Michael Jackson before and after

>>667068
You seem to be suffering from the same thing that some rookie drawers suffer from. You can't see what's in front of you.

Symbolism or some shit.

You look at your reference and your brain goes

>yo hol up imma model michael jackson

To fix this you need to grab a square or draw a box in photoshop and place it over a good photo of someone's face. Place it around the nose, eyes, whatever. Cover up everything else but the nose.
Then model the nose. Now screen cap your model and take it back in to photoshop and place it over the original image.

Turn the top layer's visibility on and off to see how the contours, arches and dips of your model don't line up with the image.

Look at the difference and try to model it again with these differences in mind.

Repeat till /3/ stops replying to your posts.

Holy fuck this guy

WIP groza, the lighting in the mag was due to an edge loop, can i get some critiques going on?

>>667106
For me everything looks as it should except the wooden part, which looks like plastic or fake wood. Also if im nitpicking the very front part of the weapon has that plastic-ish feeling as well, its like it has a different metal from the main body of the weapon. The rest looks fine

>>667106
doesn't weapon usually have a barrel ?

>>667114
It's a bullpup, so the barrel starts near the back rather than sticking out the front.

>>667110
Looks like the front part is part of the foregrip that goes around the barrel. Odds are it's supposed to look like plastic or something different than metal.
I agree about the wood though, doesn't look very good. It also sticks out too much as far as contrast goes.

>>667068
Get your forms right before subdividing. Also you don't need so many polys.

little bit of work done on my demon guy.
>>667068
your mesh is to dense, if you try to modify your shapes with a mesh that dense you'll get ugly results, try duplicating your head, run a zremesher on the duplicate and then project the details from the high poly, divide zremeshed mesh and repeat until you have 5 suvdivisions or so, that way you can go back to your subdivision level 1 and modify your shapes more easily.
did another paint over on your head.

>>667184
ugly paint over.

thanks will do that.
>>667184
my subdivide is around 3-4 at max.
but anyways yes i have plenty of saved layers to go back just in case i fucked up like this one lol. thanks and saved.

This is the actual shipped game lads. With a 5M$ kickstart and all.

Some more work on >>663774 finally. Finished up the body and limbs, now working on the head, face and hair.
I gotta be honest, I'm not really sure how to go about making the hair, at all. I've tried a few different things, but I just don't really understand how to go about making a shape like it.
I've tried sculpting it, which is what I assumed I'd have to do, but nothing I did really helped. I tried starting with a sphere and going from there, but it didn't work. I'll be honest I've never really dived into the sculpting tools much, so I'm out of my element trying to do things with it.
If anyone has some advice, I'll greatly appreciate it. I just don't know how to start with a shape like that.

it was made in another program like a cad or something then script converted to meshed 3d, I bet.

I gotta say playing around with shaders is really fun

>>667588
greats you can make simple maps for roughness and color, something you can easily do on substance and not the retarded mess youre doing right now.

>>667594
I didn't say I was good at it I just said it was fun

>>667600
i did't say anything about your skills lol i implied doing texturing work on blender is fucking dumb when you can easily do it on substance. youre literally only fucking around with the pasting textures on these surfaces and show shiny they are, but you have a shit ton of maps already because blender has no system for masking ids like substance does.

>>667580
is this for a porn game or animation?

>>667537
Yup. Looking for a coder. The idea I am mulling over is like Aliens franchise bashed into a 3D FTL (would require RNG stuff for a roguelike) where you try to exist as a transport company in a space filled with various stuff from space pirates to The Thing-like and xenomorph-like aliens that convert your crew to gain numbers. And there is sex somewhere along the way.

>boring as fuck concept, almost fell asleep reading that
Sorry. I know. I have a few projects I am working on but that one is made just because I love the Alien Covenant aesthetics (dim screens on the bridge) for some comfy feels. The part about the corporation is here and there. The most important part is surviving with your crew. So when I feel like it, I go back to this one. I just need to reel in my scope creep. But the fact that I hope to make money and jobs is something I have in mind. The concept of this game is pretty boring but space comfyness is key.

Don't you have to be a student?

