I dont understand why doing this

the models from Zbrush are too highpoly and you cant get them to SA unless you lower the polys

please explain me why?

[Quadropheniac90]

You're adding too much (unnecessary) detail to the higher subdivision levels and too few to the lower levels. Try detailing the lower levels first, then moving upwards and detailing there. (I'm assuming you use Zbrush)

 

For example, you have random large bumps on him which don't look too nice. The pores look nice though. Not trying to be a dick, just trying to give some supportive criticism.

 

Try to work on the detailing on lower levels and smooth out those big bumps and it'll look ALOT better.

 

@Quechus: Zbrush (versions 2 and 3.1) can generate normal maps from the high resolution models. So you can use those normal maps (and other maps you generate from Zbrush) in game engines (like Source I think). Not GTA SA or anything though , IV when the tools come out, certainly.

 

Example:

 

That's my Vercetti HD lowpoly mesh with a normal map generated from the highpoly meshes.

 

That's the beauty of Zbrush. Though without Zmapper (version 3) that functionality disappears and you have to do it like Jost-Vice said, but some older PCs like mine will explode upon trying such a thing.

Ok, I'll try that.

 

@quechus13: Because of the normal maps and aldo you can make better textures combining normal maps and new textures from ZBrush.

 

 

BTW, I didn't make it from scratch, I took the head base model from GTA IV.

I didn't wanted to make confusions.

 

 

OOPS, seems that teun edited the post

 

EDIT: CJ

[Quadropheniac90]

Ah yes, already much better than Niko. Nice details on the lips and such. Keep it up.

[2pac_96]

Are you talking about CJ?

 

CJ:

Ears: 90%

Nose: idk how to make it better

Texture: It obviusly needs a new texture because the original is 128x128

 

Niko:

Need to start over again and there isnt too much to do to him because he is already HP. (Meaby ears)

[Slim Shady III]

Turned out realistic and perfect

Might be interesting

Looks very good .

Can you make an screen without enb please .

[MateoGallardo]

Started working on an Alien:

 

Needs:

1- Texture

2- Attach to body

3- New skeleton

4- Rig it

5- New anims

6- Make a cleo to make him appear near and inside Area 69.

 

And meaby better feet.

[TigerTanker]

@MateoGallardo: If you want better textures, use navetsea's CJ skin tweak. That has lovely textures. And I bet it'll look badass with your HD CJ.

[Quadropheniac90]

Alien looks fun. Nice model so far I think it needs a bit more definition overall. Good though.

 

This is a rather early WIP of Wolverine. Made in 3dsmax, will be detailed in Zbrush.

 

 

I still gotta start Claude as well.

[2pac_96]

couse it looks like this

As Slim asked, 2 screens.

 

@2pac_96: ROFL at your picture!

[TigerTanker]

Looking hot, Artur.

@Teun: Your models are really well-made. Great job! Cookies for both of you:

[2pac_96]

Damn Artur its the head that was usally planned for IV right?

[Quadropheniac90]

Thanks guys.

 

Nice model Artur, looks very nice. Would really fit a next-gen game more though.

 

Update on Wolverine. I finished the base mesh of the head. I gotta make the teeth next. Dunno what after that, probably the body. After that, Zbrush.

 

 

I made a morphtarget to close the eyes and mouth.

How can we get TIP to see the mod?

[Evj]

Artur nice Moddel. The Shawdows under the eyes are great its soo highpoly.

[txdeditor]

Ole' Reece.

[Quadropheniac90]

Looking good, txdeditor. The texture edit looks very decent, actually makes CJ look old indeed.

 

I made Wolverine's mask to give the impression it's him, cause the pics I showed don't immediately tell you it's him.

 

[Function-X-]

Wolverine look great !

[Artur$MD]

@teun.steenbekkers: Looks nice. But don't forget to give it teeth

 

 

 

No homie love? No hug?

[Slim Shady III]

Extreme Artur .

Have you remake your texture ?

Now is very like the real T.I .

[2pac_96]

@2pac_96: ROFL at your picture!

Artur, as this may sound unhelpful to you, and despite many people disliking you, you are a great ped artist, you truly are. You've done a great job replicating him, but instead of focusing on his face (IMO, it's IV quality), you should start doing the same for the clothes, they should look crisp, because they're too blurry. Nice work.

[Quadropheniac90]

Also, the neck looks rather weird. The head model itself is perfect though.

I would not say weird.Its just not soo good as the head.

[Slim Shady III]

[txdeditor]

I love the new CJ , It looks amazing
