VG Remix - Yogg Saron

Impala88

Hey guys, been a while since i last posted anything but i figured i'd have a bash at this.

This is my first propper go at anything super low poly and low res texturewise, so i don't know where this will end up but it should be good fun.

My setting will be the fight in WoW against Yogg Saron.

I'm going to be making a stylized version of him, his room and 3 heroes taking him on.

latest:

The room:


the boss:


the heroes:




The style:

Excuse the crude drawings, bit tired, bit of a hurry and my drawing skills aren't what they used to be :P

Going for an exaggerated style, will see how it plays out with the armor.

Block it out! Sketchup it! Show it off! ^_^

Impala88

Impala88

and now the scene so far:

Shiv

Love how dynamic it feels already
Looking forward to the texturing!

a3sthesia

Awesome! I've been waiting to see that ^_^

Impala88

update: textures added to the tentacles and added mre tentacles to the object.

The tentacles are seperate objects at about 50 tris or so each, Yogg himself is at 500 tris and the hero is a little over with 538 tris.

texture sheet so far:

Impala88

more texture work.

Almost done with Yogg, the back of him is pretty much finished, just need to do the other side.

Impala88

more updates on the yogg texture:

Impala88

finished Yogg!

yogg textures including the tentacle objects which i've classed as map/prop objects rather than part of the character:

JurassicPerk

Yogg is simply awesome! Great work

Javibcln

this is too awesome man! i really love the textures, nice work, im looking forward to watching the final composition!

Wombatinahat

Looking good dude! Getting a bit of fizz going on with his mouth eyes. Maybe try reducing the texture sharpness on the teeth?

Impala88

cheers fixed the fizzing as much as i can without cutting out some teeth. Already cut it down a bit before i posted it so now with the softer texture, that's as good as it'll get with no filtering.

deadpixl

Great texture work, also love the initial pose for your character.

Impala88

cheers, i'm wondering whether i should go for one character or 3 now, will find out once i've textured the first guy. Until then, i've just quickly whipped up the paladin mesh:

Xeik

Oh god, amazing texture work on Yogg o___o Did you use some kind of emissive map or did you just pick colours that makes it seem to glow?

Impala88

nah there are no emissives, just one diffuse texture. It's the contrast with the darker background that helps to give it the glow too Plus it's unlit anyway. Hoping to get a similar look for the ground below him with the swirling pool of green gunk ^^

Impala88

more updates.

Started textureing the warrior. Got half of it done, still missing legs arms and shoulders, and then a small texture for the weapon.

[sketchfab]b871256e3d7541f887624ddb33937d8e[/sketchfab]



ignore the black patch on the texture for now.

moose

Cool! Character styling came out awesome, excited to see the whole thing! Yogg looks great, awesome use of the texture!

nerd brain is twitching "omg no way they could take on Yogg in Tier 2 and Tier 4 armor!"

Impala88

haha yeah, tried to think of the best colour combinations for the scene, the ealier tiers are nice and colourful with alot of contrast where as later ones are a bit more drab unfortunately.

but one word fixes that: Transmog!

deadpixl

Still can't get over how awesome that warrior is. Love the color choices too.

D4V1DC

Damn I could learn a thing or two here, crazy awesome results I am in awe, great job.

JurassicPerk

Fantastic result on the warrior... that pose is very dynamic. After the contest is finished, would be very interesting if you cared to share your texturing workflow... the end result is very clean

heheheh yeah BUT FURTHER NERD BRAIN SAYS TRANSMOG WASN'T IN GA... ahhhhh haha. just joking :poly142:

should read really well! excited

Impala88

Update!

Got the warrior finished. Now in the scene with Yogg.

warrior textures:

minorthreat

This is one of those entries i've been drawing a ton of inspiration from.

TDub

Looks awesome! Textures and colors makes me drool..

One issue I'm seeing is the silhouette of Yogg. His feet match right up with the end of the axe, and its hard to distinguish his pose from most angles. Possibly try getting a gap between those.

