pimp your oldest stuff

CrazyButcher

hey wondered if any of you have an archive with old work, (probably a similar thread pops up every once in a while, at least I remember a thread on old 3ds studio here)

just digged up some old stuff and showed dejawolf a couple of my '97 3d studio dos r2 animations, the only work that survived a hdd crash, and cd writers weren't mainstream

a typhoon submarine hidden in a cave with some terrorists stealing the nukes (the weird red at the second flic served as nightvision )

star wars... thanks to the massive model library on the web and a friend with internet. the camera turns away at the end, as I couldnt manage to find the hangar in the giant wireframe view of the stardestroyer

mediaplayerclassic can run .fli else use the aaplay.exe in that zip (or just the batch file)

KDR_11k

My very first model *snif*. Including MS Paint texture. Made with that POS med.

Rick Stirling

Mongrelman

One of the first models I ever made. I was following a Maya tutorial, but the head I made didn't come out quite the same hehe.

rawkstar

second game character ever (textured with a mouse)

doc rob

Slum

My first model and my first texture. Milkshape and paint shop pro. I have no idea when I made this... Some time around 2001 I think.

Daz

ahah, first ever in game model:

MoP

320x200 texture maps were in fashion back then

Neo_God

Well they're not my oldest, but my oldest models were from close to 5 or so years ago which was 2 computers ago, so I no longer have any of those files, and I wouldn't know where to find pictures. These are only 3 years old.

Some Tribal alien thing


and a cyborg

Justin Meisse

old quake 2 skins, wish I still had my quake skins

Hollowmind

First model I ever made.

Second model I ever made and the first one I fully animated myself. Ahhh the good old days.

Wow...it's been six years since I made those.

CheapAlert

1996 ftw! First foray into Quake skinning, using Neopaint 3.0 for DOS (was my favorite art program at the time)


and then tried Photoshop 3...

and then later in late 2001 i submitted one of my first complete q3 models ever

(I actually made two superior models before this but lost those and their bodies were based on ~AustiN's superman hl mesh so I don't think polycount would like those.)

cholden

I don't have access to my oldest stuff, but here's some old q2 stuff I found still on polycount

q2 coldblood skinpack (found on q2 extrimities)

CMB

First time ever using photoshop.
December 27th 2004 adobe elements.

Second oldest saved skin I have.march 14th 2005 adobe elements(i went under the alias halo and put a lens falre in my name, hah)

Xenobond

I don't even know how to get this old guy to even show up on the quake guy, but here's his texture.

Ninjas

I couldn't find a picture of my first skin for Wrath's Tankgirl model. I did find this though.

ElysiumGX

My first attempt at a Q3 map, around June 2002 I think.


Level editing wasn't really my cup o tea.
My first attempt at a character, also 2002 I believe.


I think it was another 2 years before I started taking this crap seriously. :P

flaagan

while not my oldest 3d work, my oldest game work.

weapons for a Xcom-ish game that some classmates were workin on.
Sadly, those are true to the concepts.

skankerzero

ahhh, good times, good times...

brings back memories. my first skin ever.

11.18.2000

killingpeople

the oldest and crappiest i have on file

CrazyButcher

can't believe so many started on that high level... but judging from the time, you had the better tools already
expected more stuff like from kdr or cheapalert... really oooold, palettes and so on.
anyone remember qme ?
guess the main issue with old stuff is lack of data that is left, when multiple computers and os were inbetween...

Daz: awesome, loved the SAS, we used him in terrorquake2, too. Speaking of which, noone here actually happens to have a copy of terrorquake2 ?

hawken

something from '97. using Imagine on a 486!

TomDunne

Helloooooooooooooooooooo 1998!! Once upon a time, this model was a source of great controversy. I think it became the first Polycount review that required an addendum by virtue of angsty forum debate, very dramatic

And I bet you guys thought I just posted here just to meet chicks...

CheapAlert

kinda makes me wish q2pmp did all their reviews in software mode lol

lkraan

My oldest game art is this Gundam mech for a Doom mod. Made with a DOS model/raytrace program called Morray.

MoP

My first game art (long lost, many computers and hard drives ago) was attaching Quake's Grenade model to an elongated Shotgun model, exporting it from QME, and calling it a sniper rifle

Then I opened one of Warcraft 2's elf sprites in Paint Shop Pro and pixel-painted in a hood onto his cloak on every frame so the Ranger looked different to the default Elf

thnom

Hahaha, first 3d Model (by myself, I was doing shit/editing with milkshape before this however). Skinned before the model was UV mapped (I was confused). Still quite proud of him. As you can see dated 7/7/01 making me 13.




My first skin (none edited, again I was editing before with The Sims) and again, skinned before the model was done. Done for a mod before I knew what a mod was o_O. That's dated may 2001, again making me 13.

These are all still hosted on my geocities account with original dates.

Some other random:

Dated March, 2002 (14)
Dated March, 2002 (14) This was done WAY after the other hand was done, so I guess I did the other November 2002 time.

I've just changed the brightness/contrast to prove it has shading!
Dated march 2002. I was SO happy with this at the time and now I realise I can't see a damn thing. It does have shading in there - its just so dark you can't see it.
First weapon model, dated April 2002 (14).


Oh and something I've just found. I sent off for this as a kid, a VIZ trial. Complete with AOL!!11 and IRC. Dated march 15, 2002 (I was on model_design as a 14 yr old )

This GeoCities account is full of Nostalgia..