>>667656
all you need is a student email, which you can make easily with fake credentials. use that email for substance and screenshot the credentials when they ask you for a picture and then youre done. also works for all autodesk apps and the license is renewable

>>667657
They will accept any random ass @gmail.com as your "student email"

Autodesk licenses are literally just given away for free

Using Blender 2.8:
Last week we finished a cluster of instrument panels for NCC-Viking. Turns out we had to go back and separate each panel and clean up the orientations so we can snap linked copies anywhere needed.

Well folks, I mean faggos, we are gutting the bridge. Tonight we are working on basic stuff like getting the colors and values something a bit more brighter. Like in ancient Greek theater they performed their plays in the broad light of day so that spectators could clearly see, and understand the message.

From here on out it is artistic license. All right, good night and fuck off.

I'll try to fix the others however I'm not sure how to go about this one.

>>667812
>>667814
If you're serious about it, I'd say to redo it from the start. Find some anatomy resources, I believe /ic/ has some, if not I highly recommend Anatomy for Sculptors for a very good overview of everything. Should be able to find a PDF online quite easily. You don't have to do a fully realistic body, learn how to simplify, exaggerate, stylize. Keeping form is the most important though. Now go on and create your ideal waifu that not only looks good to you but to others too.

>>667815

Top of the mornin' to ya from the desk of Starfleet.

The TOS flight panel will not match the new instrument panels on the bridge stations.. so: "what 2 do?" I've considered this problem for the last few days pouring over reference material and I believe converting the TOS flight panel to look similar to the Space Shuttle Enterprise flight panel.

Okay- if there are any <i><b>adults</b></i> on this thread then I guess that means I will see you in eight years. No, but really. I think this is worth it and I feel I have the experience to knock this out quickly.

What we really need is a fucking miracle and another hit off this pipe. Some good Rock doesn't hurt.

Man (Anon (that's you)), actually, you do good work there. And to be honest, I really appreciate the nice attention you put into puffing up those nipples. I'm trying not to be a pervert here but that is nice work overall. I'm looking at the pic you referenced >>667207 and that is a good skill level.

Something compelled you this far, good hair sculpt, good features, it is really pretty good. What drove you to this level?

>>667850

be carefuly the production company which owns the StarTreck rights is a fucking shitbag, which kills all fan based models or cartoons. they even killed fucking second life clubs.

>>667874
Thank you Anon. Fortunately, they have not taken all of our rights yet, expression is still intact. For the most part.

Using the flight stick controls to scale this diagram to the set.

>>667871
Thank you very much anon. Glad you like it.
>Something compelled you this far, good hair sculpt, good features, it is really pretty good. What drove you to this level?
I always wanted more out of gaming and movies. I felt like I would do a better job in some things or at least improve on the existing formulas. My brain is just swirling with ideas all the time and I often just have to go to sleep because my head hurts if I don't start drawing or doing something creative. I used to consider that a bad thing but I managed to overcome that and now I am just going at it as much as time allows. Also I know I can do a lot better since I see a lot of people being way better than me. But I also know that I wasn't born with the ability to draw. I always loved art and stuff and it began in with 80's cartoons and toys. I actually used to make playdough armor on my Masters and Gi-Joes imitating movies like Mad Max and The Predator. I also couldn't always get what I wanted so I had to draw it or make it and play with that. Co I guess that is where my creative drive began.
Also, although I want a fan ST game, >>667874 anon is right. You really have to be careful so they don't get a whiff of it. Keep it on the down low and people involved on a tight leash until you release a stable version so that it is too late for them to stop the spread. Just an idea. I am still very sad about what happened to the KOTOR fan remake.

>>667878
So I started out drawing, went to painting then the Internet came along. Was running hacked ZBrush, Maya, 3D viz until Blender 2.4.

So this is a little embarrassing but I'm not doing this for a game, I'm doing it for ... church comics ... God, I can't believe I said that. But I got it figured out. I think. Somethings GOT TO GIVE!!

Those bastards! Okay - of course we could use your work. Down low if you know what I mean. Because if any one found out I was doing this for the church it would ruin my reputation as a bad ass.

I've got some previous work done, made some headway, established ourselves as the Dark Prophet and all, but man keep up the good work. If you believe in Nature, in Karma and Rock and Roll, then things will click into place. For all us worms. Peace Brother. Catch you on the flip and keep it up. One thin at a time, I must finish this set.