Up to you!

JurassicPerk

I agree with TDub suggestion, but apart from that, everything is simply awesome!

Impala88

will definitely take a look at that. I'll likely change the position of the feet a bit as well as the weapon.

Also, my next port of call will be the room. Once that's done i can be sure the majority of the scene is finished before taking on the last 2 characters, at least then i'll have a more or less finished piece if i don't have time to get everything done.

Lastly, i'm changing the warlock to a death knight. that way i can save a bit of time by re-using the base character mesh from the paladin/warrior, as well as by-pass any need for opacity maps (spells etc).

AzzaMat

This is looking soo good. I can't wait to see the finished piece.

Impala88

more updates

made the chains and the plynths around the outside.
Also fixed the legs and axe on the warrior.

Spacey

Keeps getting better and better!

D4V1DC

Straight Sex, I now see how epic your diorama will look, cheater.

a3sthesia

hey this is coming out really good. Well done!

Polychin

This is one of my favorites for sure. I really like your work on the textures and poses of your characters
Looking forward to it being done!!!

Impala88

rocks and water are now in. got the back wall done too, but still need to make the chain hooks and the joining low wall to finish the room. Then onto the alst 2 characters.

Still need to sort out a suitable way of doing a shadow too for the warrior, maybe look at making a small texture grabbed from the texture below the warrior to get a faked soft shadow without baking it onto the rock texture.


[sketchfab]3a72aec1849241029a294c82c28b84da[/sketchfab]

PaperTig3rs

Wow! Awesome texture work! Great Job

Impala88

looking over the room textures now it's coming across very bright and desaturated. Need to add a little more blue/green to the floor and lighten up the walls and plynths a bit more.

I've also added a few more polys to the rocks to get some better forms.

I'll need to make a mvoe on the other characters quickly now though.

Daniel Duy

Congratulation! this is awesome. A week to polish and your piece will look even better. Love the composition

hannes d

my fav entry so far
great job

Impala88

cheers guys.

I've done some fiddling and here is the new room. It's pretty much done now, apart from the archway which i think will be the last addition to the room.

After that i'll have about 2.5 evenings to try and get the last 2 characters done.

The platform 'particle' effects are done via Escalator's nifty work around of the 1-bit alpha by using stretch/squashed UVs along with the filtering of the texture to get a blurred alpha.

[sketchfab]ba9d7a0c82804077a98b31caa09e3130[/sketchfab]

Wombatinahat

coming along nicely man! loving the light shaft effect things

Nice depth on the ground too.

AimBiZ

Looking really good. The monster is disappearing a bit when you look at a distance due to contrast. The rim elements could be toned down in that regard. Maybe the monster could have some stronger highlights as well.
I dig what you did with the icy rocks, adds depth.

Impala88

Yep, gone back to the ground and i've updated the boss now too.

A lot of changes made and the Paladin is in too.

here's the latest:
[sketchfab]a08bcb8c650a41f580f0fde16dcbfe5a[/sketchfab]

Only 1 more thing to do now which is the deathknight. However, i'm away for the next few days! hopefully i'll have tim on sunday evening before the deadline to get it all completed.

Escalator

Looks awesome, nice work! Especially the light shafts :poly124:

Impala88

As long as i have time, i'm going to be giving the death knight these for his weapons:



The deathknight himself is done and posed, also unwrapped. Just the textures to do now. But those sowrds i'll still need to model.

Wombatinahat

Paladins looking great man, sweet shield. Nice work darkening the edges of the ground it really helps put the focus on Yogg. Not sure about adding the entrance archway it might make the scene a bit lop sided and obstruct the view.

Impala88

True, I think i'll just update the texture for the outer rocks to have a darker line around it and extrude some faces downwards to finish up the entrance bit. would probably work best that way.

Spacey

Nothing to add from me, just wanted to say I've been enjoying the development of this. One of the best. Great job!
