Title: Chess: King Piece
Post by: Guilherme Amorim on September 24, 2008, 01:11:03 pm
Hi!
 ;D I really love reproduce real things in 3D...
But I'm not the kind of guy that is good on it x)
And a lot of times i just put my works to side and forget it

BUT now I'll try to no to that x)

lol

Here is a piece :)

very good - are you planning to make the rest of the set too?

and could i ask what material and render settings you used?  it has a really nice glowy feel which i've never been able to achieve.

:)

The shadows look excellent!  I take it that you're using a lower value for the main section of the shadow, but you also used some lights with much higher values.  It gives you a very nice realistic effect.  I may have to try it for myself sometime!

I also like the basic, yet distinct horizon, it definitely adds depth.

Thanks, I thought It was too simple :D

I did this piece some months (one or two) ago so I can't say if I used the glow effect of Paint.net =\
but I'm a bit sure that I did

And yes, I'll try to do whole set :)

Here's one direct from ani8or:

if someone get a little hint to the material to the black pieces, I would be grateful, the one I made is too dark


I'm putting the .an8 file here if you want to see the settings ;)

Aw, actualy, there are four lights, infinite, one coming from bottom(to represent the reflect of the ground, making shadow), another from up, the shadow is soft 100, and two in diagonal, in in the same position, one creating a shadow soft 20, and a normal volume shadow(I think it needs to be changed to raytrace to appear now)

For your black piece you might try

amb 2
diffuse 1
spec 0.5
em 0
rough 30
brilliance 1

R 17 G 17 B 17 or a bit less but more than 0

Well made but I don't think ART supports fog yet though scanline still does

You're most welcome :)

WOW, that's wicked sick! :o (excuse my skate talk)

it looks pretty high poly.(im nudging towards 'Wire frame?')

Were the ridges actually extruded, modeled (i mean vertex by vertex), or a texture?

and lastly, how long have you been using anim8or?

Three parentheses,a new record.

No, but I'll use ART without showing the background xD

I'm not sure I understood you:

"(im nudging towards 'Wire frame?')"

Actually they are extruded, and the I converted it to subdivided to make it smoth

Almost a year :P
Anim8or is the first 3D modeller I have ever used.
I learning yet, this is the best model I did, coz before I used to worry just with lights and shadows (using downloaded models ).

I did the last piece today, the horse, it's horrible xD
and Rook (or Hook),aw... the "tower"!  is horrible too

The "tower" I can fix, but the horse is a problem, I'm a very bad modeller xDD

Finally, whole set rendered, took 10 hours and 10 mins of my life  :o

xD

I can say that the problem is that every piece is subdivided xD


Lighting 1 and 2
AA enabled 64
800x600
18 objects (8 pawns, 2 rooks, 2 horses, 2 bishops, 1 queen and 1 king)
A lot of faces
AmbientOccluder Enabled

This is the horse Poly, if someone can help make it better, I'd be grateful xD

Nice model but there a few things in the geometry that could use some work.
Well, first of all: why did you used so much tri's? You could merge alot of them together and make quads. Especially the middel part. Take a look at the image I attached. The tri's you used for the head are good, but the ones in the middle are sloppy.

Title: Re: Chess: King Piece
Post by: Guilherme Amorim on October 03, 2008, 12:43:28 pm
wow, now it's better \o/
I think it just needs a Texture, but I can find it :D
Title: Re: Chess: King Piece
Post by: floyd86 on October 04, 2008, 07:34:41 am
I shouldn't use an texture, maybe a bumpmap/specmap but no texture. I like the material you have now, it's clean. A texture might ruin it. It could use a slight glossy attribute, to make it more 'shinny'.

Good work. It must have taken you a while to model. Have you thought about joining the Anim8or Movie project as they are looking for anim8or with your ability. I am part of the project, I am the leader of the partner, Goldline Pictures.

We intend to help render, promote, advertise the project as well as anything else they throw at us.

But I really like the chess set, it does look like a real life set, that you have taken a photo of, did you use a set to help you model?

I did the last piece today, the horse, it's horrible xD
i'm sorry to say, i have to agree.  i can't help thinking it looks more like a drunken llama than a horse :P

well, the neck bit isn't too bad, but the muzzle and ears just don't look right at all.  it sort of looks like you've got multiple polys intersecting each other in some places.  maybe use a reference image or two?
