What is everyone working on? #2 Thread

ngs616: yea its great having books n all ... of course it is! as i have quite a few... but yea i know what tkaza means just keep practicing ! work work work till ur hands bleed! as that will be the most important thing at the minute ... and also post on a proper art forum like polycount.com ... then you will get alot more crits from pro character artists

Honestly i would like to help out and crit your demon guy but i think there is too much wrong with it.. i think you rushed it way too much ... i will say tho that the anatomy on the legs is by far the weakest point.... seems like you was trying to create something from memory and not references anything from life so it ended up a bit random, your legs just wouldnt work tbh.

keep goin and post these other mosnters you have been making

Lighting has been changed to 'morning', drastically shrunk the level, added a lot of props, kept the stick figure graffiti, and other small tweaks.
What now?

Other than alternate light sources, as thats in the map, just not in this screen shot.

Thats a really good idea.

It looks really good Dave, but I think you need to add some additional props to it. Tiny ones. Trashbins, bits of paper on the ground. Pipes. Drains. That kind of stuff. Go out and look around.

I guess its the area you live in.
I've never seen trash bins in an industrial/commercial area like this, at least not in the front street. That is, unless you mean't a trash dumpster?

Bits of paper is a good choice. BUT! Unless the paper is a dark gray, it will stick out like a sore thumb. I had propaganda posters for one of the factions on the walls, right along side papers. With bloom, they glow.
Maybe like newspapers?

I usually don't see drains where I live. Since the area is flat, we dig what look like trenches on the sides of all roads that will all eventually lead to one of the rivers nearby.
Maybe I should model trenches then? I think pipes and maybe even those electric boxes would be a great addition.

Just thinking realistically. On that note, I found the city has what look like flood lights in alleyways. I'm interested to start modeling that.

I strongly disagree with this statement. Reference still applies even if you're recreating from a sprite (which was created out of a clay model originally)

Hmm Pending If this is done or Not.
Back


River End (ps I like the River rocks Tacoo but i will switch up the rocks in a different map to lazy to change what is their already)

Now this wasn't gonna be a Multiplayer map just something to test my skills.

I made it out of a learning experience at first but then i thought i should maybe try to get into a mod and use it as a example of my work. I will expand on the map and then post it up for anyone to mess with .

One problem i did have tho was the bridge would become unable to hold anything up.

Working on my space racing game still. Here's the first image of a Heavy class racer; these are mostly used for boosting into ramming attacks or generally going very fast in a straight line. The first two images are with the base engines and armor, the third is with them hidden. Each of these parts are interchangeable, along with some additional fins and whatnot that improve boosting time or maneuverability.

Not bad - definitely can see that it's the Arrow. Your biggest trouble spots are the nose, cockpit, and exhaust. The cockpit especially - what I usualy do to get a nice pit and keep a good polyflow is to cut off the front half of the cockpit - about where you have the cone starting that goes to the nose cone. Then I use a poly bridge with a slight bulge so it forms a curve...then I wrap aorund the side polygons so they match up with the front ones. Relaly hard to explain, I know, but the key is a poly bridge - not a straight line of polies

EDIT:

Next up, the Medium. Anyone want to texture these? I sure as hell don't :p

Medium racers are faster and more maneuverable than heavies, but slower and less maneuverable than lights. They can do some ramming attacks, but can also move quick enough to avoid them; in short, they're in between.
