Infantry Soldier

Medyo magaan sched and downtime sa office kaya gawa ako ng separate na WIP dito.
I started modeling a soldier, an infantry soldier which means "they" ( I used they since they will be many in the scene I'm planning to make LOL ) are low ranking officer and aren't that good at combat but they are very well armored. He will be an enemy of Henco which will be part of my demoreel.

here's the concept art I made:


Infantry Soldier by ~romanredice on deviantART

Started yesterday and here's where I'm at now:


Front

Back

I changed the collar. Don't have any reason though why, I just thought I changed it hehee. As you can see I wasn't able to do the concept for his back so I just modeled spontaneously the objects on that part. Comments are welcome. Have a good day! Cheers!

ang husay mo talaga idol talong talo kay Henco yan hehe

nice ganda yan pag natapos

comment ko lang, mejo mas i-pop mo yung mga rectangle design dun sa shoulders

san mo pla nirender? ganda may mga reflections pa astig

@fp999 - thanks bro,hehe, Oo yun plano ko.

@reyknow - thanks bro, cge gawin ko yan. Medyo curvy nga. Bale 3 point lighting lang saka may Sphere globe na may HDRI image sya. Render muna ako ng isang beauty tapos isang ambient occlusion. Then sa PS naman, import sila, Ambient occlusion pass nasa taas ng beauty pass tapos change mo lang yung blending mode nun into multiply. Para mas ma-accentuate yung "near to each other object shadowing". Kung malabo sabi ka lang hanap ako ng Tut na link or ipost ko step images dito. Thanks bro sa pagdaan. Kita ko si Marian, Yummy!

aruy di ata kaya ng computer ko ganyan render! max ba yan o maya? baka meron sa net na lighting na ayos na, isang pindot nlng hehe

cge astig un post ka ng step images mo

mga master ano po meaning ng "render in beauty" saka ano ung ambient occlussion

@ reyknow - kaya yan bro. Maya gamit ko. LOL wala yatang ganyan sa or ewan ko lang. Gnawa ko na yung steps, iuupload ko nalang mamaya sa tutorial section ng maya.

@fpj999 - Render in beauty means na yung rendered image mo completo na. Meron na syang shadow, reflection, color, bump etc. Pwede kasi ihiawalay ang pagrender ng color, diffuse, reflection etc. Ambient occlusion naman para sakin ay ang pagdadagdag ng shadow sa mga objects na magkakalapit sa isa't isa. ito sabi sa wikipidea

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambient_occlusion

ang husay mo man, bumps ba yang mga butas na bilog sa suit niya?
bago kong aabangan to.

@megs - salamat megs. Hindi, kasali siya sa geomery. Kasi pagnaisipan ko lagyan ng abubut sa likod, pwede sya dyan ikabit. hehe

upd8:

thanks sir! now i know

@fpj999 - np man. I'll be posting a tutorial on how to set up a render like this. Hopefully this week.

upd8:



Front



Back


I added some seams for the suit( the cloth he wears under his armor). So its more like a jacket that can be open from the front and the same with the pants.

upd8:


Front


Back

Finished the body. I kinda felt that there is a need to add something below the stomach area. I thought it was kind of empty, so I put a buckle on it. I recycled Henco's head. Simply modifying it a little bit and putting a human ear instead of the original one. Now unto the Helmet.

anung maga software mo dito man, ang lupit ah naeexcite na kong matapos to ah.

Thumbs up!! you inspire me Man,. hehe!

@pressure - Maya gamit ko dito megs, hindi pa naman tayo lumilipat haha. Salamat bro.

