UGAC - PROP 102 - ULTIMATE CRATE/BARREL - Supervlieg

[Supervlieg]

Just a first idea. Its some kind of crate to contain harmfull materials. I will post more sketches, this is just to try out.

[ArYeS]

really nice idea and sketch, keep it up
is that glass around it?

[Supervlieg]

Thanks! There's no glass around it, but thats a good idea. I might use that ;)

[HellBoy]

great idea, I can't think....

which apps are you gonna use Supervlieg

[Supervlieg]

MWarsame: Thanks. Max, Photoshop and the occasional OpenCanvas for sketching :)

[Alistair-McCello]

Ooh, neat design. Definitely falls under the category of 'ultimate'.

[Supervlieg]

Thanks alistair.

Here is another design which im thinking about. Kind of a bio-barrel container being. It's alive!

http://www.bolman.nl/cgtalk/ugac102-2.jpg

[ArYeS]

reminds me of that book in Harry Potter movie...

Looks very creepy and cartoony, thats perfect.

[JamesMK]

Aha :D I love the bio-barrel idea... definitely invites the thought of weird and slimy textures :thumbsup:

[DimitrisLiatsos]

..... It's alive!

http://www.bolman.nl/cgtalk/ugac102-2.jpg


Hehehehe...that...i would love to see modeled and textured...:thumbsup:

[AdamAtomic]

both cool! the first sketch reminds me quite a bit of the thing in Batman Begins.

[Supervlieg]

ArYes: Thanks, Ill probably go for a less cartoony thing compared to this sketch.
JamesMk: Yeah, slimy textures, and weathered skin and stuff. Love it.
DimitrisLiatsos: Thanks. Stay tuned!
Adam Atomic: Now that you mention it, it looks like that thing yeah. I guess it was some kind of a subconcious influence.

Im thinking about a combination of the bio-barrel and the crate. Ill whip up a sketch a little later.

[franklyn]

so its a doom3 ammo crate eh ? lol
nice work i like the organic crate idea its really creative i will definitely be eyeing this one.

[Geta-Ve]

super for the win! :D

I like those concepts :)

[ChimpanG]

I love the cube one, the living crate is cool also! i'd love to see a moving pulsating slime texture like in doom3's growth walls on that living crate, and i think the cube should have the glass in it.

[Aries326]

DOH.... i was thinkin of somethin like your first concept myself....

Nice though, I like the futuristic one with the floating object suspended by some type of field..... . very star trek but i was thinkin instead of a typical box shape for the outter container why not use something more complex like a geo-sphere or something?

[Supervlieg]

Decided to go for the bio-barrel. Here's a little start I made at the model. Currently around 700 polies.

http://www.bolman.nl/cgtalk/ugac102-3.gif

[Supervlieg]

Franklyn: Thanks. I guess doom had some influence somewhere along the line.
Geta-Ve: Lol, Thanks. Might be a bit early to say though :D
GLandolina: Living barrel it is. It seems like more fun to do.
Aries326: Feel free to go for your idea. I abandoned my first concept and decided on the bio-barrel.

[Geta-Ve]

super - haha I didnt realize your avatar pops up.. :p just saw that when i clicked forward.. ^_^

also, dunno if that was the final model? but i'd say the teeth are too small :(

:) cheers!

I still say super for the win though :D haha

[thesuit]

Very cool...
inspired me to maybe give it a go myself...
I have to agree with geta-ve on the teeth size... kinda small right now.
And I liked how in your concept the fingers where more "desorganized". Different sizes and one is far away from the rest... things like that. Gives it a more organic feel.
Keep it coming! Congrats so far.

[Supervlieg]

Geta-Ve: No Thats definitely not the final model. I agree, the teeth are way to small. Depending on the polies I have left I will attach them to the gums and make 'em larger and more irregular.

thesuit: You're right, the desorganized look of the toes is better. I'll work on that. Thanks for the tip.

[Supervlieg]

Ok, heres an update. Im close to finishing the mesh. Ive changed the teeth and meshed 'em together with the gums. Ive got about 60 polies left for a cigarette and some tendons to keep the two halves together.

http://www.bolman.nl/cgtalk/ugac102-4.gif

[JamesMK]

Now that's shaping up very well! Maybe go for even bigger teeth... just a notch more.

