Sketchbook: Toxic929

Toxic929

Decided to finally create a sketchbook to keep up on my projects instead of blowing up the forum with alot of individual threads. Heres a door I've been working on for my hard-surface modeling class. I've been staring at it quite a bit and adding wear and tear. Give me feedback on if perhaps I need more or something looks goofy? also the bottom door base plate will have detailing I just havent arrived at a process to do it yet but I will include the idea I'm thinking of working on... lemme know what you guys think!

I was working on some wood too, but after seeing yours I think I'll have to give it another go from scratch

Looking awesome!

Hey Thanks MeintevdS! heres the tutorial I've been following for the planks: http://www.philipk.net/tutorials/materials/woodrough/woodrough.html
and heres what I'm turning in for the class final:

Blaisoid

it seems that metal parts are going through the stone, door sticks to arch too closely.
other than that it looks really good.

Toxic929

Thats a very good catch I shall definitely fix that before it goes final! thank you!

allmighty_thunder

Heres the concept by Ecks_I:



And heres where I'm at thus far:

I did a drawing a long time ago with a gargoyle carrying away a guy. I redrew it and designed the gargoyle and now I'm trying to sculpt it out.

More work on the gargoyle (or I supose he would be a grotesque being that he doesnt have a spout.

going back and fixing a few of my old works...

Can't Sleep.... Decided to sculpt more like I should be doing. This idea stems from a butler character I have in my head (probably inspired by Woodhouse from Archer) anyways he tends to the house and has all sorts of things go wrong all the time

retopologized and learning FiberMesh. Its not easy and I fight with the grooming but hey what comes easy at first? Next step to projection paint his skin then import everything into maya and try my luck at rendering it there.

Toxic929

Finally got some shading on this thing. hair isn't exactly how I imagined it yet. It self shadows too much. If anyone knows a better fix for hair in Maya lemme know! The texture is a rough and his mouth.. well doesnt open haha eventually that will be fixed.. or not... because I wun need it to.

I got a nice work flow for hair from Zbrush to Maya. Once you export the curves out as a maya scene (.ma) then follow this tutorial to get the hair on there: http://poly-face.com/Maya_Tutorial_Maya_Hair_-_How_to_Easy_Make_Hair_in_Maya_part_1

Here's the concept I've done for this:

blazing_mojo

woah nice stuff very inspiring

Toxic929

Thank you a ton! glad my work has stuck out!

Toxic929

getting the hang of Fibermesh. the Groomhairtoss has been my primary grooming tool however I tried it with long hair and its just a mangled mess! The feedback on this one was that this hairstyle doesnt quite work for his desgn. so working on long hair it is, however I like the facial hair.. just need to add stubble.

holy crap I'm way behind on posting on this thing. So here's a character I did for a short film SOAR (you can check out more at www.soarfilm.com) He was modeled mainly in Maya and Zbrush then textured in Mudbox and Photoshop.om:

I updated the Angela Gossow sculpture a touch. Her belt needs to change and the whole base needs a rework.

Oh I almost forgot. I started watching Hossein Diba's amazing tutorial on sculpting hair grooming George Clooney and decided to work on my own. I came across pictures of this asian model named Zhao Lei and deicided to try my hand at him
