Jessica Dinh

Graze

Thanks guys here is a painting i did in photoshop. This is my hero, m.c.escher. Hope you like it

Santhem

I like the painting alot, good work. I especially like the expression you got on his face, around the eyes and mouth.

Two minor suggestions:
- Id cut the green in the hair down a little bit.
- the beard looks a little odd around the edges

Jessica Dinh

Nice painting! Now I'm excited about the textures you will come up with for your boxer.

Graze

Santhem: thanks alot man. yeah i actualy left the hair for artistic choice, might have to go in and change that though.

Jessica Dinh: well ive just baked out the highpoly now and fixing the nasty areas in the NM and AO, updates soon

Here is some sketches i just did of the madhatter to warm up. Ive recorded a video and will post up a link to that shortly

Graze

Ok so here is the lowpoly bake for rocky, im pretty happy with the results but i still have some cleanup on the NM and AO map. He is just under 6500 tris. Diffuse time

Graze

Well here is a character im working on right now for a uni project, hes going to be the main character for our game marbles. hope you like it.

Graze

Here is a character i just finished, hes called stoick and hes from how to train your dragon. I still have work to do on him, he needs weapons, an environment and a dragon to face hopefully ill have it done by the end of the week. 778tris in total, 256 diffuse and spec map. More updates shortly

Graze

Here is a sculpt ive been working on, its based of the design from god of war 3.

Graze

Well here is the little dragon im making for the lowpoly environment. 701 tris, 256x256 diffuse and spec. still gota fix the specmap and rig him.

Shiv

you are a machine dude, nice
Is it possible for you describe how you go about creating the textures?

Graze

Shiv: Yeah sure

Well i starting in Max making the lowpoly model (nothing fancy there) i then exported the lowres mesh into Zbrush. From there i subdivided the mesh a bunch of times but with smt turned off, its in the geometry pallette it stops the mesh from smoothing so when i eventually bake the mesh itll match my lowpoly perfectly because the mesh wasnt changed from its original state. Then i started polypainting on a single layer, may seem unpractical but i worked alot faster not worrying about what lyer is on what, i just painted colour straight in and had a blast once i was finshed texturing it i exported the highres version ready to bake the texture from. I spent some time unwrapping the character, just to try get the most out of it, straightening edges, trying to do as much mirroring as possible sometimes even turning it into quaters. When i baked it i took it into photoshop and did some colour corrections, added some hsadows and highlights and then made a spec map. hope it helped if there is anymore interest on this topic ill do some video tutorials to show you more indepth.

Here is a screenshot of the character from ZB

Graze

Well its been a while since i last updated but here is Oswald, i think im gonig to leave the Diffse map now and start working on the Spec map. This is just a printscreen with no fancy lighting or postproccessing, just the raw model and textures. Any crits would be great cheers

Graze

Here are Some closeups.

SoulWind

Great work G, and congrats on being moved to Pimpin and Previews. See you in the lab!

Graze

SoulWind, im confussed, it said my thread moved... weird anyhoo here is a model im making atm alongside many other projects, im trying to make a realistic head bust of a builder just to push myself. sculpt is alsmot done now, he needs a set of teeth and throat, the straps round for the hat and some stiching o the yellow jacket thing that they wear
