a couple of models

Kimono

a couple of models I wanted to do whilst on break from work. I plan to make lows, unwrap and texture them at some point in the future (dependant upon work.) Infact the lowpoly for the liquidtank has already been completed and unwrapped.

The grip has been widened since these shots, the change can be seen in the last viewport grab.

SWEET! Really cool Ben!
Haven't lost the touch!

Haven't modelled in quite a while so these have just been a bit of a refresher, under advisement I complemented them with an entire printout of the 3ds max command list and combed my way through that. It was amazing how little I knew of the program until it's all there in front of you. I plan to get cracking on something alot more complex to really familiarise myself with all the tools available. I'd advise anyone who feels as though they're taking too long/using rather obtuse methods to get results to do the same.

edit: This is pretty much a requirement if working professionaly

awesome models...learn so much from you guys ;p

yo this is pretty baller

When I model things like that, why doesn't it look as sexy?

I admire your sexiness. *Bow.

Great modeling you have there, what kind of shader/light setup are you using? I like the presentation of the models.

For the view port shots, I'm 99% sure its the 3Point Studios shader

EDIT: nevermind, its not baked, so I have no idea.

I would love to see the gun baked and textured! Really nice modeling on all the stuff

bluekangaroo

ha! you actually modeled that pistol

On the viewport grabs it's just a standard max mat set to 60 spec, 16 gloss. For the renders it's truly nothing fancy, I take a quick render with an extremely dark material (10,10,10 this time) but a high spec, you can give the specular any colour you'd like here it doesn't matter. Then apply a light basic material with a single skylight + light tracing enabled, then it's just a 2 second job of overlaying one over the other in photoshop.

Man, thats some badass work, post moar plz..

Conversely, if you feel frisky, you can plot in mental ray as your renderer, and pick Ambient/Reflective Occlusion as your diffuse, set its bright to your base colour, and up the samples to 64.

That way you don't have to boot up PS..

EDIT: Also throw one in your specular slot, with a bright value that corresponds to your spec value, in this case 60 60 60..

Wow, that's such a simple material solution for your high poly models. I'm going to have to give that a try! Thanks bbob for sharing that

Mr.Spark

Wow, that's awesome! Nice work

took a free hour and baked the revolver. There's a couple of small errors to sort out at a later date (namely a few 1px artifacts in places). Here it is in the 3ds max viewport, triangle count is 6320 including 6 instances of the bullet:

How do you make it look so sexy?

EarthQuake

Sorry but this sux bro, you should start over. Add some bat-trays?

Alberto Rdrgz

This looks awesome! some wireframes would be sweet!:)

ZacD

Looking good, WIRES YO!

Kimono

wires incominggggggggggggggg

n88tr

not the wireframe I would have but maybe that's a good thing. super sexy no doubt.

How do you take the mega high rez screen shots (judging by the yellow text)?

Whats the tri count?

I use a script called Grab Viewport,(Google it...) very handy!

very nice but I don't understand
you said six instances of the bullet yet I only see five loaded(only 5 possible bullets as well).
Might just be a noob talking here but there seems to be a bullet missing from your count unless it's somehwere where I don't see it.

Man, this is looking incredible..

Jungsik

indeed..........
