Workshop #1 - EQ

EarthQuake

Ok a little bit of progress here. The the cuts on the inside of the mesh could be cleaner, but that area wont be visible when the inner section is modeled, so i wont bother to do any better there.

Pedro Amorim

this is the worst mesh so far.
really poor work.

i have no idea how you can fool all these guys over here.

i kid. this is looking really awesome

Pedro Amorim

took the liberty to render this obj for you ;P

Vrav

Oh, your direct approach to things is awesome. Looks so shiny, too; really must learn some tool with which to render things like that. You used modo's renderer, I'm guessing?

commador

I must say that this is some pretty awesome stuff. I can't tell from the images but are the UP DOWN buttons floating geometry or is it contiguous?

conte

ACE!

SHEPEIRO

rubbish!

EarthQuake

Thanks guys! Feel free to take a look at objs if you care to see how anything was constructed.

Vrav: Rendered in modo yeah
commador: The arrows are on in the same mesh as the buttons, i was going to use floaters there but it wasn't a very complex shape, so i quickly modeled them in. The text and lines on that front panel are floating. and the small screws on the side are floating too(didnt want to make the geo too messy here).

conte/shep: BRAMPH

Joao Sapiro

looking awesome and clean joe , as usual

that there is a high pro glow

I've got question: When it comes down to baking on the low poly, what do you do with the gaps between the viewfinder and the outer casing? Do you include them on the low poly geo?

It depends a bit on the application. If i have enough of a poly limit, i'm going to model the low as close the high as i can, as that gap is big identifying feature of the eotech. Especially if its in a game where you can look down the the it in iron sights mode.

Now if i've got a lower poly limit, where i dont think i can pull it off, i would have modified the highpoly, simplifed some of the shapes so they run flush and closed the gap, then build the lowpoly around that.

your knees are so raw

LAME. Quit now and just go sell sunglasses at the mall.

EarthQuake

I made some relatively minor changes, calling it done. I added a sunk in section around the front panel so it wasnt a hard intersection, i added some details around the larger screws on the side, and i edit the batery thing a little so that the hole going through for the rail wasnt getting blocked.

fap this

im going to take a good look at that obj when im home, i have the feeling i can learn a thing or two from you mister.

far out!

Nice job EQ, didn't realise as well the holes and such were floaters. They look like they sit in perfectly in the render.

EQ likes leaving floaters. ^_^

bounchfx

freaking awesome dude, I need to take a look at how you did those screws!

sampson

THE TEXT IS FLOATING!! ITS A CONSPIRACY

EarthQuake

When texts are touching.... is it gay?

gannonroader

Earthquake, and Bitmap.....what did you use to render those? Very cool looking renders.

EarthQuake

modo for both!
