David Schultz - Work Thread

dtschultz

I figured I'd just go ahead and start a thread to combine my pieces. I've started just posting pieces in WAYWO, but I figure I should have a thread here in case people have feedback, which is harder to do in WAYWO. I'm going to post up a couple of pieces I've done recently.


Here's a piece from the Darksiders Art Jam. I reworked the spine from what I had originally, because it got a bit sloppy and I lost control over the layering on the different spinal bones (or whatever they are). This is just a render from Zbrush of the grey and the polypaint. I plan on doing a lowpoly with an improved texture and a better render of the high.

This is a piece I did not too long ago of an urn from the Palace of Versailles. The high is on the left, modeled in Max and Zbrush, rendered in Modo.

This was another piece I did just a little while back. It's floating rock formation from a James Paick piece: http://www.conceptroot.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/james-jaick1.jpg

I still can't decide if that glowing decal just looks weird the way it is conforming to the surface.

Here's a render in 3ds Max of a spire from a Cathedral in Milan. I planned on making a larger piece out of this, but I haven't gotten around to it.

Very impressive relief work on the vase sculpture.

I'm a sucker for that stuff.

dtschultz

Swag: Thanks, man! Yeah, me too.

PhoenixWolf

more...

BenHenry

Love it! sweet stuff.

leleuxart

Really nice sculpts. Lots of great details

dtschultz

PhoenixWolf: Hah! I'll see what I can do.
BenHenry and leleuxart: Thanks!

I reworked this hatch door panel. It's part of a larger radial array of doors for a large corridor. I'm working on a render of that array and a low poly.

refriedspinach

that panel is so sweet, and that urn pretty sweet too! the urns detail came across pretty awesome in the low poly!
great work!

dtschultz

Thanks, refriedspinach! Yeah, I've been wanting to go back to that urn and add in a few more polys to try and give the central medallion a bit more depth around where the bottom section of the stalks and ribbons pops out. One of these days.

dtschultz

I finally got a render of the hatch door array. The hole in the center will be filled by another piece I am making.

dtschultz

Here's my redesign of this side generator pump piece I showed awhile back. It's part of a larger piece, so most of the lower left section will not be visible. This is mostly from Modo with some boolean and welding scuzz in Zbrush.

I've just noticed there are a few thing missing. I'll fix that later and re-post.

Good stuff.

Making the Shultz name look good 8) even if it's spelled a little differently.

dtschultz

Hah! Thanks, Mike! Represent.

_Kratos_

Wow great stufff man!

dtschultz

Kratos: Thank you, sir!

I made a more moody version (swapped out the HDRs, etc.), and I modified a couple of things that were bugging me. I think I like this one a bit more.

dtschultz

Here's another version of this generator piece. I added in some hoses I made in Zbrush with triparts brush and used some Modo MeshFusion for some of the back pieces. I'm still tempted to go in and add in some more panels in a few places.

dtschultz

I just finished my first attempt at the new physically based texturing/material process. All of my texturing was done in Substance Designer and Substance Painter (attempting to learn them both), and it is rendered in Toolbag 2.

Very cool stuff man!

Looks like you got some nice details in there especially considering its procedural texturing. The only thing holding it back imo is the glowy bits. Like I couldn't imagine a object looking like that in real life. Do you have any real life references for this? Its like you added glow bits cause its fun and cool, without thinking does it really look correct. Just my opinion though, keep up the great work!

Hah. Thanks, man. Yeah, it's the bloom that's making the yellow plastic "glow". Yeah, it's a bit hot after I pushed up some of the exposure controls, and so it's overblown in those areas.

dtschultz

Here's the main ref, I used for material definition and some of the forms. You can see how much the yellow metal blooms. It's true the plastic tubes shouldn't be so hot, but I don't think the bloom is that crazy/ Maybe, I'm wrong though.

dtschultz

I did another version with less bloom (i.e. I darkened the diffuse of the tubes and the screws).