Starfleet out. Thanks. Off to my job.

>>667882
>>667883
Cool beginnings. I just wish I found how good ZBrush was before. Don't be embarrassed, I am agnostic so it is totally fine. Hope you post here more often. I will. Who knows what can happen.

Ignore modelling, You need to improve your art. I recommend /ic/

made the mistake of not posting in the wip section but can anyone offer advice about thread related
>>667917

>>667924
to clarify
>so im currently working on a transforming robot but im getting very antsy over some parts and how the hell am i supposed to hook up machinery to the shell in a believable way. i have to top of this shell pretty much done

>>667931
heres all the pieces unhidden

>>667933
and here's what im referencing

>>667934
What a mess..... It's okay, I'm a janitor.

Best route: model the goddamn shape closed, in transit mode. Keep the seams on it for now, just model the best goddamn closed position you can. Tweak it, sleep with it, take it for a walk. Then when your ready to break into it you might find some more solutions.

>>667937
So just model rudamentary limbs, rig it and tweak the limbs to something more sensible?

>>667938
Negative Cesar.
Start from the other direction because all your machinery will be based on the best goddamn close position. Get that done then you will have the foundation for the parts and limbs.

>>667939
well the closed shell is pretty much done, a mirror modifier makes it look whole

>>667939
also you freaked me out but then i learned blender's file path is on the top of the program

>>667940
You need a fairly detailed mesh for your operation.

>>667942
detailed? its supposed to be like an eggshell, perfectly smooth
unless you mean the other side of the shell in which limbs hook on?

>>667943
You can make it low poly if you want. I would personally prefer a nice smooth surface with good edge loops.

>>667944
ah so really cut and bevel it

>>667945
I'm really hoping you just play with it tonight and report back. I won't be here tomorrow night, though.

>>667946
i got this, a subsurf mod to really up that poly count

and this is what it looks like solid

>>667950
problem is im terrified of working with all those verts if i apply the modifier

>>667950
I thought that's what you were after. A few ways to proceed from here. A lot of ways to proceed from here.

>>667955
to be honest it was, but again, i didnt want to get too crazy with the verts or else ill drive myself mad slicing it up

>>667954
Make a copy of this and hide it away. Then fuck with it all you want.

ok i got another issue, you see i was gonna make it so the middle pieces seen earlier would pop forward, thus bringing the two outer pieces of the shell together for more manageable dimensions rather than being super wide. but problem is thanks to the subdivide all these loops are curved so its difficult for me to decide where to cut.

>>667958
That's why you made a copy. Have fun with it. Keep your mouse busy.

>>667958
>>667959
Move this shit to the questions thread.
I realize since it's wip and your working on it, it technically belongs, but at this point you're better of containing it to the questions since it's no longer about critique and more of "How should I do this?" and not "What do you think? Where can it be improved?"

>>667960
Move yourself to the questions thread, bro.

>>667959
>>667958
this is why you dont model in blender, and use max instead.

why are there two threads for functionally the same purpose:
>provide feedback to improve a model
the only reason im here is because someone ree'd at me for asking what i should do to continue my model
and now im being ree'd that im asking questions instead of solely asking for critique? i thought that went hand in hand

>>667965
>absolute state of /3/

>>667965
Hey, general-san (i.e. OP of both this and /questions) here, read your posts and you ought to have posted in the /questions/ general. The moment you're asking anything, especially a "how to", it goes right into /questions/. And no, the generals are functionally different and distinct, just read the OP texts, which should be clear enough in describing their purposes. If they were the same, this thread wouldn't have been "not the questions thread edition". Please, you (and that anon that pointed you here) should lurk more before posting.
Cheers, and welcome to the no-fun zone of 4channel. :^)

>>667961
I don't think you belong here either. You just popped up with incoherent posts, that switch thoughts mid sentence in broken English, and seem to have no clue about how things work here.
I'm quite sure you're some 50+ year old boomer, which is fine, but generally it's accepted practice to lurk before posting to get a feel for how things are conducted before you just burst onto the scene and expect everyone to welcome you with open arms. That way people don't disrupt the "fragile" state of the board and start another 30+ argument because a namefag can't be bothered to learn the board culture.

