Yeah they are tiny and possibly not smoothed, as the vase and chairs aren't smoothed either.

How did you model all of that in 4 hours? That's incredibly fast modelling. Any tips?

Rekka posted:Yeah, I knew my topology was wrong, my main objective for my first try was to atleast get the shape right, and work from there. Thanks for the advice. I actually knew about those tutorials, shame I never look at them!! Quick question: is that screen shot faceted for our benefit or do you model without smoothing?

I think this looks a lot better now though, apart from the nose and mouth of course. Topology looks better generally, right?

Rekka posted:Working in Silo so model low poly and smooth after, subd modelling. But yes I was showing you it in the low poly form for the benefit of getting topology feedback. I'm sure others will disagree but I'd think the best way to learn to model heads is to learn first without subd iterations.

Yeah seriously. I told myself if I enter this competition I'm staying well away from that poo poo. I had a quick idea that was sort of gouache paint colours, south of France scene with an inconspicuous old French man who sort of turns in to / folds in to a Citroen 2CV. I'm not sure if I'm crazy but I might draw up a concept. brian encino man fucked around with this message at 21:32 on Jun 14, 2009 |

Wow I've actually been doing some personal 3d work for about the first time in a year. Finally sorting out that head I posted ages ago. I guess the next step after I tidy up the head a bit more and sort out the proportions finally is to the do body! I'm sort of finding out mudbox as I go along but its a fun experience. He's going to be Magua from Last Of The Mohicans when he's done.

Thanks guys, hopefully I can keep up the likeness.. ceebee posted:
I'm loving it so far. I tried to use zbrush once but I'm terrible for tutorials so I sort of struggled with the interface like a fish in a net for a few minutes and gave up. Of course though that is hardly the right attitude so I think I'll make a definite go of it as Mudbox certainly seems to have less features.

My camera in mud box has gone all strange. Its gone slightly rotated right and when I rotate the camera back the model now looks up at a 45 degree angle. Like its rotating around a ball instead of a fixed position. I tried to reset the camera but no joy. Anyone know about this? If I rotate the model to bodge-fix it it messes up the symmetry.

I took a break from Magua so I'm going to do this bot fly for a bit inbetween. How would you guys go about making small hair/fur in mudbox? Just sculpt a general shape and then put over a template or custom brush?

Is there a way to sort of redistribute the mesh to make it more uniform in mudbox? I seem to have some stretching going on which is affecting any stamp tools I use.

Who is up for a little competition. Well competition isn't really the right word as its more an incentive to do work over finding a winner; but we could do like a low, medium and holy poly challenge, maybe an environment or building, character, vehicle etc. Low would be super low like 500 tris maximum and a combined texture space of 128 or 256. Medium would be game spec I guess normal maps allowed; high would be whatever your pc can handle! Anyone interested? I was thinking first off we could make a 'military vehicle', be it a space plane, a steampunk laser gyrocopter or a WW2 sherman tank. What do you think? edit: and we could make the render/beauty shot look like the cover of an Airfix box! brian encino man fucked around with this message at 18:38 on Jul 20, 2009 |

How long do you think each challenge should last. 2 weeks? 4? Sigma think of this as community college art. If you can interpret the theme in a way you want then do!

Ok how about this for the first challenge: You have 4 weeks to make something on the theme of 'military machine'. This can be futuristic, alien, eco-warrior; it just needs to be ready for some kind of combat. Let's go for the middle ground right now so game spec, 10k triangles max, normal maps allowed, a combined texture resolution of 2048 and alpha, lighting maps etc. It would be great if you posted some rough sketches and maybe a concept piece but remember this isn't CGsociety so we can all provide nice constructive crit and help each other along the way. How about that? brian encino man fucked around with this message at 09:46 on Jul 21, 2009 |

I have a bit of a confession to make. I was going to start my military vehicle today and was looking around my work pc at old max files and stumbled upon this I completely forgot about : Click here for the full 745x668 image. So prescribing to the idea that its better to finish something than start new, I've been reworking this model. I'm going to make it game spec and then normal map it. Hopefully I'll do the character too as I had an idea long ago to make a series of vehicles and their drivers. Here's the model so far anyway:  Click here for the full 640x480 image. Anyone else had any ideas for what they want to make?

One niggling little thing. 21 seconds. Look at the tiles on the wall. They are the same tile!  Also I'd possibly slow down the clock tick even more. Really love the lighting on the stairs, looking great and I love the end.

No one really seemed that interested but also I didn't really take charge of it. I will do if you like. I'm 1/4 of the way through a model for it which I intend to finish anyway so yeah I'm still up for it.

Do any of you guys have much experience of working abroad in contractual work? I asked in the games thread but no one replied. I'll have two years experience in industry soon, 5 released titles, working on another. Obviously its all about the portfolio but I know they usually say "A good candidate will have _this much_ experience" etc. I'm always slowly working on my portfolio but would you guys say I'm viable to be employed from abroad or would you say wait another couple of years or its entirely dependant now on my portfolio or this sentence is going on way too long please use some punctuation?

Thanks for the advise guys! I'd love to work in NZ but from what I can see there are very few games companies there and I don't have any experience working in film. Canada sounds great, especially Vancouver so hopefully I'll start applying in a couple of months when my folio is looking better.

Cool once again thanks for the info. I said 5 games experience but I have 1 currently (amazingly 4 are due to be released in the next 2 months!) so I don't really want to start applying until I can chuck work stuff in. Also gives me time to do a couple of personal study work pieces. I do have a decent grade 3 year degree so I guess that helps.

Like really draw those wrinkles in, don't just let the geometry do it for you. Also think if he would have like a red nose and cheeks like lots of people that look like that do because of drinking or whatever, really get in to the character and paint in those things that stand out. Its ok guys I know I sound patronising but I know max so its ok
