Ive been playing too much stacking recently on ps3 and fell in love with it so thought I would blend the styles a lil http://www.gameartisans.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif For those who havent played it, its a brilliant little adventure game about a family of Russian Dolls. timelapse video here (http://vimeo.com/20023810)

Looks awesome. I'd like to see some more hardsurface-ish stuff on the suit though to match with the helmet. I was expecting a mech-like suit, but I like where you're taking it so far.

A test with a custom mesh and animation in the udk.
I suck, maybe I must try to continue with props than with characters... :poly142:

[Daven]

sexy SeanyEG - yeah, I know. Just sit tight you, you'll get your pr0ns when I say so. In the mean time just eat some shtovetop to keep you occupied.

I was thinking this was more of an under suit to a larger piece. I'm going to do armor next. The initial feel was to design an easy fit flight suit to go along with the helmet, but I'll make some armor I guess lol

But yeah, armor is on the way.

Crazy - If you want to start sculpting be my guest :)

Froyok - That shader is pretty freaking cool. As far as the animation goes for your character I think you just need to put more time into it. It's not a bad start, considering you got it working lol. That's the hard part. What are you using as far as a rig?

[MalloryW]

Great stuff here as usual!

Thanks for the crits last time Jesse Moody, I'll probably go back and optimize the death god more over the summer when I have time.

I just tested the rigging under maya for the first time (with a full custom skeleton).

Cleaned some mocap after dinner tonight :poly136: (not super perfect done yet, the end is still kinda mocappy and wobbly)
Got some free mocap from http://www.bvhsamples.animazoo.com , which is the only free mocap website I've found which has data that I can actually work with.
The character (and joints and skinning) are from a Call of Duty 4 (or 3?) sdk I've got laying around in my sdk folder.

Got about 2-3 more mocaps I wanna clean on him. And then use it to show of some of dem mad mocap skillz, in an upcoming reel (LFW!:poly142:).

Waddaya guys think, the knees clip into the ladder right now..



fuk it, its mocap
fuk it, its game
dont fuk it, fix it because I'm anal


also got bored half way through and threw that little level together and pimped it out with some shadowzzz:poly141:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIwnShXD-hg



anyone got a site with some free mocap data for me?
I mean, the site I used for this, has great data. but theres not lots of it, and what they have is kinda boring... I've never seen a more bored soldier climbing a ladder on the rooftops of Iraq (or whatever country they are invading this month:\)

The tower looks nice, the rocks need a bit of work. Dude, please check your image sizes before posting!

Here is something I'm working on at the moment. Still refining shapes before retopoing.

[Snader]

Rapunzles Tower C&C Appreciated :)
If you copy-paste round roofs 2 meter apart, at least rotate and mirror them.

The model looks decent (but can't really say without wires) but the textures can be improved a lot. For instance you've got seams everywhere and the materials do not look like what they should be, it all looks like plastic. Aside from that, I think you should go for a handpainted/cartoony look instead of photosourced - the tower has rather unrealistic shapes.

[brandoom]

lol Jay, a render 1/2 that size would suffice. Try spinning the roof of the small room 180 to help hide the UV seem.

Here is an update. I am currently focusing my attention on the leg. The arms and tail have yet to be dealt with so don't bother critiquing those yet. I mainly want crits on the head and leg so far.

I'd do the metal rims as separate meshes willy. That way you avoid extruding cuts you've made on the main barrel, which is really gonna add to your polycount, and also then you can rims with far more segments, which would give you a far smoother look.

i felt like building something busy to test that awesome unity shader editor by tim "stramit" cooper:

http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/56180-Strumpy-Shader-Editor-3.3a-Full-Unity-3.2-support-bug-fixes

the shader is something a bit different. it does the uncharted fringy transition thing via vertex alpha ! vertex-color colors the object (i also baked ao into the verts) but not in the damaged areas there it only darkens the objects (chipped away paint) ! but the really funny part is i use the second uv set to control how much self illumination/cubemap/fresnel/specular i want to have on a vertex! giving me control over a vast arrey of looks all in the same object/drawcall. and also allowing for insane re-usability of one and the same material drastically improving framerate in my scenes

if there is any kind of interest i can release the shader and the graph network ...

http://www.amauriilustra.com.br/images/Web/Japinha_05b.jpg

[duncan]

@Rogue One: I really dig the style of your alien guy. I don't really see any issues but I would suggest that you could chunk up some of the non-organic stuff. Things like the tube from the back of his helmet. In the concept it is thick and uneven, but in the mesh it is thin and a bit un-interesting. The same could be said about his cool little jetpack. If you thicken up a few things like that I think you will be happier with the over all look and vibe. He is such a cool little character, I am keen to see some more please.

I think the proportions are pretty good, but if you are really trying to nail the style, here are some ideas...

The feet flare out and have more curve to them.
The hoses are thicker and also taper.
The chest is missing.
And the top of the head also has a bit more concave curve.
The thing that looks like a flashlight (jet engine?) should be a bit bigger.
The teeth are pointed now in LP, but would smooth out closer to shape.

Overall though, it's a very fun character and I am looking forward to the finish.

[Dudeman95]

Don't use a decolayer, it only places objects on terrain verticies leaving really large gaps between static meshes. If you're using newer UDK builds that don't have foliage then I suggest you to use the static mesh tool. With it you can just hold alt + s and click on terrain (or on anything) and it'll place the static mesh you have selected in content browser and randomly rotate/scale it according to the values you put in the static mesh tool window.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4121855/scene-preview2.jpg

hey man, looking cool. one way to get your grass to light a little more naturally is to manually adjust its normals. im no expert, and I dont know if there's a better standard, but what seems to work is dragging the grass plane's bottom normals so that they're facing straight up. For the upper plane's normals, have them facing roughly 45 degrees perpendicular to the way they're facing. What this does is make the grass receive the same kind of lighting that your terrain will be receiving.

Also, UDK does *something* (not sure what) to your asset's normals when you import them with the standard .ASE format. UDK will only use your exact normals if you import with the .FBX format, and the Explicit Normals tickbox checked when you're importing the model.

GCMP, I like the organic shapes you have on that. Do you have any wire frames?

You know what Mike, personally, I'd like to see more props and environment stuff. Not that I don't enjoy concept art and character art :poly121:

[Dudeman95]

Dudeman95: It's looking good, but if you didn't point it out, I'm not sure I would have noticed the differences! That might be a sign that you're almost done. :\

Ya I plan on getting the head completely done tonight. I'm just wanting maximum quality out of this sculpt so that it matches the quality of some of the best dinosaur sculpts out there.

Deadpool wip:

crits always welcome:)

[KoldIt]

The deadpool looks cool but I have to say that you might have over exaggerated the definition of the muscels(you might have been going for that in that case it looks awesome) Also to me it kinda looks like his hands are a bit small.

[onetru]

yeah i was going for a bit of an over exaggerated look with the muscles to give it that comic book hero look. i could try to relax the muscles, make them blend more to see now it looks. The hands could definitely use more love =P

[KoldIt]

I can really see how it would look kinda cool if you add some cartoony textures to it:)

[Cap Hotkill]

I would Beef him up, right now he looks a bit small, and apart from Softening the muscles, make wrinkles on the cloth. ;)

[LMP]

I agree with KoldIt, the hands are tiny, the hand from wrist to tip of middle finger should be at least as long as half the forearm

definetly the first one. try to reduce the noisyness in the textures.

[BeatKitano]

It looks cool except for the mossy cracks in the rocks which look really overdone and unatural and the noise on the plane. It looks more like rock than rusted metal if you ask me. But the back enviro and lighting is really nice.

I like the first one better, and also beat upp that guy alitlle.:poly122:

Looks cool, I'd keep a couple things in mind though, the grates on the ceiling feel a little too low poly, the bust light columns look nice. That trim pattern doesn't quite feel natural yet, it's a little too perfect, I'd try to break up the perfection of it a little.

@ illusion, nice sculpt, love the small details. :)

@ Jackwhat, great as usual, look forward to seeing more.

@ richwderby, getting there man! :) I'd experiment with some more shadows in your textures, also, look into baking ambient occlusion to break up the flatness.

@ popeye9, scene is coming along nicely! I agree with the comment that the grating looks a bit low poly.

Ok so I decided to get cracking on a new character and picked up from a kinda crappy concept I did a while back...

http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/4817/koalanaranwip.jpg

Haven't made a normal mapped character in a while so I thought I'd be a bit more realistic but stylized with this fella. (still a lot to do and haven't really touched the face much.) :)


...Also did this very very bad quick bust from a cube just to get back into zBrush (hadn't used it for like 2 months!)

er, hope you realize your slide grooves are completely wrong, looking at your own ref... they don't curve.

viv, this is great!
a lot of great painting around here lately.
makes me kinda shy about posting my stuff.)

Never done no concepting in my life. But kinda realized the need for it. So here goes:

http://artisaverb.info/Concepts/JerusalemStreet.jpg

I could produce a pic of such quality in about 6 hours and getting faster. How do you think guys. could this be considered as an actual concept in a work environment? and how fast do you really have to produce them?

C&C greatly welcome! I gotta improve in that thing. And there's a lot of room for improvement.

Deceiver- I would definitely change the texture on the plane. It is reading exactly like the rocks that it is sitting on. Break it away from the ground and change the color of the rocks if you plan on keeping the plane texture color the same. It is also to noisy right now.

Dont care so much about the scale more about how it look. :poly121:

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

[Growgor]

hey S_ource (http://www.polycount.com/forum/member.php?u=31344)
I like number 2 the best, and then number 4.
1 and 3 has too "sharp" in the welding.

[Raider]

2 is the most realistic

[Daniël.C]

I agree number 2 seems the most realistic, I think the others are to small sharp and evenly spaced.

working on the aston martin rapide highpoly, still lots of stuff to add/adjust. Wheels and rims are placeholder.

http://i700.photobucket.com/albums/ww5/TBR427/venturi_channels.png

I gave up on a small diffuser at the back of a flat floor and hit the town with a pair of colossal venturi tunnels. The idea is, at speed, it creates a vacuum underneath the back of the car, creating downforce.

It should be able to take a volume of high-pressure air roughly the size (volume) of a PSP at the front and expand that into a very low-pressure area the size (volume) of an original XBOX at the back.

Or, it will, once I smooth the damn thing.

EDIT: placeholder exhaust pipes for now, it's really the only place I could lump all four of them together.

If you copy-paste round roofs 2 meter apart, at least rotate and mirror them.

The model looks decent (but can't really say without wires) but the textures can be improved a lot. For instance you've got seams everywhere and the materials do not look like what they should be, it all looks like plastic. Aside from that, I think you should go for a handpainted/cartoony look instead of photosourced - the tower has rather unrealistic shapes.

appreciate the feed back :)

the roofs were modelled separately and its the normal map thats giving the seem :s but the hand painted texturing sounds like a nice idea il give it a shot, thanks :) appreciate it :)

er, hope you realize your slide grooves are completely wrong, looking at your own ref... they don't curve.

Snarky gun-nerd crits are the best.

Awesome space marine dude! I tried to model my own some weeks ago, but my
concept skills are awful and my armor lacks any interesting form. So I let it be.

Good work.


I decided then to do some scopes I can use for future guns

I actually hadn't looked at slipgate's work in quite a while. I guess good style just tends to sink in unconsciously. Shit, now I don't want to come off like i'm stealing or anything. Back to the drawing board!

[lloyd]

@S_ource (http://www.polycount.com/forum/member.php?u=31344) 4, you get ones like this on smaller joints but 2 on others. looks good!


@cox (http://www.polycount.com/forum/member.php?u=28739) what are you rendering the zbrush model in? MR with DoF?

[Mike Yevin]

ani that game is amazing :P

im running a pos laptop thats almost 4 years old and i had no troubles getting quite a few little fellas floating around. i love your minimalist style :thumbup:

[Shaffer]

It might be just me but the lower legs look a tad too short, making him look shorter in general. Or maybe the head is slightly too big but something is definitely off.

Yeah I was kind of thinking that, I knew something was off. I adjusted the legs and knees a bit and it seems to be a lot better, I'll post up a new version in a few days.

Thanks

Small base texture update. It's far from perfect or finished but this little bit of color still makes it look more interesting. I'm going to finish up my weight painting before finishing the texturing.

As a side note, when is the best time to do ambient occlusion? Before I finish the textures or after?

[Cap Hotkill]

well, people likes to use the AO to give a better look to their textures. so before ;)

[gmax5]

Some great stuff in this thread, getting inspired and motivated every time I visit :)

A head I have been working on, sculpted i Zbrush, PS for textures, rendered in Maya with Mental Ray, misss fast skin shader for the skin, maya fur for the hair and beard.

I need more practice on lightning and rendering.

It's coming along...I think the 4 stacked exhausts should cough up a nice flame when racing. Airbox/engine cover is the only thing left to model/unwrap, huzzah!

@Froyok: thanks man :D, I like the final touch your drawing has, it reminds me of HR Giger works!

S_ource, how did you do that? i saw an old tut on how to do these but yours look SO much better and clean. Is it just from 2 attached cylinders? or an extruding cylinder? I'd love to know!!



number 2 is the best btw.

[jimmypopali]

Uh, I'm assuming it was two separate cylinders, joined to look like the T section. Exported. Ramped the subdivisions up and sculpted the weld detail in just with different strength brushes.

If that's what you meant.
