I'm going back and deleting all of this. Shame on me. Whatevs. The Internet is scary. I don't like the idea of keeping my old art stuff up. It's like an embarrassing childhood photo, but without the nostalgia.

I went back to this today briefly and adjusted the diffuse map to be less colorful. I didn't mess with this one in PS, aside from cropping it and adding the text.

I'm trying to get the hang of lighting things. I'd like to know which way is stronger, or what I could do differently to make it more effective.

Also: the tri count is 978. For what it is, is that too high?

Asmuel

Great stuff man . Tri count on the head is a little high but not extreme, it would be easier to tell from the wires. As long as all the polys are doing something for the silhouette its fine.

BTW, WTF is polyviewer+?

Sayanora

Why did you desaturate it so? It looked much better before

Emil Mujanovic

I'm actually liking the original variation of the 'lowpoly creature head'. There's a whole lot more colour variation and it seems more natural. Though the yellow on the scalp sticks out like a sore thumb. Maybe a desaturated version will sit better with it, similar to the one you have on the second variation.
Great stuff, mate.

Cool, thanks for the input. Here's another version of that, with just the yellow part desaturated.(here).

Here's something I started today...

Here's a low-poly creature head I did. It's lit and rendered in Polyviewer+ (which I just found out about today-- awesome program!), and I screened a heavily blurred contrast-adjusted copy of each render over it in PS to fake a post-bloom (is that kosher?) I was trying to get the lighting to look like those Unreal 3 promo shots of Malcolm.

That's looking great! Maybe a highlight or detail on the eye as it looks hollow/sunken (it has no detail at all on the left).

It's one of these!

I'm going to start it soon, so I'll post some 3d progress of it probably later tonight.

(Deleting some of my old stuff. I guess that's frowned upon, but there were some I really really didn't like.)

That is sexy, fly. Sort of impressionist, and has a lot of feeling.

The body is on its way now too. I painted over it to show what I'm planning to do next. I'm not sure about the best way to go about making the gown.

Ah! Very Akira-esque to me for some odd reason (which is a good thing), I love your work fly, you have your own style! The batman image is top notch too! Cheers

Wow, love that Batman painting. It really gives the feeling that he's from the shadows, and a part of them.

I installed ObjectDock a little while ago. It uses these crispy oversized icons, so I made these two for my dock to fit in with some of the ones it comes with.

I made them at 256x256 "just in case", but I use them as 128s.

I really like your style on these. What prog do you use? PS or Painter?

[Deleted User]

Thanks! I used Photoshop for those.

I'm trying to learn how to do hard surface stuff in ZB. So far, no good. It's easier than it used to be, but I don't have it down yet. Everything is too puffy.

Yeah. Hard surfaces in ZB is something I'd like to get down as well. You got ZB 3.5? Its full of nice tools for that kind of thing. Especially the new Planar and path tools.

Not a bad attempt though. Keep at it

The way the Soft Selection rollout in the command panel breaks the layout was bothering me, so I wrote my first MaxScript. The part where it determines the falloff based on the size of the object was blatantly ripped from a script written by someone else, who I'd credit if I could remember who it was or find the script. Anyway, here's this:

rollout MySSRollout "Soft Selection" width:169 height:79
(
	checkbox Use_ED "ED" pos:[49,7] width:34 height:15
	checkbutton SS_toggle "SS" pos:[8,8] width:37 height:34 enabled:true toolTip:"Use Soft Selection" checked:false
	spinner ED_spnr "" pos:[82,8] width:43 height:16 enabled:true range:[1,300,0] type:#integer
	checkbox chk2 "Backfacing" pos:[49,25] width:84 height:18
	slider sld1 "" pos:[7,48] width:136 height:25 range:[0,100,0]
	button btn2 "x" pos:[147,3] width:17 height:14 toolTip:"close"
	button btnminus "-" pos:[139,50] width:23 height:20
	button btnplus "+" pos:[139,25] width:23 height:20
	on MySSRollout open do
		sld1.Value = selection[1].Falloff
	on Use_ED changed state do
	(
			selection[1].ssUseEdgeDist = Use_ED.state
		)
	on SS_toggle changed state do
		selection[1].useSoftSel = SS_toggle.state
	on ED_spnr changed val do
		selection[1].ssEdgeDist = ED_spnr.Value
	on chk2 changed state do
	(
			selection[1].affectBackfacing = chk2.state
		)
	on sld1 changed val do
		selection[1].Falloff = sld1.Value
	on sld1 buttondown do
	(
			local sliderUpper
	
			bbMax = $.max
	
			bbMin = $.min
	
			bbx = bbMax.x - bbMin.x
	
			bby = bbMax.y - bbMin.y
	
			bbz = bbMax.z - bbMin.z
	
			
	
			if bbx >= bby then sliderUpper = bbx
	
			if bby >= bbz then sliderUpper = bby
	
			if bbz >= bby then sliderUpper = bbz
	
			
	
			sld1.Range = [0, sliderUpper, $.Falloff]
		)
	on btn2 pressed do
	(
			destroyDialog MySSRollout
		)
	on btnminus pressed  do
		selection[1].ButtonOp #ShrinkSelection
	on btnplus pressed  do
		selection[1].ButtonOp #growSelection
)
createDialog MySSrollout style:#(#style_toolwindow)

which makes this:
