Beard3d Bandit's High Poly Thread

Beard3D Bandit

Hay guy's, from now until xmas, I've decided to try my hand at High Poly/Hard surface modelling.

As a test run, I decided to model a Vacuum Cleaner! For the design, I used image references from a Digital Tutors tutorial on Hark Surface modelling.

Any advice would be awesome.

Modeled in Modo, with basic materials. I don't really know how to render wireframes so I'll provide wires if you need them











Thanks guys,
Peace,

Well I know for a fact this is the same model offered on the Digital Tutors MODO hard surface modeling tutorial. I think that is relevant to mention.

@cgBrad - It is indeed! I bought a months pass.

I'll update my post, thanks!

I don't think it would be wise to put pieces created by following a step by step tutorials on portfolio. If you just used the reference images and modeled it yourself, then it's a different story. Just my opinion.

Yeah I agree, this is the second attempt, the first one following his methods of creating the parts I would find difficult, but I already had image references so the second run through, I didn't look back at the tutorial and just used the references.

Building upon that, I checked out this guy: https://www.youtube.com/user/stammpe2

Some of his videos assisted with other problems I had such as edge pinching etc.

Working on my next hard Surface test. It's a Fallout 3 - Pulowski Preservation Shelter

Can't wait to finish it, but I want to take my time with it, before I begin using High Poly hard Surfaced models within my work flow to create some nice sci-fi game assets.

Started Last night, got the scale just right, if it looks cramped, well, bare in mind the preservation shelter is a result of those taking advantage of 'times'. A shelter to provide false hope to those who couldn't afford a reservation in the Vaults.

Here's a few quick renders so far.

So, I am currently trying to maintain proportion and scale, so I thought I should begin the extraction fan before I add any more detail to the main body of the shelter.

Here are a few renders with me exploring a little with color and sizing the extraction fan/extraction machine.

Almost done! Just got to do some of the finer details, and this high poly should be done. I'm debating whether I should detail the inside.
