What's your process like for painting the skin on Haggar?

Wester: came out badass man!

[Rens]

I made the matcap for this not too long ago, it will either look nice or totaly fail, so it might not work on things like you hoped. Dig into the material settings and push some values around, you can get nice variations.

had to wait the day, so i started this old electric car from around 1900. still missing stuff, im not after a 1:1 copy, to lazy for that.

maybe ill do a lowpoly too.

First application of stuff i learnt here: modular generic Alien swarm scifi environments!
(thread soon™)

simple test to check for seams and export/import process from hammer to max to hammer. Besides some minor alien-blood splatter decal issues, i'm content with this so far. No visible seams, but i did forget to tile the section while baking resulting in the odd lighting on the 3rd pic.

labmonkey - that is awesome man! I assume you'll be making a low poly?

choco - those rocks are stunning! I don't suppose you could share your work flow? pretty please? :)

biofrost - good blockout but your door isn't wide enough which makes your curved dent in your door to round and your lights at the top to thin!but yeah widening it out should fix all that!

Checko - awesome high poly stuff man! Were you working reference or just off the top of your head?

Still working on my Brink robot. Trying to find a decent way of rendering it out. This didn't work!

Cryengine <3 can you render him with more light on?

[Checko]

Saferdan - Thanks man. Just working off my head for this one. Looking forward to seeing your bot progress btw.

Biofrost - I agree with Saferdan. If you do widen the door i would also offset the center circle. It will add more visual interest and it looks offset in your reference. BTW the concept I believe is by Paul Richards. This guy is Hype! I worked from a concept of his to create an autopsy table i made for my folio. this was the result!http://ryanpacheco.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/autopsyportfolioimage01.jpg

I can't say I disagree with you, and that's actually what it looked like at one point. But in the end I decided to really push it to get a style that was more visually interesting to me.

Joopson - It's not that hard to make a tiling texture. In photoshop: Filter > Other > Offset and set the amount to half your texture size. Then paint out the seam.

Thanks for all the kind words!

[SaferDan]

Blitz - Cheers man :)

Checko - Just off the top of your head? That's awesome man!

SaferDan - I appreciate for your candor. I mulled over the color for sometime. It started in the blues but I wasn't happy with it, tried greens. It just kinda ended up in the creams and greys. I would love to see another creative take on the texture. What colors would you have used?

Blues could have been awesome! I guess really I would have just made the colours a lot brighter and cleaner? You know what I mean? I get a very Brink/Mirrors edge feel from it so I would have maybe had that cream as quite a bright white and that black you have running around the top of the body just saturate it a bit more.Then maybe an orange strip running around the top at the rim.To go with the orange light underneath And maybe use that orange to pick out some of the other details like the round things underneath the main body and have the orange strip on the light at the top as well! You should keep the silver bits too but maybe saturate that silver a bit.

I don't know I might be completely wrong but that's what I'd do! Maybe I have just been playing too much Brink!

Some eyecandy, since the screengrabs were boring

Nice design so far. My functional brain is kicking in. Even though this is a fictional vehicle and how it works really doesn't matter. I think it needs forward thrust as well as downward. Heres what I mean. Just a thought.

Whoa, late reply :P
You inspired me to rework my spec map heaps (youknow, instead of doing my uni assignment that's due in 2 weeks, with still heaps of work to go :P )

You approached it very differently to how I did, the way I saw it it is intended to be modular, here's my horrible horrible paintover (excuse the roughness, just did it for myself at the start):
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11964902/Work/SDArtTest/arttest_concept03_paintover.jpg

Basically, all the bits that are the same colour, I made the same geometry, and sharing the same UV space, so you get an overall higher texel density. Also allows you to do funky things like this:

Hey mystichobo (http://www.polycount.com/forum/member.php?u=32933),

the only thing that differs from my version is that I split up the big container in the middle into a front and a side part. The rest is really the same. If you send me a message I'll send you (or anyone else who is interested) the model + psd.

[Neox]

as it will take quite a while until we are able to update our portfolio with new production images we decided to produce some non NDA footage, to show our fields of service and to work further into the cryengine, thanks to efgeni (blitz i guess you have seen his croc) we have a bit of experience in that field but it would be good to have more of us beeing able to use the engine - i believe.

So here we have Frenja, a viking girl on her daily hunt with Hugur her eagle owl.
It took quite some time to research and develop all the elements of clothing and while it may not appear overly viking, all the elements are, as far as we can say. I guess we would need to crawl more books to be entirely sure.
i think we will make her fit to the sheep i did a while back and move both into the cryengine. If that doesn't work out i guess we just going to use Marmoset or UDK to present the final asset ^^
Now lets just see if we can push this through before our current production is over :D

Now lets just see if we can push this through before our current production is over :D


I really want to know what you guys are doing and what this whole airborn studio thing is :P

Awesome concept! I dont intend to sound like some anal knowitall here but from what i can gather in terms of historical accuracy is this: Armour finds from the viking era are extremely rare and from what i can gather there hasnt been a single find of leather armor like this anywere in scandinavia from the time period. Still looks fairly convincing to me however. If you want 100% historical accuracy i would ditch the armour both because all armour was so rare but it was most likely never worn by women. Looking forward to the finished model!