Honestly, you're probably better off starting a blog for your work, judging by the way you've been posting. Either that, or just observe for a while, and take things slow.

Not sure why I'm wasting so much time making clothes for a Warcraft Gnome other than I wanted to see how my character would look like in biker leathers.

>>667915
Hey mate, so first off your lighting is shit; you can do a night time render if you want but people typically don't because natural lighting from a window tends to be a lot more pleasing, if you do want to stick to night time it still needs to be a lot more brighter, look at image attached for ref, more contrast, more exposed, more blue.

now the models: they aren't great. fairly low quality I imagaian you made them yourself, and that's fine but you need to spend more time on them and their textures. The wall is actually hideous, either massively lower the bump or just remove it and use a defuse paint texture.

composition, the camera is very uninteresting, you have something going with the mirror and the table if you but something on the green mat as a: focus, you don't have any when you look at this image your eye just wanders not really looking at anything in particular, this is partly because of the composition but mainly because you don't have a hero model or anything

Colour palette, yours is all over the place. You have reds oranges whites greens nono of it goes together. You're probably making your bedroom or something but since your remaking it may as well make it looks pleasing to the eye, for simplicity stick to a colour temperature, use a professional photograph you like, or just use the ref I posted as a guide.

Good luck man

>>667971
pic related.

>>668016
I appreciate the input, I'll do my best to focus on those areas and see how I can improve today. also yeah it is my bedroom and yes I did make the models. They actually aren't really uh.. textured. I'm just separating the different colored parts of the mesh and giving them different materials. as for the composition I really actually wasn't focusing on it right now because I've kinda been leaving my camera in the same spot while I get everything modeled so I can make a time lapse of renders from start to finish to show my progress, but I will take what you said into account when I do start on my final pass for the render. Also the wall would probably be horrendous because its litterally a noise texture node plugged into the displacement with the scale turned way up lmao. Kind of going for that paint wheel bumpiness look without putting in the effort, but as it appears to be very noticeable I will stop being a lazy ass about it. Thanks again

still working on it but it's coming along and kinda unsettling, for the most part just working on environments

Office building

Greetings again. Using the Space Shuttle Enterprise's flight panel as our reference we have laid the foundation for the NCC-Vikings new and improved retro as shit flight panel. This is going to be fun. This is what modeling is all about.

Unfortunately, my presence is required on the other side of the galaxy, but don't despair because Starfleet is always tuned in.

>>667954
If you are doing subdivision modeling, you don't apply the modifier until the very end, and even then just for one subdivision, so you get an all quads mesh. Making the surfaces smooth is the job of the render engine. You want it as low poly as you want, so your modeling is easier -- think of the vertices as just control points for the end smooth surface.

>>668144
>I'm big on poly modelling
I am too but youre doing it wrong if youre not using sculpting tools. You dont have to do anything fancy. You just use the push and pull tool to shape youre mesh and you can smooth/relax it.

Pic related is a face i poly modeled and used sculpting tools to push, pull and smooth the mesh. you're going to have hard time making adjustments with just selecting vertices and edges.

>>668150
>to shape youre mesh
meant to use your*
sculpting isn't doing anything fancy compared to poly modeling, sculpting only moves the vertices It doesn't touch edges or faces. thats how you can sculpt low poly objects too.

Because i've been lazy it took awhile.
Models done now.

so this is pretty much one half of the whole mech, but with dowels for limbs instead of... you know... actual fucking machinery like what >>668193
has going on at the back of his jet. but this right now serves as a basis for how this thing will be rigged. the outer shoulder and arm plates will be moved to the front of the middle plates, while the outer plates of the leg will become thigh plates and the middle plate will become the shin/foot.

>>668247
hidden the main body to show a clearer view of the limbs

>>668149
shid i wish i saw this comment earlier

>>668170
anon you had one job.

>>668170
I want to praise you for the being the first anon finish his project. Still, it seems to me that the leg proportion is wrong. In my opinion if I had x-ray eyes, I would see that under her clothes, her torso is larger than her legs. The knee is definitly indicating it.

