Post what you're working on!


To that faggot that started the other thread: It's not hard to google the "gay official picture" if you don't have it, is it?

[Anonymous No.472028]

a scene i've been working on

critiques welcome.

[Anonymous No.472029]

the polypaint is just so i can get a better idea of the forms so not final. lots of tweaking, got reference burn-out.

[Anonymous No.472030]

>>472029

I really liked her in the show, she's a model i might build down the road after Aya.
I'm no pro but remember the edges the characters in the show have, makes a big difference for the style they used.

Also for references i'm at the point where i want to pay some draw fag to make some for me, sad i know...

[Anonymous No.472031]

>>472028
the doorway up top seems too short, where are the shadows for the tables, everything is too hard edged(not sure if that is what you want), i have a lamp like that.

[Anonymous No.472032]

>>472030
yeah the edges are a bitch, for the moment i'm just trying to get the right forms before hardening certain areas, very long way to go. I have like 4gb of reference pics, its amazing how much anatomy they actually put into the models but it is hidden 99% of the time.

[Anonymous No.472033]

>>472032

GL anon, i look forward to your final result, hopefully you'll post.

As for me i'm working on a Dee DOT* bust, my second face model, learned and still learning allot as i go along. Sorting out the eyes next then onto sculpting details.

[Anonymous No.472034]

>>472033
the cheeks at the corner of her lips seems weird, did you model this using topology or sculpting?
good start though.

[Anonymous No.472036]

>>472034

Topology, it's the base mesh, sculpting comes next to refine things.
It's not 100% especially the eye area, but so far it's inline with that Batman art style.
I plan to copout on the eyes and do a plane instead of a proper eye, when i tried initially with a sphere it showed the big problems with the cheek area.

Forgive the excuses but it's my first bust and 2nd face model so i plan to go a step further with the next one instead of trying to fixing the current.

[Anonymous No.472037]

>>472036
yeah i figured topology, that kind of effect happens when you model like that sometimes, easy fix though. her cheekbone should be out a little more based on Timm's concept.

[Anonymous No.472038]

>>472037

I'll see what i can do when sculpting to get it close.
But yeah, another flaw with references i need to get the hang of.
Hard to judge outline as cheek or jaw area when building up.

[Anonymous No.472039]

>>472038
most of his characters have same face, i'd hunt down some action figures of his other women and see how they did certain things. her bottom lip looks much thicker than the ref too, hope that helps.

Batman Beyond was't all THAT terrible. I mean it was a bit formulaic and angsty, but it wasn't bad towards the end.

I just wish they had gotten a proper ending instead of that episode tacked on to Justice League. The show could have been good with a more mature theme like what they're doing with the new animated movies. But it was still supposed to be a kid's show.

The city had some sweet designs though. Reminded me of Blade Runner, and maybe Akira.

Just a room

[Anonymous No.472168]

>>472164
Are the little inconsistencies deliberate?

The desk is floating in the air, the middle shelf on the left seems to be a weird shape (the left edge doesn't extend all the way), on the top right the top most shelf is a different thickness from the middle and left portion

I kinda think the whole shelf should have a little more bevel but maybe not, I know how that particle board shelf stuff can have super sharp corners (because all the pieces are just cut by machines in an assembly line like setting).

I really like the colors, I'm not sure about the lighting though, needs something on the left instead of a white void (I'm guessing that's a light emitting plane that you forgot to make invisible to the camera), even just a simple hallway wall

Yea it's on purpose cause it's not done yet, I'm adding the wheels to desk, the shelf does not extend cause in that point it will be covered by a piece of the big window that im gonna put on that hole in the wall, the lighting is a vRaySun, the white will be removed, and I'm gonna place a plane with a bitmap to make the background

>>472169
Thanks, it's actually the room where I sleep, nice style

>>472180
I know, I need to fix some camera settings and change the parquet, still trying to figure out what would be good for this room, and there's light there, it's just the vraysun with low shutter speed on camera, I will try some tweaking, if I don't leave the shutter speed as it is, the scene gets really dark

I'm a freelancer, this is part of a bigger project for a studio I'm working for right now. Basically they hired me because they don't have enough guys to handle all the modeling (there's loads of other structures that have to be made)

So yeah, I just model the bridges, texture them and send them over, hence no fancy renders because as soon as I'm done I have to start with the next one.

Can't tell you too much about the project itself unfortunately since I signed an NDA. It's an Ad campaign for a big company.

I'm the person who did the skull. That isn't a five minute sculpt.

/3/ is full of trolls. But, you should work with the lowest subdivison possible and then move up. Your model is too lumpy.

You should be thinking can I work on another piece of the model before I up subdivision. Can I even go down a subdivision level at this point.

[Anonymous No.472598]

Just a quick one shop, next time your doing a large render which will take a while its a good idea to render out in passes, this is very easy to do and takes only a few seconds to set up, google it.

