[HP] ~ 3D Sketchbook Thread

Lot's of people have a dedicated thread to dump the models they're working on, and I decided to do the same.

I guess it's better this way, instead of having a loosen thread for every props I might do in the future, plus this will probably serve a self motivation for me!

here's my first piece, nothing major or special, since I'm just getting started on this whole next gen prop modeling stuff, so here we go!

*Thanks to buddy for the help!

In time I will post something decent, I started working on something a little bit more complex this time, so...

Inspired by the Pillar Eat3d tutorial, here's my first try at making a decent high poly mesh on a digital sculpting apps.

I used MudBox, and although I'm not completed satisfied with the results I learn't a lot. nevertheless, i guess this will do just fine for the normal map.

I'll post more screens as I progress on this prop.

Aye Peris, I tottaly agree... After looking at it now, all I see is a pillar that's been under water for 30 years, and hey, maybe I'll try to recreate that!

The tutorial is totally awesome, I bought the Pillar and the Texturing one, and I tell you guys, it's a must for every env artist!

Here it is, finished!

It's not perfect, obviously. But I learn't a lot with it! So I'm confident the next ones will be much better.

Enjoy, and please drop me some feedback!

thanks

Thanks guys, finally some feedback! I appreciate it!

Here's a shitty screengrab of my WIP for STC 27 gameartist.net.

Difuse is done, just gotta make spec and normal.

I'll prolly gonna remove that black plate, as it gives the wall texture quite some contrast, and one tends to note the tile effect on both walls.

I did that render in a hurry, now that I had a little free time, I decided to see if I could come of with something a bit less bland, and here's what I did.

Quote from Buddy

Please learn that not everything is bumpy ie. the yellow/black strip on bottom.

Point taken, I completely agree with you. that normal map was a bit rushed anyways!

Another STC entry.

I was playing with cryengine a bit, and decided to import a prop into the engine.

It was a bit messy installing the plugins, etc etc... But It's a pretty straightforward process once you get used to it.
