WIP Small Works Art Thread

Ok, after hours of work I finally finished my gas mask type character. I think this might be one of my best works of art yet. Here is the final render.

Forest Virus Outbreak:



Created entirely with Blender, rendered in cycles and then finalized in Gimp. What do you think?

Edit: and now I go back to working on my toon game. I might have a webplayer up soon. of the current level Im working on.

 

working on a industrial area,its not much yet but what do u think about it?

 

The image is a bit dark and hard to make out the detail, but those look like some nice models. The buildings seem slightly disproportionate relative to the character model. Could just be the angle, but they look a bit small and then again it could be just me.

 

tnx for feedback, heres a brighter version and i scaled the buildings a bit

 

The buildings look better now.

 

The bricks look a tad large

 

Another shader. This time more realistic.

I've also got a more complete description in the showcase thread. HEREhttp://forum.unity3d.com/threads/216544-Energy-Conserving-Blinn-Phong
Incase you wanted to mess around with it.

 

After working on that gas mask type character I have had more urges to sculpt. Heres a WIP of a quick sculpt I started today. going for a stylized female type character.



Proud of the results so far. This sculpting is getting in the way of my toon game development
Gotta get back to working on that.

 

Retopologized the head from my original sculpt. I think it looks good.

Sculpt is on the Left.
Retop is on the Right.

 

Can't see the photo. For anyone who can't, here is a light version.

I agree, if you are going for standard brick size. If not, and it's a choice, it doesn't fail, it just has a chunky feel to it. I don't think it's bad, but I am aware that the large brick size in not a standard brick.

It's hard to see the detail in these images, the only thing to check - regardless of the size of the brick - is whether details look like they've been made of bricks, rather than have a brick texture projected on them.

Look at the details where the walls of the building change depth, and make sure that the texture doesn't just wrap around the corners, but is matched to them. When the walls are inset for a window, that would be the end of a brick, so details like this shouldn't happen:



It's a small detail, but what I'm trying to show here is that the brick texture is not aligned to the edge of the geometry when it changes depth. The bricks should align with the edge of the inset.

The left shows red what's wrong, the middle is the original capture from your image, the right is corrected in photoshop.

@Dogzerx, I absolutely love that Owl character!

 

YAAAAAAY!!! :-D!! thank you!

 

Those look awesome - I especially love the Owl and the Turtle!

 

@Dogzerx, I like all of them. but The owl is especially my favorite. Oh and I forgot to mention, great animations by the way. Especially on the owls movement. You really nailed the owl head on. Are these characters for a game project of yours? or are going to sell them on the asset store?

Anyway, I went back to working on my secret toon game. As you know, I posted a couple of screenshots earlier of it and some of you said that the solid colors don't look to good and its missing its "Unique" style that a toon game should have. And I 100 % agreed with what you guys said. So like I said I would do, I went back and started doing texture work on all my models to try and give it a really unique visual art style while still maintaining a toon look and feel. And I think I have come up with a great style that is unique and looks really good. So here is a preview of my house model I recently re-textured.

Before: (Original artstyle)




And After retexture work(new art style)


I really like the look of it and I think it makes the game look much more polished than what I originally had in mind. I will be doing the entire game in this style. I am rexturing more of the game assets I created as we speak.

Hope to show more soon

 

If you could make everything match that texture style, it'd look fantastic.

 

Yeah, I definently see the impressionistic/Zelda Skyward Sword influence.

 

Thanks! Im retexturing everything to look like this. The whole game will have this style.
The environment especially will look much nicer to such as snow and trees.

That is what I said I was aiming for
A skyward sword type texture style. Actually, I thought this house I retextured looks a bit like pipits house. (sort of)

 

What I've been working on

 

@Dogzerx AMAZING!

 

Awesome stuff
Is this for some game?
Cuz I would definetly play it

 

So AWESOME! Can't wait to see more, José!

 

A word game I been woking on the past couple of weeks. Still pretty early but is starting to come together. Still a lot to do though.

web player : http://ihdlive.com/demo/wordgame/fullgame.html

 

@snowconesolid Your style is looking a bit wierd, but I'm loving it! lol, stick to it, I think it will look very stunning when finished!

 

They look great!!, would love to see them in wireframe if possible, do you have a wire render anywhere?

 

Hi really nice texture work on the model, but the one thing that looks really odd to me, is the size of each floor, to better explain it i did a paint over hope you don't mind, unless its ment to be some sort of strange style?

