[DS2] Hammer, irritated1

irritated1

This is a great competition, I love this game and could not resist. Here is a quick concept sculpt for the hammer head.



some kick ass looking weapons so far. good luck to everyone

SouthpawSid

this looks meeaann! I'm interested to see what you do with the rest of the weapon! Nice work!

irritated1

thanks man, here's a rough up of the rest of the hammer and a bit more work on the head.

SouthpawSid

oh my. that is so purty. No crits sorry. Just had to express my liking of this model again.

TaylorMouse

Wooot, loving this one!!

Torch

Wow looks sick dude, great design

TheWinterLord

Thats awesome! really digging whats going on!


Just one thing came into my mind, advice take it or leave it
The way the horns split off and goes in to the middle guy's eyes look a bit weird. I would reshape how the horns pretty much completely to make them go into his eyes more naturally to not make it no seem so forced. (feels like its an after thought right now.)
Well whatever you do good luck in the competition!

irritated1

spent some time reworking the horns and some more general detail around the model, also starting to add some a symmetrical detail.

eazy

this hammer is looking SO HOT. keep it up, man!

Orb

love the design so far, those horns inside the eyes of this the poor guy crying, nice flow!

irritated1

Thanks a lot guys.

I was thinking of calling it "see no evil" but not sure

Other then few minor tweaks I think I'm ready to move on to retopo, baring any issues I'm missing from staring at if for so long



let me know if anything seems wrong or unfinished, I'll look at it with new eyes tomorrow

Myrddraal

wow amazing hammer!! i like how it all flows together

SouthpawSid

that is looking saweeeet! Looking forward to more!

Impala88

this is probably my favorite hammer! looks great. I love how much emotion you've got in the facial expressions.

Maph

This is an amazing design man! Those horns burrowing into the eyes of the middle face are a touch of brilliance imho.

kelli

This is awesome. The design is just great, and so is your sculpting.

fabio brasilien

great work so far!

Blaisoid

damn. it looks equally awesome from every angle.

afisher

That's brutal! Cool design and sculpt

Di$array

Awesome, simply awesome man. I love the way its looks like the demon is grinning from the side view.

mdbn3d

That's pretty awesome! What's the poly count like?

jeebs

looks awesome!! great hammer, keeps me looking at it over and over again..

irritated1

Wow thanks a lot for the comments, I didn't check on this for a day and the thread blew up.

I won't be updating this for a bit, GDC got surprisingly busy for me. I should be back some time next week with the low poly and the beginnings of my texture. I still have no idea what I'm going to color this weapon but here's hoping it comes to me, any suggestions would be great.

Thanks again

POFFINGTON

Killer design! Keep up the progress on this one, I can't wait to see the texture,you could possibly pop out the wraps a bit more as well, so when you bake the normal will be a tad bit stronger.

LeoJr

Damn, that looks sweet! Keep it up!

irritated1

thanks a lot guys. i got hit with some extra freelance stuff and i thought the due date was the 30th. so I've got quite the weekend ahead of me.

here is the low poly with normal and ao. still need to drop the poly count a bit but i wanted to have the normals in place before i started hacking out more tris



now on to texture and continued optimization

wretchedgoat

haha the guy screaming makes me laugh. really dig this one, so brutal

irritated1

thanks for the comment, i was hoping for brutal.

here is a texture wip, still working my way down the hammer and playing with color, any suggestions are welcome

irritated1

here is a shot of a pretty close to final version of the hammer, need to get the glow texture working and maybe tweak the poly count and texture a bit more but its shaping up

Daven

I think you're working with too many color in this one. The warmer colors are working here but the bright red and blue/purple together isn't doing you justice. You also might want to tweak some of the values for your AO. Instead of having everything be black shadowed, try and work in some natural shadow colors.

irritated1

thanks for the feed back man, i adjusted the colors on the eyes and head goo, the dark shadow seem to come from my normal map, i cant get rid of them.

though I'm calling it a night, here's my final submission

SnakeDoctor

Looks nice, I love the warm color scheme.

Serial19

awesome! Love your presentation layout.
