Unity Community Art Challenge - April 2015 - Chest Of Wonders

Great new stuff guys!

@dreamhead Nice toon style man, I liked the silhouette.
@shaderbytes Beautiful golden piece!
@Mentallic3D It is a interesting idea, if you use two different light in the scene would be nice, like a blue light in the bottom. but the objects need to receive the blue light.

 

@Mentallic3D Thanks! Fixed the glow effect. Now the bottoms shouldn't be visible from outside. .

 

Woow! so many cool entries now, congratulations everyone! =]

More updates! running against the time but I think I'm near to the end now... just gotta finish the bottles and the ground...

 

@Rafmorais looks very nice love the chest ,but i think maby you can add a metal texuer on that symbole on the chest so i pops a bit more

 

Hello all,

This my take on the challenge for this month. What you see here is the sculpt for the chest concept.
I'll be looking forward for your feedback!

 

Here is my first WIP. I really want to practice my anatomy skills so what better way to practice than in a comp.Entering slightly late but hopefully I can get it done in time. Working on the chest next

 

Hi everyone,

I finish mine. These are the static images, I will post in my artstation and deviantart. I would like to have more time to work on it, but its ok.... Well I hope you guys like it!

For the sketchfab version, I'm working on it, try to get same quality there.

 

@Antonio Neves very nice job love it and great texuer work

Sorry the messy!

 

@Mentallic3D Flipping to specific views is possible with the Viewer API, but not natively on the viewer itself: https://sketchfab.com/developers/viewer/compare

Nice work everyone. Don't forget your UCAC8 tags!

 

First time doing 3D and using blender?.. and you only have two days left .. good luck

 

IMPORTANT QUESTION: What exact time is the end of the competition? Taking into account that we are all in varying time zones. Thank you!

 

Amazing entry Antonio!

I was trying to figure out how the alpha maps works within sketchfab.

UCAC8- Chest by Rafael Morais on Sketchfab

 

@Rafmorais I got transparent working by saving as a transparent background png file and putting that file in both the diffuse and alpha channel slots. Let me know if you have issues I can show you in more detail tonight. Cheers!

 

Thank you very much, i'll try it right away =]

 

i got the textuering done now i wil start on the environment

Here's my official WIP:

Regarding the alphas and opacity
I've tried the suggestions above, but I think that I'm still doing something terrible wrong... =[
any other tips here? I'll try again later tonight...
in the meantime, what do you guys think?

 

Thanks everyone who liked my job! Also cogrets for the new ones!

@Rafmorais

There is no secret to use the alpha maps in sketchfab. Once you have the .png file, you need to load it in diffuse channel (for the diffuse map / color map), and than load it in transparency channel (for the real transparency / alpha), and done! That is what I did here, worked fine!

 

@Rafmorais The alpha thing worked for me, although, I did not like the final result! I will try to improve!

 

I managed to finish my entry (minus the prospector character) before the deadline! Woo!
Let me know what you think.

Edit: Forgot to mention. The vert count is 5.619k. The automaton texture is 4k as well as the ground texture. I was going to resize the other texture maps (Spec, emmisive, etc) so it was smaller but I didn't get around to it.

 

Took my idea for the Unity coins Great job!

 

Really nice Job Yensoo, the pose and the "expression" are truly well done, congratualations.
Antonio, thx for the tips, I'll try it in a few hours.

 

@Antonio Neves So cool! Love the idea/modeling/texturing and all! Nicely done! Make sure you tag your final entry according to the rules!

@Yensoo Very nice idea and work there as well! Thanks for joining in on the fun!

@Rafmorais I am happy to see that you made it in time! Was a bit worried there Looks great!!!


Everybody else, come on... there are a few days left yet! Also, a warm welcome to all the new guys here with their entries - hurry up everybody as the deadline is looming!

 

here is it my Steampunk Chest

just some lowpoly screenshot for now High poly version still in progress

gonna work hard on this XD

 

Here is the 2d concept.

 

@TheUsername - That's a very cool concept right there. Bring it on!

 

High Chest done chains are just a placeholder for now not sure if they will stay.On to retopo and textures!

