Just finished the zbrush phase for this Phantom Lancer set.

AndrewHelenek · Oct 2013

Awwyeaa Motenai!

jettatore · Oct 2013

Yeah that looks great, can't wait to see it in color.

soulstice · Oct 2013

amazing designs motenai! i love the nyx set!

kendmd · Oct 2013

That's looking really beastly. Love seeing high poly sculpts

Soldeus · Oct 2013

Awesome work, what matcap is that? Looks amazing.

motenai · Oct 2013

A quick idea about the colors...not still sure about all of them..

Bernoully · Oct 2013

Looking good, colours and all! I think the cloth wraps under his shoulder plate should be either reddish brown or red. Currently, the ash brown registers as leather.

motenai · Oct 2013

i was actually thinking them as leather at the moment, but indeed i modeled them more like cloth, so i'll probably bring it more to red like you said...thanks for making me notice

Spudnik · Oct 2013

I find that looking at shaded/material view can really give me the wrong idea, maybe try just flat color and see if you can find something that you like. Plus, that way you can compare it directly to the texture on the default parts which I find invaluable.

Coyo.Te · Nov 2013

grats.. that got in quick

SemiColonThree · Nov 2013

bounchfx · Nov 2013

ace work man. love the design and the coins in his pack, haha! Can't wait to see it in game.

motenai · Nov 2013

Some fellow polycounters today on hangout asked me about a action i use to create my cavity maps (or edge detection maps) and if i could share it, so here it is for everyone who is interested.

PHOTOSHOP UTILITIES DOWNLOAD

Once you unzip it you'll have to load it from the Action menu.
There are 3 actions there, the cavity map will be activated by pressing F8 on your normal map layer...be sure to make a copy of the normal map layer cause it will delete the layer at the end of the action...
If you have any problem just let me know

MagnoHusein · Nov 2013

so good man!

GhostDetector · Nov 2013

Thanks, I tested to see what it does and its better than the cavities i get from xNormal. Just wondering, what is the normal overlay used for?

motenai · Nov 2013

The normal Overlay is in case you create a custom normal map with the Xnormal filters for photoshop, or with Ndo 2.0 (or any other normal map creators) and then you want to add it to your current normal map that already has any kind of curvature or so...it's mostly used in case you want to create some roughtness on top of your bakes, scratches, or stuff that you didn't necessarely sculpted before.

pior · Nov 2013

Very nicely done !!

DoubleLeaf · Dec 2013

One of my favorite Workshop artist, keep em coming!

motenai · Dec 2013

I finally finished these 2 swords for Ember Spirit. Go check'em both

The concept was made by Hawf

polarbear · Dec 2013

Impressive!
Would you mind posting ingame pics and maybe your masks? I'd love to know what you did there!

EDIT: I found the ingame gif on the workshop page

Spudnik · Dec 2013

Hmmm, ingame they kinda look a bit too flat and matte, I feel. I can't really put my finger on it, but maybe more contrast in the rock/lava part would help? That part to me, more than the others doesn't do the texture justice in terms of the masks.

motenai · Jan 2014

Just finished the sculpt for this Sniper rifle (or better to say cannon) concepted by Robo...in the process i changed a few things and made it more decorated...

Andumy · Jan 2014
