Sketchbook: paulsvoboda

paulsvoboda

Hello everyone.
I've been on this forum for a while but haven't posted much and am currently on GA. I am interested in getting feedback for the work I've done and thought of starting a sketchbook here too.
I've already learnt a lot from the forums here and at Game-Artist.net and hope to continue learning from all of you.

So, here is some of the work I've done. Most of this work has been from last year (2009) and was done for classes in college.

These beginning models were mostly done in 4-5 days. I think the Gladiator guy took me 6 and most of them have obvious flaws and need a lot more work done (Still, feel free to comment on any of those flaws).

Here's a Corinthian Column I worked on - took a lot longer

These were done in a Texture and Lighting Class. We had to both light and texture these. The Lighthouse scene was taken from one of Jeremy Brin's Lighting Challenges over at CGtalk. The Character model is the standard Unreal Tournament model which we had to Texture with DIffuse, Bump and Spec Maps.

And these were some of the latest things I've worked on. They are High Poly Assets for a level in UDK I'm working on - An Abandoned/Destroyed Cathedral.

Wow great stuff in here, the details are amazing. I don't really see anything that stands out as bad so far.

this is some pretty cool stuff you have going on man, only thing that I can say to lend more time to is your faces. outside of that it's looking good!

FlyByKnight

Really impressed so far, your architectural work is fantastic!

paulsvoboda

Thanks a lot everyone.
@bounchfx. Faces are something I've struggled with. I don't think I want to work with characters in the future but it is still something I would like to practice but there seems to be a shortage of hours in each day .
@FlyByKnight - Thanks man. I love architecture and love trying to model it, but need to branch out more.

Haven't posted anything in a long time so I figured I should post some more work.
Been doing some 2d stuff for the past few months but haven't scanned it so I'll post the 3d stuff. As always, please critique.

Most of this stuff is practice in High Poly modeling and also the Cathedral that I worked on - but haven't exactly finished as I still want to go back and try out a few things and add a few more assets.

The arch was inspired by one of the assets Kevin Johnstone created for Unreal Tournament 3.

I Finished the Bike Engine a while back:

Doing some Character Modeling for class. I started with doing a Anatomy study and then went on to a Charicature type model:

The low poly bake of the Caricature model. It's currently 3000 tris and I'm still looking to trim some edges. I also have to fix up the folds in the arms but for class I'm calling it done.

Somewhat overdue, but here's a model I did for my current environment:

nicely done detail and when it comes to hard surface and other environment artwork looks good.

your textures are nice but try to create some more contrast otherwise you end up having a scene which despite all the detail feels flat.

your characters are lacking a lot in terms of anatomy and proportions.
however that caricature looks great. keep it up!
