how's my shit? I finally learn how to normal map

>>261920
looks like shit....

Gonna texture this old model from two years ago.. Though I'm pondering whether I should rework some areas of the model and rebake it.

testing vray sun and sky for interior lighting

Sup niggas I was hopin you guys could teach me how to make 2D sprites for particle effects yo cause the internet aint helping me none today

na meen man?

I give a challenge to all of /3/

make something look claymated

>>261923
I didn't know you hung out here.

>>261920
now just learn ho to UV and I want want to hit you in the face.

>>261923

great job, you've created the world's three millionth completely average model of a MAC-10.

why don't you try doing something constructive instead of utterly masturbatory?

>>261916
At least add a version number to it... Make it Ver.26 or something

>>261943
this
you should do the world's three millionth completely average model of an alien or

world's three millionth completely average model of human body

>>261957
You could say this about literally any subject on earth. There are no original ideas left in man.

why not 10 000 if we are at it ?
Just model it 5x and do it well each time.
Making 1000 half assed models wont make you any better.
>>261962
just fuck off back to your /b/

Why are /3/ and /ic/ always so mad

>>261983
they arent, just the mads stand out the most and make the most noise

I gotta redo some of these weights...

/3/ at it's best. helpful criticism since never.

I posted just the handle in the last thread, I kept trying to make the blade look right, for hours (fucking noob) and gave up for now, untill I learn what I need to in order to do it correctly. I just said fuck it and made a shitty blade. Also, first time I have gotten depth of field working, thats why there is a shitty random sphere. I modeled that sphere too, it took about 8 hours, I just started with a line and then added verts to make a circle. After that I made tons of clones on each side using my working pivot scaling them down so that I got a gradual curve of a sphere, next I connected the edges one by one and them added a red texture so it looked real.

>>262012
the actual blade itself looks mediocre, but it still looks like a blade. you need to put some specular and a reflection map onto it so it'l looks right. it just looks like a paper blade now.

plus rework the textures, they look too bland. put some scuffs on the handle and put some scratches onto the blade itself.

>>262016
To be honest I just shoved a preset onto my blade, I have not even attempted to actually texture any of this, just wanted something to show for this thread. But I will, once I learn more.

>>261920
The texture looks too low res and the mesh looks way too blocky. The texture also doesn't align property and flow correctly into the sides.

>>262012
>I modeled that sphere too, it took about 8 hours

Not to be a dick but 8 hours is way too much time for a sphere model. Pic related, probably took me about an hour / hour 10 minutes to model (not including setting up references obviously)

>>262029
I know, my first try took about three months to get it right

>>262029
wait....modelling a sphere? why not use a pre-set sphere? or better yet, morph a cube into a sphere to improve topology...why model it?

>>262031
3Ds Max doesnt have pre-set shapes. It only has nurbs. I once made a perfect sphere out of nurbs. The reason to model a sphere is that you get a better smoother look, then I add stuff later in Zbrush

>>262033
which version are you using? because as far as i'm concerned it has pre-set shapes.

>>262040

Protip you are retarded they are trolling and/or joking around.

>>262040
you cant be fucking serious

Thanks very much.

Doing a simple F-22 Raptor for my Uni assignment.

>>261942
how did you do it?

>>262029
OMG! HOW DO YOU DO IT??

You actualy made a sphere??? out of references pics???

That's amazing!!!

>>262040
actually that wasnt me, I don't know why anyone was actually having a serious conversation with my bullshit.

This is the first thing I've modeled outside of a tutorial
104 faces
Learning about texturing and whatnot now

>>262172

1: make bigger picture
2: make wires on.

>>262174
Oh wait, this was before I fixed a bunch of shit
Looks like I forgot to save
Let me just fix things and I'll take some new screenshots

slow progress, I gotta figure out how to use lights to get some shadows.

>>262097
Could you be more specific? I put some references together and modelled her out of a cube. Having trouble deciding how to do the hair though.

>>262098
Thanks, practice makes perfect, trust me I wasn't always this good.

Lamborghini Reventon for seminar project.
Modeling the interior next.

>>262207
looks like shit

>>262206
it's very good, it look a lot like her, any tuto from you please ?

>>262096

>>262206
wow, looks really nice

any chance you could share your reference images?

