Workshop #2 - Keen

Loren Broach

Well it ain't much yet, but here's what I got so far. I need to work a lot more on my high poly modeling so feel free to critique. This workshop should be very helpful.

Loren Broach

A little more progress.

MoP

looks like it's coming along well.

Loren Broach

Thanks Mop.

My updates haven't been much, but here's a little more. I got the day off tomorrow, so hopefully I'll make a lot more progress then. In the meantime:

Chaosv49

Nice one. Keep it up.

Loren Broach

Thanks man! I'm trying

Joshua Stubbles

This makes me want to play Doom again...
Nice work so far.

Loren Broach

Thanks Josh!

Pedro Amorim

wires wires!
looks good keen!

Loren Broach

For you bitmap....anything.

I think I'm going to call the high poly done. Gonna start finishing the low poly now.

Pedro Amorim

:D

breakneck

sweet work mate. are the indented piece by the pull start floating geo?

EarthQuake

The gap in the back where the handle meets the main bit seems too large maybe?

Also its a little hard to tell, but it looks like on your floaters you're missing the edge loop on the edge that is planar to the surface, which will give you a soft intersection.

Pedro Amorim

yea. what eq said

Joshua Stubbles

Looking great Keen! Definitely do the little extensions that EQ mentions, that'll help a lot.

Also, how did you terminate the handle in the bottom of the chainsaw? I can't any ref pics of that, so I have no idea what's going on down there, hah.

I know it would never be seen in game, but I'd like to know..

Loren Broach

Hurray! Feedback! Thanks guys.

Breakneck - Yeah it's floating
EQ - Assuming we're talking about the same thing, I think the gap is fine, I put the profile picture in max and copied it closely. Thanks for the advice on the floating geo, I didn't think about that, I'll be sure to change it.

Vassago - ha, my solution was pretty lame. but here's what I did:



Sorry, no updates today, Soon though!

EarthQuake

oh yeah looking at the ref its fine, dunno what i was thinking. I just assumed it was a smaller gap i guess.

Joshua Stubbles

ah cool, thanks Keen. That's similar to what I ended up doing as well. Just urks me when trying to make a real object and I can't see all sides of it, heh. Thanks again.

Loren Broach

Bah, well looks like I need to rethink my plan because my bake came out terrible. I'm pretty sure my main problem is I have too many separate pieces in my UV's. So I'm going to try and keep as much of it in one piece as I can.

Any other tips would be greatly appreciated too.



On a side note, this is the first time I baked in the diffuse and I think that's going to save me a lot of time

I'm having struggles baking too. I'm double checking my hires mesh for errors. Usually that affects the baking process. Also sometime turning the edges on the low poly mesh helps the baking process. Such a pain in the ass.

dude bring this into work.
