Title: Personal work, Illustrations and designs.
Post by: Darkki on 2016-10-16, 20:02:39
Hi everyone, finally I managed to post here. Such a super high quality stuff what you guys keep pulling out, I'm constantly impressed! I think I differ from the mass a little bit because I'm not using corona for architecture visualizations.
Most of my renders also involve a heavy compositing and photoshoping, but there's still plenty of corona magic behind it.

Cheers!

Damn, that's some amazing stuff there. I really like the surrealistic illustration style. It's like a really nice handwriting.

I kind of appreciate how clean it is at same time. But maybe bit of filmic magic (slight grain, some crush/lift tiny bit) would improve it further :- ) [stuff that never suits archviz yet it is overdone there, but here it's calling for it]

Crazy shaders on that one! Well-done!
I love the grizzly arctic mech :)

I call this one finished. It was fun practice and managed to develop my procedural shaders a bit further.
Also I tried streamline my workflow.
Title: Re: Personal work, Illustrations and designs.
Post by: Ludvik Koutny on 2016-10-21, 00:26:45
Damn, this one is truly amazing. Is it all procedurally shaded? Or are some of the textures hand painted?

Also, I am wondering, what kind of modeling toolset do you use? Is it all just poly modeling in Max, or...? :)
Title: Re: Personal work, Illustrations and designs.
Post by: melviso on 2016-10-21, 01:41:24
Great work. Love the texturing on these. Do you write your own shaders for 3dsmax?
Title: Re: Personal work, Illustrations and designs.
Post by: Darkki on 2016-10-22, 16:11:06
Thanks everyone.

Rawalanche: All procedurals mostly, I rarely handpaint anything if there are tons of complex objects.
Image attached is my super basic material setup where everything usually starts. There's basematerial and material for edges and cavities. Basematerial is usually blend-material of somesort, with different masks applied.
I Model everything 3dsmax with usually just raw polymodeling. Lately I have been using more and more booleans also.

Melvisio: I wish I was smart enough to write my own shaders but I struggle even with really basic maxscript :D
Title: Re: Personal work, Illustrations and designs.

@Darkki

Haha.. I tried looking into learning python but time isn't there for that. I have a lot of respect for coders, programmers, and software developers. How they can write stuff for us to use is really mind blowing. We all dream of features we want added to software we use and they make it happen by using numbers/maths thingy. Look at VR right now, are we sure these devs aren't secretly talking with aliens or something. :0

I will try at some point to learn python, or mel scripting. Not giving up on it :)

Ah, yes. I use the very similar workflow for years, so I guess I was kind of looking for reassurance that I am on a right path :) Only difference is that I usually try to do most on the map level, instead of material level, meaning that I usually try to map different properties on single material, to avoid material blending, which has some performance hit (but it should not be that big).

As for modeling, if you do all in Max, without any sculpting or CAD style workflow, then that makes it even more badass :)

Hi all, long time no post.
Finally tested out corona triplanar and damn I like it. Speeds up my messy process so much!
Procedural shading and not a single unwrapped piece.

Hi again.
Latest piece with plenty of corona behind it. Involves also tons of overpainting.

Couple of years ago I did a small tutorial for modeling and rendering. There's a small timelapse.
Playing around with corona shaders start around 8min mark.
Cheers everyone!

Hi folks. Lates personal pieces.
All with bunch of corona magic behind. Mostly triplanar mapped surfaces and heavy use of volume materials. My overall goal was to work with 3 images simultaneously just for sake of speeding things up.

Would be insanely great to see a making of ! And some wireframes, I don't know why but I love those, especially on high poly scenes like these !

Are these with volume in a box or global?
Title: Re: Personal work, Illustrations and designs.
Post by: totinguis on 2018-04-02, 20:29:32
This is incredibly awesome stuff man, congratulations!, I am curious about your pipeline. Do you model in max, use zbrush? maya, a mix? Thanks and keep posting.
Title: Re: Personal work, Illustrations and designs.
Post by: Darkki on 2018-04-03, 15:12:41
Thanks everyone!

Nehale: Everything is global volume. Is there actually any difference between using global or using box. Obviously you can refine the area better with geometry but other than that?

totinguis: Hey Thanks! My pipeline is mostry 3dsmax, zbrush and moi3d combined. Usually scenes are put together in 3dsmax and most of the stuff is modeled there also. All the bit more complicated pieces are usually from moi3d and zbrush.

Hi all again.

https://www.artstation.com/artwork/v1rGGA

Finished larger personal project this time. Did a re-desing of axelay, a really great videogame from snes era what I used to play a lot when I was a kid.
Everything rendered with corona ofc.

Tons of images at artstation, wont spam them all here, but couple of examples.

Full procedural materials as always. Triplanar mapping and other dirty tricks.

Thanks everyone! :)

Romullus: Thanks, I really want to do more substance painter stuff myself but corona procedurals works quite well in my own artstyle. What I really, really need is a good curvature map for corona, would help quite a lot.

Maru: yeah, you bet, perfect tools for just to let the shaders do all the work :D

Continuing the mech series, new stuff:
