(Prizes Added!) Speed Sculpt Challenge - 001 - Orc's Head

[GARBO X]

bgen your orc reminds me Moria Orc from Lord Of The Rings

[bgen]

GarboX i am very glad you said so, i had them in mind.

[Knut]

I like the nose on that one bgen =)

[Redne]

finished:

[DaddyDoom]

Tnx a lot bgen!
I can see you're using Zb2 :)
Where the heck is the Brushes pallete? I cant locate it in the menus, and the side bar does not feature it...
Sorry for all the silly questions, I'm really feeling out of the water here :S

DD

[neokyubi]

Woaa nice work everybody
haaaa... i've been sitting in class for 4 hours thinking about how i could improve my orc. I'm addicted. its all your fault! and yay i received my first award.. for posting :D haha

omnicypher did you texture in zbrush? is that possible to change colors in certain areas in mudbox too? How would you guys go on about building a low poly around the highpoly? I always have this problem that the normal map baking is really weird. Does the lowpoly have to encage the entire highpoly?

[Knut]

If anything this is a perfect place to ask for suggestions and advice. We're all learning here. Now I don't know the answer to your question but don't be afraid to ask :)

At least in Zbrush you can bake a normal map from the high poly object you're working on onto the low poly version of the same model without having to create a new low poly mesh. It would surprise me if that wasn't possible in Mudbox too.

[bgen]

daddydoom - sry, as far as i know Zbrush 2.0 doesn't have a brush palette. I am using Zbrush 3.1 just got the Screenshot from somewhere else.
Knut - i see u're a nose fan :D

here my 3rd orc.

[miezis]

ok, so thanks to plug on 3dtotal.com i found about this comp and since i had a free afternoon i decided to take part.
2,5 hrs of work! :)

[Teyon]

NOTE: That only works well if the model has clean UV info. Models with overlapping UV information or no UV information will not work as well in ZBrush.

[funkdelic]

hehe really nice sculpts ppl!
freesupra: I really like your design man, reminded me a classic orc style heheh , congratulations man!
teyon: damn man, so much orcs hahaha, the "young" one is the best, go for it man! =]
crimson king: really cool 'bersek' style man! I would just give more "ears" to him!
montecristo: hahah damn gosebumps :P really cool concept man and also scary!

[Knut]

NOTE: That only works well if the model has clean UV info. Models with overlapping UV information or no UV information will not work as well in ZBrush.

This is very true. I didn't do it one the orc head since it's not a texturing challenge, but I'll add UVs for the next competition in case anyone want to texture it as well. Afterwards.

:)

[Freespace-3DT]

ok, so thanks to plug on 3dtotal.com i found about this comp and since i had a free afternoon i decided to take part.
2,5 hrs of work! :)

Welcome to the competition, miezis!
You've got a really crisp detailed orc, there.

[Mindblade]

Well, it´s done and final, after at least three hours(with a small lunchbreak) I would like to post this. Would I had some time to pose his face but as a matter of fact, now his teeth are not visible...

cheers

[bgen]

Mindblade- Since Knut told me that about my model as well - since the eye's are not part of the mesh - for a final entry you have to remove the eye's or else it won't be considered as an entry (disqualifiyed) - else it's a nice model.

[Mindblade]

Oohhhh...sorry...hope not disqualf. yet? Did not notice the thread about the eyes...here a FINAL update

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

Well i'm just blown away by this SMC, the talant that's in this one thread is just staggering.

I don't know how you guys do it, it's both astonishing and wonderful to see so many members jumping on board with this.

To say that this thread has been successful would be a massive understatement.

Well done to all who've entered for far and i'm very happy to sit back and watch you very talanted members sculpt away.

Absolutely brilliant stuff guys :)

Kind Regards

CG.

[Mindblade]

OOHH...AAHHH before I forget...Many, many thanks to Ryan Kingslien for his dam_standard brush. First time I tried it and i am very happy about the effect. Thanks again;-)

[power3d]

hey guys ,, here's my orc hope u like hm =)

2 hrs 7 mins

[bgen]

yes i must agree with ClassicGamer - with this competition a lot of ppl jump on the 3dtotal train. i myself even will start now to become an active participating member in this awsome community. I must say hats off to the Moderators of this community to make it so thriving, no wonder ppl love it here.
just my 10 cents :D.

power3d: that orc has an axe on his hat. lean him sideways you can use him to chop trees - great sculpt :D

[Tamal]

I m new to zbrush. So, this wat I got so far. Thanks.

[Knut]

Ctrl+S Chung Wong! Ctrl+S!

Oh and please don't link your images from offsite servers, as stated in the rules.

[Chung Wong]

Sorry. I better read the rules.

[silvaticus]

My second orc, this time more Warcraft style. Two hours until now, I`ll work on it more later tonight.
I guess this is one of the most rapidly growing threads on the net these days!

[sculptorwanted]

If Anthony Hopkins was an Ork...
My second created in ZBrush this time. 2hours.

[Knut]

Sorry. I better read the rules.

Always an advantage =)

[Aleks]

omnicypher did you texture in zbrush? is that possible to change colors in certain areas in mudbox too? How would you guys go on about building a low poly around the highpoly? I always have this problem that the normal map baking is really weird. Does the lowpoly have to encage the entire highpoly?

