Hello to everyone in polycount

My name is Anton, I've only just joined this forum so I can share my works with everyone and hopefully get some feedback to help me out.

I've been working on a personal project and I would love to share my progress with all of you. This model is a pair of night vision goggles ispired by the design of the Eyeclops goggles : http://tipsfamilia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/eyeclops-night-vision1.jpg

I have no idea if these are even real nv goggles or just a novelty toy, but I just think they look awesome, so I decided to make my own version of them.

Here I have the highpoly model that I will use to bake the detail into the game mesh. It's still WIP so feel free to post any suggestions or critiques. Any comments are more than welcome.

Thank you
-Anton

Hello Polycount

,

Today I want to share with you a new character model I created for Lukewarm Media's upcoming "Primal Carnage" title. This on is a "Pyro" character class somewhat like the one in TF2 but with a different attitude. Eventually this character will also have a flamethrower as his main weapon, for now it's just whiskey :P I hope you all like it. Thank you.

7461 Tris, 2048 textures for head and body

Hi antonkoz, clean model and nice textures on those night vision goggles. I only got one critique, the tip of the tapered eye piece(cylindrical pieces) is slightly distorted and I saw a video(racer445 tutorials) on how to fix those distortion by shift + smudging the problem areas in photoshop. I believe the distortion is caused by the cage not properly set up.

Thanks hostilis for the comment, I will look into that tutorial. I do actually have a method of fixing it, which involves breaking the model up, so it forces the rays to project straight out, but maybe this guy has a less destructive method, so Thanks very much for the reference

Hello everyone at Polycount. I wanted to share another character with you guys, I hope you like it. I did this one for a friend, based on a concept from Fernando Olivera at Ferol Creations http://www.ferolcreations.com/ for a small game project he is working on.

Modeled Highpoly in Zbrush, Lowpoly (5520 tris) in Maya; Baked with xNormal; Textured in Photoshop and presented in Marmoset toolbag

Hope you guys like what I came up with Thank you

Such beautiful sculpting on the cloth detail, it's a shame that none of it can be seen on the textures. I really would go with a lighter color scheme that showed off all the detail. I think as long as you keep the materials defined as they are now, it wouldn't get all that busy.

antonkoz · Feb 2011

Thanks Razgriz, you are right the texture is much too dark on the cloth. So I wen ahead and made it lighter. I hope this is better:

Thank you

Hi all, here is a new addition to my Sketchbook: Flying Genie Head, modeled all in Zbrush (apart from the feather, used maya hair for that, couldn't figure out a way to make it in Zbrush) also textured with polypaint and then photoshoped several passes including the smoke and flares etc.

I hope you all like it, let me know what you think Thank you

Hamish Bode · Jun 2011

Looking good Anton! Is the smoke done in post? Or do you actually have planes for those?

antonkoz · Jun 2011

Thanks Hamish

Post, just for looks, I added it in photoshop.

That genie head is sweet! How much post is on the jewel?

Bruno Afonseca · Jun 2011

GREAT STUFF
I LOVE YOU

antonkoz · Jun 2011

Thanks guys

fonfa, you make me blush.

@uohm: The jewel has transparency as post otherwise it's composited from different passes rendered out of zbrush

Hey guys, I've been out of touch for a while now but I found some free time to do a model for myself, so I made this roman guy here. I tried to recreate the likeness of Lucius Vorenus from HBO's Rome as best I could, I might not have been that successful this time around, but I learned a lot and I hope my next character will be better

Hope everyone likes what I came up with. Thank you.

Hey Anton, nice job on the roman soldier, I instantly recognized him as Lucius Vorenus! I think the likeness is quite good, but the open mouth slightly lets it down. The untextured version with the closed mouth looks a lot more recognizable. Perhaps you could upload some close ups of his face without helmet but with his mouth closed?

antonkoz · May 2013

Hey Bolt

Thanks a lot for your comments, I'm really sorry to take so long to respond, been a crazy week. I hope yours has been nice

I'm really stoked to hear that you were able to recognize him, likenesses have always been a huge challenge for me, so Im glad to know I'm improving. I edited my post and added a textured version with him without a helmet and closed mouth, no pose though hope that's ok. Thanks again for your reply, really makes me feel good to hear that people enjoy my works, hope I will be able to post a lot more in the future.
