I'm sort of migrating to other forums as of late but I thought I'd post some recent stuff I've worked on here just so that you people don't forget me.
Here's the first, which I used as a workflow practice model, basically I'm trying to adept to the "High-Low Poly" (Make low poly base first, make high poly from that, retopologize high poly, UV Map retopologized mesh, bake maps from the high to the low poly) workflow that is more "proper" these days. And this character was my test project for just that.
Here's the first stage, the high poly directly from Zbrush.

Then the completed retopologized model (I did add quite a bit of fold detail in the low poly but since I had a decent poly budget and wanted to keep the silhouette that's completely doable me thinks).

Then the completed baked model with the normal and AO map assigned. Quite decent I think, and you can see how the wireframe follows the folds.

Not going to texture the character though, as it was just workflow practice.

Next project! Was bored a few days ago and drew this up.

Nothing extremely impressive, just something quick I made because of boredom, but I liked it enough to make it in 3D.
Begun by just making the base model for it which will be used for making the high poly.

And this is my current progress on the high poly.



So yeah, will most likely post updates on the spider thing as I work more on it.

Looking mighty impressive! Great work as usual.

the spider model really reminds me of Gears of War, in idea and in quality!

Great job man.

Oh you're too kind. Thanks a lot, the spider was indeed inspired quite heavily from Gears of War, which I've had for the longest of time but never played until just a few days ago. Quite like it.

Looking really good Alucard i'm really liking the last character
But on the first character it seems either his legs are to short or his arms, but great work. The bake came out great !

By the way it seems as if you were inspired by this tutorial > http://www.thegnomonworkshop.com/store/product/534/

And there we go! After a few slow days the front legs are done. I'll probably just duplicate/scale them for the back leg just to save time. Oh and at the moment the entire high poly pass is something close to 600k polygons; and safe to say Maya is taking a sweat working this thing. Thank god I can hide stuff.


Oh and sorry for the giant images, when I said image heavy I meant it.

Looks sweet! I'm loving the mesh details on the highpoly! Although I am super scared for the person who has too ride on all those 600,000 polys!! Cool concept art for it also!

I prefer to do the hard surface stuff first. Seeing as it's all in the same program. Then I'll take the organics into Zbrush.

Roxas I take that as a good thing.
And the poly count is about 8 million, not that it matters since Zbrush is awesome.

Alright, started retopologizing the organics, you may think it's quite a bit too much detail since I have a decently bit more detail in the hard surfaces but, call me crazy; I don't really think that the hard surface stuff will take up that many polygons.
And yes, those bolds were really boring to make.

Started on the hard surface retopo.


EDIT: Fun fact, the actual poly count for the hard surface high poly was 2 million, I looked at the un smoothed one previously. Interesting Maya can even coat with that.

Thanks a lot guys!
All the low poly but the legs are now done, some shots below.
However I feel that the legs are going to add a huge clunk on the poly count of this thing (Having four of them and all) so I have an irritable feeling that I'll be doing tons of clean up in the end.

The low poly is "done" now, however relatively massive, clocking in at around 11000 quads/17000 tris. I'm not sure if I dare to trim it down more than I already have though as I don't feel like loosing too much detail... Considering it won't be used in a game engine at all I don't see the reason to either, I just want the damn thing to look alright heh, also I think the poly count wouldn't be too bad in a current gen game as long as there won't be a thousand on screen at time or something.
Duplicated the legs and such for the sake final poly count, will however use the same UV's for all the legs just to save space.

In maya.

UVs are done, decided to split the model into two different UV sets, one for the organics and one for the not-so just so save some space. I'll obviously down res the texture size for the organics as it has less parts and therefor needs less size.

Couldn't be bothered showing the organics as I'm simply that lazy. It's really not that special anyway.

Long time no update, school started which made my time to work on stuff very limited, however I've done something which is part of some sort of project I'm working on. The spider will wait for now, I really want to finish this.
So yeah, this is a rock.
Yeah a rock, don't see how I could elaborate on that, it's 184 faces and equipped with both specular and normal maps (Both being a giant size of 2k, I realize it's way too big for a rock but I'll just scale it down in the end). I'm quite happy with it.

Been working on this at the moment, dialed down on the extreme "shiny'ness" of the last one a little. Hopefully it helped at least somewhat. Trying to keep the same sort of style as the last one so the colors are pretty similar.

Thank you good sirs.
Been gone since school's started, did get something done however. Even recorded myself doing all the parts of it just to try out a certain piece of software. Turns it it works pretty darn well.
