What is everyone working on? #2 Thread

I'll keep that in mind

Howdy Guys

It's not a mod per-say but it is modding related and I am working on it. About 2 weeks ago I started my own YouTube Channel dedicated to modding.
I've been covering mostly Skyrim, and Fallout New Vegas mods but should be expanding as the audience grows. In 2 weeks I've gained 50 subs and 20,000 Views. So things are coming along. My goal would be to have a platform with a large enough audience to really show off great mods from a variety of community's such as the games listed below and more. 

Here's a sample. 

People aren't saying anything about others work because people aren't saying anything about others work. Then everyone thinks it's ok to just post their own stuff. Maybe at first the intention wasn't that, but someone's work got ignored, and then this person also decided to ignore others work. There used to be more feedback earlier, just take a look at the previous What is everyone working on, or some first pages of this.. or take a look at all the old threads in this forum section.

I've been trying to get people give more feedback by giving it, but it's not like I always succeed in doing so. Sometimes I delay my post just so that maybe later I might have something more to say than just talk about my own work.

Some of these may come a bit late, but I just thought to do this. These are of everything that was ignored or I missed from the previous page to this page.

copyright: Maybe you could have zoomed it some more. Seems there's no rear sight. What revolver it is?

TKAzA: The trophies kinda look edible. Something like those decorations in cakes. I like the eyes. Connies buttons remind me of freckles.

simonoc: Reminds me of Thief, but does player need to steal anything, or just get to the exit? Perhaps there could be some more goals in it.

QuickFixInc: The shelves in the background are a bit empty. Maybe there could also be some cloth hanging devices.. with some clothes hanging in them.

ShinobiNFC: What's the idea in it? Chase the squirrel, or run away from the cats? I think they look a bit like Alien.

LightUpWarrior: Somehow I think of Dungeon Keeper. Your dungeon floor is lumpy, order your skeleton to jump up and down!

Cinders: The thumbs could be bigger. My thumb is thicker or at least equally thick as my other fingers. The upper part of the of the arm looks a bit short too.

CaptainShack: Seems like a good idea to show/review mods with some videos and to expand it to more than one game's mods.

Icedecknight: Looks sort of soft. Maybe it's a baby zergling? Texture looks nice, could have some different color in some parts, like they had in the original game.

And here's what I've been working on.. Some bio-mechanical monsters. One of them is walking and the other is flying. The pose on the walking is not done by skeleton, I just didn't want to show it in some T/X pose. The flying one should also have some guns. Both are somewhere around 1400 tris.

I finished development of Tropical Heat(a jet ski racing game set in the tropics) around Christmas and now I am working on a bonus pack with 5 new racing levels to release this spring.  I've also been working on improving the interaction of the water with island shores.  Here's what it looks like now.

But I'm trying to get the waves to slide into the shore.  It's a challenge to say the least.

Yeah, we need more replies and people making stuff, like you Jimmy.

I'm making a low poly car. Started yesterday with the drawing and tweaked the model a bit to fit my liking better.

It's too highpoly at the moment, but I needed to establish the shape. So retopo and unwrapping is next. I'm looking forward to doing the texture on this one. Gonna add the Turbo after retopologizing.

Here's a first update.I actually still have to do smoothing groups. However, it already looks quite okay without them. Low Poly has 674 tris, I think I can save some, for example on the fenders and the windbreaker (?)

** dammit - the 7 is mirrored - I just saw that Wrong door

"Even greener(fresh) is impossible"... Could be me but that sounds strange. "More fresher is impossible" would be my bet.

Yeah well, I was really unsure on how to translate it, but I can tell you that it is correct in German :p

How you get to that German sentence in the first place? Interest for the language or is this your mother tongue?

iQew - that is a smart package. Took me a second to figure out it's like a banana peel print-on. Maybe bend the logo a bit more?

Yeah JC,I deviated quite a bit from the concept. I might do another skin for the car later. This one is on a 512x512 texture, so I couldn't pull off some of the detail of the concept. It's still sharp enough for those bigger shapes. I think you can get a lot more out of your textures, Jimmy. Try using the bump offset node (on floors and walls, for example). I always see you make great organic shapes, which would be perfect for baking. I know you don't like the idea of high-polys, but it would be interesting to see what detail you can get out of it. 

Overall, i'm happy with this car tryout. Learned some things for the next time (like to model and bake stuff separately, next time). I'm gonna check how to make a car paint material, do the specular maps  and then call it finished. After I switch textures to double sided, you won't be able to look through the model, either.

Been working on my modeling and rigging skills. Sadly my texturing skills have sorta laxed a bit, so regaining that back and trying new methods is on my agenda.
(Still needs a lot of tweaking(Such as skinning)). The next step would probably be to get him working with jMonkey-Ogre.  

Hey first post here, on the forum.
So i am working on these:
