UT3 Character - Rankin returns
polycounter lvl 18
Hi all. Heres a Unreal character Im going to be modeling for UT3. Its a remake of Rankin from UT99. He was my favorite character in UT99, and after seeing Spacemonkey's Sarge and Spitty's Visor come to life here, I am inspired to do one to get it into UT3. Coming up with the concept, I was inspired by UT3, Gears of War, Spacemonkey, Spitty, and Dave King's Quake concepts. This will get me started, and it is still w.i.p. Any and all C&C are welcome.

I'm very sure I saw it too.. but I can't find it. hmm.
MikeF- Yes it was deleted. And now its back fixed.
I see paint over pieces from this guy that I did some time ago.
Are you the guy who recently asked permission to model him?
oh noes a sci-fi soldier they never look the same psshhh... let the kid model the 3d model
I want to make it clear that I am not trying to steal or copy other artists work. I was trying to use them as reference. Yes, I made a mistake at first with using part of Dave KIng's concept and pasting it into my sketch without mentioning his name. I did a quick and dirty job to get a concept going. I apoligize for my mistakes and wish for it to never happen again. If there is anything else you guys think is wrong, please let me know and I will gladly scrap it and start over again from scratch. The concept is not a final piece yet. I hope this clears things.
that doesn't quite sound sincere
People get sued, fired, kicked out of school for stuff like this, do it enough and you get a reputation. I know this may be a personal piece for fun but I like to think that polycount users hold themselves and others to a higher standard.
Best advice, your reference should never enter the paint area
oh yeah, and time stamp reveals your ninja edit, 2 hours after spacemonkey's post.
Come back with a cool concept you drew yourself and you will be redeemed, water under the bridge.
No, I am, but I realized I needed more practice before I started it, though. It will get done eventually.
copiing could get you seriously in trouble, once i almost got kicked out from school, because i copied some text from wikipedia for a presentation, and the teacher busted me,
it ended up in recreating the work from half a year within one evening to stay at school
(i can say this is no fun, almost like forking for small companies, that are calling that the work given should be finished the next day)
edit: but it tought me a lesson, i decidet to get a badass and now im one of the tree best students in my semester
Give this man a cookie!
ohh and the author should read my sig, and learn something from a genius!
the hips seem twisted slightly clockwise when viewed from the top (because of his left foot standing in front) so, logically his shoulders should be twisted the other way (counter-clockwise) to make the pose seem natural and relaxed.
then again, it might be that i'm talking bullshit
Keep at it man.
Cody- Thanks man, I hope I will pull it off too.
J Randall- I will work out the back later on as I start modeling it out. I will come up with a sketch of details of the back. Thanks.
Bradmyers82- Yes, you are right, thanks. Thanks for remembering me from the Dominance War3. I remember you too.
