there isn't much time left but we are going in deep, get ready, here comes boundless.

BlackulaDZ · Nov 2009

we're all signed up! concepts on the way soooooooon.

Joshua Stubbles · Nov 2009

Look forward to it

ZacD · Nov 2009

Good luck.

STRIKER · Nov 2009

not much timeeeee!. heres a speedy. going to do another one

BlackulaDZ · Nov 2009

i gave your concept some color

and did a quick sketch of a chain link

more to come soon!

BlackulaDZ · Nov 2009

quick planet concepts:

STRIKER · Nov 2009

Quick Chain link ideas

D R E A M N T · Nov 2009

Alright fellas lets try and get in this.

BlackulaDZ · Nov 2009

them chainz is sexy. i took the rightmost one and did a more detailed concept of it:

striker has an asset list too that we need to finalize

STRIKER · Nov 2009

Asset List

BlackulaDZ · Nov 2009

rock formations!

texture is still a WIP, theres a nasty seam to fix.

BlackulaDZ · Nov 2009

got dem rox in the UDK suckas

STRIKER · Nov 2009

Some W.I.P rocks. These will be the ones that hover in the sky due to the other planets gravitational pull. they are being textured now. any crits?

Chrisis · Nov 2009

I really like your concept, especially the image presented in post #9; it will also translate in 3d much easier, imo. Btw, not sure if it will work with the crazy looking chain you've got, but you might be able to run a physics simulation and get the whole thing placed very accurately and rather quickly. :poly121: Keep it up!

BlackulaDZ · Nov 2009

thanks man, were looking into that physic sim...
here's a planet, very WIP but ingame

D R E A M N T · Nov 2009

Im loving that planet Daph.Good start on it.I think it needs to be a bit rounder.Its slight mishapen-ness gives it the look of a meteor ya know.Other than that though dude keep bussin this kinda stuff out man.We might just make the deadlineghahahahahahahahahh!

Alright let me run threw this really quick for my boys and and the one person that stumbled upon our threadgahahahahah just messin but so far:

#1 - Is just a quick Zbrush sketch of a flatbed rock getting sort of engulfed by the sandy terrain in our scene.Though im not sure if we are still going to go with the sandy/desert like terrain.

#2 - Some rocks I did for the scene.Sculpted in Zbrush and retopo'd in Topogun.Why the smaller one is more polys then the bigger is a mystery to me.So no questions.lol.

#3 - Iv been slowly settling on a chain link and to test its consistency I made an actual chain from the links.

#4 - Trying to push the concept for the link more in photoshop.

BlackulaDZ · Nov 2009

good stuff man.
I've been using that sand texture as a place holder for our terrain, you guys have suggestions of ground types? i was thinking sand and rock or gravel or something. I really like the chain too so far.
alright im still workin on the planet, adding some detail to the textures, and rounding it out.
so we still need buildings and a tree or two and some foliage?

STRIKER · Nov 2009

OK, heres the rest of my rocks with normals and oc untextured. Some of them might not be used. they are very low-poly (250 to 500)

Did a paint over with some of the stuff i made and the teams concepts i used. try to make composition or to spark an idea for one

BlackulaDZ · Nov 2009

i got all our rocks and some terrain into the UDK. all we need are the chains, buildings, and some foliage. it's all coming together, i'm proud of us. more incoming later tonight

STRIKER · Nov 2009

hell yea lets do this shittt!!

BlackulaDZ · Nov 2009

still VERY work in progress.. but update:

and with some post processing... the blur is kind of extreme

STRIKER · Nov 2009

shit is looking good soo far, lets finish blocking it in!
heres a idea im throwing way out there. A speedy
Alien(left)? Human(right)?

D R E A M N T · Nov 2009

Omg this is all so amazing.Were progressing faster than planned.Im loving that screen shot Daph.Pumped me up so good and that idea STRIKER was bomb.We had been looking for a shot and thats one good ass one.LOL!

I got a hand idea on the way fellas and some mountainious-ness comming your way.Lets keep the wheels turning on this one fellas.

p.s. i got one dead tree so far.Lol.

D R E A M N T · Nov 2009

Chugged along quickly tonight.I had a retard idea of putting the polycount emblem as a circle in the middle of the hand so when the hand grasps whatever it is shot at, the circle emblem starts spinning furiously with a glow as the hands begin to drain the life force of whatever victim planet it has come upon.

Oh yea...I also poly painted and sculpted a tree in zbrush.Shits hard man...shits hard.Lol.

STRIKER · Nov 2009

hahah nice shit! i love that idea about the hand, sounded badass!

