    Reminds me of the art style from Brink. Any influence there?
    Loving it so far, looking forward to more!

    Just had to pop out of my toll hole to say I love it.

    I'm wondering about that thing popping out of his neck that looks like the clavicle.
    Is it maybe the omohyoid muscle?
    it doesnt quite like its going towards the right medial anchor point to be the clavicle.
    Figuring out how to put a bulls head on human shoulders and make it look as believable as it does must have been a bitch, and those little inconsistencies are made all the more glaring when its in this surreal style
    just my three pesos.

    Nice Chicken Omnione! lol
    And digging the character/textures Mr Smo!


    Here is something from my WIP THREAD

    Here is my new project.
    I am not really liking where it is right now but it is at least to a point where I am not too embarrassed to show it. I am trying something I have never done before... which is a slightly cartoony hand painted feel. The textures are FAR from done. Most are either first pass textures/ solid colors or not textured at all. No spec maps right now... Only diffuse and normals. The lighting is a rough pass too. I will tweak that when I am done texturing.

    I was made with about 23 modular pieces. It is kinda a lot but it includes a bunch of the small objects that add variation. The layout isn't anything but me just viewing pieces. I placed them in such a way that I could see everything in one go. I will make it more "level-like" when I am done texturing.

    Let me know what you guys think?

    This homemade Kinect mocap stuff is pretty interesting, cool stuff. How responsive is it? It looks like there are some latency issues or is that just because of the video framerate?

    Steven: Fuck that minotaur is great. Best proportions and anatomy. Also, you can't go wrong with a stogie.

    POFFINGTON: Hey man, sadly that's the one bit added as a post effect in photoshop. When I finished the scene, Unreal didn't support bokeh depth-of-field. The new version does, but I can't seem to get the effect working. (I'm thinking my vid card might be too old.) There's no reason a similar, better looking effect could be done in real-time though with the stuff that Crytek and Epic have shown out of GDC.

    Jaythurm: Cool knife. :] The mirroring on the top and bottom of the hilt is a little distracting though. Granted, in a game where a character is holding it all the time, it'd never be a problem. Nice work!

    Jeremiah: that's looking really great. i'm no tile-layer, but the one thing that looks off to me is the corner trim on the tiles that hit the 'ceiling'. I've never seen tiles with a 90 degree concave bend in them. (thats not to say they dont exist.) Great work with the bricks where they fade off into the dirt wall.

    American McGee's Alice Knife

    aliceknifesheet.jpg

    That's one nice knife but damn, what's going on with the topology on the handle?! Hundreds of useless edge loops and it's just messy overall. You could cut the tri count to less than half by cleaning the handle.
  • scotthomer
    felipefrango + 1, the handle topology on that knife is nuts!
    Also, is there a particular reason youve baked out object space normals rather than tangent space normals jaythurm? Still, it looks lovely other than that!

    Ive never used this thread, it actually escaped my notice, (im not very observant) so i thought id put some progress on my work here rather than bumping my own thread with unfinished work.

    The framerate of the video recording is pretty low, there is not much latency but it gets higher the higher the damping is. There is some jittering though and it gets messy when a bone gets hidden. Also, still looking into getting it better setuped in Motion Builder, things like head and feet dont get really tracked currently. But overall its already a lot of fun acting as my own created characters! :)

    who cares about latency. you dont need a realtime feed to capture data.. especially if you're doing it in your living room!

    the only problem except the skinning that I noticed was that the elbow didnt seem to have the same position a lot of times. like when reaching over your head, the skeletal feed was correct, but the data that was inputted to the character didnt get any lower arm rotation or bicep twist going.. maybe just a missmatch because of the test and what not.

    also, you can only mocap in a 2d space right?
    can you walk around, closer and further away from the camera and get that information as well? guess so?..

    yea, there is lot of mismatch going on, when i start the tracking i need to be in a t-pose and when in apply the character to it in Motion Builder it seems i need to have the exact same pose and position to get it match properly, that video was already one of the better matches. Capture is full 3D, that view with me rigged shows also the depth map, so i can move around aslong as im in the view of the camera. Problem is always when bones of me are not seen by the system.

    @Mik2121 - Nice, I love seeing nature in UDK.

    However, I can tell by your material in the material editor that you wasted a TON of uv space!! You should have a 1024 by 512 or something! You coulda had so much more detail for your plant!!

    Oh, no no no. Sorry, I should have been more specific. I used the left side of my texture for that, but I've been working on a couple more natural objects (a shell/mushroom thing and another plant) in the same texture. Right now it's fairly packed, with only a small space for 2 small leaves that I will make later =)

    Here's how the texture is looking now:

    3VYzC.jpg

    s69v9.jpg

    You can see another plant set on the left side, and the blue things in the middle.

    I'm not done with the blue mushroom yet, though.. as right now it looks more like some sort of stone or fossil, or even a shell, than an actual mushroom.

    Anyone, as soon as I get done with the whole texture (ie, probably another small plant set) I will post it here again :P

    Thanks for the comments!

    Well... I'm working on this guy, for my first 3D game, which is aimed to be played by both laptop gamers and desktop gamers, and also be an anime-styled sci-fi 3rd person shooter.

    He'll be there as a rescue-able NPC actually.

    NOTE: as much as I'd like to apply toon shader on this character, but doing so might disappoint me, and other laptop gamers due to the fact that Mobile Intel does not have decent GLSL support...
