[volcano]

[aelex]

This is absolutely amazing! So many details. But did there go something wrong with the gun on the back of the Zoran Lazarevic sculpt?

[gorillajin]

I am not a fan of zbrush or zbrush detailed characters, but your zbrush skill is amazing. Fantastic.

[MayaBug]

Awesome work, awesome game!

Are the Chloe and Elena sculpts ominious signs of what's to happen in number 3??

One of the best sculpts I have ever seen!

[JuGGerNauTT]

superb sculpting skills! To me the best quality of these sculpts are the cloth & props detailing.

It would be nice to have a small insight on the alpha detailing process :beer:

Excellent, congratulations dude

[WyattHarris]

Saw this over at ZBC. Man oh man this is top notch. The cloth work and textures on Karl's outfit is probably the best I've seen.

[CGIvan]

Saw these at zbrushcentral. They're probably the best sculps I have ever seen:drool:. Love the "clay" renders as well. Awesome work man.

PS. The game kicks ass:thumbsup:

[Torcharts]

Only played through quarter of the first game (before I get stoned to death, it was on my brothers PS3 so I only got a small go :D ) but I got the art book for xmas and its got some incredible work in there. Love the sculpts, nice one :)

[filda]

gratulations! well deserved

[PavelPetrenko]

Really very good job. Love details :buttrock:

[Milivoj-Lemonade3D]

Amazing mind blowing stuff!

[banzato]

Amazing details. Congratulations.

[eyetood]

the facial scar and skin are outstanding....not sure if I've seen better!! wow :)

[TraceR]

Seeing stuff like this makes me think it's time to throw aside my dreams of working professionally as a modeler and that I should just go become an accountant or something. Seriously dude, how did you do this? How long did it take? Where were you trained?

:applause:

[loked]

Haggie, amazing work brother! I know I've told you a million times, but doing it on a forum is more fun :)

[artlina]

awesome work! love it

[Djampa]

This is superb quality artwork material, congratulations !
:applause:

Are you working on the 3rd version?

My best wishes,

[lithningblue]

pro works, and more impresssive game on ps3

[hosienmax]

Wow, very good sculpt, and render is grate

good luck :thumbsup:

[HannoHagedorn]

Allright, back from GDC, time to answer your questions.
...and first of all big thx again to everyone for all the nice comments! :bounce:

JuGGerNauTT:
For the stitches I took some time and created a multitude of tileable alphas of stitches and seams. They are basically resembling little displacement maps. Similar to this one here, which comes with Zbrush:
http://www.zbrushcentral.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=239894
Then I used the Stitch3(z3.1 )/Stich1(z4.0) brush and lazy-mouse to “walk” them over the models surface.

For the cloth structure details I initially displaced the structure in Zbrush to get all the details into the sculpt. But even when decimated those meshes were ways to much for Maya. So I was forced to use bumpmaps for the renders. But to be honest, the difference between displacing the geo in Zbrush and adding those details later in the normalmap is negligible. Once it’s ingame, you won’t be able to make out the difference. The cloth structure was initially created and layed out in Photoshop and imported to Zbrush as a displacement map.

TraceR: haha dude, thats kindly said, but please.. never stop!

Judd: You crazy south-african! thx man :)

...and yea, we we are working on part 3. Its called "Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception" this time and is scheduled for 1st of November 2011 as it stands so far.

[Branko]

Effin' wicked, beautiful renders and great anatomy. Well done!

You know, I've been modeling on and off as a hobby for about 8 years now, and while I'm definitely not a terribly skilled artist, and therefore have difficulty executing certain techniques, I at least have a pretty good knowledge of what those techniques are, and how one goes about creating certain details, shapes, etcetera. I have seen pretty much all of the art in the choice-galleries from the various communities I frequent, and currently I can't remember any of them making me stop and think "How in the hell did they do that...?". Which isn't to say I know everything about modeling, but I've never been so overwhelmed that I didn't even know how you would even begin a certain project.

You good sir, have completely baffled me as to how you could get so much detail onto those models. They are -no doubt in my mind- the best models I've seen to date. Not to mention the posing and render/lighting setup are absolutely top-notch.

So uh... yeah... keep up the good work?

[Sk8erWolf]

Very good work, your details are awesome, there is a lot fealing of gravity, the sculpting is fantastic and i never sow so good way to show the artwork
only one thing to make it more realistic, the gun effectively must have a little botton instead the little belt, because must be still but when one soldier have to get out it, must be faster than possible so every weapon bag are with bottons that open with a little pull :thumbsup:

[vindow]

Power-pack..... simply gr8 stuff.... very heavy detailed and precise work... thanx 4 sharing it.

[JinV]

Simply amazing!


Fantastic work.

[fusedgore]

[WilliamCameron]

Great work Hanno!
Thanks for sharing, the info on the stitches,
Can't wait for Uncharted 3

[TyJohnson]

I'm in love with the treatment of these models and your attention to detail.
I found it odd you left the shotgun lo_res when everything else is so richly detailed, was that intentional?

[TheDistiller]

Superb models! Keep up the good work on Uncharted III.

[yoeb]

it's amazing man.... i like it... :cool::cool::cool::cool:

[deadland]

Stunning work! I love the burned part of the face on the first pic and the action figure look on the others.

[cravenis]

Wow! these images are absolutely stunning, i hope i can improve my skills in such a way that i can one day reach this level!

[3mm]

excellent as always love your works my friend

[MAXPOWER7]

Just awesome work m8. I've got a couple questions for you:

How long did it take to make those models from scratch to a textured final version and how much time did you use for sculpting?

Next one. As you sculpted every little detail, how did you texture those details? For example, the stiches. Did you use coloring mode also while sculpting the stiches in place or how did you manage to get the texture of stiches in the same place as it is in the model? Hope the question makes sense :)

[tt]

Great Image :thumbsup:
Welcome the advice I

[SoulArcanium]

The detail levels are amazing. Well done!


PS. Lazarevich is such a great character in the game, I will miss that deformed Russian Face in Uncharted 3 :P

Did you use coloring mode also while sculpting the stiches in place or how did you manage to get the texture of stiches in the same place as it is in the model? Hope the question makes sense :)Funny you should ask that, since Hanno answered (http://forums.cgsociety.org/showpost.php?p=6896956&postcount=46) that in the exact previous page!

Yes I've read that comment but there are no answers to my questions about how long did it take and how did or how was he planning on texturing those small details. I know he used a sculpting brush for the geometry so how was he going to make the diffuse texture of the stiches to the same place as it is in the sculpt.

[FastEddie76]

These uncharted sculpts are so amazing!

[congfan123]

很细很细。。。。。很喜欢啊！
