Was hoping to maybe contiribute a few things to PS, but I\'m not sure I can get the poly count low enough. And I thought 1000k was low. This is recent work I\'ve been doing on a dragons head. Just finished up the detail work last night. Will likely texture it when I\'ve time.

in case you didnt read, and disregarded the site and players guide.... THERE WILL BE NO DRAGONS
Very nice work though. the poly count is insanely high anyways.
-
That is an insane amount of polys. Absolutely gorgeous, though! You haven\'t posted what program you have used, however.
Lovely job :)

you = apply now or i slap you
8o
apply now dammit! go go go! *whip whip*

This wasn\'t for submission, and certainly wouldn\'t have brought it to that level of detail without knowing the poly restrictions. I just thought I\'d share, as it was fantasy related. Models of that level would mainly be used as normal maps for lower res models to increase the visual details without the geometry. That was all done in Zbrush, but I use Autocad for most things, as that\'s what I use for work. (Technical illustrations for aviation tech pubs). I\'m also quite fond of Photoshop, and use that for 2d work.
I like the idea behind PS, and the dedication the teams got. I\'ll explore it a bit more, as I\'m new to the community. I am interested in helping out, but I\'ll test the waters for a bit and see if I even have something to offer that\'s usable.

aye, we mostly use 3dsmax here, it has a nice exporter built for crystal space, i think also wings3d and the one beginning with B.. blender, i think. hop on by #planeshift on irc.freenode.net an get chattin with the team, and various unique people there, your certainly welcome!
-
I thought it looked like Zbrush :) What inspiration this is - I really want to give it another try now. If you have more of your work uploaded somewhere, I would really love to view it.
-
Wow thats a really reallly really high # of polys. You might wanna work on lowering em a bit without losing so much quality. :)
Great work either way though.
-
Absolutely gorgeous! Even thogh the pixel count\'s way high and there are no dragons in game, it\'s still a testament to your skill. Please post more, or give us a link if you have more work online.
About joining the team... take the time and think it over. You\'d be a welcome addition, if this is any indication.
-
i still say get yer behind in there *whipwhip* :D
we keep poly\'s pretty low and let the 2d textures do the detail ;) if oyu got as much skill in 2d as this, you\'ll be like... teh awesomest evar \\o/
-
Well, I don\'t have a huge ammount of stuff to show, but here\'s some misc stuff. Mostly 2d.
I didn\'t do the line art in this one, only the colors. Jay Anacleto did the pencils.
Elric (http://img383.imageshack.us/my.php?image=elrictanned29pe.jpg)
Skra Mur from Dragonrealms, character sketch.
Aus (http://img353.imageshack.us/img353/4800/skramur3xb.jpg)
A goblin concept I worked on for another game (before it whent under), and I ended up using it as my avatar when I was a GM for Eaxia.com.

Tower I had done for practice. Landscapes, etc quickly done in Vue. Turned out to have far too much detail, though the poly count wastn\'t all that high for it\'s size.

Last one, messing around with an alien design.

O.M.F.G
You are the most stunning all-around artist I have ever seen in my whole life. Both the 2D but especially the 3D is absolutely.. unbelievable.
My $@!$.. 8o
I heard they can lower shapes that look like 8 million polys down to like 4000 now with new technologies.. theyre gonna use it in the new unreal tournament.
But my god you Oh man.. PLZPLZPLZ join the dev team!! You could be one of the best things thats ever happened to PS!! :D :P
-
i agreee, you should try to join, our artwork is absolutly AMAZZING. i love the dragon, and the alien sketch. if only i knew how to model as good as you;)
-
Dude , wow, seriously wow .
If this doesn\'t get you a ticket in the team , then i don\'t know what will.
-
*Death\'s Angel fall from his chair*
Nice job. Nahhhh not nice, incredible!! Wow you are seriously very good. And I agree with Jekkar (once again..) this is ur ticket for the team!
-
WOW
That explains all..

hehe, yes i agree with your OH so descriptive post lordbug..
-
I\'d love to see the pencil work on the 2d elric pic, I have a feeling you \'cleaned\' it alot when coloring.
Color me quite impressed.
-
*speechless* dude. honestly. that dragons head. even though ps wont have them and its an insane amount of polys. well that took my damn breath away... you have skill there. join the team.
i would also love to see that tower or somthing like it ingame. that looks amazing too. join.the.team. your amazing ! love the goblins head too. i just love the whole lot. its great. keep the poly\'s low and man ... you could be the best artist (3d and otherwise) yet !
-
Wow. With the skills you have for both 2D and 3D work, you\'d be perfect for the development team!

