First Model

ultra · Mar 2005

hi everyone. Im a fan of polycount boards and the great art of polycount users.
Im really new at modeling but im ready to show my first character(3DSTUDIOMAX6).
The objective is create, modeling, texturing and animate a character for UT(99).
So my model has to be really lowpoly, 1042 polys to be exact. UT engine supports fine models with maximum of 1500 polys but its necessary to pay atention to the animation frame rate. So here is what i have so far.

PS. Big THANKS to Poopinmymouth for his fantastic videos tutorials, thats where i learn, thx m8!
Now, its Rig Time!

really good for a first model.

That's really good, I like it.

I dunno if you wanted a stylised look (in its proportions), but it's got one - which I love.

legs look like they are to short and lacking mass. A backwards 73 and unreal icon?

I am too ashamed to show my first model, certainly didn't have the level of detail yours has.

Nicely done.

the 73 backwards is the b213, reversed in the mirroring.. the unreal icon.. meh i'd just remove it..

I'd also make the tattoo a dragon and remove the lettering so it doesn't mirror incorrectly.

Good stuff tho

Wendy de Boer · Mar 2005

Awesome model, especially for a first! It's a lot better than my first attempt, LOL.

I just love the cartoony style!

Oh yeah, well the governor of my state was also in The Predator, but he actually lived through it and he kicked the Predator's ASS.

The model looks good, especially for a first model (have you had any previous experience with any 3D software?). I don't really have any crits other than what's already been mentioned.

Surgey · Apr 2005

If I remember correctly, over half the characters in Predator were in political offices. Well, main characters, anyways.

On-topic, good for a first model.

thx u all,

very nice. My models don't look this good! I do think his head is a little skinny though. But it looks good in the game shots. I just think it should be a bit shorter from top to bottom and thicker from ear to ear. I don't know, his vest looks great. keep it up

Daz · May 2005

Very solid work indeed for a first model! Yeah his head is either too tall or two narrow. One of the two!

vahl · May 2005

Very good first model !!

I'm with Daz, though, the head may be a bit too tall

ultra · May 2005

thx for your support!
Cheers!
