Sketchbook: Binxx

Binxx

Started working on a game with some friends, and started to learn some 3d max since the program the guys are using supports it. Hopefully it looks OK

Also I strongly encourage anyone who looks at my work to crit it in anyway possible. Thanks!

Concept image (quick drawing)



First attempt 3d max, used Nils Kosters Typology, since It seemed like he got the most out of his polygons



again first attempt while rigging, however had some difficulty with hand rotation seemed kinda warped.


More refined look for my character, i came up with this concept through 5 other sketches, not sure if it's the best looking one but partners seem to think so, might be a bit too monochromatic though



Working also on the background they wanted to make a forest prop, so i gave em one however its still somewhat incomplete



Thanks for looking at my work and I'll update soon!

Hey man!
I like your 2d stuff. Please post some more.

Fire boss which i shouldn't really be working on since the hero isn't complete yet, just couldn't help myself


Older concept art going to integrate it into the game possibly

Cool stuff, keep it up. I especially like the mock-up stuff, that is fun to look at.

Progress!!, i could put textures untop of it, not sure yet though... having problems with UV texture though =( updates soon.

damn man there's a huge jump in quality between the first and second of your posts. way to psych me out. good job

really cool concept stuff, I love the mood and palette you're using, don't see many games in this range.

Progression had some trouble and needed to twink it a few times, OK! so onto character 2!!! Also i think i should break out of the template i made, for doing things that fit the template polygon, I think it would look a lot better just my lack of experience tells me to try keeping it simple first, then when I do get better I'll be able to do greater things. BTW thank you guys for the Nice comments if, if you see anything you think is incorrect plz plz plz point it out Thanks!

I got some silhouettes i've done last semester which i think i could use for my second character

hey binxx, I meant to reply when I first saw your sketchbook pop up. got busy, though. shit is looking really cool. the cool foreground and warm background in that wide painting is delicious, and your designs are sweet. : ) keep uploading the 3d shit too! you'll get better at it in no time!

Having fun with Uv's started doing Max a bit more =D hopefully they don't look too disappointing heheh its my first attempt ><

looking cool, Binxx. Your painting skills are clearly pretty solid, but it's hard to read with the default lighting, and the really simple geometry. UVmapping isn't too difficult these days with UV Relax, so don't be afraid to add some simple facial features to your head. Also, if you're just painting a diffuse at the moment, a good way of just seeing your texture's progress on the model without the lighting is to open your rendering tab, click on environment, and click on the Ambient swatch. Slide it to white, and you're scene will be shown fullbright in the viewport, which helps make everything more readable in earlier phases.

Really looking forward to what other stuff you have to show!

Edit: By default lighting I mean Max's default lighting. All it does is cast a single light from the camera, so the rims on objects will go super dark.

Some stuff I have worked on recently. I was wondering however, is my edge flow alright? i know I'm suppose to make it squares but I've seen people using triangles... and triangles makes it so much easier.
In addition to this i was wondering if there was anything in brush that could turn my stuff into a bump map or something like that which would make it look high poly even though it was low poly?

Anyways will put lot more stuff this summer

I've been testing out how to make the uv maps more 3 dimentional but its tough but painting over the seams tends to help

Bunny= 582 poly
Ogre = 460 poly
