Hey guys,
I have been browsing the forum for some time and decided to drop in and post a few shots of things I have worked on during the past year or so

MoP · May 2009

Looks good!

Isn't the $ sign on your gas pump backwards, though?

carlo_c · May 2009

Very nice, it would be nice to see that pistol baked down to a low poly and textured

commander_keen · May 2009

Yeah the pistol is awesome, and it would render a really good normal map.

Kimono · May 2009

I agree, aside from too much needless greebling it's a cool take on the m9

Paul Pepera · May 2009

Nice SubD work you got there.

Ben Apuna · May 2009

Cool engine! Is it modeled after a real engine? I know next to nothing about engines :poly136:

pyromania · May 2009

I don't know if you are going for realism on the pistol, but as it is right now it wouldn't function.

Those 2 top tabs on the magazine would have to go. The top edge of the magazine needs to be a straight edge so the extractor can grab the cartridge and slide it out of the magazine.

Thanks for the great replies guys!

pdude you have got some Sick models here,really like the way some models are done.
So as few others mentioned,it will be more cool,when u are able to show some processed maps on a real time game mesh.

Hey, Some nice stuff you got there, very creative.

Mind explaining how you prepare before modelling something? Is everything you make thought up as you go, or do you always look for inspiration somewhere and work you way from there?, The beretta is obviouse, however the sci fi look you gave it did you get that idea from somewhere?

Anyway just curiosue how you work, you're really creative and the stuff you made looks really great.

Hey there,
Really awesome looking stuff! I was wondering if you could show the wires on the pistol? I'm just curious about your edge loops!

Thanks

dolemite · May 2009

shit that pistol is really boss. Really inspiring stuff there.

mr_ace · May 2009

post some wires please! lovely stuff, but i love to see how people have prepared it for subdivision, to learn from them. rendered really nicely too!

snake85027 · May 2009

everything here is pretty much awesome, i love the gun as well as the gears of war style of buildings, very nice!

G3L · May 2009

Wow, all that stuff is sub-d'ed? If that's even a word...either way, that's great stuff there. I'm hoping to get to that level soon enough, seeing as how a lot of those must've created problems at times for your sub-d model and such throughout the process. Real cool stuff and inspirational.

Ubersock · May 2009

I enjoyed looking at all your hard work. my next project im going to look at your scifi wall for ref and that archway is sweet.

onionhead_o · May 2009

bounchfx · May 2009

This is my favorite by far. I'm working on some similar decorative motifs myself. What kind of workflow are you using on this?

butt_sahib · May 2009

Man this is pure WIN.
I love subD and i definitely lubb this

Sandbag · May 2009

Definitely some very nice modeling going on here! Your edges tend to lean on the soft side, but there are only a few places it really bothers me, like the tip of the M9 spinoff's barrel and overall front end of the slide.

I can really appreciate that you took the time to model out all of the separate parts and details of the gun (something I love to do myself and know how maddening it can be), but if you're going to take it that far it seems like a shame to have something as fixable as the magazine tips stick around to spoil the fun. The bullets are held in by small tabs, but they're normally towards/on the back end of the magazine (the rim side, opposite of the bullet) and they're usually a bit more subtle in arch. You load them into the magazine by pushing down on the spring and sliding them backwards. They're not really held in by a great deal, but that's what allows them to feed out of the gun without frequent jamming.

Personally, the indents on the grip are a bit deep for my tastes as well, but that's a pretty minor gripe.

Otherwise you have some really nice work here, it's cool to see some nice mechanical illustration-style work.
