Thanks, Scythe;

No, the explosion is completely volumetric, created with a 3dsmax plugin called Afterburn (see www.afterworks.com). :smile:

So it is voxel based(voxel is a sort of a 3D pixel, used in fluid
simulations(term fluid includes smoke, fire,liquid, etc.). :smile: I read an
intresting SIGGRAPH article about it some time ago. Or actually the
article was mostly about simulating chemical reactions like ice melting
and paper burning and such. :smile:

I think the stuff is in
here. I found the
link from one of the threads at elysiun(now blenderartist forum), which
was about making a better voxel system to make it possible for people
to make fire and smoke simulators in Blender.

Nope, it's just pure volumetrics.. I've seen a couple plugins that generate flames using voxels, but I don't imagine it'd work this well here. In fact maybe you'd like to take a look at the Wikipedia article I wrote for it. :smile:

Quite a cool link, BTW. :smile: Just today in fact I visited the Afterworks site for the first time in a while and they've announced a new plugin that looks incredibly cool. No details yet but there are three videos all of which look incredible; dancing fire as realistic as I've ever seen it computer-generated, smoke literally pouring inside a box, and a really cool video of a torus ablaze, with the fire seamlessly transitioning into beautiful smoke. It looks really great, have a look. :smile:

Volumetric particles, all I can say that I'm really impressed. :smile: I'll

Nice texture the only thing I would watch is the small red blotch in the lower right hand corner, that may look bad when tiled, however everything else looks great.

I love how you with a line trace almost looks cell shaded. have you tried applying a cutout effect to that picture then overlaying the trace again?

sounds like it would look snazzy to me.

and all the other sketch's are very nice

One of my attempts at some structural prop modelling, using Blender. Its a pretty quick job, an old arch/entrance, about 2-3 hours including time spent making the skin and normal map.

I'm still learning how to do it all, but with the need to make your own props for custom mapping it seems like a good idea.

Enjoy.

Just an oriental-style wooden footbridge. 712 tris at full detail, I'll probably be able to get it well below 500 for the LOD model. The texture is still WIP.

Edit: The model fits over a 256 unit gap (as in the ingame screenshot), and is 192 units wide.

Groovy, the pyramid guy/pyramid head/the red pyramid is one of my all time favorite monsters. I think the head isn't too small it's just too wide, and looks a little off center. Pretty damn good for MS Paint, at any rate.

It's at about 2200 tris now, so once I add the rest of the basic detail it'll probably be around 2500-2800 tris. Once that's done I'll probably make a 10-20k tri mesh to use for normal maps with all the small details like rivets and seams

Spiked bat; 682 tris; made in XSI
I made this yesterday to try out a method for eliminating texture seems that I saw on Gamasutra, as well as using quads with an alpha opacity pass for round stuff. As a collection of cylinders it's pretty straightforward to lay out the UVs for. I'm planning to put some blood and gore in the texture, so I think it'll look pretty cool once it's done :smile:

'Hell Chick 2.0' (concept by Paul Richards); WIP in Maya for Mudbox SubD
I found a model sheet for a cyborg succubus character while browsing the portfolio of a concept artist who worked with Raven on Quake 4, this is my attempt at his Hell Chick concept. I'm targeting 'next-gen' games with this model; this will be the SubDiv mesh for detailing in Mudbox, the final in-game mesh will likely be somewhat lighter on the polys. This is also serving as a figure study of sorts, to get a feel for edge loops and whatnot.

EDIT: jeez, what a bunch of prudes at photobucket :rolleyes:

Don't you think the Hell Chick model looks a bit top heavy? :rolleyes:

Not that I'm complaining! :lol:
Also change the texture of the dock. Docks are rarely tile. -Facepunch

You guys are kicking out some great models! Love the girl - looks like good clean modeling.

I haven't been doing much 3d work at all, lately, very busy at work atm (anyone see the EGM cover or videos for Ratchet Future? tis an exciting time for us).

Anyway, I've been trying to do more drawing lately - appreciating the simplicity of it as oppossed to the monster task of game development. Here's a few random drawings from the grab-bag.

Pretty rough sketch of some lizard/like creature. Might do more with this guy.

At work we have a weekly celebrity caricature contest - can you guess who this is? (I don' think I really captured her, but I like the drawing.)

This is something I worked on for a while this weekend. I'll probably leave it alone for a while, then come back and polish it up. I would love to eventually write some short stories with illustrations sprinkled throughout, so I'm pushing myself to draw scenes which tell a story, rather than your typical rendering of environments or characters. I would love to hear what story you apply to this picture!

Adios - and sorry if these images are massive!
