit blurry, but should give the gist of what I want to achieve.

Cool towers bro.

[d1ver]

Cool idea, PixelMasher! Would love to follow a wip thread. Good luck with that

[sltrOlsson]

PixelMasher, i demand that you get cracking on that RIGHT AWAY! Great idea!

Hey, Polycount! My first post here. Currently working on my SC2 fan-art - an infested marine next-gen. Planning to give myself a 13k tris limit and use 2048^2 textures. Here's the sculpt, still very WIP:http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34952891/InfestedTerranScrn1.jpg