The current version of Mudbox doesn't have any texturing features.Well,you could use Freeze,Mask and Select brushes but I don't think blue,red and yellow are the best colors for orcs =D Mudbox 2.0 will have the texturing,though...

Mindblade: hehe relax,you aren't disqualified...yet :D Seriously though,he looks a bit freaky without the eyes. Why not make another one? ;)

power3d: Good stuff :) The rabbit lip is kinda funny :D

silvaticus: I like it so far :) The neck is a bit messy,though.

sculptorwanted: He does look like Anthony :haha:

[goronking]

i slapped it in the final already, but here we go, about 1 hour in Zbrush. Awesome work everyone, interesting to see the different results everyones got.

[funkdelic]

can I have spheres for the eyes?

[Yuzrass]

Hi, I am so excited when I found out that such challenge is here!! :)

Here is my 1st entry. Took me 3 hours.

[ALmanax]

This challenge is real fun. Nice entries everyone. Mine 2h 30 min

[Knut]

can I have spheres for the eyes?

No, you can only use the provided mesh as some applications don't have the ability to add them. But sculpting eyes is allowed ;)

[Aleks]

can I have spheres for the eyes?

Sorry,but no.

[funkdelic]

no problem at all, I thought i have seen some spheres some posts behind.. but it aint a problem! this makes things even more fun =]

[Knut]

no problem at all, I thought i have seen some spheres some posts behind.. but it aint a problem! this makes things even more fun =]

And fun is what we all want!
In addition to prizes :dance:

And reading the rules.

Now, less posting more sculpting! Unless you are posting your sculpts of course.

[bgen]

Yuzrass - i like ures alot mate. remind of an 3d model i have seen somewhere hmmm let's see if i can recall it :) but nice clean modelling.
ALmanax - hehe i could see that guy running behind a leader, and everytime the leader says something he just grunt's "oooookay" and does it without much thinking if it would be wise....

[armians]

hello,
2 hours 30 minutes in zbrush

[bgen]

4rth

[MonteCristo]

Damn, Bgen, you are cranking these suckers out. I would say the last one is pretty cool, but the neck is in need of proportion changes. A broad neck is fine, but this one is very broad indeed. Welcome aboard by the way. :)


Welcome to you Armians. Again another completely different take on the orc subject. I really am amazed by the fantastic range we are getting here. :D


Welcome, too, all the other members joining up to play in this sandpit of ours. We're having a lot of fun here, and you won't believe some of the cool stuff we have lined up for you that's gonna make this even better! WATCH THIS SPACE!

[ALmanax]

bgen that look is kinda funny because of his teeth. And i see you are taking the most out of this comp! Hope to see some more stuff here! :dance:

[Avatar-3DT]

Abouth 40 minutes in zbrush. I plan to doodle for about 20 more. So not final yet. Any of you can point me to some cool free material for this guy?

[bgen]

MonteCristo - thx for your kind words. I agree the neck looks ...
Nethertheless i gave him what i call " The Papi look" :D
Avatar - nice sculpt - i was allways a big fan of ure artworks - especially the older 2d sketches u posted 2 years back and more. Now i am a 3d fan of u'res as well.

here is "Old Papi's Update" i would love to give him one of these smoking pipes the old fellas have when they get into there years.

[Knut]

bgen is on a roll. is it a strap thing he's got there around his head or a hat?

[bgen]

it's a hat. i like the idea of have a strap there since he is an old Papi but hey. i like him as he is now.

[funkdelic]

avatar: you can found some cool materials here man http://www.zbrushcentral.com/zbc/showthread.php?t=56692&highlight=free+material
also, if you try searching for "material repository" you may find a thread with a bunch of cool stuff, sorry for not giving the direct link, Im trying to find it right now.

here´s another one guys 2:50 hrs, couldnt give all the details that I want.
hope u guys like it

[bgen]

I think The link funkdelic is seaching for is this one http://www.zbrushcentral.com/zbc/showthread.php?t=46175&page=1&pp=15&highlight=repository

[Teyon]

no problem at all, I thought i have seen some spheres some posts behind.. but it aint a problem! this makes things even more fun =]

A few pages back I give a short description of how I handle not using spheres and still get eye balls. I'll see if I can cough up a link.

I'll do better than a link, I'll just repost it:

What I did for the last head I made was to use the smooth brush in the area already setup as an eye socket. I then used the inflate tool on that area, followed by a lower powered application of the smooth tool again, followed by Ryan Kingslien's Dam_Standard brush that he gave away at ZBrush Central. I used that brush to cut into the ball the eyelid shapes (I could have used the standard brush instead though). I then used the inflate tool on the eyelid outline I drew, making sure the eyelids looked like they were separate from the eye. I then pinched the gap between the eyelid and eye to bring everything back together. Finally, I applied one more application of the smooth brush on a low setting over the entire thing (eye socket and ball).

Not as great as using spheres but it works in a pinch.

So that's one way of dealing with the problem.

[Marv]

not much, but it's a start. About 1 hr along.
Lovin the competition by the way.

[omnicypher]

funkdelic: that style is amazing! i like everything about it except the spikes on the neck.

neokyubi: yeah, i textured it in zbrush, but i havent used mudbox, so im not sure how it handles texturing. everything ive seen come out of mudbox has been the same nutral beige wax color, but that might just be the default material, like the red wax of zbrush.

