I don't usually post my work here out of fear of getting cyber bullied till I cry myself to sleep, but oh well.

I'm working on a new project, I do a lot of synthwave/outrun art so that's what the general theme is.
The idea behind this one was me trying to get some sort of Ziggurat to look neat within an outrun setting. I think it works out for the most part so far.
The lighting will change drastically later on, but for now I have an hdri as a placeholder.
The pillars are meant to be clipping into the ground as well, it's more or less sand.

I'm about at the halfway point and it's not really coming together as a whole too well. I'm not really sure what to add to have everything coalesce in a good way. If you have any ideas, I'm down.

I don't understand what the OP post is trying to say. The dictionary is always right.

I like it. Try getting a more dramatic angle for the final shot, something that makes it seem more dramatic and massive.

I love those gridlines as well.

Try adding some neon gradients and the laser sun

sculpted and retopologized in blender, i really need to clean up some folds.
if anyone wanna know, sculpting in blender is a little slow and you should only use modifiers when sculpting, make your shape with subdiv first then apply and add multires modifier

I don't know everything I try its impossible.

How do you get the round shape of a face, I can sculpt individual features but can't get roudness of the face.

Looking at constructions of the face from primitives and that doesn't help.

Maybe i should just start with a basemesh and try to modify that.

I brought a bunch of gumroad videos and the artist just seems to magic a face. I don't understand.

It's going to be part of an animation that's rendered in renderman. I'll probably post it when I have everything modeled, then again when I have everything textured. Trying not to overwork the scene as alot of it won't be scene, so i'll be using alot of duplicate objects and such.

I'm still working with the color palette so that'll probably change in a bit.

I think I'll try to add a moon or something into the scene towards the left side to help balance it out. A laser sun doesn't really seem like it'd fit too well.

Your model looks great, however i'm curious.

If I make a topographical game, where the view is abit above, how do you implement that model? Do you just drasticly remove polygons with a feature?

There is no feature to remove polygons. You have to optimize it yourself.

This model is already as low poly as can be, although you could decrease the poly's on the scope since it wouldn't be as close to the camera in your case. (As opposed to using it for a first person shooter.)

Keep in mind pic related is triangulated

Like I said before, I do Outrun styled artwork, so that's kind of why it's a bit over the top 80s stylization.
I ended up liking 2 angles in particular, so I rendered out 2 versions.

Crit is welcome, but I've already posted it on various outlets, so I won't really be able to change it comfortably without updating like 10 different sites.
I know it's not really the typical stuff on /3/, but hopefully you guys find some redeeming qualities about it.

The building needed some kind of detail it's boring to look at as is

>>529323
>>529324
it feels as if the image has varying levels of crispness in a bad way, ziggurat is sharp, grid is kinda blurred, the big lights in the ziggurat are very blurred

>>529339
I think that's the bloom.
Guess I haven't quite gotten a handle on it yet.
I tried to control varying levels of it on the different areas of the image.
Maybe I should have left the grid and detail lines on the ziggurat alone.
It's an easy fix.

>>529338
I agree about the detail work. In hindsight I could have probably added some variation to the way it was constructed. Maybe some medieval ramparts like a castle would have worked. I think that's present in middle east architecture.
I couldn't really go too detailed, I wanted the lines to suggest most of the form, similar to some of the vehicles and such in the older Tron movies.

>>529368
If you really need to compress the files at least go DTX or STC, then at least you are using the formats a GPU will use for real time work.

>>529368

Hey anon, i'll probably say something you already know, but it may be helpfull to someone.

Jpeg actually compresses the info of your image, making it crappy. Even if it seems OK at first glance, if you notice something later on and try to do some post-production on it, you'll find a lot of artifacts and shit stuff.

That's because Jpeg is a 8 bit image, making it store only 256 values of information.
A .Tiff or .exr can hold 16 or 32 bit info, making your life easier on those post production stuff.

If you texture first, you can see how your right is going to stretch those textures when you animate the model. That being said, you could simply UV the model and texture it with a repeating checkerboard like image attached, and accomplish the same thing without having to do a full on texture.

>>529210
I think the hair looks good, but it looks pretty weird where it reaches the edges.
Especially where it's a bit thin, like on the side.
Maybe cheating and having the area under the hair darker to appear more full would help out. Or making the hair nearest the edges a bit straighter.

I don't really know. It just seems out of place for some reason. Then again, I guess I don't really pay super close attention to how the hairlines of black people work. Or any people really.

As someone that has a terrible time with sculpting faces (or anything, for that matter), it's really cool to see something like this. I'm assuming you're the same guy from >>528942 ?

I have a bunch of WIPs, but I guess I can post the one that I believe to be the furthest along would be MGS3 Big Boss. Took reference pics (front, side, back) of the MGS5 model and started box modeling. I'll add more folds in during the sculpting process after I'm done with all the buckles.

The weathering and edge wear they teach these days generally makes no sense. Everyone that comes out of schools nowadays makes it more or less exactly like this too and it's particularly irritating. No idea why nor when people decided this was a good idea.

haha it's cause people edge wear based on occlusion way too much rather than doing more interesting/logical breakup and thinking about what is actually causing the wear

Yeah it's just the default Substance metal texture. I'll tweak it to make the weathering more realistic.

They call it 'curvature based' edge wear, and I'll show you what it's based on.

It's one of the more bizarre and stupid practices that have become industry standard because some stupid metal lamp post in England covered in cheap Chinese paint got slightly chipped when some drunkard bumped into it. But people now go WAY overboard with what should have been just minor entropic touches and removed all semblances of "reality" that they were trying to add in the first place.

And this is the desired effect. Ignoring just how far off 100% of schools teach how to achieve this effect are, the notion alone that every single painted metal object should look like this (or the I Have A Diploma™ version of it, rather) is just as stupid.

Effect of a month of learning. Critique needed

>>530084
Praise: Very nice modeling and styling

Critique: Materials have a steep learning curve in comparison to inorganic modeling. It's easy to just slap something onto the meshes but you definitely want to start learning those because they make all the difference. Making the glass part transparent/translucent so you can see the wick and mechanism would add a lot to the image, as would making the lantern's body something more realistic than brass or gold plate.

>>530084
Model is fine, I really like it. Materials need work, brass doesn't reflect that way normally, it's got too much diffused specular.

Overall though really nice job, just put some work into the materials and you'll get a much better looking result, try using prefab materials if you're lost and modify them.

>>530084
Well done, but the Materials look to "clean". Every Material should have at least 6 layers of stuff on it, for example a little bit of dirt, grime, dust, kerosene specks/drops, fingerprints, possible metal behaviour to heat, some scratches on the metal and glas etc. It doesn't even need to be much, even if you go for a cleaner commercial like look, always imagine an Item being used and what might happen to it, to give it a more natural look.

Why no blender? I think it works perfectly fine for the unbeatable price of $0
But why do I know, Im just a noob.

Anyways working my way through my first sculpt is quite fun

>>530124
If you want stay with blender for a little just to get good, I used to use it too.

Once you get Zbrush you'll find the tools and interface of Blender severely lacking. It's like unscrewing something with a screwdriver versus a power drill.

Besides all software is free

>>530124
the problem with blender that it lags when u need to add small details and subdivides over 4 million polys
in comparison to zbrush it lags alot, also zbrush have unique tools like dynamesh which dynatopo is not comparable too.
i use sculpting in blender to give hard surface objects some detail, never went for a full character but i might try soon

>>530131
>>530134

Maybe I'll try sculptris later, my stupid morals tell me not to pirate stuff.

If I ever git gud maybe I'll buy zbrush

>>530135
Don't worry about pirating stuff especially if you just want to learn. I want to work in the industry but I can't afford thousands of dollars in software.
The only way for me to compete with anyone else is to pirate software. Besides these companies make their money by from big studios not Joe Blow

What do you have against lift noses ?

>>530102
looks nice, working on a scene?

>>530052
Just go check out Speedtree for Unity. Look at the models and try to copy it.

Don't even know why people insist on being handheld with tutorials every step of the way... Tutorials are just supposed to be to learn the software, not one for every single model. Learn the basics of modeling yourself and then apply that same knowledge to every other model you make.

>>530102
Too much bevel for my taste, everything looks way too smooth at the edges, but I guess a lot of games and shit does this nowdays, so yea...

Looks good. Though I fail to understand how they operate that shelf, do they have a ladder they bring out everytime they need something from the top shelf?

>>529986
I always build a backstory for every object I create.

For example, where in it's history is this object right now? Just off the assembly line, or has it been stored in a shed for 30 years? This would determine approximatly how faded the color would be.

Then if it has ever been in combat that might give it a battlescar from being hit, that would cause major wear right there. Or did it fall down on it's back? Then there might be scratches on the edges and or surfaces that hit the ground. Possibly on the hands and arms as well as it used those to rise up again. On the other hand if it never saw any type of testing or combat it shouldn't have the slightest wear.

Anyway, building backstories can be quite fun and I do it for everything, way more indepth than that. You should start doing it as well, and use your brain to determine where there logically should or shouldn't be wear or weathering.

You're right. They do look "off" in comparison to the rest of the model.

i think its because of the clash of styles, the body has very little detail to it and is more flatshaded while the tshirt and pants have lots of small details hand painted on them. Either decrease the contrast on the shirt and pants or increase the contrast and hard shadows on the skin.

if you have roblems with smoothing out the bumps and shit due to bad topology or the mesh being too dense, ether drop te resolution, you might want to remesh and reproject to give yourself more sub levels
or use the flatten brushesh that are not topology based, hpolish and trimdynamic are amazing for that fallowed then by teh smooth brush
you want to remove as much noise from the sculpt as possible, sice you are not going for that clay looking sculpt the occasional imperfection is very distracting

as for the smile, the smile, one of the most important part are the smile lines
you are making a young female character, and those especially in Disney form have lot of babyfat cheeks, plump and round to make them look cuter, like a baby
so while you maybe dont want to have the smile lines crisp and sharp you do want to have that roundness of cheeks moved back to indicate the displacemnt of facial features
here s a great example, the smirk on the left side clearly creates a very smooth and round smile line, but its there, a smooth convex shape fallowed by very smooth rounded cheeks
you need to avoid that duckface look

What is the correct pipeline from high poly to low poly (20-40k quads) in zbrush? I don't have a base mesh and i used mostly dynamesh to create alle the different objects.


Do people retopo every subtool individually? If someone could guide me with a step by step of what to do i would be very thankful.
