Crimson Glory

Snowfly

Welp.. I landed a freelance games job, working on the spiritual sequel to Soldat. I'm doing all of the main art, from concepts to 3D.

The gameplay is a cross between Worms and Unreal Tournament, so the sprites don't appear too large on the screen. The character in this shot is 504 triangles with a 512 x 512 map (final will be 128), and the vehicle should end up around 700 triangles.

All Maya 4.5 except for a pelt mapping script for the UV's.

And some crappy concept art. The theme and setting are highly inspired by Porco Rosso.

ahaha I dig this! nice styleee

hawken

wow! awsome modelling there

This is some good looking stuff. The legs on the pilot model look possibly a tad bowed out, but that's nit-picky at best.

Looks cool, that concept art reminds me of soldat meets wings of fury!

gauss

fun stuff snowfly, hope you're able to post more as it progresses... looks like Porco Russo is a perfect touchstone for the project, what a fun movie. All you're missing is a porcine flying ace!

Hah yeah that is cool. I'm actually reminded of that game that was the precursor to Battlefield. Bugger, my memory fails me in my old age.....

low odor

cool stuff..the only tiny crit I can think of is..is to turn the feet out a bit..but it looks like you did that in the textured version....I wish I had to time to do a project like this

Snowfly

Glad you like. This is one of the best projects I've worked on. It's a two man team, just me and the programmer and he's looking for level designers. It would rock to have another polycounter on board.

Update on the pilot skins for the opposing teams. kub I fixed the bow legs like you suggested! I might have to make the air force skin a bit brighter.

Puffy pants never looked more badass! Great work! Personally I would've given the geometry a little bit of a crotch but the texture makes up for it quite well!

Toomas

Looking good.
The leather jacket looks little too realistic compared to the cloth jacket for example which has much more painterly feel.
Consistency = everything!

No pertinent crits to make. I very much enjoy all of this thus far. Nice work, friend. Look forward to seeing more. For now, I go back to zbrush and A Tribe Called Quest. Gogoggogogo

Snowfly

ever so slowly putting the low-poly plane together. it was built from a nurbs surface cage. about 740 triangles right now.

I'm really digging this stuff Snowfly!
