Old portion bowl

Maxilator · Aug 2015

Hi, started working on this, It's some kind of potion bowl or something I thought up, its still in a pretty early stage but some feedback would still be appreciated! Cheers!

Here are some progress!

Maxilator · Aug 2015

Added some stuff, direction is still welcome!

Some Details to the Feet please

Maxilator · Aug 2015

Yeah, I'm working on them, though most things I try to do end up looking pretty weird, I'm going to try adding some sculpted fur because I saw some other old furniture doing that, I'll post again when I have something that works!

Hare is what I did, how do you feel about this? it's still pretty rough but I'll go over it again when I feel comfortable with the shape.

Tweaked the face as well

Bartalon · Aug 2015

I like what you've done with the face, you really brought it around with the sharp/flat contours. Kind of resembles the Hugh Jackman Wolverine

Maxilator · Aug 2015

Thanks! Now that you say it, yeah, there is definitely a resemblance! :P

So I retopologized and did all that stuff and I'm currently playing around with materials and this is what I have so far. I'm not really sure how I feel about it, I mostly think that the copper is a bit monotone and maybe I should introduce another material to break up the monotony, what do you think? (I'm aware that the leave planes needs transparency)

The Sculpt looks cool

Im not so sure if the overall composition work together well.
Maybe try some different Materials?

MephistonX · Aug 2015

It's looking good but i would put a few more loops in the legs as the silhouette is looking blocky there

and as far as Gazu was saying about the composition - it would be great to have some potion brewing in there, with some nice particle effects etc...

Maxilator · Aug 2015

I'll work on adding another material, I think it will solve the kinks quite a bit. The potion thing I have thought about adding and i think it will happen though ill make it like a mesh, I saw someone posted something like that on artstation and it looked really awesome! About adding a loop i'm not sure, I have been working all day on reducing the polycount since the original retopo had something like 13k tris, I managed to get it down to 6,5k wich is more resonable I would say. What do you think, Is another loop justified at that polycount?

Maxilator · Aug 2015

Update on the material situation, added a second metal on the details and played around with different combinations and this is the best I managed to do so far. I think it's a little better though there is something that doesn't click, not sure what it is... Suggestions are welcome!

Bartalon · Aug 2015

I think the metal is blending in too much with the color of the stone. A brighter type of metal like semi-polished gold, copper, bronze, brass etc. may help accentuate the piece, or perhaps the stone is just a bit too shiny. You will also want a pretty decent lighting setup to really show off the metal surfaces.

Maxilator · Aug 2015

Yes, I'm just printing from ddo now, thanks for the tips, I'll try it out!

Maxilator · Aug 2015

Adjusted the materials more like how you said, I think it's starting to work better now might need some further tweaking.

the last pic looks really nice.
I love the metals but I think the stone needs more love

Jup, I'm going to hop on that today, I didn't give it much love except the base in ddo. Today I'm going to throw it into substance painter and give it some leaking copper oxidation, not too much but enough to make the stone look like it has been sitting in the metal for quite a while.

Maxilator · Aug 2015

Okay here we go, I made some leaking copper oxidation as I said on the stone, I think it works pretty well even though it's subtle. I didn't want to do too much as the rest of the copper doesn't have that much oxidation, I also added some AO for the rock. What do you think? is there anything that rubs you the wrong way?

That looks great! Very Far Cry 4
