Just for the heck of it, thought' I'd post up some progress pics of my latest cartoon character I've been working on.

Looks great, Sharper. I've often thought that creating an animal with human-like facial features, as the animated-film makers often do, must be one of the hardest arts to master, but you've really cracked it here.

Check out the mods here.

I appreciate the comment , I've been trying to study how most CG cartoon's do it... I'm hoping that I'm kind of catching on.

I haven't posted here in such a long time, so heres some stuff i've been working on.

The dumpster is for a mod called Insurgency, and the wild west stuff is for a college project. I have to do a level within the unreal engine, but im thinking of switching the theme.

I haven't done the normal map or the spec for this yet, looks alittle flat I know.



And now some of the Wild West work, these are the last two buildings i've done and a overall shot of the town as it stands now.

Any feedback on my work would be great, thanks everyone for taking the time to view my work.

Sorry to bump but thought i'd post this up.



I modeled it after I seen a concept image in a blog I think it was. I tryed my best to get it as close as I could but, there are problems etc.

I best get uv'ing this so I can texture it anywhos.

Wow this threads still on the first page . I'll have to post some of my newer work when I get back to my desktop PC!

to see so many people trying out 3d art. This will be my first post on this forum however so greetings everyone.

I'm working on a Module for Neverwinter Nights 2 at the moment called Stygius so I figured I'd post some of the models I've been developing for that. We've got a dev blog at http://stygius.com/blog so feel free to head there to read up on the project as well.

Here is a familiar creature as well as a couple of NPCs, hair hasnt been added to them yet however. Both NPCs use 1024x1024 textures, defuse, normal and alpha for specular.

Agrona:

concept:


Model:



Gerrard the smith:


Turtle: (700tris)


There are quite a few other models in the works as well, however don't want to spoil anything for potential players in the future.

Great work everyone!

I got a copy of Max a few weeks ago and have made a few models, but I dont seem to be able to post them..

I've got to the stage where I want to UV my creations, but I dont have any 2d packages(other than paint!)

Has anyone got any advice on what to get? Photoshop, painter etc

thanks

 

Hello Garageflower.
Personally I would advice you to use Photoshop over any other package for texturing. Or a combination of it and an UV paiting software or zBrush. Even though Painter have some great features when it comes to illustrations etc. doing textures often requires a lot of layer control which no 2d package I've experienced can match. If you're looking for a cheap alternative there is always OpenCanvas, however it does go more towards Painter in design and unless you're looking for a painted look on your models, it probably wouldnt cut it. Paint shop pro is another cheaper alternative, which is more simular to Photoshop in design, meaning it has better layer manipulation features than Painter and OpenCanvas. Hope this helped at all.

Thanks Jonnyree

Thats the kind of advice I was after - I've been debating getting Photoshop, but I wasn't sure, and I didn't want waste my money.

Do you know whether all the editions are suitable? Or do I need to go for the high end version?

I Felt Albion Move!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is some work in progress that should be done very soon, its based on some concept art released by lionhead.  Let me konw what you think.

Test Render 1

It's really, really basic, but I call it my first real attempt at anything in 3D modeling.

So we had kind of a test in school where we got 2 hours to make a humvee, as you can see the texture is messed up some places but it's work for only 2 hours.

Just started this scene yesterday so of course not done :

And i want this fat viking (that i have worked on for some time then got bored of and stopped with) to sit in the bathtub - this is not just tubgirl - it is tub viking.



Oh and notice clouds sword rip off in the background.



The metal however still looks like crap and the wall texture is fucked (but nice bump mapping on the lower part of the wall )
