WIP Small Works Art Thread

Wow those are some beautiful guns. I like the consistent style across all types.

Here's a bomb I made. It's part of my lockpicking/disarming/safecracking/hacking/etc toolkit:



Learned a few things about baking shadows into the texture while making this one.

 

tnx
the bomb looks good i would add some dirt in the textures though

 

Thanks for the feedback. I smoothed it up a bit, and added some dirt where the edges meet.

 

Now it looks better with some dirt : D

Learning anatomy


I'll break the symmetry soon to make him more interesting

 

Wow, that looks awesome ! Great job ! IT makes my project look dumb....oh well more inspiration to fuel myself to get better.

Here is a project I've been working on for my game art 2 class. We were given themes from a random video game title generator This one . Mine ended up being spelunking though time...

Concept Sketch ( Please note My design has changed during the modeling process ).



Hi-Rez Sculpt





LOW-Rez No Maps



Low rez Mesh with Normal + Cavity Map



This is still a work in progress........ Critiques are always welcomed !!

 

Just a medieval house I've been modeling today.

 

Retextured the robot guard from Unitys' Stealth demo using a physically based shader system I'm developing.

 

A random cartoon character I'm working on, not use to hand paint stuff so I thought I would try a character.

 

As always, there's some great (and oft intimidating) stuff in this thread).

Working on some 2d Vector stuff, as I'm thinking about taking a look at Spine at some point:

 

feloxy: that silhouette reminds me of crash bandicoot, looking good so far



Realtime render in marmoset, still doesnt have eyeballs, and the texture is just a base with poor colors, the polycount is 2700

 

A work in progress for a hobby project of mine.

 

Haha yeah well I was just playing Crash and the first Ratchet and clanks so it made me do this mesh and thanks, I'm not too sure how I'm gonna texture it yet, it's a little side thing I'm doing, I have another project right now it's to practice my hand painting. Any suggestions on the style is appreciated.

And your guy is way awesome, nice proportions. I don't have lots of time on my hands, it would take me ages to do something like that.

exploring new things with the model, new haircut(just a base right now, needs more variation), i'm going to model cloth for him...

 

My little projects in the making

 

Svog super good work. That dude is ready to go in some western game or maybe a Mayan one.

 

some creeping enemy

 

A fat bat?
It made me smile

 

I love that bat's facial expression.

"Yay. I am so glad to be here, attacking these random people because I am a video game enemy. I could be napping in my cave, flying around and eating bugs in my spare time, but am I? Nah. That'd be too exciting. So, if you want me to attack them, OK. I'm going to stay just as excited as I am right now while doing it, because I totally couldn't be doing anything better with my spare time."

@Asvarduil

Thanks for comments.
Here the animation:

 

Starting work on a sci fi prop set. Currently working on sides of walls.
If you have some ideas of pieces to do PM please it would be much thanks.

 

what's up everyone here I have the Fly rider that run off of electric rockets (unlimited energy) its still in early stages of development, yet its getting close to completion I haven't decided what exactly I want to do with it yet but I'm sure I will or if you all have any suggestion please let me know if you want to share what you think, so in the picture I have started build the frame and I'm going to add all the other components other than just the body of the model and in the video is me build the model when I first started, so share with me what you guys think about it so far

Sniper guy..

 

I really like that model NiloBR. Good job. It looks good.Can't wait to see it textured. It looks like you sculpted the head and poly modeled the body? I cant tell but the face looks more dense than the rest of the model.

 

i'm glad u like it... actually the head is a separated mesh with some extra polys... and about the texture, i'm going to a minimalist cartony style... so the texture end up being mostly flat colors... the final look its done by the shader.... i will post something when its done....

 

Just returned from 3 months of traveling, quick sculpt to try and shake the rust off:

 

Started painting again. My most recent result!


A slight note- this was with a mouse, because I still don't have a tablet for it.

 

Fishman92 and Marcos as always great artwork from the both of you.

Marcos, Do you just make up your sculpted characters as you go or do have some reference/inspiration you use when you create these?

 

Cheers!

Depends on the sculpt itself. For personal projects I'll have an idea and maybe gather some reference for it to look at. Other times I'll just make it up as I go. This one was somewhere in the middle, looked at a comic drawing for some ideas about the jawline and cheekbones but then freestyled the rest of it.

