Suburbum and Spacey: Great stuff!

Low poly version done and done. Sits at 7,880 tri's which is still a little high but i knocked off 20k of fat so not too bad.



Quick turn around;



*Turn around screwed by two compression passes.

Going to unwrap and what not next.

This is awesome! I love the style... it looks 3d ish ?

I am loving your topology on that model Lazerus : )

I spent a good chunk of my xmas vacation this year feeding my head with tutorials and info. I went through a bunch of stuff on 3D Motive and I bought a copy of nDo2 to get up to speed on how to use that. This is what I ended up with for my efforts:



The trees and grass are from a foliage tutorial, the ground texture from a tileable texture tutorial, the barrel as a result of watching high poly modeling and UV unwrapping videos, and the cube at the bottom is my play around with nDo 2.

Fun!!

Why do you have so many polys in the face? If you are baking it there's really no need, they don't add to the silohetter.

He does look cool though.

Oh, sorry, all the tutorials I did were on 3D Motive! Forgot to mention that. Really great stuff.

And, yeah, I've only had nDo 2 for a few hours now and I've already made stuff that I would easily consider to be usable - all without ever starting up Max. :P

low poly bake

choco: I love how the grass makes me feel like I'm looking at a slightly miniature environment

excellent bake PenGuin, will be cool to see it finished

Awesome stuff guys
Jessica Dinh - That looks amazing.! Absolutely love the style

Choco - That is insane ha.! It looks so cool Cant wait to see where you take that scene

Still chugging away at this asset Just trying fill the scene out a bit, Still not completed the Petrol pump yet got a lot to do and obvs still need to bake the actual pump. Still trying to get a more Borderlands look so any Any crits would be awesome

The barrels are the ones from UDK atm and are just placeholders at the moment to give me an idea of the scene

Grantthompson - Looking good. I think you captured the Borderlands feel quite well.

jramauri - thanks dude! im headin back to work, but i should still be supdating regularly.

Jessica, hold your tongue and say that out loud! ;P

Lazerus - lookin pretty cool. all mayan like n stuff. im a fan of that culture bein in 3d artz. your legs are lookin really string beany though. they really dont look muscular enough in the hamstring/ quadricep areas. and the knees just kinda blend in at that bend. ide check out some pics of like dog anatomy n stuff. get that lookin a bit more refined.

Here is my first personal creation for 2012,
not much to say about it,

We decided to do a new lets play with a bunch of the new features, which oddly enough is going to be outdated in the next update! So maybe we will have to redo this or do another one, we shall see!

I think I end up getting mic-recording shyness, where I lose train of thought and forget things!

Wanderlust: Rebirth - Let's Play - Update 2.44! ...

Thanks for the feedback guys!
6,990 tris;



Cleaned up the face, any little parts on the body i missed before scrapping off 1000 tri's. Added more geo to the legs to beef them up a little. Still a few tweaks here and there but i'll look at it with fresh eyes tommorow.

I kept the face higher poly at the start as it would charge/bite/claw so the players focus would be avoiding the head, so the detail should cluster a little. I'll just set some more texture space aside for it Hopefully i'll be able to show you what i mean if i get to animating it !

Nice work peoples... getting 2012 off to a good start.

some cross posting.

weird and cool. just the way i like it.
love the way u handled those "mummy" straps, good and original.
the "dotty" shoes dont to it to me... think there r enuf dots already on the model.
also try mixing some of the colors, pouring some of those green into the yellow pants (as u did with the octo-head, on the inside, and the shoes). Maybe some yellow/orange into the shadows of the straps would work well...

posts the flats!

I was wondering if anyone could give me a critique on the low poly geo I made for my arcade stick. I'm still pretty new to low poly and am not completely sure if I'm screwing up areas or overdoing the amount of geo. Right now I'm at 5050 tris for everything. Not sure if this is way too much for such a prop. The cable is driving up the poly count like crazy. It's 1,700 tris by itself. I've got it at 8 sided right now, not sure If I should go lower.

Also, as far as baking goes, do I need to make the top area water tight with all the buttons, or is it cool to keep everything separate and just give things unique material id's so they don't bake onto eachother?

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

BTW,

Axios that teleleport chambers are epic.

Choco the grassland is looking great.

gillmeister74: what level of finish are you looking to take that? It's looking nice as a concept sculpt, but if your gonna go to a polished model I'd export it into something else and start building the armor over the top of it or seperate it in zbrush so you have more control sculpting individual pieces.