 

Woah, nice work @Antonio Neves , really solid concept and execution. I've currently got my pod in Substance Painter, hopefully have an update soon.

 

Great new entries guys!

@Thomas Pasieka Thanks for liking! Is everything ok!
@Storm_The_Gates Thanks man! Looks promising your chest!

 

@Rafmorais Hi man, just to make sure you know that, you need to add "UCAC8" in your tags, instead of the name!

 

@Antonio Neves yeah thanks man, actually I havent finished it yet, gonna re do a few things. Thanks for the heads up tho.

 

Had a pretty rubbish day, so not going to get my entry finished in time sadly. Best of luck to everyone!

 

Done so now we play the waiting game haha ,Best of luck to everyone!

 

24 hrs challenge

lets see what we can do!!!
very rusty cant remember the last time i done or completed any 3d art
plus i waited to the end to join because i resisted and prioritized my game dev work
over this challenge but i could not help to add a thing or two so here we go my 24hrs challenge
still a mountain to climb hopefully i get this one done in time since i have a lot of it.

here is my first wip
going for a dark magical chest for my concept
good luck to everyone taking part

 

Hey guys, I am afraid I won't be able to finish my entry in time Good luck to everyone!

Here is what I have so far:

 

28 hours left!

I've been blown away by the creativity on display watching you guys make these. Even if you've hit the finish line, you've still got a bit of time to polish, fuss about the little details. Do you like the default camera pose for your sketchfab embed? Is your lighting the best it can be? Make sure to catch any last minute derps (I know they can be hard to spot when you've been staring at a piece for a long time).

Anywho, awesome work, and keep on truckin' guys!

 

Again, make sure to TAG your entries with "UCAC8"! You won't be considered as a finalist if you haven't tagged your entry. So tag it, and check this link to see if your entry shows up:

Baked my maps to the low poly need to clean up a little then on to texturing

 

And, its done! What do you all think? Thank you to all who participated!

https://skfb.ly/DI8S

 

Looking at some of your entries. How is it even possible to have more faces than vertices?

 

Well thats it, I'm calling this one done!
Thanks a LOT everyone for the help and the nice comments and critics! it was a really nice competition!
Now, I need some real beer!
Good luck to all!
@BitMatrix
Amazing idea man! really liked it, too bad that the deadline is in a few hours =[

@dreamhead hey man, it was a long month and I've been following your progress on this entire comp, congratz on finishing yours =]

@TheUsername what! amazing piece of concept!

@Thomas Pasieka thanks for the support man! =]

@Antonio Neves thanks for the tips on the alpha usage, I think that I have it all figured out haha

@Mentallic3D really liked those unity coins, nice touch!

Edit- Myself and the tech issues! hahahah, the lights are "off" but they were ON!

It looks right inside the editor, but looks wrong on the embed sketchfab aswell as on my profile page.... I'm too tired to search for a solution right now, since I've got a few more hours, I'll try something tomorrow.

 

Hey everyone!

I love seeing all of the amazing stuff coming out of this comp!

Making some progress tonight after some computer hardware issues . . .



Making "wonderous" things for my chest tonight

 

Lol. Yeah.... I was way too optimistic. Apparently I did something wrong, cause when I uploaded it to SketchFab it said it had some issues with normal maps. I guess I still have a LOT to learn. But it was fun to try. I've started over to see where I went wrong. There's no way I can finish it now, but this did get me started on this particular item and I AM going to finish it, no matter what Just have to learn the specifics of Blender. It's a fun challenge!


@Rafmorais @Antonio Neves I think both your chests are awesome. They are absolutely my favorites! I like the other works as well

Good luck to everyone who wants to finish the work today!

 

Good to see that the last-minute tradition of the UCAC is alive and well

You've got to be a brave person to start an entry 2 days before the deadline!

Edit: Now that I have 1337 posts, I'm tempted to never post again...

 

Lol well, for me personally, I started the background research and the sketch the day after the challenge was posted. I've also searched for materials, textures and such. Maybe I shouldn't have taken so much time for that

The actual chest seemed so easy... and then it wasn't. But it's fun to figure out where I went wrong. I have an idea, so I'm doing it in small steps now, to see what is actually wrong

 

My final work.
Thanks for chellenge.
