made a new head to try and properly figure out this fiber/hair stuff



and preview rendered:

A poopy skull. Modeled in 3DCoat and rendered in Modo.

I've been picking at this pic for years now, and every time I open it I add an hours work and change it up, then close it for another few months. :/

I hope you saved the progress, it's time for a timeline.

Come to think of it, that's an awesome idea for a personal project. Start an image. Wait two months, change it. Rinse, repeat, do a timeline in the end.

UDK, I originally wanted to go with CE3 but it seems like you have to jump through a few more hoops to get models from Maya into CE3 so I decided to stick with what I know for this scene.

Playing around with UDK...

Nice Tesselation going on there...looking really cool.

Snefer - That tesselation is gnarly. I'm loving your Alien scene
dfacto - That concept has some potential. Clean up some of the outline and your shadows and see how it fits. I feel like you're missing a lot of potential in your color palette as well. Don't be afraid to splash in some saturation.
biofrost - Wow, that's spot on with the concept. Amazing work.

Awesome concepts Suburbbum! Makes me think of a sci-fi MMO, although I'm not sure why they'd be using swords and shields in a sci-fi universe. Maybe guns were never invented in their universe and they just advanced medieval weapons for thousands of years?

Started as a lips study.... ended up as a strange doodle haha.

Genius! Haha.

But yea, awesome concepts!

loving those concepts suburbbum. look forward to their 3Dings

Been home sick so I figured: hey lets make trees. sick - trees, makes perfect sense. Been doing some materials and also started to try some shapes. not too happy with the overall feel of the tree so far. all very WIP.

Beauty shot with no lights, flat shader, diffuse only:



Video turntable with fancy stuff, lights and specular map.

UDK, says it right there in his signature.

suburbbum - awesome concept, I like the futuristic feel of such an old weapon.

firstkeeper - I really like the colors your getting into the texture. I wish the face wasn't mirrored, but it's still great work.

and I'm calling this done, time to move onto something simpler (and hopefully quicker).

@oddeyes and silla: both environments are great.you should make walkthrough vids.
@ oddeyes your lighting could use some more shadows.

here is a scene i'm working on. all is far from final, and currently only rendered with mental r.
will put it into udk soon

Blocking out a new scene using stylized modular assets and mixing tiling hand painted textures and stuff. I'll start a thread soon...ish

there is so much awesome in this thread. putting some in my inspiration folder. heres my poop in progress

nice engines! 4s4 ...more

Need to finish this char... zzz

Solid work people.

[edit] - hair and beard are placeholders.

Here's another uniform for my mod, though it sort of sucks compared to everything else in this thread.

started working on the texture for my Voldemort character :


Diffuse only, no specular yet

Have been mainly focusing on the face, got some seams to fix at the arms, but so far I like it, but definitely have to get those eyes textured.
