Tauren Hunter model

Journal Category

Greetings guys, this is my latest 3d model referenced from a toy design from the WOW universe. The character is called Korg HighMountain, I'm sure many of you who plays WOW would recognize him in some form. I really love the concept art and design of the creature so I went with a more realistic and gritty approach in textures and modeling. The model has 12k polygons including all the amours and accessories. Two 2k * 2k texture layouts, each consists of Diffusemap, Normalmap, CavityMap, Ambient Occlusionmap, Specularmap and Alphamap for furs. The high res model was sculpted in Zbrush 3.1 and refined in Maya, finally rendered in Mental ray. Please feel free to criticize and comments will be appreciated. Cheers

Really great stuff, man. You've certainly got the knack for doing cloth! Interesting proportions you have there too.

hehe, thanks man. Felt i really needed a change of pace from the generic, ut3 proportioned military char's i've been doing so much of latley.
Plus I really need some hard surface/sub-d modelling practice. That helmet is gonna kill me >_<

Oh, pouches and gloves up in here too. Almost finished save for the helmet.

looks good. hair could use a bump or something. it looks a bit flat right now. the V on her back is too strong and not quite in the right place

I like the fact that she looks like a real girl rather than the weird testosterone fueled male fantasies which usually inhabit these pages.

Submitted by MyName (not verified) on Fri, 17/06/11 - 5:04 PMPermalink

That was the first thing I thought too.

Nice work. Great to see something real (in the portrayal of a woman).... and art that isn't a zombie or robot.

Emma Frost - White Queen

Journal Category

Hey guys, Next character off the ranks for me, Emma Frost the White Queen, this was my entry for the 2009 Comicon Challenge over at GameArtisans.org. THe budget was 10000 triangles and 1 x 2048 textures. She is 9700 Triangles and 1 x 2048x2048 diffuse specular and normal maps. I really enjoyed working on her, I hope you guys like her too!

Hey thanks,

She was completed in Max 2008, Zbrush 3.5 and photoshop cs3. I studied at home by myself :)

Its exciting to see the sketches appearing as models! I think I had posted this before, but if you need /want any further illustrations or paintovers to help with fleshing out details send me a message and I'll try to make some time to supply more visual input.

A fantastic piece of work here HazarD. The costume design screams of dark 80s/90s to me.

The sword and overall feel make it feel like it belongs in a highlander movie. I mean that in a good way. :)

That looks awesome, man. Can't find any fault with it. Would love to see a close up shot of her face though!

Beautiful work mate, Been watching this thread over at GA.org. A simple but stunning piece. I love the larger proportions too. Keep the work coming, can't wait to see Emma Frost done!

Submitted by AppleStrudle on Wed, 12/08/09 - 9:25 PMPermalink

Looks fantastic mate!

I love the detailing on the leather and the leg straps. Would it be possible to post a couple of the maps?

Normal and diffuse would be great :D

Hello!

Journal Category

Hi,

My name is Eric, Im in Year 12 this year. Im studying in Melbourne at Melbourne Grammar. I enjoy doing 3D arts, video editing and some Post-Production.

I work with Autodesk Alias Maya, i have been using Maya for a bit over 4 years now. I focus on rendering, lighting and material skills right now, as I wish to create a really realistic render. I mainly have done automotive models and some basic scene modeling.

My current work is a Mercedes Benz C63 AMG, which i have modelled from scratch in Maya. It is a Mid-Poly model. Im still working on it. I dont use any textures, bump maps for my model, I model every single part i see.

My current rendering work is for a friend, who modelled a Nissan GT-R. I use his model to bring out his eye for detail and accuracy, but to also help me improve my renderings. In my renders, I mostly try and not use images for textures, i mostly use the material and texture options inside Maya.

I attached some of my works.

You can contact me through my details on my deviantart page. www.etfnehme.deviantart.com

Thanks,

Your work is impressive for a year 12 Student. I'm assuming you are self taught?

I paid $14k for a course and I don't think i could produce work this impressive. Well done mate. I'm a fan.

Images: Old Folio 2006 - Part 3 - The Snacuum

Journal Category

This contraption is the reason for my username and is my pride and joy of the years I spent studying at A.I.E. My role in the creation of a working game level for our last assignment was to make this device, pivotal to both the story and gameplay of our level.

This vacuum/hovercraft/animal catcher was made to collect cute animals and deposit them at the factories of a giant totalitarian fast food company in a fictional steampunk future, think "Abe's Oddysee."

Designed to be reasonably low poly but not overly so since it takes up a lot of screen space and is in essence a whole player character. I believe it to be close to 6000 tris and uses 512,256,128 sized texture pages including a tiny specular map for highlights. It was my first stab at normal mapping, created without normal sculpting programs. It contains a basic rig and morph targets attached to it's tube and nozzle "mouth."