BlackulaDZ · Nov 2009

i like that hand concept! i deff think we should keep the polycount logo on the hand. that tree looks nice too but the roots look a little flat.

D R E A M N T · Nov 2009

Your definitely right about the flat roots Daph, gotta switch them up when I get a chance.Im glad you guys are feeling the hand though.Lets keep this up fellas.

STRIKER · Nov 2009

blocked the hand out (10 mins) ahahaah love the new zspheres.... lets keep the work flowing :poly142::poly142::poly142::poly142::poly142:

STRIKER · Nov 2009

wanted to get a feel

BlackulaDZ · Nov 2009

I reallllyyy like that, it's a bit too blue for my taste tho. update!

STRIKER · Nov 2009

hahaha yea i know. i just really wanted to do the poly count logo

STRIKER · Nov 2009

made some progress with hand links, still rough. have to add screws and other details. PLz critiq or something.....

divi · Nov 2009

the fingers seem to be a fair bit shorter than they are in the concept. thinner aswell. more feminine actually

D R E A M N T · Nov 2009

I think its coming out really nice.Especially for Zbrush.Though what I am seeing that is a bit off with it.Is that the circle piece that the polycount symbol is resting on.It looks as if its not a piece at all and just merely sculpted into the hand when really it should be a separate piece that has enough lee way from the hand to be able to spin when gathering energy without scratching against the walls of the hand.(If that made any sense at all because I could barely follow whatever the hell I just said).I painted over the image to kind of get what i'm trying to say across easier.

Are you going to make the bottom two pieces that the screw runs threw separately or just like....extrude some of this mesh out and shape it to keep it all one mesh?

Also are the parts circled face up or down I drew and example on what I meant.I just cant tell from the screen cap.My bad.

P.S.
None of this is an attack though i'm sure you know it would make no sense for any of us to attack each other.I mean come on.....we all basically live togetherhahahaha

BlackulaDZ · Nov 2009

I agree with kaiga about the polycount logo piece sitting on a base which is on the hand. also I agree about bulking up the hand a bit, it does look a bit feminine

STRIKER · Nov 2009

yes i agree also. fixing it as im writing. with the screw part for the chain ill see if i can make it perfect in zbrush. if i cant then ill simply retopo then make it in max

STRIKER · Nov 2009

just a small update. fkn school getting in the way a bit... but no more! still needs stuff . top fingers weren't touched yet but their armor claws for piercing hard surfaces

STRIKER · Nov 2009

Heres some assets done and also W.I.P. Planet is done, rocks, and tree trunk

STRIKER · Nov 2009

Master hand done and textured

Titus S · Nov 2009

I LOVE gauntlets

This is looking bad ass, sounds bad ass, and you guys have a bad ass group. Good luck! Keep the strong work flow!

STRIKER · Nov 2009

We put almost everything in so far so we can figure out composition. Still working one them. We still need the mountains, clouds, city, rubble and some extra detail. were only at 160,00 tris so we have a lot of polys to play with

any crits are welcomed

STRIKER · Nov 2009

SCREWS! for the hand to connect to the chains...........crit away

BlackulaDZ · Nov 2009

im gonna shake mah ass

we're almost done.

BlackulaDZ · Nov 2009

in the process of final tweaks!

Em. · Nov 2009

I feel like you could get a lot more color varitation in that metal and it would read a lot better. I'd back down that fog/dof/whatever it is a smidge too. Good luck, keep it up!

STRIKER · Nov 2009

i agree with it be too strong. heres the shot without anything. might add a little of DOF today

STRIKER · Nov 2009

heres a shot with some DOF any comments or critiqs before the deadline would be really appreciated

Chrisis · Nov 2009

That last shot looks good. I actually like the amount of dof in it, but that's just my opinion you know. I'd make that tree follow the strong perspective feeling the scene has. In other words, even though it shouldn't be so in realty, I'd make it point to the planet. Also, before you finalize it, make sure you play with the highlights/midtones in postprocessing. Try make the contrast higher to compensate the dof, and even try sparating those by color (ie make the shadows more blue, the higlghts greener/ cyan-er). Just give it a try if you've got the time.

Unfortunaltely, people are pretty exausted this time around. Whish I could be more helpful myself.

PS MAke the green on the planet strong and also a bit different in color (more yellow-ish maybe) MAybe more grass on the left sde. Darn I need to get some sleep. Good Luck!

STRIKER · Nov 2009

heres the 1st shot without the DOF im going to post another shot with it and tweak it some. i need some opinions on them before we finish!!

STRIKER · Nov 2009

and heres DOF shot any critiqs