Youll want to render out (if your using vray) the diffuse, ambient occlusion, reflection and refraction at the minimum. Vray creates these anyway while your rendering but doesnt save them out, you can set it so that it does however. It doesnt add anything to the render time. The work is good though I like it. I would maybe change the camera angle though, personally id move it to the right a bit, and look towards the left far corner a bit more, I wouldnt show as much of the first floor as you have as theres not much going on up there. (I know its hard because you spent time modelling etc up there but your trying to show a finished piece not the work it took, if that makes sense)

Sorry about my grammar, I am actually a native english speaker my grammar etc is just shitty. Good work though mate definitely better than my first piece and I do this full time for a living now ;)

[Anonymous No.472786]

>>472733
Also put a bit of glossy reflection on that wood floor it will look real nice around the window if youve got a bump map on there. Same with the light shade panels and TV Screen. Im just nit picking here too but skew the placement of the tables a little, try to tell a story with the image. Like what you have done with the pillow on the left side sofa, it looks like someone has knocked the pillow over.

it sorta looks like what you could get if you crossed a GUNDAM with an AC. you should totally try exporting it from sketchup, so you can use a more sophisticated renderer. that said....cleaning up the model in the new program will take a while, as the exporter likes to randomly flip and detach faces...

Sometimes in game graphics you end up with geo that look a lot like the first picture because it allow you to do some clever stuff with UV space and texture tiling.

In cinema 4d I usually select all the polygons and triangulate them, and work from there, melting unnecessary polys and what not.

3ds max might have similar tools that allow you to do this

[Anonymous No.473651]

>>473641
Tried selecting all polys and clicking "retriangulate". Didn't do anything. Weird.

[Anonymous No.473652]

>>473651
retriangulate flips the triangle direction of quads. You know how when a quad polygon isn't planar, it gets a bend in it from one vert to the opposite vert?
automatic triangulation is lazy and in this case unnecessary. Just manually connect verts to create quads or tris.

[Anonymous No.473653]

>>473652

It depends on the complexity and shape of the model so sometimes one would benefit from manually do it rather than automaticaly

it's a good practice to not leave polygons just "for the fun", use only the ones you really need, either because of texture mapping, or to give more quality to the model. in your case, it's just 54, for now. on my case, doing a polygon cleanse of a high poly roman helmet i didn't do removed between 5k and 9k polygons.

[Anonymous No.473828]

Yes, but probably not necessary. With bad settings you can easily end up with a render that takes 10x ++ the time to finish as one properly set up.

Take the time to learn your render, what does what and what values to use when and why.
There are so many scenarios that it's impossible to really create a standard push the button setup that works for everything.

Some wip jump cycle i'm working on.

[Anonymous No.473959]

>>473955
Don't actually move the characters position when you're animating. Not only does code drive a characters position in a game, but the up/down movement makes it harder to see the animation.
If you want it to look like it's moving add an hdri background and move that up and down in the VP, that way the character stays centered and readable.
I like the stretch before he descends. Maybe bring the knees/feet up more with some follow through before as he reaches the top of his jump.

[Anonymous No.473968]

>>473959
>Don't actually move the characters position when you're animating
This was a timing and spacing. It's much easier to animate the master control for this because it helped me visualize the timing and spacing. Normally I don't touch it, but in this case it's so much easier. Plus since it's not going into a game engine (cause the rigs aren't game ready), i don't mind breaking the rule to learn.
>but the up/down movement makes it harder to see the animation.
Well it's a jump, how else am i going to animate a jump without it moving .
>I like the stretch before he descends. Maybe bring the knees/feet up more with some follow through before as he reaches the top of his jump.
Yeah I was thinking about this. I still have some work to do with it and a lot of it is just polishing things. Pretty happy with it so far though. Also thinking about adding a little bit (like two or so frames) more hang time in the apex of the jump.

Appreciate the crit.

[Anonymous No.473976]

>>473968
>Well it's a jump, how else am i going to animate a jump without it moving .
Exactly the same way you animate it with up and down movement. I guess you could animate the master control up/down to help with the poses, and then delete the channels on the master ctrl afterwards. I still think for the purpose of showcasing your animation it looks better to have the model motionless. It helps you see the secondary motion, follow through, overlap etc a lot easier than if you have to track the movement up and down.
Btw is that model built from separate meshes?

A simple joint drives the mass, a collision deformer for surface dimples and a jiggle deformer for mas delay. It works okayish, but the mesh isn't dense enough for squish folds and such.

[Anonymous No.474269]

>>474267
I hope that isnt in Maya, because Maya's jiggle deformer is horrific. If it is Maya, try the joint for the main motion, could add a dynamic joint chain to that, soft body low poly proxy for squish/collision, then wrap a high poly to that proxy mesh.

crank down GI, even "outdoor - preview" will be alright, use physical renderer, adaptive - medium settings and lower whatever other render settings you previously cranked up. If the grass is created by "hair" use "grass" instead, it's way faster, or use just texture instead of it. if you use displacement with sup-polygon-displacement, lower number of subdivisions, it increases exponentially, same goes for subdivision surface.

before I extruded all the faces, I selected the ones on the side of the lid, moved the rotation pivot to the point at the bottom of it, and just rotated all the selected faces a bit. Same on the other side (using maya btw)