[sculptorwanted]

This was referance to the first ork I sculpted as
a foam latex puppet in the 1980s .
Funkdelic: To close to what you were sculpting I was unaware, are
you working?
1 hour. (lunch).

[funkdelic]

Funkdelic: To close to what you were sculpting I was unaware, are

I´m sorry sculptorwanted, but I did not understand your question =/

[Avatar-3DT]

Hey guys, thanks a lot for the links, I'll have a look around.

[Mr. Bluesummers-3DT]

Just playing around. Don't think I'll take this one all the way, though.
Man am I rusty. :P

[sculptorwanted]

I´m sorry sculptorwanted, but I did not understand your question =/

Oh, srry man hehe
thank you glad that you liked =], no Im not employed right now, just studying to try to get into the game industry.
thx again!

[Aleks]

Man there are so many entries here that it's getting hard to reply to everyone :D
Some really cool works on the last pages :) I want to make another orc myself but there is some homework I got to deal with first :dunno:

Keep it up,guys!

[power3d]

bgen .. thanx mate =) that orc always "use his head" :wall:

Aleks .. thank u lol ... did u post somthing ???

[Macku]

First of all, hi guys!

As i noticed this challange i thought that it is a nice moment to register in here:)
So here is my first piece, wip- 1h 22 min.

And i must say that the idea of sculpting challanges is great!

[Knut]

Welcome to the forums Macku!
I must remind you of the rules on the first page of this thread though, you must upload the image to the forum using the file attachment function.

[Aleks]

power3d: Yeah I did.A couple of models :) They are somewhere in this thread :D

[Siege]

Cool stuff everyone. I spent a little over an hour and a half on this

It was loads of fun. Pretty pleased with this, although he is too GQ for an Orc.

[Teyon]

power3d: Yeah I did.A couple of models :) They are somewhere in this thread :D

Hurry with the homework, I want to see your Blizzardish Orc! (I need the inspiration)

[bgen]

and here i pop one again :D

[bryzol]

Hallo everyone!

It is my first time here, and its my first challenge in life, so please leave your coments. I know this orc is not a badgay but it may be very badgirl ;-)
It took me 3 hours to sculpt it. Hope you will like it a bit.

[Davee]

3hrs

Here's my second attempt. When I was nearing the end I realized he's got a Mike Tyson thing going on. I don't know about you guys, but I think he looks like he's about ready to take off an ear!

[Knut]

Clever use of the gum mesh there bryzol! =)
Davee: I love the clean look of you orc. An ear for an eye?

[Fenixy]

welcome all new ppls here :dance:, nice works

here is my second atempt, 45 minutes

[omnicypher]

this one is a bit closer to a troll i guess, but im still playing with proportions
1hour 10 minutes:

[Glottis]

nice entries guys!

I like this challenge, though, 3 hours a bit too wide timeframe, perhaps?

Here´s my take..

1 hour 20 minutes with ZBrush 3.0

[Aleks]

Hurry with the homework, I want to see your Blizzardish Orc! (I need the inspiration)

It's that time of the year again when I'm having my exams :dunno: I'm pretty busy right now with all this university stuff so I'm affraid I won't be able to make another entry :ugh:

Glottis: Nah,the time is just right.For some it takes ah hour for others the whole three :)

[Davee]

Davee: I love the clean look of you orc. An ear for an eye?

Thanks! I think he got into a scuffle with power3D's entry. It had such long juicy ears he couldn't resist, but that hat is dangerous!

[Glottis]

Glottis: Nah,the time is just right.For some it takes ah hour for others the whole three :)

ok

[neokyubi]

Ok my time's up on my 2nd head. This will be my final :-) i'm pretty satisfied since its my second model i sculpted :-D
thanks everybody for the support comments and crits. it helped me a lot. :dance: go go i want to see more scuplts!! :-)

[pogimonz]

I saw the comp ad on the 3dtotal frontpage today, and thought hey! why not join, my sculpting needs a lot of improvement..

anyway here's about 1 1/2 hour into it. I plan to finish it later maybe ad some skink details wrinkles, veins, etc.

[Crimson King]

Hi all

So after seeing all your work and different takes on the ork brief i had to have another go so hope you like it, crits welcome.

Power 3d im loving you dude with the killer headbut

Macku Thats one scary looking ork, great work

[M_Cederstrom]

Every time I get on this tread there's about 4 pages add on. Man this is to cool :). I see Avatar and Glottis nice to see you going the party.:D

[Chung Wong]

Wow, that a bit good Crimson King.

[omnicypher]

the 3 hour time frame is perfect, i plan to make a bunch of practice ones at around 1 hour then pick the parts i like and my final entry should take the full 3 hours. i hope to also break up the symmetry on the final one and decide on a good expression/pose.

[Crimson King]

Thanks Chung, I just finished it and already I'm getting feedback this thread is great.

[otas32]

This is only my third modeling attempt in Zbrush, which I started fooling around with less than a month ago during minutes I can steal from my 9 to 5 (which is completely web design oriented).
So PLEASE, be gentle!

http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs29/f/2008/128/4/4/Speed_Modeling_Orc_3D_by_otas32.jpg

[otas32]

Crimson King, simply WOW!

