Help! I need a beginners model

Rick Stirling

I've started writing a modelling tutorial that I've been threatening to write for ages. It concerns the model than many beginners make where the model looks like its constructed out of primitives, with most of the polies making perfect squares.

My problem is that I need an example, and the bloody newbies have been posting higher quality models. I tried to build one, but couldn't

So, if anyone has links to one, I'd love to see it - I'll rebuild it of course, I wouldn't use someones image directly.

You're talking about me arent you?

I can offer my first model:

Thermidor

just goto my site , theres lots of examples there.

These may not be made of primatives, but they're kind of examples of moving verts around but not knowing what the hell you're doing.

sorry folks, these are too good I need a particular style that only beginners seem to have.

I think there may be an image of one on my hard disk at work.

Oh snap! I tried to make a Quake model back in the day called Necronaut, I was using the Quakeguy model for inspiration so his head is a big rectangle and it goes downhill from there.... I hope I can find it.

Unfortunately I've had to format my computer several times over the past few years, one of my first models would have been perfect, it was completely made out of modified primitives. Heh, all but one of the models I've made in milkshape have been lost.

Heres my first few models that i actually did without a tutorial guiding me.

I can re-render any of these how ever you'd like

I don't think its really what you're looking for but it is several character based almost solely on slightly warped primitives. I did used to have a render of a big stompy robot made out of completely unaltered primitives, but it seems to have disappeared some time over the last decade or so.

Created in the days before Lightwave had any sort of sensical UV Mapping. I never did learn how to texture with it properly. The composition is kinda funky though.
