That shading is really bad. I don't know what exactly is bad about it, maybe the high saturation or the strength of the red tone... If you are trying to replicate a 2D art style, know that no good 2D artist would pick the look you have chosen, of that I am certain.

>>537116
the front of the face would appear to be a flat surface if drawn like normal anime but here it's shaded like the center is moved forward. would either need to be actually flat in the front or have custom normals.

you ever see the movie Dread? it has a woman with a huge birthmark and that's all i can think of with this shading, or the firebender from Avatar

Looking good, I like the hex barrel. Any chance of posting some wireframes / non-orthographic shots?

Some critiques;

The revolver you're modeling uses an older method of round / casing extraction by means of a little loading gate, generally on the right side of the gun. The lower "barrel" holds a lever you can depress backwards to knock out shells, and it usually sits just off to the lower right side of the barrel at roughly 45 degrees.

Should be an easy fix since your barrel is hex. If you snap rotation to 45 degrees, you could just detach the barrel, rotate it and put it in place.

Also you might want to invest some time in further smoothing out / rounding out the grip. It's looking pretty good otherwise.

Doing yet another gun, working on a model of an unused/cut rifle from Half-Life 2. Looks to be based on the .50 LAR Grizzly Big Boar.

I'm having a bit of trouble punching the holes in the side to expose the barrel beneath. I thought about just taking the cheap and nasty way of floating geometry projecting the illusion of capsule shaped indents on it, but I'd like to try an exercise in getting the details as accurate as possible using actual geometry.

I've tried using boolean / proboolean (pics inbound) but it makes it difficult to cleanly connect the inner and outer edges of the barrel carriage.

>>537145
add some vertices around where the holes will be booleaned out to pad the geometry, perhaps with added loops

They look okay from what I can see, but the texture and overall shape could always use more refinement.

Things like the grips for example, look strangely curved at the corners where they should be either angular, or just slightly rounded. The foresight on the gun is also really wide and should be narrow enough to line up with the gap of the rear sight. The ejection port also needs to be cut away a bit more over the right side of the gun.

Best thing you can do (if you're doing weapons) is look for as many reference photos from different angles as you can. Take the time to get the shape right, and never rush it. One good way to get started when doing guns is, if applicable, find side shot of it and trace the silhouette when needed to help keep it in proportion. The diameter of the Barrel shown in these can also help you get the overall thickness and proportion of the rest of the gun right.

As for the texture, try and locate areas with hard edges where wear and tear would show, so scratches, dings, and general marking. You can put these into a specular mask and they'll show up really well.

whats the best place for some nice free textures?

Mesh is okay, albeit a bit low poly. Your texture needs a lot of work though, as texture is super important for lower poly meshes.

Try modeling in finer details, things like switches, slide grooves etc. Stuff that covers a large area with a pattern such as the non-slip grip dots could be done using either concave or convex floating geometry.

im making this stuff (this particularly just being testing junk) for a game me and a friend are piecing together slowly but surely and im a bit paranoid in regard to polycount. I dont know whats too much completely. Im not real great at texturing either.
learning all of this stuff has been a pretty enduring process.
I have a long way to go yet.

>>537169
That's the only way to learn, keep it up.

As for polycounts, it doesn't matter nearly as much as it used to. Way back in say, 2003, you had to be a lot more conservative about them. The best way to figure it out might be to look at current games that have the same style you're going after, and find out what the polycounts are for those objects, scenes, how many on-screen at a time etc.

It's also a matter of using polys correctly based on the item. First person weapons viewmodel? It's close to the camera, it's going to need a good solid polycount. Skybox building far away? You could probably get away with 6 polys, a simple cube.

If you can texture effectively and make use of things like normalmapping, you can "cheat" the higher polycount look, but this feels like it's almost becoming obsolete.

When I did weapons for Half-Life 2 about a decade ago, the first person view model for weapons was about 3000 by source engine limitations/standards. Nowadays I sometimes hit 10 000 polys for the low poly model.

