Making a new thread to act as a journal for my personal work. I haven't worked on my own stuff for quite a while, but I'm hoping this thread will keep me on track.


-----
Here's something I started today. It's sort of an animated chair that moves around and attacks things. I'm contemplating having the cushions open up to reveal a mouth, but we'll see. The legs are just about finished HP-wise, and I also made a test animation to see if my idea was working.

That is really cool I love the , i would defiantly add the buttons to the back of the chair i feel that would add a lot to the piece, also some definition to the arms like adding the wood bits (your prlly planning on doing this lol)
But i love the concept and the movement!

Segreto

Hey thanks man, yeah, I'm planning on adding all those details eventually!

Here's a small update. Rough/Draft sculpt of the front filigree, mostly just planning out their flow and such.

Segreto

Had the chance to work on this a little more, so one final update for the night.

Segreto

Wow, its been awhile since I've updated. After a hiatus, I've been working on the chair again. Here's an update. I'm at the point of adding in small details.

NateMasterFlash

Sculpt is looking great so far!  The undersides of the armrests seem a little off to me.  Either too big or droopy to match to the fancy trim.  I look forward to seeing more.

Segreto

Hey thanks! I see what you mean about the droopiness, I was trying to go for a worn out look, but I think I'll tighten those up a bit on the next pass.

This looks like it would be right at home in my favorite game Eternal Darkness.

Such a nice sculpt!

esanany

Looooving this!!! Sick shapes and swirls, awesome idea!

DavidCruz

Really nice mat and details, something came to me idk if anyone mentioned it but maybe a shiny part at the ends of the arm rest to become eyes? at the swirl tip ends of the arm rest near the mouth.

Tzur_H

That's looking great :]  What's your workflow when it comes to creating all of these swirls? Just straight up sculpting or using something like curve brushes to lay down initial geo and then proceed from there?

Rodioka

It looks very cool. Can't wait to see the more 

Segreto

Hey thanks for the comments everyone!

@DavidCruz - I've thought about doing eyes there yeah, I think on the next pass I'll try it out to see!

@Tzur_H - I'm generating very simple base meshes in Max, then just straight up sculpting it to get the basic swirls shapes in, and then fixing the topology with ZRemesher so I get even polys and no weird tweaks. I end up doing that a couple times before I settle on a design I like.

Segreto

Just a small update, getting back to work on the chair after a busy work schedule.

I think I'm finished sculpting the bottom.

Segreto

Small update today, starting to work on the upholstery more. Not completely happy with the armrest, but I'll get there.

Segreto

Hey all,

Made some more progress on this. Finally finished the sculpting, and touched up the old rig I made for it to make sure I'm still on track with what I want to do with it. Ran through a quick and dirty walk cycle as a test. Next on the agenda are the lp and textures.

Segreto

Long time since I've updated, but I finally finished this thing. Here's some renders and a couple gifs.

LSheridan

Awesome

This is what I expect all chairs at antique shops to do when I approach them.

Segreto

Thanks!

Here's a start on my next model. The Gibbering Mouther is one of my favorite D&D monsters. I've been thinking of making something that will present a unique rigging challenge, so I hope to learn a lot on this one. Once I get all the mouths and eyes in I'll take it into ZB.

Segreto

Had an idea for another model, so I started on it. I'll put the gibbering mouther on hold for a bit...

Segreto

Small update, started working on the mouth area.

lotet

that chair is really cool

Segreto

Messing around with a new model.

Segreto

Went back to the book for a bit. Here's a wip on the rig, as well as the latest textures.

MarcoAntonio

Nice book!! Which renderer are you using? The third render needs some ambient occlusion.

Segreto

Thanks! These were captured in sketchfab. Yeah I agree, I may move over to Toolbag and play around with that at some point.

Did this as a quick project over the holiday break.

Segreto

Small weekend project for fun, based on a picture of a chair I saw on the web:

Been waaay too long since I've posted. Here's what I've been up to on my personal work for practice.

Segreto

Reworking a project I messed around with from last year for the Retrogasm contest. Gonna try and actually finish the thing but hoping to make it better than its original pass.

Segreto

Pretty rough still but some progress on the torso, and blocking in the wings.

Segreto

Got a new guy I'm working on, going to see if I can get it done during the holiday break.

Segreto

Just about done with the high poly,

Segreto

Sculpt done, gonna start working on the low poly and textures.

Brian "Panda" Choi

I dig the skin treatement

Segreto

Thanks!

Here's an update on the textures so far. Eyes aren't quite blending in well enough with the eye sockets, I think I may go back and edit at some point.

Segreto

Few more shots from Painter.

Segreto

Some progress on this guy. Decided to just skip the body and do a head piece with it so maybe I'll finish it.

Segreto

Started sculpting some armor for this guy on a whim. Think I'm going to go for a skeleton warrior/king vibe.
