My Journey To Be a 3D Artist !

ayoub44

Hello guys !

and welcome to my journey

---

here is my first piece :



if there is any advices or crits ! i will be thankful

thanks !

Nosslak

I think it looks pretty good but it'd be a lot easier to point out flaws if you were to submit some kind of reference as well.

There is the obvious problem with too tight edges for baking but it's unclear if you're going to bake this or not so that may not even apply.

Also the bolts seem to just intersect the circular parts with no real holes, but it's kind of hard to tell at such a low resolution. It also looks ribs pointing out from the concave bits are just intersecting the main shape but I could be wrong again for low-res and noise.

Good luck with your progress!

ayoub44

thanks , i will try to do more high-res renders next time...

Some progress

silkroadgame

Cool journey!
Your first piece is looking good,and I was wondering how many props can you create in 6 months?

CrackRockSteady

As Nosslak pointed out, it is difficult to give much in the way of feedback without knowing what you are modeling. Do you have some sort of reference or concept you are going off? Are you building some sort of machine from your imagination? If so, what is it's purpose? Without any info about what you're building, all we can see is that you've modeled some high poly cylinders and bolts.

@Silkroadgame: thanks , i think this 6 months will be a journey of learning and a lots of fails .
@Cracktocksteady : that was just a little practice , trying to make a mechanical thing . i will be sure to work from references for my next projects ! thanks you

---

so i started a little new project :
here is my reference :



i think i will go CG for this one , and make it with MentalRay
here is my models :









Next Step , i will try to make some simple renders and put the models together and then TEXTURING

Any crits , i will be thankful ..

thanks you

Tobbo

I hope you are using more reference than just that image...

A golf tee actually dips on top so it can hold the ball without it rolling off. Yours looks completely flat. The shape is incorrect as well. Find some separate reference images for a golf tee and you'll see what I mean.

The banner has some creases that should not be there and the flow looks uneven.

Take special care in paying attention to your control edges. There shouldn't be any unwanted creases.

ayoub44

thanks you ! i fixed that

here is my test render with skyline .
and a little practice





crits welcomed

ayoub44

NEW UPDATE !

here is a render with MentalRay . Small resolution for the test



i changed the color of text because the black didn't work out well

any crits welcome

Tobbo

It's looking better! There's still a crease in the banner that I think you should try and get rid of.

huffer

Hey, be careful on resizing images - keep the aspect ratio locked, as a couple of them are visibly squashed (the first one, and the screws). It doesn't look very professional and recruiters will think you don't know enough Photoshop or something. :poly101: Other than that good luck in your journey!

ayoub44

Fixed thanks you huffer for the tip

here is my final .. i'm having trouble with this shit quality :poly127:



crtis welcome

ayoub44

my model for the week challenge


i should work more
crits welcome

paulsvoboda

Hey man,
These are coming along nice. I like your approach to learning/improving, making a variety of engine parts will create a great mental repository of shapes you can pull from later on, and it's also just great hard surface practice.
Would love to see the reference you are using to build these pieces. I think at this stage it's best to start collecting real world ref and using that to model off of. One of the best sites to use to find some great mech shapes is probably prime portal: http://www.primeportal.net/the_airstrip.htm
Anyways, Keep going! Looking forward to seeing more.

ayoub44

thanks a lot for the advices and for the link too

here is another work : KATANA





crtis welcome

Vii

Hey, not a bad attempt on the katana at all. Just looking at your image made a few thoughts pop up but I haven't actually compared them, so just for reference:

I think katana's are a little bit longer and the blade is generally more curved. What you have at the moment reminds me more of a ninjato (well, a particularly long one).

ayoub44

thanks for your crits

i did a fast hand painting practice

looprix

You are definitely getting better and better don't stop!

ayoub44

thanks you

i will start doing some practice challenges ..

