WIP Small Works Art Thread

For kanji 英雄の旅 you can use katakana but I don't think it will look nice for your logo. Your kanji is difficult to read but it can also be because your colour is difficult to read. It goes from very dark to very light in some places, it should be soft. Also be careful with how you shade your bottom text, it can change the feeling completely. I will show you an example I made from your logo, I hope you do not mind

You see how each small text changes the feel of your whole logo? You can also see again the bottom example where I use dark shading (natural progress from the main shade) some text is difficult to read. If you really like the dark then you can change the outline but then you must be careful so that it does not distract from the rest of the picture.

You can make the bottom text smaller but I like to keep it so that it is big enough to have various shade. I find that it will look better that way instead of only 1px lines, unless the rest of the logo is made to match.

 

It is my natural voice. I did add in a bass and a bit of treble, though, so it would stand out in front of the music. My voice can go quite low.

 

Nice assets!

 

Hi all, I have been working on a new low poly model. Helicopter UH-60.

Stats:

Verts: 1039
Faces : 905

The result:



P.S just remembered , that I have forgotten the pilot doors

 

more human head sculpting practice. This was a fairly quick one but kind of like how its coming along.

 

Implemented stars and a new graphic for the sun flare.



Also gave Lo-Fi some new graphics and whatnot as well.

 

I see what you mean, and I don't mind using mine for an example at all.

You don't mind if I use your yellow-kanji version, do you?

 

Try a different shade of blue for the letters, a tad darker.

 

No, I don't mind.

 

Focus on the base shape first. Once your low poly head looks correct you can begin working up in detail. Right now you can tell the base mesh is bad and you are just subdividing more and more to place more geo so it looks like goo. Take it one step at a time

 

Probably belongs in the programming section but i much prefer the art side of development

Touching up some Ai code for Livalink's next update. All behaviours are realtime, no static waypoints just calculated random positioning based on various inputs. Im pretty pleased, animations could definitely use some work :[

Edit:
Also started working on a new level today

 

Ben4Views as always wow! Very impressive! AI programming is something I always wanted to get better at. I always just come up with simple AI code that just has the enemy follow but nothing more. Ill check out the programming section when unity puts up the AI programming tutorial in the stealth project.

@hellraizerhhh meh, I didnt like how the head was turning so I ditched it and now im working on a top secret low poly game asset vehicle!


Its no secret that its some type of flying boat

 

I'm looking forward to this next update Ben! The look map looks really fun.

 

Some progress with NPR (non photo realistic rendering) in unity, using the upcoming Toon Desktop Shader.
I would appreciate some feedback, especially what you do not like.

 

RPG high quality scene, testing with lights

​

See you and please feedback

 

Doesn't look very high quality. It's way too dark to see anything.

 

Hello!

Here new pics less dark.

​

See you!

 

More level work, damn skyboxes!

 

ben4views: very nice, looking good.

As for my game,


I have put crashed helicopter into the scene



Added some lightshafts, far buildings. Trying to keep as low poly as possible.

I would like to hear some comments, criticism or feedback on the design or color schemes

Thanks,

Augustas

 

My finished low poly game asset.



I made this while I watched through the low poly game asset series on Blender cookie. The tutorial went through the process of creating a fire hydrant as the example. I used the new techniques I learned to create this flying boat type low poly vehicle.

The texture work isnt very great since I just quickly kind of threw things together and rushed through it but not a bad result in the end.
you probably notice that I put the blender and blender cookie logos on the side of ship.

 

Colors are a bit garish I think. You should also bake, or paint a AO map to spice it up.

 

testing some outdoor lighting what do you think guys? is it too dark?

 

Damn that looks sexy.

 

Love the style gotStyle!

My modeling practice for today. Mew from pokemon. I think it looks pretty accurate. going to texture and render next.

 

Some handpainted rocks I'm working on.

 

I wanna be the very best, that no one ever was.
To catch them is my real test, to train them is my cause.
I will travel across the land, searching far and wide...

 

The night scenes are too bright, especially considering you have strong apparent light sources coming from the lanterns. I'd drop the intensity of the directional light, so your lanterns can shine and provide drama to your scene.

 

Lighting on them just is a little poor on them at the moment. I think the biggest detractor is that the assets dont look like they are tied to the scene. There is no AO or shadow at all, so they look like they are semi floating about. With that full moon you have, you would have shadows and areas of light and dark. Right now its all uniform except for two bright orange spots.

 

Hail to da King, baby.

(I know, I know. Work in progress. Seriously, he is. If you doubt me check his facial hair!)

 

Looks great asvarduil! And yeah, the original 151 pokemon and original pokemon song was the best.

More progress on my small mew project
Rigged and textured the body. Going to creating the rest of the scene, posing and then creating the final render next.

 

@gotstyle Very nice assets, really like skyboxes and assets but as previously guys said it really needs some lightmaping or SSAO or shadows.

 

Thanks for the positive feedback guys!

It's hard to find a balance :/. I try to bump the shadow strength a little bit for better contrast.

Yes, i agree! I have some issues with the SSAO image effect. (is there a way to exclude terrain grass?)

At the moment the shadow strength is very subtle... i bump that up

Thanks

some of the assets are from Michael O.

I can't lightmap the scene, there is a custom made day night cycle active.

//edit

small update with ssao



i hate these dark spots on the grass

 

When you rig something, put its feet 0,0,0 on the grid so you can have a properly aligned model in the world. Right now your model is off the world center and the Top SRT (scale rotation translate) node is at his head instead of his feet.

 

^yeah you are right thanks for the tip. Typically I do watch for this stuff, but in this case I dont think it really matters since this model is not going to be animated or used in game. Its just going to be a still render I am working on. So I just have the rig to pose the character. The rig works fine and I have already created a pose. I am working on the render as we speak. But yeah you are right. I will take that precaution for my more important models.

Might have the final render up tomorrow.

 

Just adding some screens of a recent project. Click to enlarge.

 

rigged up my dude and set up a cute little zelda "z-targeting" imitation with mecanim: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14673841/zlock/zlock.html

I still need to add logic to handle zooming out when either the player or the z-lock target start to go off the screen, though.

Edit: added said logic

 

@Prime I think thats awsome! great job. Also your character reminds me a lot of wind waker link. Keep it up man!

I finally finished my small mew remake project and I think its safe to say this is the best thing I created in 3d yet.

Mew Final Render

 

Nice one, mate!
Keep improving!

 

Super quick attempt at hand painted textures. I'm really impressed with myself, especially considering only about half an hour's work went into this:

 

Celtic helmet.

 

Remade a lot of stuff and that is what i got now... early wip of my character... low and high poly...

 

Hi!
I'm working on a menu for my game Project Null. Any suggestions on improvements?

 

wow man, i remember when you were modeling crappy low poly models, now look what you could make! awsome art man, keep up your studying !

 

Celtic wooden shield. Few more variations to come.

 

haha thanks man. Very encouraging
I will continue to improve.

Up next is Mew 2. since Mew 2 should be a slightly more challenging model to create instead of mew.

Edit: Working on Mew 2 as we speak

 

Just so you know, Mewtwo is all one word.

 

Whoops. Thats embarrassing. And I call my self a pokemon fan haha. Thanks for the heads up.

Anyway, just finished modeling my Mewtwo so here is my final mesh. Now i will rig, texture and then render.