[HellBoy]

wow Supervlieg

why is everyone on rush, this is the third piece that is close to finishing and I just started :buttrock:

great one mate :thumbsup:

[Goro]

yey sup how are you doing? nice supstyle barrel ;)
Looking forward to see it finished!

[Supervlieg]

JamesMK: Thanks, I just might make em bigger, now that you mention it.
MwarSame: haha, thanks. But Im still a long way off. I think the texture will take up most of the time.
Goro: Hey! It seems like we have been in different timezones last couple of days. Thanks for dropping by. Glad you like it.

[Geta-Ve]

if you can take out some polys somewhere, I'd try to make a nice long tounge coming from the top sorta haning over the side if ya know what i mean?

I dunno, Im stupid :p great job so far though, randomize those toes now!

[naenae]

wow!! .. have to say... at first i was a bit disappointed that u chagend the design, because i really like your first drawing..

but now c the 2nd design and the model it think i'll b real cool... and yaa... it did remind me of the harrypotter's book too.. cool man!! cute and scary in the same time

... u work fast too!! really impressive... i've just started :eek: .. i guess.. i'd better get going

keep up the good work.. i'm subscribing to your thread :thumbsup:

[Supervlieg]

Geta-Ve: Yeah, I was also thinking about adding a tongue. Toes will be randomized, did get round to it yesterday.

naenae: Glad u like this one too. Better get started on yours :D

[Squibbit]

Great, work , dude, can't wait to see the final version :thumbsup:


.

[Supervlieg]

Thanks squibbit! Good to see you around here :)

Ok, i've beaten my lazyness and unwrapped the thing and slapped a preliminairy texture on it. Now for the fun part: working on the texture!

http://www.bolman.nl/cgtalk/ugac102-5.jpg

[JamesMK]

I'd say that's a very promising start on the textures. Thumbs up for that!

[Supervlieg]

Hehe, thanks. It needs a lot more love if it is to beat your normal mapped uber crate. :D

[JamesMK]

Hehe, thanks. It needs a lot more love if it is to beat your normal mapped uber crate. :D
I beg to differ - this is a cooler overall design than my old doom-ism :wise:

[gamePat]

Wow, very nice texture style. Looking even cute the little barrel.
Sorry nothing to criticise http://cgtalk.com/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

[Swizzle]

Hehe, thanks. It needs a lot more love if it is to beat your normal mapped uber crate. :DUber crate? Nay, not a crate: a giant sci-fi coffee maker with a bomb! A very cool one at that.

Have you thought about doing some green slime or something on the surface?

[Dargon]

Cool stuff Super!

I don't see the ciggy from the sketch though! Run out of polys? 'Cause ya gotta squeeze in the ciggy...

[Supervlieg]

Gamepat: Thanks!
Swizzle Stick: Thanks, yeah I plan to make the texture more slimy. I dont think I will go for green slime though. Ah who knows.
Dargon: I have some polies left. And I can assure you the ciggy will be in. Just havent gotten round to it yet.

[fanton]

it's very nice, very well done! :eek:

[aphexx]

this is a living crate :eek:
:) hehe the concept and current texture/model work kicks major ass.
would love to see it ingame!
please tell us who is going to take somthing (whatever is hidden in this throat) out of this ultimate crate and why should he take himself in such a danger?

[Geta-Ve]

nice! I love those textures :D reminds me of those.. erm.. drums.. you know?

[Supervlieg]

Fanton: Thanks!
Sacha: Heheh, thank you. Its not so much a barrel you can take stuff out off, its more like a barrel you use to put in stuff that will never be seen again. Unless youre a trained bio-barrel er, trainer. Or if you give it something it cannot hold down, if you catch my drift.
Geta-ve: Thanks, yeah I know those. I'll try to make the texture look less like a drum.

[jamihn]

I could use one of those in my appartment. Just stick in stuff that I never want to see again. He looks a bit clean right now, but it'll look much more icky when you slime it up. Great concept.

[Supervlieg]

Jahmin: thanks, he will be less clean in the end! Still a long way to go.

