~ 1000 tris room for optimization if needed ;)

katzeimsack: it looks grat, I like your textures.

9skulls: cool, hope cool games come up from that.

ok. I felt like making colossi from shadow of the colossus in the same style I did wander. Just making this one got me kinda tired so, I don't know if I'll make others...
so here it is, the first colossus from the game:

I got to make some nice poses of wander on top of the creature, so maybe i'll try animating later.

lean, i'm your fan! very stylish your remake in 3 colours.

i started to use gimp so i wanted to share my very first painted texture ..

[/IMG]
I know it's very simple, but yea, it's cool at least for my eyes

Fail.
So here it is. (I think)

i was having trouble to post my image, so moderators you can delete my two post above.
Here is the image.

Here is a Ork Choppa axe that I made yesterday. I set myself the task of creating the whole asset over the space of a day so that I could see where I am in terms of modelling speed. Hopefully I should be able to get more of these short studies out before committing to a big project, They are really fun



The texture holds up quite well when reduced down to 128 aswell.



[EDIT - The concept art was found on Warhammer Online]

Looks like your presentation is incorrect. I'm seeing 256², 256³, 512² and then 128². Why are you not including the UV/tex in the presentation?

katzeimsack - I'm not fond of the green painted in the jeans holes. Why not use alpha?

Seyhk - you can push that texture much, much farther.

lean - the color count is per sprite, or in this case, per texture. Similar to the way old games used several sprites to compose 1 character (sorta like this), you could use several texture planes. So for instance you could lose the white on the club and swap it for a medium grey which would be of more use at the 'ball' of the club.

Besides, you mentioned it yourself, there were actually 4 colors per sprite. I'not seeing you use any transparency, so why not use all 4 colors?

gungriffon - fruit fucker?

Delko - what's with the inconsistent texel size?

Mr_Drayton - you could partially fix your alpha issues by working with denser sheets. This would also save you a few polies and some overdraw (does overdraw even apply to alpha test?).

I'm not sure what this is in reference to, but... okay I guess?
playing around with posing and other stuff.

Yes, i guess i need more pratice time and understand how to use some tools in gimp.
But if you have any tips, please share.

It's a character from Penny Arcade. Introduced in this comic: http://penny-arcade.com/comic/2002/02/11


edit:
Seyhk - I don't like Gimp one bit, so I can't help you there. But I will say this: less lines, more volume shading.

Looks cool, very Wipeout/FZero-ish. Mock-up, or is there a playable version?

Edit:
I threw together a quick (and very rough) example using path constraints and a track made from a spline.

I guess I need to start somewhere. Inspired by some of the environment artists on here making a few characters, thought I'd give it a shot myself. I still need to play around with the topology, get rid of some wasted polys here and there. I'll try and clean him up and get him with some base colours on by tomorrow.

EDIT: Quick 'n Dirty edit after I saw some silly looking proportions.

@snader
I honestly dont remember why, i think it had to do with the way the we had the ground tiles texturing.

@Snader - Thanks, I completely missed that! I have made sure that the texture sizes are in the right order, also I have added the texture to the main presentation image.

I know about that, megaman games used the composite techinque. but i wanted to keep it as low as possible. about the four colours, I used three as the forth would be used for transparency if it was a sprite.. And there is some transparency, not the main fact, but I just wanted to keep the three colour classic look. about the white in the club. thanks for noting it, I didn't. it seems that i forgot to unrwap that

A bit of a doodle turned mesh. Low poly is at 1,000 tris

(and I just realised I meant to pos that in the other WAYWO thread )

Should have been a 3DS game, but every publisher we talked to never wanted that kind of game, so it's still a mockup...

Like your spline demo! It makes me remember good 'ol times I spent doing that kind of racetracks for that project...

Alpha on Android and IOS is really expensive

made robocop as a nostalgia tribute to the movie

Just a little enemy for a game in progress

Some work for an upcoming iOS game. Will be using Unity. We're not exactly sure on the main gameplay focus. Could be endless mode or handmade levels.

I learned the spline thing working on a project where I had to make arrows follow gas pipelines to represent directional flow. Kind of mundane, but there was a lot of on and off animations and with multiple pipe pathways that had to match voice-over.