@bullet_1984 - salamat padi! Post mo mga gibo mo ha.

upd8:

Back

Zoomed shots:



On the Front



On the Side



On the Back

Finished the helmet.The character model is quite complete but I'll probably add some more detail but only the small stuff like the handle of the zipper for his suit etc. Anything I can think that would make the model sell more. Comments are welcome as I'm still in the model stage hehe. Cheers!

upd8:



This is the concept of what his weapon will look like. I think I'll be doing a melee weapon and a pistol also.

upd8:



Here's the screenshots of the model on top of the reference



Rendered images of different angles of the Gun. This is the ambient occlusion pass. Comments are welcome

ganda na ng progress ah nice

comment ko lang, kung futuristic yung rifle maganda siguro kung futuristic yung sights. parang may mount para sa scope. idea lang

Thanks bro. Cge gawin ko sya ASAP. Buti nagsabi ng hindi pa ako malayo sa texturing LOL. Mas Cool nga siguro kung futuristic yung sights.

upd8:



Made some changes to the sights. I put a sniper like sight and the viewer would be like a monitor that even if you don't look at it, you can see it in the Helmet screen. But if they don't have the helmet on, they can manually look at the monitor. something like that. I can probably do an animation for that .

Thanks to reyknow for the suggestion.

upd8:





Finished texturing the head. No hair for now, I'll have to experiment with shave and haircut first but I'll probably do that after I finished all the texture top to bottom. I used displacement and bump, no normal map. Probably for the body I would use that.



I rendered 13 different passes and composited them in Autodesk Toxik. Next task is setting up the SSS shader, that would be the main shader for the head.

tol comment ko sa mukha yung textures realistic pero yung face mismo mejo mukhang anime.

sa material mo naman, since wala ako alam jan hehe, may nakita ko dati sa net astig baka makatulong sayo

@reyknow - thanks man for dropping by. Tama ka bro, balak ko kasi Semi realistic, parang Tekken or Dragon Age cinematic type na characters. Parang ganito:




Syempre hindi pa ganyan level ng gawa ko LOL.
I'll look into it and tingnan ko kung ano maiimprove ko mukha. Sa material naman, iba ibang material ginamit ko dyan medyo nahilo nga ako LOL. Sa tunay na render na kasama set, cguro aabot pa sya ng 40 passes. Pag may time gawa ako tutorial nito kung pano iseparate lahat ng passes, kasama normal map, shadow, motion vector, color, diffuse etc. Pero gagawa palang ako ng main shader nya na SSS. LOL, hindi ko alam kung paano gawin yang nilagay mo. Kung mahahanap mo yung link, tingnan ko at baka maadapt natin Salamat ulit

sa deviant art ko lang nakita yan eh, nagsubok na rin ko hanapin kung pano nya ginawa pero di nya sinabi.

40 passes?? parang andami na sobra nun!

may libro pala ko d2, pangalan "Creatve ESSENCE: The Face", try mo hanap ng ebook meron siguro na madodownload lang.

meron sya 2 paraan para makagawa ng ganyan na output.

yung una SSS. nakadescribe d2 ko pano yung SSS nya, pero di kasali yung exact settings, parang maliit na description lang. 15 passes lang sya.

yung isang paraan nya eh yung "poor man's SSS", basically sa photoshop karamihan ggwin, tapos realtime ang SSS, parang para sa next gen games.

check mo to baka makatulong parang "poor man's SSS"

@reyknow - thanks bro. LOL actually bro medyo kunti na 40 passes para sa post kasi nga yung sa transformer inabot ng 120 passes hehe. mga 20 passes sa character, 5 sa environment effects at 15 sa set. Medyo nga marami pero mas efficient sya kasi hindi mo na kailangan magrender ulit kasi pwede mo i-tweak na paisa isa ang mga passes lalo na pag 32 - bit floating image ang narender. Meron na rin ito kasama SSS.

Share ko ang mga ginamit ko na mga passes:


Key light Diffuse Pass


Rim light Diffuse Pass


Fill Light Diffuse Pass


Environment Ambient Pass


SSS pass


Color Pass


Key Light Specular Pass


Rim Light Specular Pass


Fill Light Specular Pass


Fresnel Pass


Reflection Pass


Ambient Occlusion Pass


Color Ambient Pass



Ito example ng mas marami na passes na ginamit sa District 9:

Check mo yung video sa gitna na malaki

About don sa SSS, kakatapos ko lang gawin post ko mamaya yung sa akin. Isang pass lang sya kaso yung lang, malaki ang network shading nya.

Thanks sa info bro. Hanapin ko yung creative essence, baka may mahanap maganda na info.
