Ahoy mateys! Hmmm... there is a conspicuous lack of a pirate emoticon.
I've been working on a game called Upsilon Circuit. Here are a few models!
Sorry about the width.

[ANtY]

they're awesome, do you have more?

(use this)

They're quite solid; good work!

I feel there's too much realistic detail in her face and too realistic proportions for her 'shortcake frosting' hair to really work. Consider making her hair more hair:y and less dough:y.

Otherwise I like it, the face is in a perfect place between realism and stylization - it's both good-looking and has lots of expression. Also the legs are really dynamic and the silhouette has nice curves (not sexycurves, just dynamic curves). Very different from lots of stylized straight matchstick legs I've seen in 3D. Good work.

[CobraMode]

Thanks for the comments guys! I think you're right about the hair. When I get around to making more hairstyles, I'll be keeping that in mind. Originally when it was made, we were really crunching to get a demo for Pax East, so I just needed something vaguely resembling hair.

Man, I would love to do an art dump of all the models, but it's important to the really crazy concept of the game to have the sense of discovery intact. I bet I'll be able to share at least a few more later.

Oh, I have a new one from Dwelvers I haven't shown yet though.
She sits in the hell rift spewing out demons in the heart of your dungeon!
The teeth are a bit plain, but it read better at the camera distance the player will be normally using, so I kept them that way.



Heh, you guys might get a kick out of the first version I did.
It's... a bit more unique, but they wanted something more demonic

[eobet]

Oh wow, the one with the crown and makeup is so much cooler than the pig nosed one! I feel that the one with makeup both has more (unique) character and reads better due to the colors, while the one with the nose ring is too cookie cutter standard.

Please tell me they went with the one with the crown!

Some background renders I made for our game The Detail. Also my WIP police car model :3

As i already told you, those are magnificent!

We went with the piggy nosed one :D

While i agree cobra's first version is far more unique, the newer one fits more with the rest of the game style, in my opinion.

I'm not quite sure if this should be in this thread, or even on the art board in general, but I'm planning on making a game in Unity, and at the moment, I'm working on rigging the main character. I am not technical minded at all, but I have adequate knowledge on how to rig. I've been planning on using the Rigify addon, but there's some stuff that needs to be added, particularly the face. I don't know if I should use purely armature based rigging for the face, or if I should use shape keys. Which would work better on the Unity engine?

[Götz]

another update on the character i'm currently working on

[Geti]

@Gotz would be great to see this guy posed. The lighting isn't doing much for me at the moment fwiw.


Working with IBL and cycles for some downtime fun. The background panorama is just google images sourced stuff with some extra required lighting painted in, curves adjusted and blurred to high hell.

Render times are a bit of a turn off but it's nice not having to swap between programs so much for sure. The node based setup works a treat. Need to build a grunty desktop with a powerful GPU in it to get the most out of it I expect.



Back to work now I guess, haha.

[Geti]

Came back and retouched the lighting and ice cause I wasn't happy with it. Improvement speaks for itself I think :^)

[Götz]

@Geti yeah, looks a lot better now

I still have to work a little bit more on the hair of the character and after that I'll start rigging and posing the character. I'm still not sure about the shading and texturing...

[Geti]

Any reason you didn't model him in a T or bent T pose? tends to make rigging easier (with bent T being a bit trickier to rig but giving better deforms).

[SolarLune]

^ By bent T, you mean like an ↑ arrow, right?

i just thought it would be easier for preserving shoulder deformation, and being for a kart racing game I don't worry too much about it. But yeah, T pose is better for rigging, as everything is aligned.

Not touching bones rotation and using empty nodes to retain orientation on controllers does the trick pretty well.

[Geti]

@Pol: sampling on the stars looks a little iffy imo but the rings on the planet look interesting.

^ By bent T, you mean like an ↑ arrow, right?

Yup, not sure what the commonly used name for it is but I see a lot of sculpting in that position due to it preserving shoulder and elbow deformation a little better.

For cart racing the elbows usually stick out a bit as far as I've seen, but of course do whatever works

Textured 3d model i made awhile ago :D

[Geti]

Played more with IBL and cycles, this time with a more interesting and believable tumbler and a wooden side table. Took a few tries to get lighting I was happy with but worked out pretty nicely imo. Might do a series of pieces featuring beverages as it's nice downtime work, benefits a lot from a path traced render and I've often got some reference on hand, haha.