Man, so much good stuff! Well, like I've been told before, stick around people a LOT better than you, and you're always bound to learn something and get better at what you do :lurve:

[Aleks]

Crimson King: Loving the model.My favourite entry so far :)

[omnicypher]

otas32: looking great! how did you make the texture on the back of his neck?

[otas32]

otas32: looking great! how did you make the texture on the back of his neck?

Thanx omnicypher! :)

Just the standard alpha 59 on the standard brush :) (combining normal and alt pressed painting)

[omnicypher]

cool, i gotta start using more alphas, right now the one i mostly use is 39 for a sharp point

[tyjotr]

30 minutes in zbrush:

Continueing tomorrow :D

[BiG ToE-3DT]

Crimson King: I heard you were good, you just proved it.

Judging is going to be Dom War like.

[neolith]

Great stuff,people,i cant even keep track of the works i loved in here,the judging will be vey time consuming :D Anyways,here i did all i could do in exactly 3 hours,there are some parts that i just had to leave as they were when the time expired.I gotta try some more unconventional looking orcs too,for a change of style,like i've said it,but i gotta practice before that too :D

[pogimonz]

I think I'm done w/ this one.. This one's a bit over 3 hours..

[M_Cederstrom]

Well I here is another one I was able to get out, I like this one a lot. I did this in about 2:30 hours. I think this will be my final . keep them coming guys.:D

[neolith]

@M_Cederstrom: Yours reminds me of the Predator,with it's face shape and hair.Nice one:)

[Yuzrass]

bgen - Yuzrass - i like ures alot mate. remind of an 3d model i have seen somewhere hmmm let's see if i can recall it but nice clean modelling.

Hey, Thx bgen for the comment. I was really looking for a bulky buff look for my Orc. Wow!! After I finish posting and call it a night, this morning I wake up seeing so much more entry!! This is great and creative!! Execelent guys!! Thx alot to 3DTotal for making space for us to express our sculpting and idea.

I'm gonna make another one tonight! This is so cool!! :)

[funkdelic]

really nice crimsom king, my favorite so far!

[M_Cederstrom]

Thanks Neolith. :D

[DeviousFish]

Wow. So many good entries, and it's only mid week.
Well, my -last- entry will be my final, as I'm locking down for all my AP tests and finals and BS-for-all until end of next week.

Really looking forward to seeing who the winners are. Good luck, everyone. :)

[funkdelic]

really cool stuff guys!

heres another one, about 2:35 hrs

suggestions and critics are really welcome!
cheers

[power3d]

thanx Crimson King =) ... ur ORC soooooooooo GOOD .. \o/ god bless u

[Astaroth]

just a curiosity, how many polygon can you handle in zbrush, and how much are you using in this contest???

[tyjotr]

Update (now at 2 hours)
http://img361.imageshack.us/img361/3447/orc2hoursxv1.jpg

Will finish it off later today :D

[Avatar-3DT]

Twenty minutes more, a few details and a new material. My final ork. I have to say I'm really amazed how many people participate in this and how many awsome pieces of speed works I saw. This was really fun and was the only reason I got in. 'Cause where there is a lot of people theres bound to be a lot of fun :D at least around here that law applies.

[Topher]

Hey all new to the site...

About an hour and a half in.

[DeadlyFreeze]

Pretty cool avatar, can you post a link to that matcap I haven't seen that one before its quite nice.

[DJdude]

hey topher, that looks like voldemort.

[Emeth003]

Hello for all . I'm new member on this forum and this is my first post here.

[DaddyDoom]

WHOAA Emeth003! Welcome to the forums, and what an arrival :D

[NeoGeo]

yea it's really really awsome

[silvaticus]

Good lookin` orc indeed, Emeth. That hood looks like an extracted mesh and I think that`s against the rules. You can just sculpt it on the existing mesh if you have enough polys.

[strict9]

i hate to be a stick in the mud...but the really nice looking ones.....arn't they using multi tools?...i read some where in the beginning that some one was beeing told off for adding a piercing or something?
anywaysss......

anyway as a little headsup towards the new zbrush users......if you use the standards sphere in zbrush or any other imported mesh where more than 4 polys get together...after subdividing that a few times you start to get a gap in your mesh because of to many poly lines beeing bunched up...same goes for triangles....it turns bad...you can easily hide it by pinching it but it will bite you in the butt somewhere down the line.
have fun

[Knut]

Welcome to the forums tyjotr, Topher and Emeth003, as well as all the other people who recently joined!
The quality of your work and amount of entries are nothing but breathtaking!

[Knut]

i hate to be a stick in the mud...but the really nice looking ones.....arn't they using multi tools?...i read some where in the beginning that some one was beeing told off for adding a piercing or something?
anywaysss......

That is correct, no extra mesh of any kind is allowed. As stated in the rules, this will lead to disqualification.

Reminder:
Don't forget to post your final sculpts in the Final Submissions (http://forums.3dtotal.com/showthread.php?t=58459) thread, and use the forum's file attachment function for displaying your images

[MonteCristo]

Good lookin` orc indeed, Emeth. That hood looks like an extracted mesh and I think that`s against the rules. You can just sculpt it on the existing mesh if you have enough polys.

Doesn't look like an extracted mesh necessarily. It could just be masked off, and then inflated. :)

[silvaticus]

Wanna bet? : )

[Crimson King]

Its easy to mask out an area and inflate the cloth, so its very likely that its all one mesh, but i think he might have gone into zbrush at the end for the sub tools. anyway its a beautiful model, great work mate.