The USP Match pistol I did here >>537159 is 2850 polys if you exclude the high poly geometry used for making normalmaps. 2850 for a modern game engine is a cakewalk, and I probably should have smoothened out the edges further, but every few thousand polys saved is a few more thousand that can go on more interesting assetts like human faces and whatnot.

>>537175
I cant help but be somewhat jealous of your skills man lol

I feel like the problem is the mixed soft shading and hard shading. The faces have soft shadows on the nose and eyes but some wierd sharp shadows on the side and body that doesn't fit.

I'd just get rid of the sharp shadows and make everything look soft. That would go much better with the intended style.

I've been at it since January of 2009, although I mostly do guns and architecture stuff, props, mechanical junk. Never have been good with humans or organics though.

Before that, I did brush-based models in Valves HL2 Hammer Editor. Hammer is actually still my preferred way to bang out an architectural design or structure, but max is awesome for details.

Never honestly thought I'd be able to do this kind of work though, it's only just "snapped" inside me recently that my models are actually a hell of a lot better than they were even just last year or so.

One thing that kind of helped me is patience - always take the time to model out finer details. If you take the time to model out all the tiny switches, levers, bits and pieces of an item, it makes it look a hell of a lot more detailed and complete, rather than just texturing it in.

Yep, the reason it is so big initially is that it must accommodate the bolt housing, which is really thick and also contains the firing pin. It narrows down a bit further up the barrel where it holds the round casing in place to stop it from being knocked up the barrel, and another small narrow area which is the exact diameter of the round itself.

I matched Valves specifications and dimensions of their original rifle, and I agree, the barrel and gun itself is just stupid thick, but I kind of like how beefy it makes it look. It looks as though you could go truck hunting with it.

>>537331
I never said I made it. It's a snapshot I took in UE4 not Cryengine (see filename) from the Four Funnels project "Titanic: Honor [sic] & Glory". I was just using it as a reference regarding how far things have advanced since the mid 2000s. You can get away with a lot more polys onscreen. Details like the depressions and etchings in the walls and ceilings are all now modeled in rather than using normalmaps. Either way, didn't mean to come across as looking though I made it.

>>Unsmoothed edges
Generally I'll do a smoothing group pass very late, or when the model itself is complete since the mesh is constantly being worked on and changed.

>>Meshes connecting ugly
I'm not 100% sure what you mean, can you redline an example (by which I mean show how it's bad, and how it should look)?

>>smoothing artifacts due to bad topology, etc.
If you're referring to the sniper rifle, it is still heavily incomplete and a WIP (hence posting in this thread). I'm very picky about getting the measurements of each area to line up correctly, and at the moment I still need to correct a lot of that.

Also care to show me one of your own models? I'd like to see what I'm doing wrong and work on it.

>>537349
Cut into the pipes at 45 degrees. If the pipes are the same diameter, they should connect/weld just fine.

>>537355
Perhaps etchings is not the correct term. I meant any kind of extrusion like a windowframe or ceiling/floor trim etc. Balustrades are modeled in rather than being a simple alphamapped texture with translucency.

Way back when, this stuff was all a flat wall texture with a normalmap and a window sometimes cut out in it. Now things like the windowframe etc are modeled in. Normalmaps are still used for finer details like fine engravings, but things like the ceiling trims that run adjacent to the wall and ceiling are modeled in.

>>537349
Sadly a bunch of other anons gave you information, but you should ignore them and clear your mind. If you want to become a better modeller (assuming you know about the main tools in your 3D package), you should think of how to solve this problem. It's a good way too use critical thinking skills in order to make this become second nature. I know you're probably learning but utilizing your problem solving skills will help you indefinitely for poly modelling. Turn on wireframe over the matte materials while modelling and just problem solve. I know you can do it.

You have probably at least another 99 badly shaped faces inside of you, which must be purged out before you get to the good stuff.
At this stage you should look A LOT at anatomy and references, maybe draw a little bit and sculpt. Don't put too much energy into finishing or polishing or texturing, just keep building face shapes.
There is a discrepancy between what you want and what you are able to archive.
That is the "Valley of Suck".
You gotta go through it, and it takes time and can be frustrating.
If you give up, you loose.
Its important to know that this is a thing and all Artists have to go through it.
That's why you should not attach your ego to your work.

And thank you to everyone who posts their work and criticism. Even if it's just 'that sucks', it helps overcome that blindness you get to your work's flaws after spending too long on it. Knowing that other people hate it makes it easier to see more of the errors.

That's why I post on 4chan and not other forums; because when you fuck up, people are not afraid to say so. It's harsh and kind of painful to read, but learning should be kind of painful and I'd rather be fucking up and getting called out for it than doing what I'm comfortable with. Because if I'm not fucking up, that means I'm not pushing myself beyond what I'm capable of. Man's reach must ever exceed his grasp and all that.

My first try at a mech. I'm using merchwarrior's Catapult as a reference. I do modeling only for 3d printing, so I probably won't go past adding a single material for everything. I'm also using floating geometry to see if I like something before attaching it to my geometry, which never occured to me (yeah duh).

Things are still too stuck to xyz planes but I'll keep working this way for now and probably add a FFD later, since I'm a bit of OCD with vertex alignment and not very experienced to working with non planar stuff.

/3/ should discuss facial topology more.

Start over, anon. Watch tutorials.
I'm about to break the /3/ code, but fuck everyone who says "just practicemore hurr".
You NEED to watch tutorials and look at references on how pros do things.

You have too many polys that serve no purpose.
Your loop flow is incredibly fucked.
Your poles are bizarre.
You have an uneven amount of polys above vs below the lip.
You have too many polys that serve no purpose.

It's basically just fucked. Start over.

T O P O L O G Y

Topology and proper loop flow is absolutely everything when doing traditional modeling.

And no, you can't ignore it if you decide to just learn how to sculpt instead. This is something everyone needs to understand because retopologizing exists.
If you choose to ignore it, you'll have a ton of fun trying to weight a character with the disgusting mesh topology zbrush spits out.

Look at this pic. See how fucking beautiful and uniform everything is?
This is what you should strive for, and even in this example, the topology isn't perfect.

Regardless, still better than my first attempt.

>>537685
I've never understood how/why people work with such high poly-counts. I always end up with relatively low-poly meshes and rely on subdivisions to smooth it because it simplifies things immensely.

Are film-production meshes typically that dense at the creation level?

>>537685
i think the guy knows what topology means
he is just not good enough to apply that knowledge.

not all people are dedicated enough to make head a day.

>>537686
>Are film-production meshes typically that dense at the creation level?

much more if we are talking hollywood.
at this high level of art people don't count every edge you make because they have large fundings and can render on more than one computer

>>537688
What I mean is, doesn't adding so many polys just make the mesh more difficult to work with, not computationally, for the artist.

I mean, Sintel there looks fine but that's because the head is separate from the body, if you were to have it attached to one, all of those loops are going to be a pain to manage.

>>537675
yep thanks
lookin alright

>>537693
>What I mean is, doesn't adding so many polys just make the mesh more difficult to work with, not computationally, for the artist.

the artist sculpts the model. another guy does retopology (not always) and another guy is doing the textures.

this is how production pipeline works

>>537693

This
>>537697

You've also got to consider that on well designed models, mostly everything is set up for loops.

I'm fairly certain mostly everything is sculpted nowadays, but if for whatever reason you're creating a high-poly model traditionally, you're going to want to set up very good edgeflow and loops from the beginning, to not make your work devolve into hell.

So while at the beginning of the modeling process you're editing 200-300 different verts, near the end you're editing 200-300 different LOOPS.

