TPU's own 3D renders

[DrPepper]

Well I've got a X2 6000 and a n270 which I doubt would be much help. Cool idea though.

Tiny desk I built to do my work

From what I hear of others, my LCD monitors must not be color corrected or something. I think one monitor is green/yellow and the other is more blue so my renders may look right to me but not to you guys.


I use XSI 5.0 and Photoshop CS

XSI sometimes crashes when i try to do ambient occlusion maps so I render that with "Xnormal" instead.

oh and a short clip of Phaeton, from EXO Squad. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkZ8uhELdnk

I lost all his textures for the head so I'm in the process of redoing them.

I'd kill to be able to make models like that.

Awsum stuff!! and welcome to TPU

 

[Scrizz]

very nice Espera
very nice indeed

 

[Espera]

Not as good as my original textures were but I wanted to show you this in a larger image.
I dunno why but photobucket must save and resave my images slowly degrading the quality of the jpg files.

so you can see the wiremesh

This is pretty low poly for a head, I just upped the subdivision level.

 

[Scrizz]

dude that's sick

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

nice wireframe a few areas need a bit more work but otherwise its nice and clean without random tris and ngons so thumbs up man

If anyone wants to try this:

Cubic Mapping a Sphere.

Basically you cubic map a cube then blow the cube up and smooth it to make a sphere.
The end result is actually quite nice. I do not take any credit for this though.

awesome

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

well i took my female mesh into mudbox 2010 gave it a once over and upped the base poly count from 13k to 4mill exported out my Ambient occlusion normal and displacment maps id show how it turned out but the mesh isnt exactly child friendly so ill update you all a bit later when its not so well nude haha

 

[Scrizz]

can't wait for the update

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

edited for child safety

This is the high rez mesh in Mudbox for normal map scultping mesh is 4163098 polygons or 4.16mill

base mesh that the normal map Ambient Occlusion map and displacement map is 13k roughly depending on variation

small edit poly counts are in quads so in terms of triangles thats dbl so 8mill + high rez lol

Im experimenting a little with a plugin called "Destruction" for Maxon Cinema 4d.

Im using a homemade hdri picture, to generate the light.

 

[v12dock]

[crazyeyesreaper]

Nice render, looks like a useful plugin




Here is more work for EXO Squad

The Neosapien Y-Wing
Still a work in progress

used these as reference

A big mistake on my part was trying to draw out front side and top views of this model to work from. It didn't work.
I instead chose to make each part of the model separately based on the above screen shots, then scale them till they matched each-other.





as for the remodeling of Phaeton, I'm a bit behind.

 

[Scrizz]

very nice

do you have that image in a larger res? it would make a great screen saver

 

[Espera]

I didn't render that out very large, but I'll see if I still have that scene saved on my computer and do a larger render.

 

[Espera]

Well here is the toon shaded version Comped in with a background from the series.

 

[Solaris17]

thats pretty sweet bro

 

[Cold Storm]

Espera that's some sweet work! Thx for sharing.

 

[Scrizz]

definitely good stuff

 

[troyrae360]

Ill post full pic as soon as its done rendering
