The random model thread!

[Bunglo]

I'd really appreciate some crits on this stone sculpt I'm working on. Basically I'm going to create two or three more sculpts similar to this, along with a more rectangular stone that I'll rotate/scale them for variation. They'll be used to constructed a stone wall.

@arhurt:

The muscles look a bit too thin and too flat on the top, they're rather rectangular in overall shape. It also seems like he's ready to fall on his back or on his face (depending on the angle you're looking at) because of his giant arms/upper body combined with his smaller legs/ankles/hooves.

Perhaps a design similar to this one would work better?

Bunglo, I think these will work nicely. The main thing to be concerned, I think, is how much of the information will be transfered to the normal map in a pixel basis. Depending on thew size you want these stones to end up like, I'd say you either are spot on the detail/depth level, or I would push it a little bit more, though with less noise.

As for my horned friend, his design is such that he uses his arms to support the wieight of his shoulders and chest, like a gorilla would. But I have changed his anatomy quite a bit.

Been working on a cloth study in Zbrush/Max. It's been a fun learning process!

This is for a scene I'm working on for a competition, trying out modularity. It's my first dabble in UDK, don't really know how to make things look good yet lol.

Cloth is looking pretty cool.

Just noticed on your blog that you are at Stafford, going there in september my self.

[PogoP]

Ah wicked mate! Doing Games Design? If so, you're joining at a great and interesting time for the uni. I think they're only now starting to really get a grip on how to run the course, it's really coming together.

Oh hey cool a thief level!

[Pomperi]

Cloth looks ace, very nice structure to it. The textures are a bit dark and are eating all the light in your scene. In case you haven't read it already, the official udk documentation has a really good article about this. http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/Lightmas ... 0Lightmass

Cool stuff

Thanks pomperi, Ill take a look tomorrow.

Dux - I've never played a thief game before, is that a compliment? Heh.

Just finished a tutorial for Zbrush.

Sculpting a Realistic Bust in ZBrush

My old man:

He has no right ear I'm afraid, because I fucked up and then Zbrush fucked up.

Quite nice!

For the Symmetry problem, mask the areas you want mirrored and then hit the Smart Resym button under Deformation tab. Go from the lowest subdiv to the highest unless you want to kill your PC.

Awesome sculpt

Been working on a generic wooden chest for my environment scene. First real prop I've done, still needs a specular map!

[tonystockert]

looks really great. the only thing that i can think of to improve it, is that it looks a little too "old world-ly" to have such machine-screw-looking screws holding it together. I think regular old nails would make a little more sense.

also, make the nails/screws a lot more rusted and the wood around them more stained. overall, it looks great though.

[PogoP]

Good idea Tony! I'll look into changing them.
