Three Armed Sloth

jeebs

Hello everyone,

Doing this work for my portfolio, studying sci-fi, and wanted to improve modelling and texturing skills. I picked up a work from cghub (unfortunately have no imagination for sci-fi) asked for permission from the artist and just started modeling. For more of his awesome works >> http://trevor.cghub.com/. Any crits would be very helpful!

I thought about how I would do this. I decided to devide this model into to pieces and create each of them separately. So for now I'm just did this sci-fi minigun, at least it look like a gun to me. I already finished texturing, so I'll move on to the other parts. hope to hear some crits, I might still improove it later.

update:

Croftyness

It's really true to the concept. Nice work.

Aahh, beat me to the punch XD
Already looking really sweet!!

sziada

I am liking this already

Di$array

You've already won me over with that small section of the design. Keep at it as this will be a beast of a portfolio piece.

Low

Yes yes yes!

Drooling on modelling and concept both.

Can we see the Spec and Gloss maps for the chain gun section? I'd be interested to see what your process was to make those realistic material definitions.

It's looking great already, but the only thing that sets me off is the texture distortion at the beginning of the cylinder. It look obviously wavy which continues even to the lower part of the metal plate, whereas the rest of the texture looks completely fine.

Also the moir

Really like those materials, looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

jeebs

Thank you all for your comments! glad you like it so far

mkZ3R0 thanks for the advise, I'll have to fix those waves later. And glad you noticed the bullet repetitiveness I did this to save some space for texture, but if this is noticable then I guess I'll have to make swaps, rotates, and mirrors.

JadeEyePanda yeah I'll upload texture maps bellow.



The Minigun was done almost a month ago, and recently I have finished another part of the model:

Kbrom12

this gonna be good

jeebs

thank you both! it was rendered in marmoset toolbag

Illusive

holy shit man! that already looks nuts, can't wait to see the end product

Shiv

Awesome work!

I think you are losing a bit of the power the blade in the concept gives off with the teeth as yours are thinner and seem to be more uniform between in and out.
Might be worth extending the blade slightly and extending the teeth width a little bit down the blade to get that back!

Really cool stuff, love the blobby elbow area

spiderDude

Killin' it jeebs!!
Can't wait to see it all :thumbup:

It's a fair trick to save UV space, jeebs, but as long as it is this visible you're not taking full advantage of it.

This is going to be a great portfolio piece nevertheless. I'm already jealous ^^

mkZ3R0

Are you still working on this piece or are you done jeebs?

robochrish

This is fantastic!
I'm really looking forward to the finished piece!
Do you have any updates on it?
