This is amazing!
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.
3 hour still life study on really focused on trying to get reflection down. Used Cad Yellow, Burnt Umber, Alizarin Crimson, Ultramarine Blue, and Titanium White.
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.
Oooh. So much cool.
Currently working on a presentation sheet and funky video for this prop I made. I can now join the 1940s and 50s radio club.
Considering desaturating it a bit for a more vintage look...
477 Polys 512 texture.
Yeah the reference is a photo I found online - google image search or flickr or sumin. Photo is in the center of this lot. (I'm thinking of making a bit of a scene if I have the time).

Thats awesome i have nnever seen anything like that! It looks awesome well done man!
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.
Titus:
American McGee's Alice Knife 1490 Tris: 1024x2048 (Diffuse, Spec, Normal)
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.
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.
VERY VERY work in progress, alot of details missing (the trigger even)

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.
first attempt at both a human head and major sub-D work. I'm not too keen on the results, so I'm robably gonna bring it over to zbrush or sculptris and play around with it.

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:
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
Decided to give Titus S's gun a whirl. Friend wanted to see my sub-d workflow so I'm screen capping the whole thing. If you peeps be interested in a time lapse or something I'll take it to school's campus and edit it down.
I love the texturing on those leaves mik!
I've been trying to get my sculpts to look like they have skin on them, lots more work to do but its 5:35 and I need to go to bed X_X
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...
Pixel, you are a pretty cool guy. Keep em coming. I'd love to see more in this style. Perhaps a baby frankenstein etc. Dig the colors and overall texture/lighting.

This was a fun gun
This is amazing! Did you get the awesome lens flare(esc) like effect with a particle?
Reminds me of the art style from Brink. Any influence there?
Loving it so far, looking forward to more!

Looking great so far man!
I'm calling them "goons" and this camera is awful...
Careful, Ninjas, first reads as "i suck it down!" instead of an upside down "!"
Unless that's what you're going for lol
I was really struggling to make something more stupid and embarrassing than the original.
Cool guyz
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!!
Finished the texture.
I want to build a small diorama and pose him.
@Ninjas, Davision
Sweet.

And one with some Color Grading going on
Sorry for the image spam.

just your bog standard evil baby genius with mind control amplifier ray and hover-pram
might be nice to do this as a sculpt/model at some point too
I'm your fan now.
I guess I should rather put my WIP on the mobile/low-poly thread instead...
Some more progress on the G36c im working on.
ha, small world! you again
