Trying to speed up my work flow, but I'm working on making a Large angle grinder to be used for a FPS style game. Blocked out a generic version of the model, got a whole bunch references, going through them seeing what details I like before starting the sub division modeling.

I'm debating whether to use a cordless model, tape a battery to the model, or just ignore it/pretend the guy has a battery.

ha ha zacD ... awesome reference. Use the tape idea... adds an extra bit of special to the model

When you say you like this scale, do you mean the gentlemen or the grinder?

"I like this" - As do I

Anyway enough shenanigans, block out looks good. Really nothing else to crit. yet.

Completely changed the design to the top left image, I only have 4 pictures of that style from basically the same angle so this might get tricky...

Put about 2 more hours of work into it, I'm rusty, not really doing much sub div work yet, blocking out the details making sure the scale and shape of everything is right and it looks good.

Looks like a grinder to me! Also, what a terrible way to kill or be killed, ha:)

Your ref sheet is awesome too, "I like this!"

I like this ref sheet enough to 'shop on a blood spurt, print and hang on my wall. With no other context, it's just scary
Looks like a nice start.

Any of u see weeds? Torture scene with grinder, was quite crazy. First thing i thought when i saw this, you should do 2 texture passes zac, 1 reg grinder and 1 torture grinder

Search angle grinder, with safe search off and go to around page 12 or 13 on google......

Actually don't, I will never get that sight out of my head again. I'll let you know what it is so no one has to see that...ever again:

A lady murdered her kids with an angle grinder.... Seriously, that shit usually doesn't bother me, but seeing it happen to kids, I was going to cry (AND IM NOT AFRAID TO ADMIT IT!)



Anyway, looking real good Zac. Nothing really wrong with it yet!

There's one picture where a guy got a 3 in cut on his chin from the grinder kicking back, hard to imagine how much damage it would do if it was being used as a weapon...

Anyway I kinda want to do it for the TF2 submit content thing, the engineer really needs this. I'll do a realistic version first and then I'll probably try to tweak it for TF2.

Tried to make a decent "high poly clay render."



Didn't do too much more work, Gotta combine the pieces and make sure it subdivides fine.

Really cool! Haha when I first saw this I instantly thought of tf2 and the medigun. Didn't even see the part of it being for the tf2 contest. Really like how clean and refined the shapes are.

This is awesome! I want to grind zombieheads in l4d2! Do it!

That's not so large...

I don't really have anything very useful to add.
Perhaps Haute Tension might be a useful reference if you're going to gore it up.

Is that a grinder or saw? I might half to check out the movie, looks brutal.

Well, now that you mention it's probably technically a masonry saw, but you know, same principal with the spinning around bit and the the holding on bit.

MattQ86

It's a concrete saw, in the movie it's first shown being used to do some construction work on a street...


...it gets used for worse things.