>>668170
The character is really boring, but your topology is fantastic.

Well done, but I would love to see something more visually interesting from you.

first time ever working with zBrush and anatomy. Only past experience is with hard surface with another program. I tried to work based off a reference the best I could but I would appreciate some pointers on this shitty anatomy

>>667830

>>668285
why are the eyes tilted? also, the skull is a little too vertically condensed

>>668179
Maybe make the appendages and limbs less bulbous?

>>668257
ill update it in a bit.
i felt like it wouldnt bend good.
>>668258
ill fix it once i come back from work. Thanks for the heads up.

>>668285
The Zygomatic process is hollow. A tendon passes under it and attaches to the coronoid process.

Another 9 days have passed.
Update to >>666891. I'm a bit surprised
that she is also in this thread's thumbnail. Very cool. OP, have a (you).

Finished hand-painting all the outfits and extended the maid costume aswell.
Pic is one of the outfits. Also changed the haircolor and baptised her after the name the anon >>666290 gave her. Here, have a (((you))) if you read this.

>>668334
Credits, where its due, must be done right.
I meant anon >>666297

Armour set I'm working on for a mod, textures aren't done yet

looking good

>>668336
wtf is that helmet design

>>668340
Have you played a souls game?

>>668336
>>668337
That's sick. Nice job. What's the weapon supposed to be, though?

>>668345
Curved Greathammer with Bleed

yes

>>668342
I don't play video games, but I'm a medieval reenactor and this is nonsense.

>>668353
>I don't play video games, but uhrrrr
leave. Now.

>>668351
>Curved Greathammer with Bleed

>>668353
it's a video game about fighting demons and monsters what were you expecting

>>668287
>>668292
thank you anon's i'll keep these things in mind as I try to better understand anatomy. This is the first thing i've made in zBrush and i've never done anything on anatomy in either 2D or 3D so getting some pointers besides people saying "it's shit" is really helpful

>>668179
I´m the Batman.
Wing membrane will be NURBS on max.

>>668109

>box modeling of complex organic

Are you stupid or masochist?

>>668380
clearly not box modelling.
you sound like the stupid one.

>>668380
It's reserved only for the pros.

>>668380
That's just poly modelling anon, 'box modelling' is this strange variation on polygon modelling where you operate mainly by extruding faces.
It was fairly common to find practitioners of this ineffective variation when I first started out back in the 90's, so I did me some box modelling as a kid.
However it was soon discovered and well understood that we where all being massive retards and it largely died out around the turn of the millennium.
It was replaced by the now conventional approach of building surfaces by extruding edges and moving and connecting vertices.

It's weird to see this legacy term resurface here again, some tr/3/pot must've found some really OG tutorials in printed media or something.

>>667810
I'm still trying to fix the model, but in the meantime I threw it in Unity to test it out.
I wish there's a better breast physics thing I could use.

>>668385
You are just shit and a sculptfag :^) no talent at all, just pushing the pe(e)n

>>668389
Having fun?

>>668391
A guilty yes

>>668389
dont most people just assign dynamics to a bone?

>>668393
It's expensive to buy that from the store. I'm still schooling so I don't have a job

>>668394
what are you talking about

>>668395
Dynamic bones for Unity.
Turns out some of the stuff from Blender can't be used with Unity so dynamic bones needs to come from Unity itself.
Unity have default presets for "Dynamic" bones like spring and etc but they're not really that good.
Some people actually made better ones and sold it on Unity's store itself.
What's more they're a bit expensive for me to purchase since I'm not working

>>668396
why are you using unity lol

>>668398
Using it to make a game
I have not learned the art of Unreal Engine and want to beat myself over that.

>>668400
its not that hard to pick up unreal

>>668402
Fair point

>>668403
id say when you have absolute free time to just get it installed and setting up a file, just to get that out of the way since its a long install

>>668404
Well, I'll try it out later and see which one I could use for this mini project

>>668337
Armor looks good. Anatomy is fucked. Legs are way too long

>>668423
anatomy=/proportions you dumb blendlet

>>668258
Still quite confused because im using a reference image and im not good that much in anatomy. I blocked it somehow is this better?