*puts on a polo shirt and a sailor cap, holds a lolipop and makes puppy dog eyes*
When I grow up I wanna be just like Malloc! :D
-
you? grow up? come oooon ^^
Malloc : you talked to devs yet? no?!? whatwhatwhaaaat?!?
dooo eeeet nowwwwwwuh! please ^^
-
I apriciate all the compliments. The artwork I\'ve seen in both the game and the site are pretty top notch. Shows a lot of time and effort have gone into the game so far. (If I could only find my way out of a city to explore a little, I might get to actually see more of it.)
I need a map and mouselook(toggleable)....
-
Too bad I can\'t really get my client to work yet due to bugs in the mac version. I would have shown you around.
-
I\'ll show you around gladly :P Whats your ingame name?
Well.. ojaroad has pretty simple graphics, I guess its to decrease computer load. But yeah, there is no way you won\'t be gladly accepted into the dev team.. they can never have enough devs :P (well mabye not never but not any time soon)
-
sorry I didnt get to this thread earlier. Your dragon head is awesome. Have you finished the whole dragon? or are you working on it ?(
-
The head is just practice, getting used to the software and tools. I hadn\'t planned on creating a body to go with it. More than likely, I\'ll move on to another model when done adding the color.
Started working on the color today, and still have a ways to go. Head is still looking somewhat monochromatic at this stage.

Oh.. my.. gosh.... and that\'s PRACTICE??!!!
You god!
/me bows and begs Malloc to join the dev team and make the ever-missing character models :P

Zbrush isn\'t exactly a 3D program ;) More like a 3D painter. I believe there exist a few converters into actual 3D models, but I am not sure if they are 3dsmax compatible. I remember another artist posted his Zbrush work here before. This (http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=11591&boardid=22) was it, I believe. Radiolarian (http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=9345&boardid=22) also had the most amazing Zbrushed images of a Kran I had ever seen, though the pictures are down now. I believe the only coverters that exist may be for Blender.
But I\'m not sure :)

Zbrush is used for modling in conjunction with quite a few other applications. Mostly used for refinement of base models, but it\'s capable of creating any number of models, compatable with Lightwave, 3ds Max, maya, XSI, Lightwave, you name it. Can output in a number of formats, create meshes as tri or quads, can create bump maps, normal maps, displacement maps, color maps.... Was used in quite a few films including Lord of the Rings, and several others. Does wonders with details, however it\'s best used with out programs for composition. Still getting used to it, as you\'ve said it\'s not like most apps.
-
My head just exploded from the awesomeness. Really, I don\'t know what to say. It\'s inspiring to say the least.
-
Decided I\'m done with the head, and it\'s time to move on to something else. Didn\'t model anything else, just took the first pose from the previous post (which I liked best) and painted in the rest with photoshop.

Nice work. I\'ve only touched zbrush a tiny bit, but I\'ve got a gnomon dvd on it, as well as a couple normal mapping tutorials for max that use it. It is very widely used for exactly that purpose (on top of it\'s use in movies, etc.). From what I can tell it isn\'t quite as hard as it looks, but, regardless, that dragon head is still awesome. Kudos.
:emerald:

That is absolutely stunning, and I don\'t know what to say other than...well...you don\'t happen to be working for Bethesda Softworks do you? The 3d-graphics are Oblivion-division, and your 2d-work is...umm...quite good, nice, fantastic, amazing, OUTSTANDING.
I\'m really impressed, and I\'m sure the developers share that thought. :)
-
join.the. dev. team.
NOW !
-
I\'ve got quite a few gnomon dvds, love that stuff. Prefer the analog dvds, and there\'s still quite a few on my wishlist. In fact, I finished up the dragon after watching one of Neville Pages dvds and it inspired me to just paint in the rest and mess around with it.
I only wish I could do this sort of thing for a living. What I do is far more sterile and uncreative. It pays the bills though.
-
Great stuff, Malloc. But how about modeling something out of PlaneShift? For example, how about a gorgeous Xacha or Lemur female? Go as high poly as you want. It would be great to use for a wallpaper of sorts or to replace the low-res artwork we have for each race on the main site. :)