[MonteCristo]

Wanna bet? : )
LOL. Only one way to know for sure... I'm hoping not.:cry:

[DeadlyFreeze]

You might consider asking for a polyframe/wireframe shot with the final submission, with zbrush at least you can see if there was any extra sub-tools used and original base mesh. I don't know if mudbox has an equivalent feature though.

[Emeth003]

http://emeth.czweb.org/ork3.jpg

[MonteCristo]

Phew! Good job I didn't put any money down on that.:o Thanks for the honesty Emeth. Really nice model. :)

[BlackPete]

Hi everybody, my first post on this forum. Nice to see everyone's take on the good old trusted orc's head. :dance::dance::dance:

CrimsonKing - Good job mate, like your 2nd head even better than the first one.

MonteCristo - Thanks for encouraging me to join, I enjoyed it. If the gods are willing I might even manage another go before Monday!

Keep up the good work everyone, there is no such thing as too many orc's heads! ;)

[MonteCristo]

Yay. Pete's in. Welcome aboard matey. Loving the sculpt... Another completely different take on the theme.

[Avatar-3DT]

I was asked what was the material I used on my model. The material can be found here:
http://www.zbrushcentral.com/zbc/showthread.php?t=46175&page=7&pp=15&highlight=repository

The name of the material is Antique Bronze.

[Mindblade]

Okok...new try, hope you like my interpretation of the " ...last one to chose for team" Orc.

cheers

[Crimson King]

Nice to see you in the comp Pete mate, your dude looks great.

[MonteCristo]

Okok...new try, hope you like my interpretation of the " ...last one to chose for team" Orc.

cheers
Lol! He's the one that has to pick up all the guts at the end of the battle. :D Poor guy. :haha:

[Knut]

Welcome aboard BlackPete, awesome sculpt too!

Mindblade: I'd pick him first if it was a staring competition :)

[Topher]

Not finished but times up.. .waa waaa...

I'm having too much fun doing this stuff. Really forcing me to cut corners in regard to detail.

[Crimson King]

im loving this entry, it has a real human cross ork feel that makes it look very realistic .great work, shame you ran out of time i know how you feel there is so much i want to add to my entry's.

[NeoGeo]

hey i was wondering how do you get those small details in the neck i know alpha brushed but i always use that and it looks like crap do u use drag or dots freehand to paint with ??

[Topher]

Thanks for the reply's guys.

NeoGeo-I just use a random alpha (whatever works)... then the trick is goto the "ram" brush and use smooth(shift) while using the ram brush. It works like the sharpen filter in photoshop. I was in a rush and found it out by accident... the more you know.

Another orc. about an hour in. going for an orc-like Wanderlei Silva hehe =).

[kazmamurat]

hi all,

3 hours of funny work, results;

[Mindblade]

oh...i´am impressed...very impressive

cheers

[MonteCristo]

Welcome aboard bro. Looks like you joined a while back and then disappeared... You can't stay away forever, the draw is too strong. Really liking this entry a lot. Has alot of character to him in a Clint Eastwood styleee. The Orc With No Name. :)

[Marv]

some progress. got 20 mins left. Any suggestions what to refine further? Crits are more then welcome.

[Macku]

kazmamurat, Crimson King-Really great sculptures guys ! Love them!

Here is mine 2h and 47 min

[DaddyDoom]

This thread is producing Orcs at a faster speed then Mordor, Isengard and Moria all togheter :D Give them a week and there's a batallion. Give them a month and there'll be an entire nation of fowl creatures.
Never thought this section would boost this way. Spot on guys!
DD

[Hypnogiraffe]

Rather a noob at modeling but I thought I'd give it a try, 30 minutes and I got the base mesh to this point pretty happy with it so far.

[Topher]

kazmamurat Really like your entry. looks gr8 in your avatar.
Done with this one... 2 and something hours. A bit more stylized then my first but had a bit more fun doing it WOOOOHOHHHH (havn't slept in 2 day's... going crazy.)
Need to think of an interesting pose for the next one.

[kazmamurat]

topher, nice detail, nice expression, great work!

[funkdelic]

hahah really nice expression Macku, like " WTF is going on? "

[Hypnogiraffe]

Here we go at the 1 hour mark and I am happy with the basic shape so onward to the extreme detailing of ZBrush :haha:

[Emeth003]

Next one

[otas32]

I hate you Emeth! :D :o WOW!!!!!!!!!

I love the first one much more tho ;)

[funkdelic]

heh really cool emeth, I just think his mouth is way to open =P but I think it is a personal 'taste' for it

heres another one
2 hour and 40 minutes
its my fifth one, think Ill make 2 more and will be done
guys come on gimme some suggestion and critics, no problem to be harsh really, I prefer a good critic instead of no comments at all ;P

[omnicypher]

funkdelic: its looking good, if you want some critics here goes:
the eyebrows could be more furrowed, theres usually a diagonal crease pointing towards the nose when someones angry. the chin might be able to use a bit more definition. the scar across the lip looks ok, but usually scars stick out instead of sink in. the moles on the forehead look good, but their placement seems very uniform. the ears could use more detail on the inside, possibly based on an animal or human reference. if you took a large standard brush. you could make those eyes a little more round. maybe you could trim some of that excess skin behind the ears, and the neck could use some detail. great looking model, keep up the good sculpting!

thats the only problem with speed competitions, many people wont critique when someone posts finished work, even though comments definitly help for future attempts. i wish people would point out my artistic flaws more often, as it really speeds up the learning process.