 

You've come a long way in hand painted stuff man

 

The first shot of my Dungeon Keeper Game. It shows the Ego perspective mode (no hud yet.. but i'm working on one )


you simply cast 'Infestation' on a creature to walk and take action in the dungeon by yourself.

 

Finished

 

And here's the weekend's project- a non-slutty female character. Armoured up.

 

So, she's a Spartan V?

 

Basic Camera with a digged tunnel system:


And the new Scull Lamp with Hell-Orb Lightsource:

 

See this is the issue with making sci-fi armour. Somewhere, someplace, somebody's already done it.

 

We'll I wouldn't say although it's a completely original piece or configuration. Not because it's seen familiarly in other science fiction but the fact that it doesn't stray to far away from today equipment. You could always experiment with attachments that aren't souly for defensive purposes, today's military armor defines a pacific role for the wearer so you could expand on equipment concepts and practicality.

It's still a nice character all the same, maybe play around with color variations and camouflage. Why have you chosen the black specifically and how you could add more depth in the geometry with different shades.

 

I chose black for more contrast, because I find it hard to make things with a meaningful colour, so anywhere between white and black is the only thing I seem to like working with. On another note, I did want it in the near-ish future range. I don't want them to appear non-human, if you see what I mean. They have to look like they are a person.

 

Right, a little extra work, sprucing up, detailing etc.


The belt needs some work.

 

guns guns guns

 

That made a HUGE difference, looks so much better than before. From "ok", to "wow" : p

 

Thanks, means a lot. I've got a few bits to brush up on, like the belt, a few texture details, then undersuit and so on first, then i'm going to do a helmet-less or maybe even armour-less version, to try and model human hair for the first time in a non-cartoony way.

 

Here's a guy I've been working on lately. He may be a little finished to be calling a WIP, but he's still in need of some detailing and polish. The boots in particular need to be un-polished, and made to look more like old leather, and there's some weirdness with the reflection map on the jacket. The rigging is super basic, and the jacket UVs are a little out of whack. But I'm not in a hurry to address either until I can get a chance to retopologize the jacket, which was an auto-retopo using ZBrush's awesome new ZRremesher. It's good, but IMO not quite as good a solution as hand retopologizing. (Yet... Pixologic is doing amazing things with that stuff.)





I'm especially psyched about having picked up Marmoset Skyshop, and including it as part of my interactive character viewer, which you can see here:

http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3329542/Hunter/Hunter.html

And you can see more on the character here on my site:

Feedback and suggestions are welcome!

 

^ That character looks amazing SpencerPDX, so realistic! ZRemesher is amazing. Although I find it outputs a very clean, but still somewhat highpoly topology! Are you using ZRemesher topology for Unity by any chance? And if so, do you have to tweak it afterwards, or is it usable right away? (Because that'd be an amazing time saver)

-

I finally got my mecanim character working!
What do you think?

 

Thanks, much appreciated. All the more because I'm a fan of your work -- bought your Wizard Girl pack a while back, partly to help me figure out that animation system, and partly just because it looked great at a good price.

This was my first stab at ZRemesher. I did find that it was hard to get it to as low a polycount as I would have liked. And one thing that was a constant problem was that its loops were often actually spirals. So it limits its usefulness for optimization, rigging, and other things that can depend on nice consistent loops. But in many cases it's just fine; I used it on some plate armor I'm building and it's certainly good enough. It really is amazing for an automated solution.

I haven't tweaked it much because I decided i'm just going to hand-retopo where I need a better solution. Trying to fix spirals by hand sounds like more trouble than it's worth.

Really cool. Great physique, well-rigged and weighed, and I love the art style. From what I can tell it's a really solid Mecanim setup, one of the best I've seen. Is this going to be a pack?

 

@Spencer:
THAT'S SO AWESOME! and extremely flattering as well.

Just saw your page, and it has some seriously great quality characters! :-0
Congratulations on your site!!

I would use the zRemesher as well, the tricount suits a AAA/next-gen character. I didn't know it could make too many spirals, but it looks pretty clean.

Yeah, I am thinking on making a pack, but not with this character. I started a customizable character project some time ago, but it's on hold right now.. it overwhelmed me, lol!
I'll pick it up again in the near future!

 

Recent 2d works some nice and simple stuff to refresh my mind

 

Xiphos, greek sword.



Btw Spencer or dogzerx do you by chance know how good is Remesher with comparision of current 3d coat autopo tools? I am wondering if it is much better, or is it really on same area being-still being one step outside to be used instead hand stuff.
