release the bugs!

BoBo_the_seal · Jan 2008

New year - new theme! Just like the "release the heads!" thread post your bug SDK's and texture the SDK's of others.

The head thread was very successful because they stayed fairly simple and the textures are fast to make. Please keep that in mind and try not to go over 1,000 polys.

I'll do my best to keep this first post updated.

so here we go

Damn, sama.van, that looks like Shotgun...which is a good thing.

BoBo_the_seal · Jan 2008

that kicks ass! Very nice work.

flaagan · Jan 2008

Ooooh, I like the idea of this one, BoBo!

I think I'll have to dig this guy outta my old files, clean it up, and post it up here.

sama.van · Jan 2008

I tried to do something on the wasp, but Uvs make me crazy

...
So I did my best... and some difficults to find an idea too...

And funny thing, because I didn't finish this model...

Oh shit.. no more bugs to do... what hell I get to do now...

pior · Jan 2008

Bobo great idea! I'll try to contribute some s soon.

Sama I really like the direction you are taking with your stuff, it's fresh! My only crit would be that some of you darker tones get kindof lost in depth if you see what I mean. But if you are going for an abstract approach I'd say, why not!

i think its better to release animals instead of just bugs...

Irritant · Jan 2008

arrangemonk · Jan 2008

worm

sama.van · Jan 2008

please symetry

and...

And don't cut Uvs on top please -__- ...

Aldo · Jan 2008

Are we allowed to change or add to geometry?

sama.van · Jan 2008

I'm not sure... there is something like "respect of work"... But I already moved Uvs... one or two vertex when I needed...

Bobo is the arbitror... then...

nacire · Jan 2008

Here is my bug! A luna moth, enjoy!

* I edited this link with an updated SDK. Some of the normals were reversed on the original so I sorted that out.

LunaMothSDK

Steve Schulze · Jan 2008

I can't see why the UVs on the caterpillar would be a problem. The back UVs would allow for some asymetric detail running down the middle.

Nice moth, Nacire. I might have a shot at texturing him.

arrangemonk · Jan 2008

i redid the uvs and made a crappy test, if they're handy enough, and i think they're good now, man, thats embarrassing

Saidin311 · Jan 2008

Ok, so I've so rarely done organic objects. These bugs seemed like something I could tackle. Here's a dragonfly. I hope the format is all ok.

I haven't textured him yet cause I'm not too good with these organic things. Gimme rocks and bricks instead haha.

What about statues? old trees? Organic alien structures? It's good to practice everything, environment art is a broad field.

Cool thread bobo, i'll try and contribute soon.

Aldo · Jan 2008

Not sure if I'm supposed to post the obj and psd...If I need to...I will, just let me know. Here's my bug:

sama.van · Jan 2008

Aldo : yes new challenger! and nice heavy colors!
About *.obj why not, if you change position of some Uvs... and *.psd file, I think it can be interesting, people can see how you work... Personnaly I like share that, and I'd like to have some critics about my workflow (sauf Pior le m

Helixx · Jan 2008

Hey sama.van amazing work on these bugs. Makes me want to make one just to see how you'd texture it. Thanks also for posting the psd files, great way for us, not-so-good-at-painting-at-256x256 guys to learn. Keep it up.

Cheers
