RAGE art dump - Peter Boehme
polycounter lvl 18
These are some of the models I did for Rage. I spent about three years working on this game, doing a little bit of concepting early on and later modeling character parts. It's been by far the most creative and fun work experience I've had, a thousand smooches to Vitaliy for bringing me up as a freelancer.
To explain the lack of faces and other missing elements, as V mentioned in his post all the bandits and settlers were planned as sets of costume parts that could then be assembled into different characters. All faces were handled inhouse, as was all texturing. Credit goes to the magnificent Ben Olson for (I believe) the majority of concepts that I worked from. Some of the models contain portions of Kenneth Scott's base mesh (hands, feet, and thigh sections).

What's the render set up on the last images?
Great stuff indeed dude.
Long overdue for a dose of the Peppi but damn was it worth it!
Beautiful presentation.
Looks absolutely fantastic!
Now can you get your damn portfolio up online again plz?
:P
Makes me a bit jealous but in a inspirational way... going back to practice now.
I also want to know what you used for renders.
I second this. Those renders are phenomenal. As the work itself is. Thank you very much for sharing - that's some top notch sculpting right there.
Awesome models and renders.
My render setup isn't very glamorous, it's all scanline / light tracer output that I comped together in Photoshop. The material has a fractal noise term in the spec slot (and an inverse copy in the diffuse) to break up some of the larger spaces. There's a skylight and 3 omnis in the scene that can be toggled in layer groups, one for key/fill and one for rim lights. The front omni is at 0.5 intensity, all lights cast shadows and are set to render by layer.
After rendering I split the first of the two outputs into separate layer sets, one for the base and painted-in material colors with the highlight filtered out, then another copy adding that highlight back in with a slight color tint. The second image goes on top (also colored), then there are a few more smallish tweaks like the bloom etc. I hope this clears things up a little..
This /\.
Congrats on the release!