Game character I'm working on

>>668460
Side View

>>668461
Forgot to add that I haven't attached the ears yet

>>668459
I don't know which proportion you want to go with, so I went ahead and picked the most attractive one. Use this pic related practise to your model. On secound thought, I think that the reference has an evenly proportioned design. Meh.

>>668379
Fly my pretty.

Making some kind of drippy evil hole thingy for fun while I'm waiting for other shit.
Probably going to rework the hole composition though. The drippy thing should be way bigger I think.

>>668484
i like the light. I think the composition needs work. I wanna see it with a deep focus and square or portrait aspect ratio - like a poster. It would be nice with an almost flat composition and lots of contrast.

>>668489
That's actually originally what I was going for to be honest (pic related was a shitt quick ass thumbnail I made a while back for it just to get the idea down).
I want it to be multi-leveled following a waterfall down the composition.
It's in a super early state right now though, so I'm still working on it heavily. I'm def going to have a long vertical comp though when I get to it.

>>668150
that Maya or Blender 2.8?

>>668532
Max

How do these folds look?

>>668537
good

doing an archviz scene with no pre-made assets. this is a small part of it. shaders not really final.

>>668561
ps. this is just a prop for the scene in a lookdev environment, not the actual scene.

the dummy

>>668461
>>668460
Kind of curious to see how those eyes turn out, might be pretty neat. Mouth looks weird having that much space to the nose though...slightly lower ears and extend the nose down a little maybe?

>>668571
i dont understand why he would indent the features of the eyes. makes 0 sense

>>668576
Maybe he's got some amazing plan, I don't fucking know, anon.

Greetings from Starfleet.

So I promised an asian. Watching Jackie Chan movies lately but this one is just out of my head and it was meant to be a younger guy. I guess it would be alright for a Ken Watanabe/Cho Yun Fat type dude. That is what I will go for.

>>668594
Also it is done in about 15mins so sorry for the rough look.

>>668561
Nice work. You can always make improvements to this kind of thing for like a product shot type render but if it's going to be a prop for a larger environment it's quality stuff.

>>668600
Have a Pixar for that one!

quick anatomy study from a sphere, the front turned out okay, but I really need to work on the back and buns

The proportion is awful. Reduce the body volume and tilt the dlos.

>>668617
Don't worry, in about 15 years that look will go away.

>>668353
>medieval reenactor

>>666975
How do i go about learning how to create a good composition? I'm usualy just rendering single game assets but theyre so underwhelming as a still image

>>668596
thx bb. i want to go a little overboard with everything on this project and treat most elements like just a little below hero prop level. for this thing specifically i want to work on the normals that drive anisotropy behaviour in arnold.

i also want to try and strike a 'used but well taken care of' look for all assets. i need to stop falling into the trap of overdoing roughness maps and making everything look like it was from a post apocalyptic videogame.

>>668651
>i need to stop falling into the trap of overdoing roughness maps and making everything look like it was from a post apocalyptic videogame.
oath to this

>>668590
nice bong, you use that for tobacco?

>>668602
this is solid mate, nice work

>>668650
Like most things, start by replicating work that's better than yours. Pick a target shot with similar assets to yours, and just get as close to it as possible.

>>668258
>>668459
>>668466
Many Japanese and Asian women have longer bodies and shorter legs. It's one of their genetic neotonic features. You see this proportion used in some japa ese character designs like in K-on!. It's considered cute or kawaii.

Anyone work with tree carcass? looking for some good reference material on joints to other materials. like wood beams > metal I beams. nothing too fancy like a dovetail, just practical stuff that might look cool models

>>668673

>>668674
like this?

because it is.

>>668679
Yup.

>>668677
this is nice, cheers mate

>>668673

>>668684
Thats Caprice on the right isnt it?

Started rendering some detail.

>>668144
I prefer mono modelling myself. What does poly modelling bring to the table? Isn't it just having two Max open with two mouses and working on two project simultaneously?

had a week off school and i've been working on a personal environment piece for the past few days. Pretty much done with the scenery but I'd like to add some life to it, maybe some animals or people?

Working in Blender/Cycles

>>668690
shit man, thats some really nice work, any plans for what your going to put in the center?