Challenge : Creating normal map for a props just using photoshop . no highpoly or baking
Time : 40 min

i did some bad unwraping ad having some seems

WIP SCOOP , Blocking and some details

Earthshine

I dont want to sound like a dick and jump to conclusions, but are all those assets on your cg hub truly yours? They all have varying degrees of skill put forth. I also notice some erase marks where titles should go on a few of them. Most obviously the wood.

Also, this low poly handpainted sword on your profile:

http://cghub.com/images/view/523351/

happenes to be the exact same shape as this handpainted sword model available for download....

That sword is a tutorial asset so many people could have made this.

ayoub44

Yes , they are all my work .. i don't really see a good in stealing others people work

for the hand painted sword . i just found a concept art and work from it .

you can seet it from here : http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/039/8/1/weapons_concept_04_by_firstkeeper-d4p3f05.jpg

ayoub44

did some baking .. turned out really bad



i will try to texture this tomorrow ; i really have to finish it off

crits welcome

ayoub44

I think i will call this done for now ! not really happy with the results . i did a lot of mistakes :



Crits , advices welcome

igi

Your hi-polies looks cool, but can't say the same for the lows. If you're intending to bake your hi-poly models, then you should make the edges bolder. I see all of your hi-poly models have too sharp edges that wouldn't translate well into lowpoly.

I think you can give the eotech another chance, with some higher poly counts around the radial indents (looks too much lowpoly) and bolder hipoly edges. You'll need to split your uvmap corresponding to your sharp edges on your models shading (if you're not using synced workflow, it seems so).

ayoub44

thanks man for the crits , help a lot

here is a little rock study , i will texture it later

ayoub44

i did a speed prop , a barrel .. about 45 min

i render it out on mental ray , and i'm really happy with the results ( because i always fail on renders )



crits and advices , welcome

ayoub44

more rocks

ayoub44

NEW WIPE ,

i will go cg for this one :



crits welcome

ayoub44

WIP

ayoub44

doing some renders test :

ayoub44

Hello



i hope i can get some crits on this one !
thanks you

luge

holy mother of god is that shiny. it looks like your seat and wheels are made of metal O_o also, you may want to darken the background a bit so we can see the details better.

ayoub44

thanks , UPDATE :

i think i will call it done for now



any crits , welcome
thanks you !

ayoub44

Hello

i started working on a simple hallway :
here is the concept



here is my progress so far .



any crits , welcome

thanks

ayoub44

hi guys
i didn't really follow the concept .



i really wanted to do a bigger resolution , but my computer sucks .. this one was 1 hour render : s

Mr Significant

But shit! It's looks very, very good!

ScrotieFlapWack

What modelling software are you using? Maya or Max?

ayoub44

thanks guys

Scrotieflapwack : i'm using 3d max

Demogorgon

Nice work dude, but maybe look into using marmoset tool bag will save waiting an hour for a render.

achillesian

make a cage for your bakes

ayoub44

A new model ! M412 . i'm not really happy with the final result but i just wanted to post it

ayoub44

i started to learn some animating , really fun

ayoub44

doing a project :

here is my first concept

Nrose

Pretty cool Rex and Schwinn Keep up the good work!

ayoub44

thanks !

here is the finished result i think , i have no idea what i'm doing again ! .. here is the final :



any crits welcome : )

jStins

I like that last image a lot. Something that jumps out at me is the harsh edge on the large circular shape. Wait, is that the moon? What's the motivation for that? I think a subtle vignette could work, but the edges would need to be a lot softer.

ayoub44

thanks for the crtis , yeah i wanted to do a big moon in the sky but it's just turned out like that and i leave it

ayoub44

Another work ! not really happy with it .

ayoub44

Hello

i'm going to start learn some unity .. this will be my first project .. it's going to be a 2d environment with 3d models . here is the concept :



here is the modeling so far :



i'm going to try to move the angle of the camera , but i think there will be more work to do : here is a shot



any crtis on this , weclome

thanks