Here's a small update on the textures.
http://www.bolman.nl/cgtalk/ugac102-6.jpg

[Geta-Ve]

Sacha: Heheh, thank you. Its not so much a barrel you can take stuff out off, its more like a barrel you use to put in stuff that will never be seen again. Unless youre a trained bio-barrel er, trainer. Or if you give it something it cannot hold down, if you catch my drift.


which equates to "I don't have enough polys left to put anything in the barrel" :D

Nice update man :) BTW, the drum thing was a BAD comment,as I like the look of it. Perhaps put some like green goo and crap around its ... mouth ... or not

edit: btw, how in the world do you pronounce your screen name? :)

[Supervlieg]

Geta-ve: Thats pronounced su-per-flee-g (and that a hard G, it's probably only known in dutch)

More crap is around the mouth is on the way! And I think I have around 10 polies left, I will probably use those to put some alpha planes with hair here and there.

[HellBoy]

4th page Supervlieg, you must be proud of yourself

[Supervlieg]

lol, yeah. On to page 40!

[migusan76]

:thumbsup: Really liking this one, The textures are looking Great. Can't wait to see it finished!

[Neil]

I'd make some blood/saliva running down the sides from the top. Help define the parts of the monster some more.

[Supervlieg]

Migusan: Thanks!
Neil: I like the blood idea. I think I will use that. Thanks for the suggestion.

[-KDX-]

rock out.

I love how creative some of you got for this challenge..

-KDX-

[Kid-Mesh]

Wow very cool and original :thumbsup:

[Supervlieg]

http://www.bolman.nl/cgtalk/ugac102-7.jpg

This is the final update before submission hits. I considere this finished enough for submission. I've added a spec and bump map. Also tweaked the texture a bit more and added blood and hair. Will do some final tweaking in the last days.

Kid mesh, -KDX-: Thanks for your kind words :beer:

[JamesMK]

Ah, really great looking now - particularly his toes and the inside of it... that would be the throat, right? :D

[Supervlieg]

Thanks James! Ehm, yeah, lets just say it's a throat.

[JamesMK]

Something that struck me just now though... the teeth could use a little better readability - right now they sort of blend in with the other white-ish material on the top. Maybe something more flesh coloured just around each tooth root (simply cannot be valid english, but I hope you understand what I mean)

[Supervlieg]

I think I know what you mean. Ill try to fix that. Thanks for the tip!

[Squibbit]

just so cool dude


.

[aphexx]

hey supervlieg this eh..thing is just :thumbsup:
i think you gonna go for winner with it. the design is great, the idea is great.
perhaps you have some kind of engine, where you can put it in, to see how it fits in a game environment? (from other projects perhaps?) also a short "feeding"-animation would be a blast!

[jOBe]

this is the weirdest thing i've seen in a long time.
awsome job on the textures. :thumbsup:

[Supervlieg]

Squibbit: Thanks!
Sascha Henrichs: Thanks. Im looking into putting it into a realtime engine. Somehow I cant get it to work in cult3d, so I'll look at other options.
jOBe: Lol, thanks!

[migusan76]

:) Hey Supervlieg thats what I had planned to do also, But iam using the ogre3D engine (http://www.ogre3d.org/) which is real simple and has material scripts and lets you use real-time shaders as well. Maybe you should give that one a try if you know some Coding.

[kobi]

Very nice I like the skin texture on the barrel it looks thick and tuff great job top notch

[Supervlieg]

Migusan: Thanks, I suck at coding though. I've been trying to get it into virtools, but sadly the spec and bump dont show up there. So I'll have to keep looking. Maybe I'll just do a quicktime movie.

Kobi: Thanks!

[migusan76]

Supervlieg: Yea that is the only sucky thing is that you need to know some coding, But Iam not sure I've ever seen any openSource engine out there that was just drop you model and shaders with out some kind of coding to it. But if you find something like that let me know :)

[Supervlieg]

Ive prepped the submission sheets, and added a quicktime turnaround movie.

[Bazooka Tooth]

Great work Supervlieg, very unique, stylized, nice modeling and great texturing. :thumbsup:

[DevilHacker]

Unbelievable texture. Its real inspirational.
Good Job, I am sad to admit it, but I think we got a winner here.
http://cgtalk.com/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif
