WIP - SteamPunk Goggles

DiegoTeran

hey guys. started texturing and lighting class today and teacher gave me this to model, i have 5 weeks to finish the high poly, low poly, unwrap, bake, texture, and rendered by then. so i decided to start today. would love some crits please. thanx!!



i still have a lot more work on this. im missing the strap, the detail on the bolts, the magnifying glass over the left eye. some strappy thing over the main cylinder on top and those big bolts on the top and bottom (u can see them on the image with the girl) the look like vents, idk.

update:

added some more pieces

Oniram

lookin cool so far, tho i wonder is this for a realtime model? if so i may be able to give you a hand with doing the low poly so you can still keep the detail on the small parts like the little pieces holding the lenses on the right.

also your helix(or spiral) should be flat when wrapping around the cylinder on top, try to mess with some of the primitive settings or even make a new box/plane and add a twist modifier to it with a pivot offset, so it will go around the cylinder.

DiegoTeran

sure man all the help i can get. never really done a low poly from a high so it would be a good learning experience.

i made some changes already. i put this on the face of one of my characters and i noticed i made the main part of the goggles way to long. the sides a little to straight and now its fixed.

as for the helix... well i see that its flat on the reference and i tried to make it the same but nothing. so ill try ur box/plane idea. thanx again bud.

ps: ill be in school tuesday. got class till 12

DiegoTeran

decided that just the goggles was kinda cheesy so im also working on this.




i guess ill add the 2 hands on the clock and any ideas on what else? maybe a chain attached to the hat or something.

lookin really cool. BUT! i dont know what it is with craig.. or generally everyone that went on a steampunk craze after our group decided to do that, but the concept of steampunk needs to be clarified as to NOT HAVE GEARS RANDOMLY TOSSED ONTO OBJECTS. randall made a crate that just had gears on it and called it steampunk. it doesnt work like that. see if you can incorporate some actual mechanics into the clock.

DiegoTeran

Yea found the hat concept with the clock online. It doesnt work, at all, doesn't even have the hands. Text me to let me kno when u will be at school so we can meet. And yea Craig is making everyone do steampunk objects from a website we found and gave us the objects to model. The hat is just something extra I'm doing. Trying to be an over achiever lol

darthwilson

I think that you should put more detail into the top hat, make it less perfect.. Probably use a normal Map to add the detail

DiegoTeran

Less perfect... Lol I like that. Makes my modeling feel better. Hahaha and yea prob will do that. Thanx

DiegoTeran

nice little PolyCount touch update on the top hat.

Oniram

now thats lookin better. can u post a shot from the side?

DiegoTeran

rendered? if so give me a few

DiegoTeran

here is the side. i noticed i have to fix the strap in the back to be flush with the hat.

DiegoTeran
