Here's a character from FFTA I made a long time ago for a polycount compo:

Oh, New Kid...

lol

[Manuel Magalhães]

"new kid" would be better than "New kid", but nice try.

I've been working on a poster for a school project. I've modelled the robot from the waist up. I've textured the entire robot and the 'room' it's standign in.. the lighting in the scene was created by a teammate but very heavely changed by me. And at last i made the finishing touches and the skybox in photoshop The rest were done by my 3 other teamates

It looks great. Though I have to say that the lighting looks very artificial - so that the robot is "highlighted". I think that it would look better if the lighting was weaker so that he would blend more in to the rest of the scene. And last thing - the weapon looks strange as it is made from the same material as the body armor of the robot. I think that if it was the stereotypical black/dark gray military color, it would look better. And it's also very blocky/bulky.

[Chris Pavia]

The depth of field doesn't looks consistent across the image, which adds to it feeling artificial.

[The_Maw]

Thanks for the c&c For the lighting, it's supposed to look like the robot is standing in a artificially lighted 'room', i hoped the more yellowish light would accomplish that .

Yeah none of us were fans of the gun texture, but the guy who made and textured it, forgot about it and had to texture it half an hour before our deadline

Well the depth of field should be consistent, it's not made by hand.

Thanks again Rivon and Chris

Yeah, I got that. It just looks out of place tho.

[Chris Pavia]

Also, compositionally, it's a bit weird that he's looking off the right edge of the image. I probably would have put him on the left side so that when I follow his eyeline I'm looking further into the image instead of off of the edge of it. I might be nit-picking tho

[Dragonmaw]

The over-detailed texture also clashes immensely with the overall design of the robot and the composition of the image. Overall it looks sorta like early 90s 3D, like the show Reboot.

Generally speaking, with 3D texturing you want to give stuff clear textures with only a few, highly noticeable details. If you go the overdetailed route (ala Gears of War) you have to darken or desaturate the image to make everything blend together better.

The pose is also really stiff and the geometry isn't really that interesting.

[peanutbuttershoes]

you guiz just don't understand art.

seriously

[swordofkings128]

I actually like it BECAUSE it reminds me of 90s style 3d. however, I do agree with the legs... that's the one thing I really don't like about the picture. they seem a bit bulky compared to the rest of body.

overall though I like it. I think the depth of feild would be a bit more effective if the background with more out of focus, but that's just me... I've always been a sucker for bokehs.

Sculpt practice with blender. Things went seriously wrong with the ears.


Trying for a low poly head. Probably should have made the textures lower res.

[kaboom]

Isn't that a little too low on polies?
And turn off the shading/lights and make the texture self illuminating. The "shades" kind of mess it up right now.

Instead of wasting space I present you my latest brainfart.

@green: I can't see the lock's texture in there, where are the UVs? Looks neat for something so simple, would be nice to see it in a dungeon crawler or similar.




4 modular plants sharing the same 64x64 diffuse+alpha texture.

Shoot: 10 tris
Grass: 22 tris
Corn (unpicked): 78 tris
Corn (picked): 42 tris

Tri counts include double-sided faces twice to indicate potential performance more accurately. A few could easily be trimmed from the corn by removing the doubled faces on the cobs, not sure if it's worth it though Might make a lower LOD for use in giant corn fields.

Need to simplify the grass a little more I think and make a "large grass" piece, then maybe do a small scene with them and a fence and a little farmer or something.

Blender 2.60
1.5 hours.

Does anyone have settings that work reliably for keeping textures completely unfiltered in blender? Every time I think I've found it something goes wrong, so I fiddle with the texture filter settings (filter size = 0.10 is as small as it will go, and seems way, way smaller than "minimum filter size", closest to clean I can get it..) until it works for another render or two. Would be nice to know exactly what's going on