 

Everyone is working so hard
here is my contribution, an infested terminal

 

@Janpec @ Marcos: You honor me guys! Thank you!

BlackDragonStory: Imma put them on the Asset Store! :-]

No problem!



They're about 2.5k triangles each.

 

Thanks for posting the wireframe, they look great in wireframe also always like to see the wireframe they show me so much more.

 

Nice and clean wire there dogzerx. Hope to see those guys in platformer game. I can already see how great would PC platformer with that style look, placed in some fantasy tree infested land , some coins to collect, maybe dog saving some mates from cages , and then you could switch characters for example use owl to fly where dog cant go....

 

And that is how great games are born

 

OMG Dogzerx. That owl is class.

 

I just felt in love with normal maps haha.

 

Whats up everyone here's the new SS-3 still in development, let me know what you guys think of the build

 

Looks cool. The top of front glass seems a bit too straight


50s adventure stuff wip...

 

Really nice, Florian, looks like a place I'd like to explore. Are the buildings all from scratch?

 

Fantastic texturing Serg-ros ! The only critique is the flat lighting, which makes it hard to read. I guess there is no lightmap because you are aiming for dynamic night and day cycles but at least some AO would help to spererate the elements a bit.

Thanks. Yes but the background buildings are reused from another project and doesn't quite match the style yet. The foreground gets more detail so maybe I can get away by placing lowpoly "silhouette"-style buildings in the back

 

Thanks Florianschmoldt totally agree with you, I will try to finish more) More of my work http://www.flickr.com/photos/96977118@N08/

 

survivor character in progress

 

Florian top notch lighting, you maxed out visuals at their best again. Also cool trees, modeled spherically rather than normal makes interesting use. Your using cubemap only for car metal, or Skyshop?

 

@Rafael Barbosa, Thanks! And nice axe, you will find normal maps very useful. They are great

@FlorianSchmoldt really cool new scene! Nice to see you are done with the Diner scene and already working on this new one. It already looks just as good as the diner. Its so exciting to see this project of yours progress.

@Serg-ros, that looks really good. It has such a good atmosphere to it. And the assets look great.


Ok, here is more retexture work I have done on my game.

Tree house:

Before (Just solid red/yellow/brown colors with toon shading)



After retexture work:


I think this new texture style I am doing kinda gives the game more of a "dark" more serious toony look. So, I might aim for a different direction to go in for this game project and make it more of a "darker" game.

more soon!

 

Sincerly, it is looking excelent! The tree house doen't even look like the same 3D model!

- Rafael.

 

Impressive work Serg-ros ! That vegetation looks fantastic

Yes, I finally got my skyshop. Soo hawt !

Hello everyone!
First time poster here, hope I post this in the right section. This is my wip for modular medieval environment asset. I plan to add some vegetations, smaller props (crates/barrel), and make more prefabs later, but this is how it's looking like right now:



Feedbacks are more than welcomed
I plan to put this together as a pack for the Unity asset store too, so feel free to suggest what props you would like me to add in this pack.

 

Very cool asset store sure BamboBear and wellcome to forums

Florian i am speechless on that skin dude presentation. This might be even better shading than what i have seen in Crytek so far. I am so happy to see that becouse i am planning on characters for game too to use it. Could we perhaps get texture maps shown from you (diffuse, skin emission map) if you dont mind (just posting them in 50%) so that we can learn on your use of maps. Also if you dont mind me asking how many draw calls does this shader have?

 

Thanks man. Yeah. I don't like cryteks visuals at all. They have impressive techs but they somehow manage to overdo everything and add sharpen filters on top of it. The shader might be similar to what they use in crysis3.
I don't quite get the draw call question. 1 shader=1 draw call. Can't tell anything about how many shader instruction it needs but for skin shading, it't pretty fast.

Here are the maps and the settings...
I just use the subdermis color instead of a texture. There's a bit too much shading in the diffuse texture but it's ten24 scan results

 

Thanks Florian, all clear now. Again checked demo scene, i couldnt wish for better skin shader Marmoset team did awesome job, as well as you ofcourse.

 

Magic...

 

I started working on another unity scene, this is a little turnaround of what I have already done.

I was thinking about combining all of the worlds mesh into 1 in order to make the performance better. But the lightmaps didn't apply, and until I find a cure for that, I'm just going with this method.