>>262206
The hair, I mean how do you do the hair? in the first and second picture?

>>262206
>trust me I wasn't always this good.

Needed to make a quick asset for the environment in my animation project. A series of picture frames where the paper drawings behind had burned away ages ago.

Getting the burned paper look was a fun experiment in texturing.

Quick render, no lighting applied.

>>262233
looks terrible + you wasted your time on useless shit

>>262234
Then provide suggestion for improvement instead of wasting your own time posting nonconstructive criticism.

>>262238
I would take a nap 6 feet underground for the next thousand years if i made that image

>>262073
Bevel your edges a bit. Those counters are dangerously sharp.

>>262233
The texture looks nothing like burned paper. The edges are too soft, the entire paper looks like ass. Have you ever seen paper that has been burned?
Not to mention that it looks far too out of place in the framing. The color of the frames itself looks bad.

Everything just looks bad.

Change the color of the framing, I don't know what, but a different color. It looks like ass.
Darken the burned edges of the paper cause right now it looks like someone wiped their ass with it.

>>262233
Think of how paper would burn instead of just throwing burns around randomly

also, edges would curve and stuff. Attention to detail is important if you want to to have detail.

>>261942
>>262206
>oh chloe, can you show topo ?

>>262210 any tuto from you please
I don't think I could teach anything that couldn't be learned from a few youtube videos.

>>262224
Blocked it out with polys, then subdivided only along the direction of the hair growth to make a ton of individual 'strands', then extracted different strands and varied them a bit with a lattice deformer. But that was just an experiment, i probably won't keep it that way.

>>262255
pic related (forgive her,she is ugly without hair)

looking at this picture I realize I seriously need to look at some armor ref, this squiggly line stuff is shit...

Just started a Hyena model, wondering how the topology works with the area in which the leg connects to the stomach, any tips?

>>262257
jesus man, tone those lips down a bit. it's a fantastic model but the lips ruin it by far.

>>262262
the shorts need lots of work, they look way too thick. thin them out a little bit more.
and work on that face dud, it looks like she has no jaw the way that she's gawping. widen the jaw a little bit and try and close the mouth.

>>262257
good start, but you need tgo define the cheekbones more especially the zygomatic bone closer to the ear
same goes for the skull near the eyebrows, human skull is very bumpy in that region
but i agree with anon above me, your biggest problem for now are the lips
top of the lips are defined to much, while the sides aren't at all.

>>262266
yea, I suck at faces, by far the thing I need to fix the most, I'll work on that some more.

texture painting

>>262306
paint some lip creases in there.

also tone the skin colour down a bit, make it like, it's far too red.


use this as an example, there are plenty of more pictures out there you can grab but this one struck out to me.

>>262250
>>262243
You guys were absolutely right, upon reflection it did look absolutely terrible. I reworked it a bit today. Progress?

>>262316
the chairs look very cute, how did you get such soft lighting ?

>>262325
Looks like a vagina.

Some people arent cut out for this.

>>262327
Lol the shape of the burn is taken from an actual piece of burned paper, that shouldn't be the issue.

>>262327
What I'm more concerned about at the moment is if the colors work better. What I'm going for is someone came in and intentionally burned off whatever image or document was in that frame. So yeah, if the image was framed like that it'll look like a vagina haha.

>>262330
It does look better than the first attempt, however if someone were to come in and deliberately burn an image out of a frame I doubt they'd stay around and make sure the fire stopped before taking out the entire canvas/paper. If that's the feeling you're going for there should just be a few scraps left in a corner of the frame somewhere, if not just a scorched frame with a scorched wall behind it.

>>262317

This is with human proportions

>>262325


Im not even sure WHY in that clean looking house without any dust and lots of light and with even a newish looking frame that they would keep a burned out image on the wall????

What the fuck is going on here?? How do you think that shit is going to read to someone looking at it for 10-15 seconds?

>>262316
There are many lights in the scene. The skylight coming from the roof makes a very soft ambient occlusion.
Also i added glare layers with after effects.It's not just 3ds max

>>262335
I'm still in asset creation phase mate.

Nothing has been done yet for actual lighting of the environment, atmosphere, or texturing of the wall etc. It will also only be viewed in passing in the final animation, not something stopped and stared at.

