Swaggy Workshop Thread

Swaggernaut

Hey Guys, Just wanted to post this thread here to get some feedback and as a little place to keep my work. I aminly do 3D work, I can also do some texturing but I'll admit im not the greatest at it. If you ask me for a collab and I politely decline, don't take it personally, It's either because im too busy at the moment or I need a bit of a break from the dota workshop

Swaggernaut

Here is a WiP on a Sahdow demon set I am working on with Pipotchi:



And here is the concepts:





As you can see, both concepts look a bit different from each other. I am mainly using the second concept for sculpting and modelling, but I will be using the first concept for texturing.

Swaggernaut

Here are the final textures of a ward that I am working on with Chanfree as well. Hopefully going to be submitted by tomorrow.

Swaggernaut

Ward is submitted boyz

Back to the Shadow Demon sculpt. Finished the belt slot, and WiP on the tail slot

Swaggernaut

Alright boyz, done the sculpt (for now, pip said he wanted to do some more sketches for the backside)

HeadCrabD

First of all. i like the idea. about the back. the belt/arm. but i think the head probably looks like a stump in-game..maybe try other design?

danee

I like the idea, but the work is rough
Go on

Swaggernaut

Yeah, my partner said he wanted to redesign it for me so he will be providing sketches for it soon. Thanks for the suggestion!

Swaggernaut

Changing projects now, working on a set with Variant844. Working on a drow set and here is the weapon done:



Here is the concept:

whatever

looking swag

Swaggernaut

@whatever Yehaahahhahaha boiiii

Got the base mesh of the set done, still need to figure out how im going to do the cape.

Haftoof

Yeah when I saw that concept art I thought long and hard about how to texture it since the two halves look very similar but different in length. I'm curious how you plan to deal with that texture wise (independent UV space or mirrored somehow)

Swaggernaut

@Haftoof: Oh I was talking about how would i make the base mesh of it since the top part is connected to her torso while the lower half is just swinging there. I would be mirroring it then i would size down one of the halves to match the concept.

Anyways, got the cloth parts done and a basic round over the hair:

Swaggernaut

Finished hair, arms, legs, weapon and misc slot. I will be redoing the shoulder slot because i didnt quite like how it turned out.

Swaggernaut

Got shoulders done, and the cape's base mesh is done too. Will be redoing the hair this time now lol:

Swaggernaut

Made some very slight changes to the cape, finished the hair today. Tomorrow I will hopefully finish the entire sculpt then its off to retopology.

Swaggernaut

Side by side comparison of the default set and our set. (just lowpoly and bakes) I might have to redo the base of the arms and head because im not liking the shadows/shading I've got on the back)

Haftoof

Decide to veer away from the shorter back piece on one side?

Swaggernaut

Actually I was doing that. It's just that it yould be easier if I would model it all symmetrically then at the end, i would have one of the pieces shorter than the other when I'm skinning it.

Swaggernaut

Hello again m80s, We weren't able to finish the drow set since no one wanted to texture it and it just wasn't meant to be unfortunately. However, I have decided to work entirely on my own this time, with the exception of a loading screen since I am crap at those. I am now working on a chaos knight set that revolves around a creature from Harry potter, Buckbeak.



I really loved the scene of how harry potter felt free while riding buckbeak and decided to make a set in honor of one of my favourite movies. Thanks for looking I guess

Swaggernaut

Sculpt is done. Decided to remove some stuff since I didn't like them.

Swaggernaut

Taking a break on the CK set. Working on this dazzle staff with

Is that the low poly for this concept?
If it is then it looks great so far.

Kind of... My workflow is that I get the basic shapes of the weapon/item first then I subdivide it a couple times then I bring it into zbrush for sculpting. Thanks for linking the concept

Swaggernaut

Guess Im done with the sculpt

Swaggernaut

Improved the sculpt. Had lower detail in the other one because I thought that I could cover it up with the textures. So here is an improved version, hopefully its not too much

Swaggernaut

All baked with some Alphas

Swaggernaut

Here is where the Chaos Knight Set stands At the moment. Colors are very off for the mount, Still gotta rebake some things, Need to redo retopo of shoulders, and paint over some errors with other color fixes.

Swaggernaut

Giving the Chaos Knight Set A break. AGAIN. Meanwhile, Im working on this ogre set with NFwar. Will post the weapon soon.

Swaggernaut

Belt Is done

Swaggernaut

Done bracer today

Swaggernaut

Finished hair and fixed some stuff for the belt

Swaggernaut

Dazzle Weapon texture is finally done! Now I just gotta make the masks and the rigging

Swaggernaut

Done the sculpts for everything but the weapon:

Swaggernaut

Some WiP on the weapon:

Swaggernaut

Sculpt for Ogre Magi Set is done

Haftoof

Man swag, loving that horn weapon. Love how it looks, are you planning to make it just standard horn? Any glow effects/molten to match up with the ogres firey nature?

Swaggernaut

Hey there, thanks for your kind comment . At the moment I think we are just going to use the standard flame that is already there.

Swaggernaut

Quick model of a legion commander ward I thought off the top of my head. Still just a blockout

Swaggernaut

Working on a Naga Set now. Finished the head since I had some free time and wanted to work on the set ASAP. Also main theme of the set is that she has been cursed when she was banished. So I am going to try to fuse the set pieces with the base model as best as i can.

Swaggernaut

Anoher WiP, Might add some more details to the head to match the armor parts

Swaggernaut

Finished the sculpt of an ES set which I am hoping to upload for Jerax from MVP.

Swaggernaut

Just Trying out a new way to present my stuffs :P

riv

oh wow, that ogre magi set looks really cool, love the hairstyles

Swaggernaut

Hey thanks riv!

Here is the finished textures/masks of my earth spirit set

Darren Pinard

That ogre magi set looks like it has a lot of potential.

Your textures could really benefit from some value control. Your yellows and greens and browns all just fade into each other, especially from a zoomed out view.

Greyscale your screenshot in Photoshop and zoom out, you'll see the image just becomes a dark mish mash.
Fixing you values will go a long way for readability.

Swaggernaut

Hey Darren, thanks for the input

I was wondering the same thing because I felt that it didn't contrast too well. I will try to fix it once I get back into it. Sadly, the Ogre set won't be completed because the file has been lost. thanks again though

Swaggernaut

Finished block out for an enchantress set I am doing with variant844:



Also for the Earth Spirit set, I am going to wait until around december time to submit it since I found someone who would like it for their tournament.

Haftoof

Congrats on finding someone with interest swag, also nice team up with those concepts, variant's concept caught my eye when I saw them.

Swaggernaut

Done the textures for the enchantress set, just rigging, masks, and loading screen left!
