In order to improve my concept skills and in order to get some ideas going I propose meself with a challenge. Sketch a concept for every hero of the requirements page starting with A as in Alchemist and ending with Z like Witchdoctor. Set time to complete: dont know yet, but i wanna go fast on this as I try to get as much…
I've found Sculptris Pro to be useful for : Blocking out something where I'm not quite sure exactly how I want it. In other words, a quick concept. Once I get the concept how I like, then I retopo and go back to working in a regular subdivision levels workflow. If I already have a concept or am certain of what I'm going to…
New Project - Souvenir Shop - Concept art by Vasili Zorin Souvenir Shop - Is a concept piece for the game Sunset Overdrive, I will be trying my best to capture the look of the concept as well as try and match the game's visuals. Currently i've got my initial block out finished, quite happy with what I have. A concern I…
Great execution. A bit on the busy side with the details everywhere but seems to be true to the concept. You may want to flatten them out value wise in the diffuse to make things less noisy. I found the hipoly easier to look at because of that. The concept has a similar thing going on, the handle in particular. Wasn't…
Based on a concept by Janice Chu, I made this ramen house in 3D. Triscount is about 3600, with a 2k texture set. This is the beauty shot, tried to get the camera angle and fov somewhat similar to the concept. First lighting render test done in maya, making sure I got the shapes right. Texture test in unreal engine,…
Hehe, you just hit the biggest creative stumbling block ever then mate. That point between concept artists idea and your own ideas. Can we see the concept art? atm everyone is giving you C&C based on what we THINK you should do with it. If you already have a specific design set out for you it would help people give C&C on…
The normal map, specifically on the gold, looks very procedural and boring. The concept shows very nice surface detail, pieces of the surface of the blade chipped off, etc. I see almost none of it on the model. The gold even looks like it has a cool web pattern in the concept, try sculpting that in zbrush. Take the noise…
Concept art is your best friend. 3D, with concept art, just becomes a matter of recreating and intepreting reference. And in my opinion, it's easier and faster to draw things for some people than to sketch in 3D. You can test things like silhouette, value schemes, etc. on paper faster than 3D in many cases. Concept art can…
Im not sure how true that is haiasi, my boss likes things done a certain way and if he likes a concept Ive done and its in a certain colour I better damn well stick to the concept in the 3D or he will question me quite harshly as to why I have changed what he has already approved. I dont know how open the brief is on these…
let me just say: great choice of concept and awesome how much traffic and progress this already generated! Makes me wanna join, although I dont have much time right now. A suggestion maybe for the next contest (or extra for this one) would be to make a copy of the finished scene and develop a concept of a variation of it,…