>>262334
No, that's creepy.. not to mention, average anatomy is not good looking anatomy, eyes slightly wider apart and lips less broad usually looks better.

>>262341
Make that mouth, not lips. Derp.

>>262334

>>262334
Incorrect. The first once is far more accurate

>>262334
didn't post it for proportions, only posted it for colour tone.

>>262210 any tuto from you please
>I don't think I could teach anything that couldn't be learned from a few youtube videos.

>>262260
Your topo say you are wrong about you can't teach things, almost all good topo use for poly around eyes 12 faces, but you do a goodest job with 14
It's the first thing we can't learn from you ;)

>>262380
no, you use how ever many you need to (within your limits obviously), this mathematical calculating bullshit is how you end up with terrible art, there's no "magic" number of faces, you use what you need to.

>>262380

Sorry, but this >>262390

is true. Unless you're working on a game model where poly count is strict, there is no real reason for you to be counting polys like that. For example, i didn't even know how many polys the eyes had until you just told me.

I'm only concerned with getting a general likeness and maintaining (relatively) neat topology, which i hope i've done with chloe. IMO there is certinly no reason to be adding or taking away loops just to reach some arbitrary 'correct' number.

rock sculpting, id appreciate crits as I dont really know how to improve :x

>>262410
looks a bit... soft.
also too reflective.

Shapes don't look that natural either.

>>262410


hey i have same problems with my rocks. do you have some good tiut for sculpting rocks?

>>262410
Go outside, Get some real rocks. Take photos if they are too big.

Model/Sculpt from life. Do it everyday, consistently. Best way to get better.

>>262425
cheers, I think I know what you mean by too soft, I can see there are a lot of curves in the silhouette, tried to make the faces as angular as possible but I guess they need more work
>>262422
havent really found any good tuts, just youtube videos of people making them and such. flatten brush with -100 on the brush modifier is good for making angular faces, dam standard with pinch brush for the cracks
>>262412
actually this I made with no refrence whatsoever, I guess I should use ref. problem with rocks is there is such a wide variety I never know what to use

Next time I'll change characters.

>>262428
>problem with rocks is there is such a wide variety I never know what to use

The nice looking ones, you know the ones I mean.

>>262410
Biggest issue I have is that piece just jutting out in the upper left. Unless it was a crystaline mineral like quartz that wouldn't happen.

>>262454
what are you a rock professor now ?

>>262455
yes

>>262457
just made my day

3 weeks left and everything is so sketchy aaaaa

man, environment design requires a lot of research. Maybe it's cause I don't have much visual library for it, unlike for character designing.

yes, also known as clipping monster
this is what I was trying to get.

Never really done any rendering what so ever (beyond the basics for some vidya/mods) so I figured I'd start learning about materials and all that jazz (using Softimage)

Got that annoying artifact on the top of the left ball, it's caused by the star projected on the front.

If I change the refraction angle on the material I can get rid of it, but then it also messes with the colour by getting too much of the sky. ;_;

>>262510
i like it.

Shoes. Also underwear, but I just can't get the damn things to stop clipping. Maybe I should bake them onto the body.

suggestions?

i have about 5 more weeks till this has to be handed in so if you have any ideas as to what i can do for this scene then please say so.
(it's part of an advert for the bbc)

>>262624

add some plants?

>>262624
jesus man throw some more ao on there

>>262627
surprisingly to my knowledge, that's as much as i can slam on. not even kidding. but i wont be doing the final scene so this is just to show what i've done in ''better'' quality.

>it's softimage so go figure i guess


here's a close up of the table, bit small in the previous image.
(please excuse the 'ow shit i'm blind' brightness)

>>262629
I was being sarcastic my bro. The AO is far too much and it doesnt look clean. I would use a bake and reuse a point cloud for optimal results if you know how to do that

>>262640
that AO will look fine once he multiplies it with a color texture.

>>262646
it will still look too heavy trust me i know

>>262647
this isn't a final render keep in mind, i only did it like this to show my team-mates. i wont be in charge of the texturing or anything else. i only do the assets. but now you mention that it's too much i will tone it down. But there's no need to be sarcastic though.

>>262650
What you can do is set the distance in the AO to the number of units from one side of the scene to the other, that will give you a more accurate result.

thanks for the start b3ars