[otas32]

Ok, officially my fourth model on Zbrush. My second speed model attempt :)
I'm happier with this one. :dance:

[Teyon]

Well, everyone else was doing hats...figure I may as well too (all one mesh by the way). 2 hours 57 minutes and really bad taste in skin. Now to go play a little Haze and Grid before I finish work.

[funkdelic]

omnicypher: thanks man! thats what I´m talking about hehhee, agree with everything you just said, also Ill try another one this night, shall correct all these flaws! thanks matoe

otas32: hahaha are uyou sure that it is an orc? :P really cool design man, the pig nose give it a power feeling, cngratulations on this one!

[guhhh]

Even crossing the time limit I've made in 3:30 hours. I'd like to show what I've done

[otas32]

omnicypher: thanks man! thats what I´m talking about hehhee, agree with everything you just said, also Ill try another one this night, shall correct all these flaws! thanks matoe

otas32: hahaha are uyou sure that it is an orc? :P really cool design man, the pig nose give it a power feeling, cngratulations on this one!

Thanx man :)

Precisely what I was going for. The "human" nose makes the face too common, and the corpse nose a lot of people here use works only with a thin character, so I needed something that would go more with the bulky look I was going for, and suddenly it occurred to me that a pig or a warthog where good references to steal features from :)

By the way, I really like your "smug" characters :D

[otas32]

I was just thinking this thread is a great reference catalog for many people, from people who just do this for fun (like me) to anyone in gaming and animation industries.
How Blizzard would have loved access to a concept design database like this one when they where coming up with the Warcraft original game :D

[omnicypher]

that would be an interesting way to run a game company, just post a 3d competition on a site like this, and buy the winners models for use in your game, then all you need is to find a forum that deals with programming, start a competition there for all the source code bits you need, and it might just be the cheapest way to develop a decent game... if you could find startup investors, a great game concept, and a publisher, you could get rich!

this is probably why blizzard has a fan art competition from time to time, the internet is a great place to outsource ideas from.

[omnicypher]

kazmamurat : how did you make those wrinkles around the eyes? what brushes did you use?

[bgen]

Teyon - love the sculpt u did there mate. - btw. ure first is my favorite or ure orcs.
Emeth003 - now that's one scary orc - u don't wanna meet him in the backalleys of downtown.

here is my newest one - i am learning so much in this competition. it's ace. enjoy
"The Duke of Orcs"

[neolith]

Emeth,that's really scary :D

[omnicypher]

it turns out it wasnt zbrushes fault that it was crashing when trying to export the quicktime format, it was the quicktime player. open quicktime and go to "edit>preferences>quicktime preferences>advanced" then switch the video option from "directx" to "safe mode". now you should be able to make turn tables and timelapse videos in zbrush without a problem!

[otas32]

Awesome info!! Thanx a lot omnicypher!

[Freespace-3DT]

Wow, 400 posts already. I'm gonna have to make another entry, cause what I've seen here puts my first one to shame. :)

[Teyon]

I know the feeling.

[Davee]

kazmamurat: I really love the skin work on your orc. There is a certain subtlety about it that really makes it feel authentic. I've found in my own work that it's really easy to get carried away with alphas and as a result I get this sort of "stamped" look, which is why I haven't used any alphas for skin detailing on my own entries. I don't know if you used alphas to achieve your look, but whatever your technique is it really sells the model. I also like the expression you gave him. Great job overall, possibly my favorite entry so far (that's a hard call with so many great entries!)

[Topher]

Some really great stuff all around.

otas32 - Really digging your idea for an orc. Good work!

Gonna try and get another one finished up today... due to my not sleeping last night I'm paying dearly for it today (no going out and drinking tonight... noooooo).

[ibrahim_gabr]

1 Hour 10 mins maybe for the rest of the time i will be working on teeth, and i might post another entry :dance:

[omnicypher]

[xmaster55]

WoW, You guys got some really kool stuff going on here..

[NeoGeo]

Thanks for the reply's guys.

NeoGeo-I just use a random alpha (whatever works)... then the trick is goto the "ram" brush and use smooth(shift) while using the ram brush. It works like the sharpen filter in photoshop. I was in a rush and found it out by accident... the more you know.

Another orc. about an hour in. going for an orc-like Wanderlei Silva hehe =).

cool thx for the tip :dance:

[biano3d]

HAIL!!! A lot of good ideas and modeling....very cool theme for the challenge...
My favorites entrys until now: Crimson King / kasmamurat / Topher , congratulations guys , realy cool stuffs,
If i have more time, i try another idea, my orc looks like a vampire :P

[pogimonz]

my fist sculpt clocked in at 3.5 hours.. I'm doing another one under 3 (hopefully)

1 hour into the second sculpt.

Otas 32: I like what you did w/ the mesh, very creative and nice transitions..

[Freespace-3DT]

Sweet sculpts, biano and pogimonz!

