The 3D adventures of Ediarts

Ediarts

Hi guys! my name is Eddie Hernandez, I decided to make this thread to post all my progress of learning 3D and as a way to push myself to keep working and learn every day.

Feel free to give me Critiques & Advices! that would be awesome

Here are some of my past 2D work.











I want to learn to use MODO because I heard that it would help me for my concept art stuff. I have a little experience with maya but I'm really attracted to modo right now. I saw some tutorials from Lynda and Digital tutors and this will my first Try to create something in Modo by myself

This is what I want to Model :poly122:
It's Weapon design from EXTEEL the fast paced 3D sci-fi MMO shooter, I dont know who the artist is, I'm sorry



Also My English is not perfect, sorry for my mistakes

This is what I have so far



and I started working on this things



It's hard to see how something are connected sometimes.

Good work so far, but if you want to learn 3D , don't waste your time with (poor) sci-fi concepts.
Model real things, they look better, require more skills, have realreferences, are more relatable, don't carry over weaknesses of other artists, and you don't have to throw them away in a year when you realize they were terrible

Thanks for your advice men! Before I decided to model this weapon, I was looking around real stuff but What I liked about this design is that I see a little room for Interpretation. But yeah men, you are totally right, it makes sense to focus on real things and learn from them...

I think that the design is awesome anyway and that's why I'm attracted to it.
Regards,

Ediarts

Update





I hate that some of the edges that I had to add destroy the roundness of the cylinder... I'm sure that there must be a better way to do it.
