I just made this for a good friend's birthday. I only put a couple hours into it and it's not very serious but I'll post it anyway because it makes me laugh.

That's the best Bumblehorse I've ever seen! D=

okay BITCHES time for an ART UPDATE

ive been working hard on lots and lots of different things, and i will show you guys them as i finish them
for now, here is a completed ELECTRONIC DISTRIBUTION UNIT

[Shadyone]

Wow good job dude it almost looks real too!

That is really awesome Ember, you've got a fairly good grasp on texturing. The only thing that seems off is the white text on the left side. It looks out of place and actually looks typed in. With the resolution it can be hard to get that right, so it's understandable. I'm thinking a bit of noise to the text will help it.

[Ember]

Thanks, and yeah I agree with you. I'll be sure to fix that up.

Alright well I wanted to try out Z-Brush.. so I did. I made some stone blocks and fashioned them into an archway.

On the left we have the low poly blocks, which look like balls warmed over. On the right is the stones with the normal map I got from baking the high poly zbrush sculpts onto the low poly blocks using xNormals, using the ambient occlusion as the diffuse.

In other words THE OTHER BLOCKS ARE JUST AS LOW-POLY YET RETAIN THE DETAIL OF THE HIGH POLY BLOCKS BECAUSE SCIENCE

Ps these are just screenshots from maya (ie not good quality) because my marmoset trial ran out and I should probably just buy it since its only $50

edit;

here, textured properly and more structurally logical;

I'll upload a marmoset render tomorrow because I can use it at tafe.

GOOD JOB BRO THAT IS GREAT

[Resource Dragon]

What program are you using, to get such realistic effects?

[Shadyone]

He said Maya and something called Marmoset, they look great Ember

[Ember]

Maya, Z-Brush, Photoshop and then Marmoset, Prelude
For the archway anyway.

Usually it's the same except for zbrush.

What are these confusing programs you speak of?

[Resource Dragon]

i dont know, either. it's hard to read the screen when your holding the comp upside-down.

The Archway looks awesome and also the futuristic locker and the Bin both look awesome. Are you creating a 3d game or just doing them for lulz fun?

Oh I see now. How long did it take you to get this good?

[Ember]

I started learning at the beginning of 2010 but I've been using photoshop since like 2004 and it was pretty handy to have that as a backbone for texturing.