Oh its all right, we of course intended her to wear mans clothing, as a simple womens dress made of linen would be rather boring. We're not after 100% historical and overall realism, making her a believable fantasy character to suit our portfolio is the main goa, otherwise we would have to drop this kind of eagle owl as well ;)

Ae. Yoou want to know what we are doing in general or what we are doing right now? Right now we just finished our first production Star Trek - Infinite Space and are currently working on Sacred 3 where the team has grown from 4 to 9 freelancers. Working mostly on graphical assets starting from concepts, going over to 3d characters to 3d env, which is mostly props, destructibles, weapons etc.
Overall what we do is joining our forces under the registered trademark i own to be able to get the bigger chunks of works as we would be able to get as individual contractors. The goal would be a core team with a network of skilled and experienced freelancers around to back us up and make us able to deliver larger productvolumes, the other goal would be to push our own productions further, which needs budget and as most of us are no fans of owing money to someone we want to fund it independently on our own by doing what we do best.

Just as a suggestion, you should make small images which link to your big images... instead of just resizing them through code. This way they don't take so long to load, and it'll save you some bandwidth. :)

[Nick Carver]

hey nick these look really nice, would love to see a breakdown of how you painted the ice pillars


keep up the awesome work :)

Cheers! For those arches, and pretty much anything where I'm defining a strong silhouette, I tend to paint the shape's base colour with 100% opacity in order to create a mask. Then I create a new layer, ctrl+left click on the silhouette layer and then start to paint actual tone and colour variations while still keeping the original shape nice and clean. I'll also often group all the layers for a particular element together and then chisel the silhouette a bit more using a mask layer applied to the group.

I've learnt that it's really useful to try and keep all your elements as separate as possible in order to keep the image reading well as a whole and in order to give yourself the flexibility to change composition/palette/value groupings easily. I used to paint a lot of studies on pretty much a single layer, which is fine for something like that, but not so useful when working from imagination where it's much more likely you will want to alter elements as you go. So yeah, keep those elements separate and use masks as much as you need to.

[Medestruit]

Contra Awesomenes! :D

Thanks, I've been busy with some unfortunately not-so-fun art stuff lately(photo retouching and product design stuff for the upcoming photography season) so I haven't had a whole lot of time to do personal stuff lately(or even commissioned stuff for that matter) so these 2 have been placed on the back-burner for a while. I hack away at them when I have the free time.


Bottom one's Contra. I'm assuming the top's Double Dragon?

Yup. I've been in an old-school 8-bit phase lately, wanting to put my own spin on them in greater detail. Really fun projects to work on, and I'd like to eventually piece them all together in a poster/print of some sort.

It would be nice to see you change up the composition slightly-- maybe drop the dutch angle and go full-length or something.

@Scudz: Nothing much to say really. :) I just took a layer for each element (skin, hair, eyebrows), painted on them with locked transparency until it looked right and be done with it.
The hardest part was finding the right color balance I guess.
I like the proportions on your guy, but scale down the mouth man; it's pretty huge.

@Slaught: Haha, awesome! I ought to get rid of the butterflying near the seams and the warpaint near his mouth looks odd, but you know; meh. Next one will be better. :) Did you have issues mapping the hair? I painted that a bit unorthodox imho.

@benji: wow. Thanks dude. In fact this part is horrible in the first version. I´ve tried to fix that.

There are some great areas in this painting (the form on the right leg feels really solid) and I think if you work on the anatomy/lighting on the right arm then you'll have a really good piece. I'd tone down the lighting on that arm to push it back in space and also adjust the proportions/orientation as well. The harshness of the shadow that the creature is casting makes that deltoid look really small as well, so maybe lighten that shadow a little?

Here is a cross post of my thread (http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1403268#post1403268). I just saw the critiques, I got there as I was on vacation and forgot to check back if I got any comments so I am taking those in consideration and I will go back to the high poly and add some more wrinkles and details where needed :) Thanks everybody.

This is a Mayan pyramid I created for a class this past Spring. I would appreciate any feedback you guys can give. And if anyone can help me out...why are the leaves not appearing on my foliage when I render? thanks.

Had more time today and I couldn ´t start another one with all this gaps in the Hero painting:

@NickCarver: thanks (again) for the support Mr. Nick. I´ve tried to don't stress too much with the edges and remember to use more shapes (dark masses of forms -> lighting slowly with color). Could manage some points of your feedback, and I appreciate your time to write them.

awesome likeness Hazardous, new face is perfect! Easily my favorite FF character with Quina being close in 2nd :)

However i feel that something is a bit off, i just can't put my finger on what it is..
Any ideas?

For my 'little' project. Going from Concept to finish! Nothing baked yet, no Diffuse/Spec Textures yet. 50% grey + normal does its job for now. Many roots and vines and little plants still missing. Hope Y'all like it!

Looking pretty cool Tastyrice, couple of things though:
I'd take the white from his beard and use it to push the spec on the swords, it doesn't add to your pallete and will make the swords pop more.
Also on the attack moves, it would be nice to have a slightly brighter colour on the motion blur of the sword, again, you could use the beard pallete for this.
Awesome animation on them btw.

Trying to figure out this UDK business.
Using a couple of UT textures, but it's all very WIP at the moment.

Awesome ivars. I love direction you took with texturing. It lets lighting do it's job and helps define forms in a pleasing way.

Nice. I agree with gilesruscoe about the spec on the sword.

Also. This animation. Looks kinda odd when the shield is brought forward but it has a flat edge at the front. I think you've tried to make it look as if its moving back around the body to the other side. This would be a side on view and the centre part of the shield would be raised. Atm the shield looks like it cuts in half for a frame. Hope thats clear. If not i'll do a paintover.

Also, if that's the defense animation shouldnt he pivot back a little to brace himself for impact?

The art in this thread never ceases to amaze me! Its been a while since I posted anything here on PC. tryin to get m'self a job as a graphic designer. so I've been workin on new stuff for my portfolio other than what I did in school.
Here's my latest one, began with a nifty render using a super spray emitter in max, with cubes as particles, some fiddlan in the mat editor and a very wide angle on a standard max camera, Scanline renderer of course!
