Portfolio Project WIP. (1st thread)

ZombieJesus · Aug 2013

Hello i am doing my first thread here on PCF, and i would like to see how this goes. Here is a W.I.P of my portfolio project...actually one third of it. These are basic shots from print screens and quick renders which if this site has a unwritten rule of image types or if you all have awesome ways to show basic renders by all means add that in your reply.

This project is a apartment based piece generally your city apartment with sky view. In my work i tend to spice things up and add items that are a little special. for instance i have over 10 batman referenced items in this scene. Props to who can get them all. A freebie will be that the small shield on a bookcase will be the royal flush gang crest.

I have a lot of cleaning up to do with back faces and edge flows but if anyone has design tips, see's major eye sores, or just hate something i would really love your input as i want to make this as awesome as possible.

O and i have leaves textured to help show whats going on in my Fireplace as it is a poison ivy reference and that fireplace i am seeing as a white marble or stone object.

I see some faceting on some of your objects. Like the cushions on the couch for example. If you don't have a poly limit you could add some to those and other things. Is this going to be put into an engine? Can I get images without the wireframe on please?

Welcome ZombieJesus.

Maybe, try to more evenly distribute your polys / trim down or /add more in some cases.

Embedding the images (using the "Insert Image" icon that looks like a mini yellow landscape) rather than attaching them makes it easier for us to see them without changing screens, although this does require you to host them somewhere online.

so here are 4 non wire frame shots for you Ink hope this works

Raymond thanks for the suggestion for the next 5 week i will definitely be looking into the models cleaning them up and making adjustments so they can be better polished

walker also thanks for the suggestion. next quarter i will actually be making a site so that will be great.

I agree with RMeeks said, for some spacifics the Mad Hatter hat and stand there are some edges you can get rid of and have that smooth edge for the lip that holds the hat. Also the vines you can get rid of some edge loops that are the circumference and still have it be a smooth vines. Just go through and try and optimize the scene without sacraficing the silhouette.

Here is more of my textures being applied to the apartment. Still some side to take care of for the unwrapping but nothing difficult just seeing what looks good where. What textures i can set up perfectly to give nice references like Schreck from Batman Returns. and for the Bookshelf items i feel its a great way to show things that have either Inspired me, deserve tribute, or bring Color to pop out in the more darkened themed room. This apartment has slowly become a vault of my want to pay respect to great comics, books, and characters. Please definitely give feed back on which textures have good appeal so far or whats just GOD AWFUL to look at so i can change accordingly...I feel for instance the curtain looks tacky so i will settle for a egg shell white plastic and keep it simple or a light ash grey since it will blend the room better. That and i feel the walls may need to be toned down.
