[portfolio] - Bert Ruiter // and latest work

BertR

Hello fellow Polycounters

My name is Bert Ruiter, I'm from the Netherlands.

At least I've managed to create a reasonable portfolio site. I'd love to hear crits and / or tips of you guys.

I'm graduating this year, and hoping to participate NHTV visual artist (Breda, Holland) study. If I'm not succeeding in that, I might try to get a job somewhere in the 3d gamingindustry.

Also I'll be posting my latest works in this threat.

Thanks and advance

BertR

I've changed the home / index page. The items are now way bigger and brighter. Also the background is brightned up a little...

At the moment I'm busy with a Colt SAA model. Current wip is here:


Again, crits are apreciated

If this is a high-poly, and if it's used to bake a normal map from later on you should really soften up the edges.



And funny thing, I'm an intern at 4sight at the moment

BertR

Yea you're right about those edges. I forget that sometimes, thanks for reminding ^^
I remember your work. Also GLU student, right?

Free_Fall

Sure am

Also the front part of your cylinder seem to have a weird bend to it at the barrel side though it should be flat

BertR

Well there are many types and slightly different models. The one that i use for reference does have that bending, if that was what you mean :

Free_Fall

Okay you got me Now gogo soften dem edges :v

Finished today my assessment for my (I hope so) next college. Instruction is to make a render of a toy.. Had a hard time choosing one (wanted to do a Gameboy Color first), but I went for a wooden train set (BRIO).
I think it looks nice, although it is a pretty simple model (don't hope that will be a problem).
Has anyone experience with this school? Any tips or crits are welcome

BertR

So I've started on something new, for practicing baking and texturing skills. This is the concept, sadly couldn't find the author of it:



And here's my progress so far:


[Edit: concept artist ]

sltrOlsson

Ah, what a concept! Knife looks good.

Look what I found http://conceptartworld.com/?p=10723

BertR

Ah thanks! Havent't thought of that before but I should have used google image search ^^

Drav

Middle section needs to be wider and chunkier to be as cool as the concept.

Good wires tho, should look cool when baked

Rednaz

Hi there, you have some nice stuff:p the render of the toys looks really nice.
Im finishing up my first year @ NHTV so pm me if you have any questions

BertR

So it's been a while... Have been very busy with work and exams (graduated ^^). I've created the textures for the knife, which are still w.i.p., still needs some adjustments. Wanted to show them though, maybe some early crits or tips could come in handy!

@Drav - Middlesection (ricasso it's called or so I've heard) is a little bit wider now

@Rednaz - Thanks, have been accepted at NHTV so probably see you next year ^^



Also one with blood, for some more colour variation

BertR

I'll call it done for so far...
