my own sculpt made in blender, then bakes and textured.
custom sub surface scatter shader.

Posing is with bones placed in anatomical position of facial muslces, facial movements work by bone scaling like muscle contraction.

Realistic angry head

1) A "Football Manager" game project:
(I hope it will be ready in the next 50 years...)

Uses XEffects for shadows, has particles effects for rain.
Objects are in ".obj" and ".x" format from 3D Studiomax (with panda plugin for ".x" export)

2) My "Nau Portuguesa", sort of "irrlicht test stuff" project:
(I´ll try to do a cool ambient, with shadows, trees, sunset, better water effect, etc... and upload it again here)

Uses fog, water, rain, terrain and a very simple animated skybox.
Objects are in ".obj" and ".x" format from 3D Studiomax (with panda plugin for ".x" export)
I would love to see this sea look like this one, from Blindside: http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... hp?t=24662
But had no source code

3) "IMP" - Irrlicht Media Player (NEW PROJECT)

EDIT: Moved to the right forum (Project Announcements), here: http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... 249#231249
All the info and the download link (has full source code) about this project is there.


MAIN INFO:
All objects were developed by me, exclusively for Irrlicht use (developed in a low poly base) no objects were retrieved from websites or other 3D Engines. As soon as they become decent, I´ll post the links here to download these objects and textures. Will be completly free for use in any kind of project, no restritions at all. The only exception is the terrain, was created using Irrlicht´s core terrain generator (automatic).

USED TOOLS/TUTORIALS:
Panda exporter: http://www.andytather.co.uk/Panda/directxmax.aspx
XEffects: http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... hp?t=30631
Petit guide d Irrlicht: http://www.siteduzero.com/tutoriel-3-56 ... licht.html
TIP: I´m using google translator on it, it looks like this way: http://translate.google.com/translate?j ... l=fr&tl=en
Fog: Based on "example 11" from Irrlicht source code (at "examples" folder)
Terrain: Based on "example 12" from Irrlicht source code (at "examples" folder)
Water (animated): Based on "example 8" from Irrlicht source code (at "examples" folder)

TODO:
Animate objects (This is killing me, due to ".x" export (or import?) issues, etc.)
Use transparent PNG (Included in the UVW Map, this is also killing me), some stuff in the ship should be transparent. Works ok with ".obj" but fails with ".x" files, wich I need to export the animations. Fails in Irrlicht, but works great in Panda3D engine. (Tried with exactly same 3D objects and same PNG texture images)... But could be my fault since I´m a Irrlicht newbie...

This one comes with source code though, it's a little different though:

Nice specular mapping Omar!

[stefbuet]

I would say nice sub surface scattering but too much specular on the hairs until he's using hair gel

[omaremad]

Here is an image with reduced specular and better scatter

[Ravi08]

I am lovin that BlindSide and jorgerosa if you need any testers for your football manager you know where to find me

[Lonesome Ducky]

That skin looks great, but the hair bothers me. It almost looks like it's made of metal

Hello Blindside, thankyou for your answer and thankyou for the similar solution that you provided. However... you can share your "water" code?
Even older, or messy code, for me is the most nice effect i´ve ever see using Irrlicht. I would be glad to try it. In fact... It´s just what I´m looking for.
IF its possible, of course. If not, for any reason, no problem, I´ll keep trying other scripts. THANKYOU for your awesome work!
Your old water effect post --> http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... hp?t=24662

Note: I´ve added more projects screenshots in the above (old) post, and launched a project idea, I would be glad if you could also help there. Thankyou.

@Jorgerosa & @Omaremad
There is only one image per project allowed. I tried to clarify the rules a bit instead referring to the usual rules. Could you reduce them? I don't know which you want to use
Any other images could be placed in the project forum or for example render thread

[jorgerosa]

There is only one image per project allowed.

Sure, np. I´ve removed 2nd image from IMP project.
There is now 1 image per project. If anything still wrong (I´m not sure if i get your idea) please feel free to edit my posts. Thankyou.
(Sorry about my english)

[Strong99]

No its ok Thank you

[omaremad]

The on off image should be fine
