A PBR experiment using the Direct 3D viewport of trueSpace, and my developed shader. Maybe later on in life I will try to make it more automatic to get some interesting roughness and glossiness settings. It’s pretty snappy as the roughness is calculated using a secondary normal map tiled to the hundretch to simulate microtextures on molecular structures.

I made these little illustrations to help my girl with one of her assingments. Made and rendered in trueSpace, a realtime DirectX 9 GPU engine. The engine is starting to look dated, no realtime reflections or SSAO, or Voxel based GI, or realtime DOF or lens flares. I would have to add those things in post through this system. Thus, I am starting to investigate into some other game engines - like Unreal or Cryengine, now both free. One more free than the other, but still quite very much both free. The tricky part is exporting animation, rigs, morphs, geometry cacheing. I really do need to look into that. But for modeling and previsualization sake, this software is a charm. This project only took 6 hours to do. I could export it as it is as a realtime asset in Sketchfab.
Important Day
I have some extra machines to work with and to train people to work with me on. Exciting times!
Played around a bit with free software and got this, working in realtime - Mach Studio Pro 2 (free), Bryce (free sometimes, very cheap - I own it) for the terrain and textures - a free sample of an HDR sky, and Softimage (or XSI Mod Tool - free) to help with the export to Mach Studio Pro. Not entirely free, but EOL. I’ve been spending too much time on Facebook, so have decided to not use it every other day and instead use that time to do experiments, work on developing my skills, and doing some interesting stuff. Also, develop my own style. I love DOF, and I’m learning to do some fun lighting things. Hope you enjoy this quick little experiment!
(Oh, and yes, the terrain appears to be facited. I don’t know how Mach Studio Pro calculates Normals, but it seems to me that it doesnt very well if at all - being based completely on lights depth bias).
This is complimentary and thanks to Marco Capellazzi.
He left them for free, so I threw them into truespace. Tested RGB depth based post DOF techniques (blenders so far is the coolest). I also tested fake GI using world normals I made from trueSpace.
Here is the modified wing, with new textures. Some textures might need some titivating, but it’s getting there.
Final Wing.
Changed the colors, looking better!
Clients wanted Cyan, Magenta and Yellow.. So here is the update.
I tried to randomize it, according to a reference picture they sent me.
Tested out rigging in trueSpace, and then animation. The rigs are very much like puppets, in real life, and can be hard to control without the right kind of IK handles and anchors. I'm still finetuning it.
The animation is also not quite as straight forward as one would expect. Things aren't set in like most typical rigging applications, as things wobble and are kind of.. flexible.
This animation is just a proof of concept, I need to study wing flaps a bit better and see how I can make it look good from a front facing camera. I also need to study the loops a bit better....
I dug through my archives (cause I had done a feather wing, or a couple of them in trueSpace 6.6 - I had the software baught when I was 17 years old! So.. yeah) and I found my old wings I made. Even the textures. Fortunately I had them burned to disc.. cause harddrives die and I would have lost all that info. I probably should get a blueray burner and burn to physical. It's so easy to trust the electromagnets, but.. at the same time nothing like burnt holes in plastic to last you a decade or two! So.. Here is my wing from the year 2006. Now, to modify it, make it unique, and update the textures and things, rig *ahem*. Can't believe I did this in TS6.6!
Last wing modeled, wahoo! Now to just model details on the first wing, and modify the second, and.. texture and UV (a little) and RIG.. Rig rig rig.. the big scary part. I have to do a quick animatic of these though by Friday, according to the cheap contract I got to do them. I love developing trueSpace.. oddly it's kinda fun. And.. it's fun making things in it. I just hope the rigging weights don't bite me in the butt. I need to think of a good workflow.

Some speed modeling, with… baked cloth and vertex modification for the wings cloth. I’m kinda wracking my head wondering how on earth I’m going to rig this, but we’ll see….. I might have to modify it a little to do what I want it to do.
I used Clinton’s Bake Cloth script for that.
Work for the morning. now.. to work on the other deadline a bit, and have a shower and lunch.. Good progress for the day so far.

I highly recommend this software. It’s free, and extremely useful. It floats over your desktop or any software you use, you can make it transparent, transparent to mouse (so you don’t click on it), resize, rotate, organize and import any image you would need as a reference. I use it a lot to trace over my software, or as references to guide modeling or shading. It’s extremely handy. AND FREE. Or, support it and buy it at your own price! (love that business model) It’s also very customizable, you can save your reference files, it autosaves them also, and well.. I have managed to hold up my 16 mega pixel images well enough on my dual core. Very fast, and... well... GET IT.

Finished modeling this, ready for animation.
The black shaders are killing me, it’s hard to get form and to light them up beautifully!!!
