Teh Robster looking for insight

tehrobster2

Hello all polycounters, I see others posting threads on wanting to get better, and I have been looking at my portfolio. I just do not think it is near where it needs to be. So I am seeking your help to critique and help me get better. I mean that is why a lot of us post on here right .
First here is some of the concepts that I working from to see what you guys think of them to see if you think it would be a good idea or not.

Not much to be said if you don't show what you're doing with 'em...

Here is my update on the bell

SaferDan

good start on the bell, are you going to Z-Brush it?

tehrobster2

I was thinking about it, I am taking a Digital tutors course right now on mudbox, I am not to experienced with either program. I am going to give it a shot once i am done with the tutorial series.

SaferDan

awesome!

although i just realised it's a warhammer online concept, tbh it would all be in the texture and they would probably use that model there

Do you use Maya, do you know a better way to show of my wip renders than using an ambient occlusion ??

Artem Volchik has a really nice method of rendering things,

The tutorial is written for max, but you can most certainly modify it for Maya.

Also i believe these mats can be used for Maya as well, but i'm not 100% sure

For 3d models (no textures) you'll want to just cut and paste screenshots of the viewport, with the wires on. Like this:

Hey guys thanks for comments. Yeah I have seen those tutorials, I still have not been able to translate them over to maya yet, but I am still working on it.

Those look like a good start keep at it : ) Can you post some wireframe renders also?

tehrobster2

Here is an painterly sword that I have been working on as well.

Here is one of the textures that are done for the tree scene so far

Here is another update for the bell =D

That bell will probably look nicer as a blizzard styled lowpoly than as a highpoly.
