LATEST UPDATE:

(WIP charachter)


Hi polycount!

I thought it be about time for me to make a thread for my work here.
I'm working on a small scene where a dinosaur chases a man on a motorcycle.
I will keep the environment simple as I want to focus on the character, motorcycle and the dinosaur.

Feel free to follow my progress and please come with feedback!

Im not sure how to set up the scene yet, please come with tips on props etc to use

This is looking great so far man, nice work! I'm not sure if you are using marmoset and your skin shader normal smoothing is turned up too high, but it looks like the skin details on your dino are getting washed out a lot. I think the diffuse could use a bit more contrast as well. Overall looking great so far tho, looking forward to seeing more!

Mawcos

Nice! I think you nailed the ground material pretty good, although it may be a little lowres compared to the dino and the bike.

Really digging this! You should play around with the roughness/metallic some more on these cause they all look like one big soft plastic chunk to me right now, I think that would make the bike and t-rex pop out more from each other.

I know you said you didn't want to focus too much time on the environment but in my opinion I think you should, everything is looking pretty good already and I think if you don't put a little more time into the mud/grass it'll bring the quality of the piece as whole. Make it feel really organic!

Another, thing, t-rex tracks!

Thanks alot guys! it's really heartwarming to hear you like it
and thanks for your helpful replys!

perheps increasing the UV size of the ground will help, making the texture smaller

Maybe I should rethink and work on the enviroment a bit more. I will look over the gloss maps to, using metallic workflow btw. dino tracks will come thanks for the feedback!

close ups on the bike:



its kinda shitty lighting but it will do for now.

The whole diorama looks sick! perhaps look make some of the wounds like they are older than the others.

Ha i was bored lol

Man that's wicked, love the armored scales on the trex. Honestly my favorite bit is the grass at the moment and how it handles the light haha. Good work!

osed

thanks for the good words all!

updated the T-rex material after feedback, I think Im on the right track now?

xChris

I definitely get that dryness from the skin now, awesome!

osed

Thanks!
okay, so I have started to "port" the scene to UE4 due to a more ambitious environment
In the mean time, here's a low-res version ( with some material error due to compression) in marmoset viewer:

osed

for those who wonder what Im been upto for the last week. I have been out and taking photos for my texture library, taking up alot of time. But I have also been testing out UE4, trying to get more comfortable with it. For what I can say so far, I think I go back to my original plan and continue with the diorama instead of building a bigger environment. Most due to time
Btw, here's some eyes on my T-rex! (toolbags new fog is awesome! )

Joost

Amazing, love that t-rex!
Bike is cool but the dirt on the wheels could be improved a bit

Ged

so cool keep at it !

almighty_gir

Glad you like the new fog! I'd say it's a little heavy handed right now though, when the full scene is done and the you have the bike riding away from him, it would be super awesome to see a spotlight in the fog and stuff though, can't wait!

osed

thanks guys!

@Joost : yea, the wheel UV's are tiled 4 time on each side, so I didnt want the dirt tiling to be visible. but you're right, it looks kinda messy right now

@almighty_gir : hehe ye I cranked up the fog volume now just for testing

Sparr

I think your t.rex's toes are too curled. Try extending them out to a 'neutral' position. You can look at large birds like an emu or cassowary for some reference.

osed

Thanks for your feedback sparr! honestly that has bothered me to, If you taking about the foot thats lifted, the dinos left one?

Sparr

Yeah the lifted foot, flat one looks fine.

osed

testing out a new turntable for funsiez

will begin working on the charachter soon.

thanks! that means a lot

osed

I have started doodle a face in zbrush, I have next to no experience at all with faces so I would love you feedback!



don't be afraid to come with harsh feedback, that is exactly what I need now.

osed

sorry for the slow progress, I have not had a chance to work the last week or so. But here some minor progress on the character, nothing is set in stone jet so please come with feedback!

3dReaper

Looks great!

I don't know why but I want to see the T-Rex ride the motorcycle for some reason. It looks like he is running to it and trying to get on.

amirabd2130

really awesome job

cubitstudios

Slow progress is fine, as long as it's meaningful progress, right? (that's my excuse anyway).

osed

Thanks alot guys!

I just finished the sculpt on the leather jacket, I will overlay some leather textures on the normal map when I have the lowpoly baked and ready.



all sort od feedback is welcome

osed

another wip image, the shirt and the pants are very much in progress atm.
I found that it was harder than I thought to sculpt cloth.
Don't hesitate to drop a comment

osed

spend a little more time on the culpt today.
I'm not sure about the pants yet, any advice is much appreciated.