[Mindblade]

Until now nobody thought of a female Orc? Did start a new head yesterday just before I went home and got still one hour left. Any ideas how to improve this young and fierce orc-beauty?

greetz

Edit: I thought to give her hair, to make my point clearer....but that wont be easy while we are not allowed to use extra mesh...i will think of something..

[silvaticus]

I sort of finished the one that I have left at 2 hours a couple of days ago. 2 hours and 55 minutes so I pretty much ran out of time and some things were left unfinished. Or less finished than the rest of unfinished stuff.

[kazmamurat]

i m very happy about this challenge and entries, many great works done only for 3 hours.

davee; thanks for comment, i used standart, pinch, inflat, smooth and flatten tools, and at the end only a little noisy alpha for little skin details.

it looks like this without noise alpha.

[bgen]

here is the next one - hope u like it.

[freesupra]

spent another 30mins on this one didnt really know what else to do so about an hour and a half total maybe 1:45

great work everyone, this has been really been an explosion of crazy sculpting times .. its awesome sauce

[silvaticus]

Something strange is happening, my post and another one have vanished from page 28. To be more precise, I can`t see them if I browse the forum normally but if I go to my profile/ recent posts, it`s there.

Because it's plainly visible to me.

Thanks for the reply, it must be my browser then showing me even more oddities. Like my question and your reply are on page 29 but I can acces it only by typing the number in the box, the last in the row is 28.

[D@niel]

Awesome head you got going on there D@niel, and welcome to the forum is I haven't said it already :)

[Freespace-3DT]

Important

By the way, in case anyone hasn't noticed, there were some modifications to the rules of the competition, over the last couple of days. This is extremely important, regarding your FINAL ENTRY.

So take a minute of your time, and reread the first post here:

Hey back again. Heres my second Orc. I'm still learning sculpting technique as I go along.

[Davee]

davee; thanks for comment, i used standart, pinch, inflat, smooth and flatten tools, and at the end only a little noisy alpha for little skin details.

it looks like this without noise alpha.

kazmamurat: Thanks for the insight into your method and for posting the un-alpha'd version of your orc, very helpful! I'm definitely going to play around with using a noise alpha for the subtle skin details.

[funkdelic]

thats a really nice orc daniel! nice job

heres my 6th version... think Ill do another one only them Ill be done

[Freespace-3DT]

funkdelic, you're makin a whole army aren't you? :)

Here's my second orc. I'm thinking I'll go with this one.

[Macku]

Great job guys!

Here is begging of a new pice from me: little over 40 minutes. I wanted to create more classical one.

[Warin-3DT]

wow wow wow look at how this competition grows! amazing isn't it?! Even thought my sculpture skills = 0, but I'll keep an eyes on this! (I wish I could do some art!)

Byw> I've noticed some members haven't had awards yet...(besides Monte he got a lot;)) Please request to me here http://forums.3dtotal.com/awards.php very easy and fun!! I love giving awards to all of you!!!

Keep going guys, well done indeed
WG

[bgen]

Macku - this one look allready really ace. can't wait to see ure final one. it will be a blast.
funkdelic - woah ure on ure 6th as well. let take mine 9 and ure six and form an alliance to attack the other :DDD.
Warin - just try to skulpt - u will get good result - "just do it" as Nike would say.

btw. a tip from what helped me alot is when go into a higher subdivision level -
use the clay brush in default and modifyed a lot to build the face structures and muslces.
then i almost feels like working with real clay.

well he's out of this competition since i summited already my final one.

but anyway i am keep up practicing - and i decided to go for a retard orc.
it's hard to change style once u have aquired one from modelling if anybody got
tips to do so - he or she would have an open ear and heart , but anyways here my 9th Orc.

i hope guys like him - Waldy the Retard - dot on 2 hrs.

[funkdelic]

hah yeah man, orcs area really going to conquer this whole community :evil:

[Freespace-3DT]

It's gonna be 3dorktal.

[bgen]

we should start a campain again the orcs - Elf's or hobbits. :D
lol btw. 3dorktal - let's say 3dorctal :D

[otas32]

oh well, maybe his father was a demon and his mother an orckete... :D

otas32: damn this one really scared me and I know why :P, It just takes me back when I was a child and used to **** on my pants playing that hexen game for n64 =P

Hey guys, think this is the last one, really enjoyed this comp, amazing idea of the admins and for sure Ill be on the next one :lurve:

this one was a quick doodle, about 1 hr and 10 min.. but still I liked it..

oh, if possible, I would like to ask you guys to go to my sketchbook blog and take a look at all the 7 orc heads and give a opinion about wich one I should submit as the final entry.
http://rahmoraiis.blogspot.com/

cheers!

[MonteCristo]

Heres a second. Figured hats are in, might as well go the whole hog... or in this case, giant rat.

[AutopsySoldier]

holy **** monte! insane dude, I love it!

[MonteCristo]

Thanks dude. If only my computer was a bit more pokey, I might have been able to go up to 8 SubDs. Is everyone else getting only 7, or is it just me? :)

[biano3d]

Wow Monte Cristo....really Cool Man, Great Idea...

[funkdelic]

damn Monte, this one is really amazing! my fav so far! nice idea man =]
Not just you man hehe, I can only get to 6 =/

[omnicypher]

my fourth orc concept and each one i make is looking better than the last, so im not sure when i should stop. i guess ill keep going till time runs out :)
1 HOUR 30 MIN:

[Traiven3d]

Decided to join in on this one. I'm pretty fresh to Zbrush, really just tinkered with it so far, so i'm still learning the ropes. The rest of the submissions have been really inspiring.