Part 2 of my old folio.

The creature is part of a low-poly set that each team member had to create a variant of the species. It had an approx 3000 tri limit, 2 x 256x256 diffuse maps. It is fully rigged and was part of learning to create a rig that does not conform to the human shape.

The canyon is part of a team assignment to create a low-poly race track environment in a uniform style. Our theme was looney tunes in space, my responsibility was to create the canyon near the secret alien base.

And finally...

Images: Old Folio 2006 - Part 1

Journal Category

These are the still images of the work I completed at the A.I.E. Altogether it made my folio by graduation in 2006.

The first is a low-poly environment. The task was to create a haunted house structure and surrounds within a specifications of approx 3000 tris, only diffuse maps with maximum texture reach of 256px. Unfortunately that render is all I have left of the early project

The second is a creature I created in my spare time and used to practice my simple digital painting skills.

The Vampire Woman is a low-poly npc. Based around a modernized Victorian era style. Specs were under approx 4000 tris, 2 x 256x256 diffuse maps, fully rigged except for mouth parts.

Moving on to part 2...

Mini Comp: War General Portraits

Journal Category

Hey Guys and Gals

Just thought i'd post my latest mini comp entry. this is Gen'ral Scythe L'Kar (yes i forgot the ' in my entry :P) any screwups when it comes to spelling im blaming on submitting 10 mins before the deadline so i was rushing like hell.

I had to submit this at about %70 done as family, personal and other things monopolised my time and im a little pissed at some of the mistakes i made but it was a good warmup before dominance war and this now frees up some of my time for indie game commitments.

any C&C is truly appreciated

Austrian grenadier- normal mapping (part 2)

Journal Category

Back to low poly Austrian grenadier project. Here’s how it looks with normal maps. Now it would be time to add hand painted bump mapping for smaller details. It’s kinda funny- I’ve never really been into history of this particular period, not even when I was still considering myself “a historian” but uniforms from that era are so dashing and attractive for game dev that I just can’t let them be. I am still dreaming about making an FPS napoleonic shooter (that’s why I am bothering with this grenadier after all) unrealistic as it might sound. In worst case I will just have one more model to show around- nothing bad about it I guess.

Hades, Kingdom Hearts WAR GameArtisans Entry

Loved your entry vegas spitting image of hades, i like the work on the face but i think the clothes particularly the chest area was missing something, like maybe the heartless symbol or something, just my 2 cents anyway great work

Submitted by Vegas on Sat, 07/02/09 - 5:38 PMPermalink

Thanks for the input bro, I absolutely loved your piece. Somebody mentioned watching your models grow in quality and I have to agree with them. I love these mini comps. They give you great pieces for the porty. I would have loved to have given the modelling comp here a better go, but it was just bad timing.

"The game"- final entry

Journal Category

It's been rather hectic but in the end I've managed to get things ALMOST right. Surely it requires a post touch up since what you can see here is almost raw Blender rendering (and with materials barely touched to make things worse) but considering fact it's been done in so called "spare time" (should be called "stolen time") and under heavy deadlines I think it came up acceptable. Not that I am proud of it or would not like to do some things different having a choice (... and time) but for a time being I will just leave it as it is.

Since everyone else is posting theirs, i thought i would too. I decided to model Crono from the Square-enix title Chrono Trigger. I was a little short of time to polish the submission, but i'm happy with the results of the model itself.

I've just put up some better quality renders for all intrested. As well as my concept for the character.

Submitted by _CAD_ on Tue, 03/02/09 - 1:52 AMPermalink

Well done tejay the only thing i reckon you should have changed is really upped the self-illumination a bit but other than that cool!!

wheres jono in all these comps the dude has dropped off the radar

Submitted by Tejay on Tue, 03/02/09 - 6:34 AMPermalink

Yeah i think the self illumination was on 70, the top shots had lights but i dont think they worked too well...i kinda rushed them. As for jono, i have no idea why he isnt doin these comps. Maybe he is busy with work or just slackin off.

This is just a quick sample of my stuff. although it centres around character art i am perfectly capable of working on environment assets as well.

Hope You Like :D

I am very impressed by all the work you have shown. I especially like Patrick....i know that sounds wierd...but a he is just the best character invention since stimpy.

I think your concept drawings have inspired me to draw more as well...they are very unique and brilliant to look at with my eyes.

I love the flaming dinosaur model as well!

Wait I love all of this work. Congrats. You must have a job right?...I would hope they would hire you with a portfolio such as yours.

The only improvements I suggest is....ummmm....hmmmm, can't really say much. Only that the lion head has a dog snout and the flames on the dinosaur picture could have looked better with particles I think....but not necessary really.

All the best with your adventures into the creative world of 3D ART!