>>668692
Initially I was going for a waterfall but liquid simulation is a bitch and my computer is slow as fuck. I might do a paintover later and add the waterfall in post

>>668693
yeah that looks good, unless its animation no pint simulating water, matte that shit in. saw this art a while ago, may or may not be useful

>>668690
>>668693
very nice. are you working off an existing concept or just freestyling?

>>668690
If you post proof that you made all this in a past few days I'll live stream myself blowing my brains out with a 12 gauge

>>668693
>>668698
y-you wouldn't lie like that would you anon, on the internet?

>>668697
this one was heavily inspired by Eddie Mendoza's "Meditation garden". I usually design as I go but this time I felt that I needed a clear end goal to finish the project faster.

>>668698
Ok ok now that I checked I started it 6 days ago, but you always gotta exaggerate your skillz in the internet

>>668702
nah, post actual proof, explorer screenshot, test renders, assets other angles. hell, put a 3d timestamp in the render

>>668702
nice. i'd up the hanging vegetation density like the concept. maybe some cloth banners or ribbons to inject some colour?

also, is the brick work on the pillars just normals/bump? it's a bit of a pet peeve, but if you've got the time try and do displacements.

Working on textures and models, any thoughts?

>>668720
I can almost smell the pine. Although the blocks in the middle of the skylight serve no structural purpose. Old school carpenter here.

>>668721
This one? if your a carpenter, i would really appreciate your advice for the roof, don't really have any experience with this stuff

>>668723
Yes, those are the culprits. They took my warm sunlight.

>>668686
what

>>668730
Oh, the skin detail.

>>668690
Gonna jerk you off too anon, looking good. The lighting and composition really sells it. That and all the little details.
How are you going about lighting?

I think some animals would be pretty great for this.
Maybe some cats walking into the structure, some monkeys on the ledges eating/grooming, some birds perched and some flying.
Either way it's looking good, keep it up.

>>668684
Why the fucking heels thou?

>>668759
It accentuates leg and glute muscles, better 4 anatomy purposes

>>668581
>>668576
I was trying to replicate the resulf of a scan I saw earlier, doesn't matter though I'm starting over cause I think it's shit. I still dig the identing, gonna find someway to make it work.

>>668690
>blender

I wouldn't have guessed it desu.

Put some more work in on >>668484
Ended up re-doing the composition and the drippy thingy to match the shitty thumbnail from earlier (>>668490
), I like it a lot better.
Right now I'm working my way down the image to get the waterfall and bottom sections filled out. Right now the waterfall that's there is a placeholder/blockout. I plan on getting something a little better there.

Ideally, I'd like to have a pool for the waterfall to go into at the bottom, but I'm not really sure how to go about having it, as it'd be a mix of 2 different perspectives. I don't really wanna pull the camera back or mess around with the focal length, as I'm happy with how the top section looks. I guess it'd have to be something I do in post I think.

>>668690
materials are bad

breaker breaker one nine Starfleet on the line:

all we got done today in this navball instrument. was thinking about throwing a flat texture on it but that isn't what this is about. N O NO.

in our defense we were required to do other chores on the ship and meet the obligations normal men everywhere must recognize.

a little here, a little there, gets things done.

looking forward to seeing the progress of other WIP's on this thread.

Gentlemen.

How should I put in edge loops to correct these smooth shading issues? This piece is mostly done, I just need to give it a thorough looking over to correct any problems, add some bevels to sharp edges, and fix the shading. Almost finished this damn gun, once I make the hammer it's just a once-over of everything to correct some old mistakes and a few major adjustments.

>>668794
I'd fix it by going to the questions thread and asking there.
This isn't the place for it.

Shitty mock-up but I like it.

>>668786
Care to elabor8, m8?

>>668799
I >>668798 love it. Man if I could do any of that I would feel like a complete person. I can't even scratch environments. I have no clue how I am going to dare go into space ship making.

>>668799
no

Cheers.

old progress render

>>668710
Definitely more plants, I'm also experiment with colorful plants like the red ones on the right. Just normals&bump, but now that you say it the pillars probably need a little bit of displacement

How?

>>669641
get rid of the n-gons around the holes, make it all quads or at least all quads in non-flat areas