This is about 50 minutes in. Still having issues with the teeth and gums object, not sure how to sculpt and manipulate them without dropping the main object.

[DaddyDoom]

31 pages of awesome productive entries in a week. That's gotta be historic...

[stroggtank]

Dude! all this looks great! May I come in?? ... this is my first try at sculpting from a base mesh instead of just detailing... 2:45... those ears are not that perfect... :S

http://www.zigrafus.com.mx/imgs/orc.jpg

greets! amazing works! congratulations!

[Astaroth]

Thanks dude. If only my computer was a bit more pokey, I might have been able to go up to 8 SubDs. Is everyone else getting only 7, or is it just me? :)

me too :\

btw really good works everyone, i have to find some time to try to sculpt another one XD

[DaddyDoom]

In specs terms, what does a computer need to reach up 8SubD and still manage to work?

[DeadlyFreeze]

At lvl 8 thats like 6.6million points your going either need to starting doing HD divisions via GeometryHD, or crank your MaxPolyPerMesh to like 10 (Preferences > mem). Unless you have 4gigs though it will probably just blow up on you.

I can get it on my 2gig machine but it isn't fun to work with.

[Emeth003]

and last one

[Sathe]

Hi guys,

Great work Aleks, like usual

here is my first wip, 90 minutes so far. Probably wont get time to refine it.

[DaddyDoom]

Tnx DeadlyFreeze!
I asked it out of curiosity. I'm still trying to figure the basics of ZBrush. I'm on a G5 2,5/ 4GB RAM Mac (no Intel), so I had to get a ZB2 demo, since the ZB3 only runs on Intel Macs.

These entries are going crazier everytime I step in here... Amazing...

DD

[D@niel]

This is obviosly not an entry for the comp, but i thaught i might as well show it, just a quick poly paint on my last orc skulpt for fun.

[PKT]

Ok, here is my sculpt. Sculpted in Mudbox for 1 hour. Not that I have a chanse against so many good people here so far, but it's the first challenge, so I though "what the hell, it's nice practice". I might finnish this later, if I got the time.

[JHarford]

Great work everyone,
I hope I finish on time, if i don't spend the first 2:50 trying to stop the teeth coming through the face.

[Crimson King]

Hi all

I had to have just one last go, i got a bit stuck on this one and wasted a lot of time, so I didn't manage to refine or put any small details in. i wanted to make something fun and the idea was to have him staring at a bug on his nose but i ran out of time and had to change it to a big spot.

I hope you all like him, this comp has been great fun and I'm looking forward to the next one. there have been some great entries at all levels and its nice to see so many approaches to the same thing. unlike a lot of other forums, 3d total seems to be a great place for people new to 3d to learn new skills and work flows without coming up against the usual elitist attitude i have seen on other sites . Great stuff and well done to the staff for coming up with this idea.

[Ties]

nice work everyone, i like this challenge. My 3rd orc

[Aleks]

Looks like I need to be here 24/7...So many entries it's just crazy! :)

Monte: Wow the last one is so cool! And really freaky :)

Sathe: Hey,man :) Great to see you again. Looks like you've been doing a lot of sculpting lately ;) Great stuff.

Crimson King: You are really good at this stuff,aren't you :) Love the last one.


Great work everyone! Right now I really feel sorry for not having my tablet with me :dunno:

[freesupra]

hahah very funny crimson king its great
the polypaint and render looks cool d@niel
lets see more more more :D

[ibrahim_gabr]

Wooooooooooooooooow this is amazing really great quality of work I am definetly going to do another head before the dead line here is the first finished head in 2 hours added teeth and some gear i hope you like it and i m open to suggestions

[Macku]

Crimson King: nice idea! Love the concept!

I've got 40 minutes left for final touches on this guy.Any suggestions?

[omnicypher]

crimson king: thats the very reason i stuck with threedy, i came here as a newb and everyone was all about helping each other learn, while at other sites, all the work in progress is split into different forums, so if your not already great, you probably wont get that many replys or help from others. ive looked into polycount and game artisans, but in the end, i still have a warm fuzzy feeling for threedy.

[neolith]

Another one from me,3 hours for this one,great entries so far! :) PS:Is it just me or is this competition awesome?:lurve:

[Teyon]

Great work everyone!

[JHarford]

crimson king,... lovely sculpt!, great work on all levels everyone. monte... I love it!

Tell me if i do something wrong on the forums
Heres my WIP

3 hrs

Here's my 3rd and probably final attempt. This is probably the one I'll use as my final entry too. Anyone who played classic EverQuest back in the day has probably seen a lot of this guy!

[Budello]

Crimson King: nice idea! Love the concept!

I've got 40 minutes left for final touches on this guy.Any suggestions?

Little adjustements on sternocleidomastoideus (the muscle that start under the ear), on the side views he looks like he's smiling, so I would fix the side of his mouth;then, put some pores and imperfections on the the skin and nothing more.
Really good sculpt, too! :D

well i can't leave the topic and Zbrush -
here it my 10th Orc.

2:55 mins (my thumb hurt - working with mouse - and I didn't want to go over the time limit).
