Enchanted forest -Environment - Dr.Jones

[polymath]

it works, prob just an IE glitch :(, Can't wait to see it 3d ;)

[Joril]

Wonderfull setting!
It should rock in 3D, propably quite a challenge as well :)
hehe, the woman in the comic looks like a Super Saiyajin.
I can't wait to see more of your work.
Have fun! :bounce:

[Dr.Jones]

this is what I've already done.
Yeah no tree yet, but I'm working on it.

Edit: it's only bump map. No diffuse yet, but i think it already looks ok

[Equinoxx]

oh my, taht would look cool with some jungle stuff crawling about it

[hypercube]

Jebus! Couldn't see the concept pic before, always "due to high server demand, etc." :eek:

The wip is looking SWEET! and very true to style. Love the detail. Can't wait to see how it looks chunked up with stuff growing through it. :thumbsup:

P.S. what's the page from? is it out anywhere yet? humanoids?

[The Time Serpent]

nice bump map:thumbsup:
can i have?:)

[ZrO-1]

SWEET sweet sweet. I really like the Mayan feel the stone carvings have. Goregous.

[Dr.Jones]

Thank you guys. As you may have guessed, I'm trying to make the middle strip. I've made this column in the foreground before leaaving home. I won't get back until sunday evening, so no updates until monday. I was wondreing if any of you texture gods could give me advises for the color map. There is only bump map, used as a color mix map, but I would like to make I real diffuse map, but I don't really know what to do.

This page is from a french comic called Slhoka. It was drawn by a friend, Adrien Floch, and I borrowed him this page, to practce coloring. the original colors are very different, with very dark gray stones.

Weirdest thing: I had a dream with that exact thing in there...

Its great of course - very authentic :) Can't wait to see some vines :D

[rattfink]

cool man, thats badass. keep that ultra warm lighting to the scene, even though its just a structure it already looks enchanted....

[Howard Day]

Crap! I'm in trouble! :D

If you keep this level of quality, I don't see how I'd be able to beat you...
The only thing ?I'd say is that the tops of the pillars look way to blurry.

Other than that....
Bummer.

[Joril]

I feel that this is gonna be another beautiful entry :thumbsup:

[amusedtoe]

holy mother of pearl thats nifty :bowdown:

-peace

[alyssonb]

Nice work Dr. !!

[rolhionjs]

:eek:

I can't believe what i see !!! :) EXCELLENNTTTT !!!!

[Tellerve]

Wow, really nice! I too am going to keep my eye on this entry. I agree with Howard day on the tops being a tad blurry.

Amusedtoe- You said, "mother of pearl!" I love that, I always use that phrase at school when I'm pissed at something or when I'm excited about something. Either way a good phraze.

alright man your off to a hot start,
i wouldn't recomend doing a complete diffuse makeover. it looks so good with with just the pro. shader and bump, i would just recomend making a diffuse map as a grunge map maybe with a bit of its own bump looking like a little bit of diffused-dirt and bumped-erosian.

you could use your original bump map as the template, find\make some nice images of dirt,cracks,moss, or whatever and paint them onto a copy of your bump-template, then mask out the parts you dont want to use and mix them into a layered texture. be careful though when putting different materials on top of one another because some materials might require different base-shaders (ie. phong,lambert, cook-torrance , etc.)

if i knew what kind of soft-ware you were using i might be able to help more.

BTW, if you wanted to just make a diffuse map, all you would have to do is take that bump-template and paint it the same way you painted the concept illustration, in photoshop or whatever.
personally i think that could detract from the crispness of the image your already getting though. . .

i hope that helps a little
its starting off looking really nice... im subscribed keep it up

[Mike Pauza]

Sweet stuff. Your gonna give Howard a run for his money I think. So far I can't crit it at all.

[wedge]

looks good! I really like the way the bridge looks already...

BTW: You're not the same Dr.Jones that is texturing my Sebulba model, are you?

[Dr.Jones]

Thank for such reply. I'm sorry not to answaer sooner. I'm a little bit busy those day, exams soon, so I've update it a lot. I've done the pilar in the foreground, and now I'm working on some trees. The big trees will be modeled, while most will be done with a tree generator.
I'll update it as asoon as possible, but, I'm working on Wedge's Sebulba model, and I would like to finished it first.

Wedge: I had no problem to import it into max, but when I try to export, it does keep mapping coordinates. So I can make very cool stuff, using cylindrical maps and unwrap them. I'm making a planar map, so you wont have problem to apply it. I've almost finished the bump map.

[Sangotten]

Very nice!!!

I think you did a good job on the colouring, but the modelling and texturing is really great!!! The texture seems to be allmost the same as in the comic page, cool!

Tres bien!!!:thumbsup:

[wedge]

Nice to see you over here on CGTalk, Dr.Jones... I had no idea :beer:

[Azure]

Looks like a great start, this is one that I will definately be looking for updates on.

~A~

[smeag0L]

Wow! That looks really good... just a bump map... keep on with da good work! :)

I'll be expecting the other parts of the enviroment. :D