Modeling is a very procedural process. You don't immediately jump to the highest number of loops possible right off the bat.
You shape and define with whatever you've got, until you can't shape or define anymore.

And then you add a loop.
And you shape and define that loop to add detail.

And then you add another loop.

The process goes on until you're satisfied with the amount of detail you've got.
It's very rare to have to reshape an entire model after you've already got all your definition laid down, and at that point it may even be easier to just start over.

This is, of course, only one method of modeling. Box modeling, specifically.
Edge modelers on the other hand are crazy fuckers.
I can't wrap my head around how they process information into their models. It's an entirely different process.

>>537698
looking at many realtime models before (the ones that are fitting for computer games) most of the edges in the model are uniform. meaning they have far apart and have about the same distance from eachother.

the face however can be more dense. its hard to understand this process completely until you done retoplogy more than dozen times until you get perfect bakes in all of your maps.

it is a process that require alot of practice. however there are unique tools to help you do this quickly, there are some quad-drawing tools that let you mark the topology on a surface and it draws loops around it then lets you adjust the number of loops you want.

a good artist will most likely to be equipped with such tools as production work can be very tedious.

>>537615
Cute.

This anon is mai waifu.

>>537685
Well, thanks. I have a very rough idea about topology I guess I should look more into it.

Trying to make procedural rock materials, what do you think?

>>537787
Harder edges, they look bubbly and a little too soft in a lot of areas, but really good otherwise. Are they all low poly without normal or spec maps?

>>537788
15k verts on most, not sure - I think that would be medium poly?

And yeah, no normal or spec map

>>537789
>15k verts
Oh, so they aren't baked yet. They could easily be sub-100 verts. "Medium poly" is determined by the context I guess. I think most vidya characters now a day are at least that much at their "low poly" stage.

Could be wrong, but I don't think normal or spec maps have much of an effect on high poly models since those maps come from the high poly models and baked to the low poly. Anyway, you should create a primitive like a sphere and shrinkwrap it around the rocks to get easily made sub-100 vert low poly versions of those rocks.

>>537790
I don't like the rocks really, they werent even my focus here. I wanted to find out if I can make rock materials that can be slapped on anything and look okay

>>537791
The red rocks look pretty good. The texture on the gray rocks may be okay but the rocks themselves look pretty bad. The moss or the grass looks realy bad, like paint, but it may look alright if you added moss in as a separate object or as hair.

>>537792
Yeah, thought about handling the moss that way.

Not sure how to do it tough. The placement of the moss is controlled wit hnodes, so its always the 'top' part of the mesh. No idea how could I do that with hair or particles

>>537698
I dunno, edge modeling just felt more natural to me.
You make a cylinder and then extrude it into a torso.
You make holes in the cylinder and extrude arms out of it, etc.
You are in control of every single loop, so you can build to topology step by step.

When I am presented with box modeling, my brain just shuts down. "You mean you can shape a box into a torso while still having in mind how many edges the limbs will have? Uh? Huh?"

>>537787

Bendy bus becomes a battlewagon. Nice.

>>537787

I don't know much about rocks, but shouldn't there be a bit more in the way of lines running through them? I think only igneous rock would have that texture but the squared off shapes are more characteristic of sedimentary rock if I remember my geology from school.

Also, that lichen looks very green and even. I seem to remember it usually having a lot of grey and yellow and being more patchy with less preference for only growing on the sunny side.

Sharp edges need a bit more 'wear' effect on them, making them paler too, I think.

Overall though, it looks pretty decent. The pink ones look best in my opinion.

>>537980

Good point. I've been meaning to replace them too

They look like go kart pedals

>>537976
Ok so at least I accomplished something... this is based on alien, hellraisers chatter and RE lickers

Care to elaborate? I'm all ears for criticism but if it's all "this is bad" I wouldn't ask for opinions. This is like my second scultp, I'm well aware that it sucks, need tips on what to improve

>>537977
The pedals are not a problem for me, but it is lacking a lot of other controls. Two small screens don't make sense, even modern cars have a single lcd cluster with multiple indicators and modes. Also keep in mind that levers and knobs are better controllers than touch screen. I don't know if that's what the screens are meant to be, but physical controlers are more instinctive because you can know where they are by touch, which is a huge disadvantage of touch screens.

Finally it's too symmetrical, ofc it's a work in progress, but try to keep in mind that it becomes a bit uncanny on the long run

lack of structure mostly
where are the pectoral muscles, where is the ribcage etc

also i know some might call giger for inspiration, but to me he was creepy weird fuck who couldnt draw for shit and couldnt disconnect his professorial work form his personal fetish obsessions
the reinterpretation of his work by other artists are much better, and use his style as detail to a believable structure than a replacement of it

anyway, with a second sculpt its hopeless, it will be 200 sculpts before you will be able to realize your visions fully
focus on anatomy and structure for now

I hope I don't sound full of shit, but I know the chest muscles are not anatomicaly correct. I try to sculpt monster with bizarre anatomies, but I think I might be jumping ahead too much since I never tried a standard humanoid, and that's the second sculpt I post that someone calls my attention to anatomy.

I guess I'll move a few steps back and try a standard anatomy first, thanks for making me realize that

Cute, but seems undecided if it wants to be realistic or stylised. Simplify the boots if it's meant to be stylised, work out the structure of everything else (how do the sleeves stay up, how does the cloth on the torso hang, what is that hat made of and how was it formed, etc) if it's meant to be realistic.

>>538059
anatomy is the most important aspect of character design
you can shit all over a piece design wise and it will still look good with proper forms and anatomy
many people confuse anatomy with humanoid look, which just isnt the case, district 9 aliens looked great exactly since they made sense, not since people love bugs so much and were blown away by bug aliens idea

goddamn at least round the corners on the pedals or something.

Pedals honestly don't make much sense in a spacecraft unless it's meant to be flown in the atmosphere like the Shuttle. They're the rudder. In space two sticks with twist for 6 DoF flight would make more sense.

its fine, just have confidence in your texturing shading and its gonna be alright senpai

>>538196

fix your model, your topology is most likely fucked. Those are some funky artifacts, especially the square one on the table leg.

>>538094
Looks like that sims kind of style

>>538194
check your normals

>>538194
You need to add more support edge loops. See those distortions coming from under the table where the legs meet the surface? You need to add edge loops around the outside, pushing them close to the legs. Do this wherever necessary and do it seperate from the low poly. Duplicate it, add a bunch of supporting edge loops, then bake it down to the low poly. Use that baked high poly normal map as a base. I'm not sure how Substance Painter handles it, but you should certainly be able to import a base normal map to edit on top of.

i just decided to say fuck it and remodel it using box modeling instead of using curves
finally came out silky smooth and with a lower polycount

i have a hunch it had something to do with me using curves since i hardly have any experience using them

>>538219
the only reason it looks different is because the normals are set hard. look up how normals work in relation to shading; it's a a ridiculously basic topic that so few people here seem grasp. i can't blame people for that; the problem is people giving instruction to beginners basically never talk about it. smooth groups/soft hard edges? those relate to your normals. each face and triangle has a normal that affects how the model looks when shaded and when you're assigning smoothing groups in max or setting edge hardness in maya what it's doing is averaging out those normals or setting the normals to the face value. understanding WHY this change in the normal direction affects how your model looks when shaded is important to understand

The proportions look pretty terrible, but that's kind of inevitable considering the source. I think you've improved on the GW design while still keeping it close enough to the original that it has the same style. The one thing I would try and do is bring the hips together a bit; I know space marines traditionally have breeding hips capable of bearing a servo-skull, but the art of them with normal pelvis anatomy looks so much better and you can still give them the 'shit my power armour' squat if you like.

>>538232

Looks pretty good, but I think the material needs a bit more thickness to it.

>>538251

Looks good to me, but don't most 3D printers have issues with geometry sticking through other geometry?

Also, aren't there already good kits of it out there? Why go to the effort of 3D printing something you can buy?

>>538417
I suspect that you are going to have issues with the wings unless you start figuring out how they attach to the torso properly before doing anything else.

>>538426
Are you planning to do eyelids?

The quads around the eye and the parts closest to the mouth don't form a proper loops. This will cause issues. Do a loop cut and see how your edges go all over the place.

>>538427
Not sure those hands work with the rest stylistically. You've got three different kinds of joint on one character, which is probably too much.

>>538441
Yea I was just free styling the hands. I didn't sketch it out first so there's that. Gonna try a couple more.

>I suspect that you are going to have issues with the wings unless you start figuring out how they attach to the torso properly before doing anything else.

Yeah you're right. I didn't even think very much about the pose of the wings and I noticed now that they cover alot of the body up when looking at it from certain angles. Thank you for pointing that out.

So far all the existing kits and 3D models are based off the drawings in the Colonial Marines Technical Manual which are very different from the studio model and real vehicle.

I based this off the studio model and real vehicle.

As far as I know having parts intersecting aren't an issue as long as they are "watertight". An STL file only reads the outside surface of a model, so parts that stick inside are ignored.

I am going to separate it into some parts and have it printed in scale for 15mm models.

My first try at modeling from a sketch. Any tips?

>>538628
needs more anatomy

>>538628
the chest, seems to wide. I Don't like the breasts. shoulders are to sharp. Fix the neck when you got a chance, because they're pinched all around. the butt needs a complete overhaul. and over all, I think her stomach/pelvis is to long. Probably other things. But this is just to be more clear than the last comment.

>>538628
I quite like it as a stylised piece, but the lower backside has severe issues.

Is it from your own sketch and can you show that to us?

>>538628

dat ass tho

>>538523
Parts look a bit doughy but I really like this. What's it for/from?

>>538570
Looks like fucking garbage

Just kidding. Good work, man

>>538544
cant improve in days
you are trying to give in some structure to the forms, but you lak understanding of those forms

keep it , keeps experimentng and using a lot of references, make your self a ref folder of anatomy and creatures you find inspiring, visit artstation etc

The knee parts you mean? Yeah, didn't work much on them, it's lacking details and sharpness. The character was originally created as a part of a comic project, but at the moment I'm modeling him to adapt a scene of that same project into a mini movie school work.

Shouldn't have really said sketch. I (heavily) edited a model sheet from the teen titans. I was looking for a cartoon character to turn 3d and it was either her or DCAU Superman. They both looked like good models, but it turned out she required a ton of photoshopping to get everything lined up and usable.

>>538636
>Don't like the breasts
Me either. it took some time just to get them to not look like and elder god horror.

Butt is wip.

This is still work in progress and I'm learning as I go, but I got it to a not totally retarded phase and just want another set of eyes. I'm considering starting over with a better plan.

>>538548
the wheels still cant turn kid
the fenders were only half of the problem
also there isnt enough weight over the front axle to require two wheels which is why nothing mass produced on earth has dually front wheels

>>538684
would benis those fake tits
face looks a bit funny tho

>>538695
Sure, if your goal is to have a low poly blob monster. Otherwise you've still at least got some mesh cleanup, UVing, texturing, and posing if not rigging You're at like 5% of what most would consider done.

Anything obviously wrong with the proportions ?
I am aware hands and feet look weird and I'll start working on them as soon as I subdivide her more.

>>538666
I'm mainly talking about the belt. It could be fixed up pretty easily with the HPolish or trim dynamic brush though.

Really love the design. Feels like some weird fist of the north star spinoff. Keep up the good work my dude.

im not engineering anything, just making it look cool, dude

>>538742
you could make something look cool while also making some sense, like wheels that have enough room to turn

you pretty much told us the anatomy doesn't matter--it's your style

>>538711
yeah I still have a lot to do, I'm finished with posing and rigging it because I'm a lazy fuck, it's just going to be some still model.

there's still some details I need to add too as well as the things you've mentioned

I'm not going to be too hard on myself until I finish it completely, then I'll look at what I need to improve on (this is my first model I've ever made)

>>538743
i dont care about the rules
fuck da police nigga

>>538747
More like you feel too lazy to rework on it.

>>538748
Looks like someones envy

>>538750
Wasn't this guy. I like your model, but the guy seems to have a point, you clearly aren't doing it because you don't feel like working any more on it which is still perfectly understandable.

>>538752
op here. just to clear things out i wasnt >>538750
this guy, and wheels turning is a good point, however i gave thoughts into it. when you're modeling something like that it takes some time so there is a lot time to think things through. but i decided to go with double wheels because it really made the bus look dope

>>538664
I know this won't come in days, I just wanted to know if the general direction was better

>>538571

I'm using some but it's kind of hard to see for myself what is wrong since I'm very new to organic modelling. Is it proportions, general positioning of structures? If you could point out I'd be glad.

One thing I feel is that I might be trying too hard to make a skinny creature but that is also muscular, and end up mixing both in an uncanny way.

>>538753

Just my two cents, I have worked in a truck factory and I might offer some insights

Steering the front wheel will be a problem with this setup because the pivot is not between both wheels, but somewhere inside the inner wheel. This way the outer arc will be much wider than what you are considering. The fenders don't help too since they'd interfeer with the steering much sooner than if they weren't there. If you look for Ackherman angle you can find some references where this will be very clearly shown. This would make the bus drive like shit and put too much stress on the components.

About the fenders, they look cool but this is only used for safety and legal reasons, other than protecting the vehicle from dirt and eventual rocks. I don't think this will be a concern in this environment lol

My suggestion would be to make the front be a 6x2 like pic related. Add a very gross cut behind the front wheels and make it look like someone just tuck a bus and addaptec it on a truck chassis.

Don't get me wrong, it does look cool as fuck, but anyone who's into land vehicle like me and the other guys giving suggestions will notice this stuff on a second look and subtract "cool" points from it for not making much sense

also if youd consider that it might steer with back wheels too maybe you'd find more sense in this

Looks pretty good to me, though maybe the mouth is a little small.

>>538819

I'm watching some anatomy videos and workind on adding teeth with IMM. Then I'll try sculpting the mouth around them. I had added the teeth before but I didn't separate in a different subtool and ended up making a mess when I dynameshed and that ruined the mouth

>>538300
I think that the legs look better on the "after" but the chest looks better on the "before".

I'm not really into Warhammer, though, so this judgement is just based on looking at your renders and judging their aesthetics on their own merits.

>>538803

Yes. They're clothes for this figure.

I guess that's on your end then.

I just cut a little trailer of a game I'm working on. What do you think?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4rseN6XJrc

>>538877
What could I do to make it better? For post I used a material render as a Photoshop overlay on the material override render above and then used a Topaz restyle filter on the two. I was really rushed so the mat render is 1/3rd resolution of the clay its overlaying, hence ugly concrete noise at top just to get it done in time. I guess topaz does make the render look really fake and filtered.

>>538885
Interesting concept, looks like a lot of work for one guy (assuming you modeled everything yourself) but it suffers from the problem that you were only able to spend an hour making each prop, an hour animating each prop, (or some other low number) and even though the whole project took you 100 hours or whatever, each individual thing still says "a couple hours of work" to the viewer

Also there's floating rocks, you should probably use some normal maps to give your tree bark and rocks some shadows or if you want that faux-poly look then you shouldn't use the textures, the grass would benefit from some variation (or again make it even simpler / more faux-poly), the player model looks kinda bad (again it's like it's not simple enough to be faux poly, but it's not realistic enough to look good, and it doesn't have a unique art style of its own either)

So far 4/10, would not Kickstart, would give A+ if it was a high school project though

Appreciate the feedback; I did model everything myself, but I'm definitely putting some asset packs to use (some textures, the bird flock, etc).

