[WIP] Survival-Horror Assets

mbullister

The target is a third-person survival horror project in UDK.

Orthos:

I followed these religiously for the base mesh, but started favoring photo reference more when I started sculpting.



I'm pretty much a newbie with sculpting, so any crits about technique or workflow are just as welcome as anatomy/design, especially as I move forward.

I'm going to try and post some props and other stuff for critique in a couple days, as well as progress and whatever changes are recommended here.

Cheers.

I'm really interested by a third person camera in UDK (unfortunatly, i'm not a coder), it would be very nice if you give me your code (but I understand that you want to keep your work for you) ^^

Btw very nice start, it's an awesome sculpt and sketch ! :O

This is comin along really nicely. I'm very interested in what props you'll come up with. Best of luck to you!

I hope he doesn't mind me jumping in to respond quickly (I'm one of the people working on the mod)...

I believe in the August update of the UDK they updated documentation on cameras which included some unrealscript and code snippets for creating a third person camera.

I'll try to see if we can get more updates going.

Oh no, awkwardly large images!





Critiques on accuracy are totally welcome.



All the textures are hand-painted/baked out and made at double resolution in case we need to get really close for cutscenes or whathaveyou.



I took a short break to from character work today to build the flashlight-- I'm still struggling with getting a convincing metal finish on it, so I'll revisit that the next time I want to switch gears.



Please tell me what you think!

Cap Hotkill

I think it looks good!, you could put more time on the specular of your flashlight, it looks a bit too shinny.. but good stuff over all

vofff

interesting to see all things comes together later.

Jungsik

Oo great link !! and good stuff ^^

Smash

very neat and tidy!
I agree a little with Cap Hotkill with the flash light at the front its quite bright, but then again it still looks pretty nice.

Hey, looks like a great start. I really dig the 1911.

It occurs to me that you could have doubled up the UVs for the 1911's wood grips. I was going to suggest the same for the shotgun but I realized since you don't have separate (or cut-out) grip plates you may have ended up with a seam. The handguns grips however are a perfect candidate.

The guns look a little long. Is that a matter of FOV on your camera? I see that on a lot of guns on PC and figure it's often a matter of the camera.

Nonetheless, your guns look great. I've seen both of these guns close up in real life and you've absolutely captured the details.

Thanks a lot! I put some polishing marks on the grips where the fingers would sit, but I agree that it's probably not worth the UV space, especially since it won't be visible when it's being held. I'll mirror that part, and use the free space to make the insides look better when the slide is locked back.

UDK's skeletal mesh editor does have some distortion, so that could be the culprit. Here's a side view out of max, if that helps:



Thanks for the feedback, everyone! Updates coming soon.

Looks spot on to me.

Looking good so far, especially like the 1911.

Costume & color drafts. Going to try to start sculpting again later today.

small update

Rough draft of the coat-- going to retopo this and do versions with and without backpack straps.

POFFINGTON

I am really digging the character design of this. Good choice on the red. All the assest are excellent as well. Keep up the good work!

CactusFantastico

everything in this thread is amazing. inspirational to say the least

PatrickL

Love the concepts and the models. Going to watch this one and see where it goes!

Base

This is some wonderful stuff. The UV Layouts strike me as very impressive (maybe it's just because I'm inexperienced with really good UV layouts, but how economical and precise you are with it is awe-inspiring). Already beginning to get the mood of the game just from these models! Can't wait to see more!

Taylor Hood

Brilliant textures on the assets.
Nice.

Shiniku

I LOVE those concept drawings. Beautiful! And good execution on the models too.

ajr2764

I love the style of your concept work and the coat is well executed so far looks very convincing.