I'll definitely take some of those suggestions to heart; I'll add in some grass variation and increase the normals on the bark (they are on there, but they're apparently too soft).

I am a one man band; looking to keep polishing this thing and put it out for $6 or so, then make a mobile version. First "major" project; wanna get this one out of my system so I can have something to point to for future stuff. I'll keep ya'll updated; you're harsh motherfuckers, but that's more beneficial than an ego-stroke.

>>538872
>>538886


The people are really badly shooped in (like inexcusably so), and I think somehow it's throwing off the scale of everything else even though it's meant to provide a context for scale.

Why a rainy / sprinklers-on-full-blast background? The shadows don't match the expected distortion from all that water on the windows (even if it's supposed to be sunny)

I feel like something's fucked up with the colors? Why is the section of wall on the bottom right a dark color while the wall on the left is a lighter color even though no shadow is being cast on the right most wall?

Also it's just a tremendously unappealing use of color all around, and that weird tile ceiling thing looks really bad (looks bad in the mesh too), wouldn't a sky light look much better? If it supposed to be solar panels, they're not very nice to look at (of course fucking steel beams and girders aren't nice to look at either).

>>538891

That's cool, it's a big deal being able to say you've "shipped" a project (seen it all the way to completion and published it in some way). It's one of the things Valve (old Valve, not nu-Valve) really valued on a resume for people they hire (back when they used to actually make games instead of just making money).

You probably already know that your first couple games probably won't do well, and the one that you like the most may well be the one people care the least about (such is life as an artist), but just don't get into the habit of publishing game jam tier shit (but do go ahead and do game jam tier shit for learning and practice and feedback).

Also, if you thought I was being harsh, you're a fucking candy ass. By internet standards I'm being tremendously cordial with my critique to the point of almost faggotry. Good luck with everything, keep it up.

>>538893
Yeah, it's definitely about getting it out the door. I'm tired of taking projects to halfway completion and then failing to complete them either to self-doubt, apathy, or other human bullshit.

>By internet standards I'm being tremendously cordial with my critique

This is true, you're being a straight up gentle-sir. But having a place like this is a good counter-balance to some of the pat-on-the-back forums.

Good luck with all your shit, I'm off to cook some food and self-congratulate myself some more.

>>538570
I don't believe this is a render. Too many little details that renders usually miss - fingerprints on the left side of torso and leg, very uneven edges, plastic seam line is too realistic, texture of the cape around the neck seems too real.

If this IS a render, please post setup and etc., I'd love to be proven wrong. Good job, in that case, but I'm very dubious.

Just got the hang of rigging. It's kinda annoying at first, and I still can't get the hang of bone constraints with multiple objects. It'd be nice to lock movement to a certain axis, but I'll manage.

>>538961

I don't think moving the eyes closer together will be an improvement. As a general rule the space between the eyes should be the same as the width of one eye. Maybe just move the irises and see what that looks like.

For my character I'm thinking of doing eyebrows. But I have 2 options I'm thinking.
1 Would be a separate object that has a mesh deform and the second option would be the simple one and just put it on as a texture on my main object. What is the best option.

>>540303

FRED FLINSTOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!!!!!!!!

>>540317
depends on style, realism and your poly limits
go with one that better fits your model

>>540243
Oh god

>>540049
try Normals>Conform or Normals>Set To Face, they are probably polys with flipped normals, so they look black in the viewport. An easy way to tell is to enable Backface Culling in the Shading menu,- if they are flipped face normals the black areas will disappear and you will be able to see through the model.
