[WIP] High Poly Willy Jeep

Boyso

Hello everyone,

As a student, we have to present one high poly vehicle as an assignment and for our future 'demo'.

This is pretty much my first high poly of that complexity/size. (Yeah, I did a fire hydrant like everybody )










This won't be baked so I'm just focusing on the HP, at least for now.

C&C Appreciated

Good start! We will need reference image to see correctly though. By the way do not render the wireframe in High Poly. It is useless.

Boyso

Thanks.










These were my main references for the general shapes and placement of accessories.

A few parts needs to be redone (Windshield, Differential Gearbox, etc.)

Boyso

C&C Appreciated on the model and on the frame!

letronrael

funky

Shoy333

Veryyyy nice beryyyy nice!

Boyso

A few things needs to be fixed, and some parts are missing, but here's another angle.

Thanks for the comments!

Boyso

Fixed a few things like the tires, added a few props (Anti-Decapitation Device, M1919A4 (Still WIP))

Any suggestion is welcomed!

hey boyso!

great progress on this, my only crit is your edges are SUPER TIGHT, and your angles are really sharp. you might want to exaggerate them cause if you bake this down it's gonna be a headache.

Good Job, so far, Dood!

Boyso

Thanks for the critics!

This was done for our highpoly 'class' so baking wasn't really in my mind for the modelling part.

I'll probably re-work these edges anyway just to get more variation and some shadows.

I'll probably bake it anyway next semester

Alberto Rdrgz

o ok, well, just for future ref keep your edges...basically fatter, lol. exaggerate a lot so that the bake looks clean.:)

Ambient occlusion rendering isn't the best way to show your work. The curves are impossible to see without a bit of specular. You might want to use a setup like this

could you share your render and lighting setup please?

Boyso

The render is a simple AO. There is no lights.

I'm trying to render with your link Noors, merci!

Should be up by the end of the night hehe.

n88tr

ok thanks

Boyso

Alright sorry for the late reply, couldn't get it to work properly.

I can't get my shadows right. If my shadow casting light is in another mod than Shadow Map, I get glitches everywhere. And even with Shadow map, I got glitches.

Anyway, hope it helps seeing more the shapes.

back to work!!!

Boyso

Hahaha. Get back to your Mech now, fool. :poly124:

Fred2303

non chfais un thumbnail denvironement la!!

letronrael

go get private chat...fools..

Boyso

Started detailing the M1919. Tried also keeping more rounded shapes for (future) baking.

Oiban

I like a lot how this is starting to look!

Cooljay

Alot of things seems good about this jeep. Tires are more hard than they should be though.

Beep beep, who got the keys to my jeep, vroomm.

Looks great, awaiting textures.

I'd bevel those holes in your mounted gun, otherwise very little will show up in your normal map.

Boyso

Wow thanks for the comments!

I agree about these holes, but the thing is I boolean'd a cylinder into it meaning my mesh now isn't really work-able.

I'll try posting some wire later today to show what I mean.

I kept the barrel before the booleans though, do you guys have a better way to do it to suggest?

Thanks!

Boyso

Alright, here's what I meant. I also tried doing it with a bent plane, but the results aren't as clean.



Suggestions?

chriszuko

What i personally would do is make 1 row of holes with nice topology and beveled edges. Then i would duplicate, rotate, move, then merge the verts until the full barrel is done to my liking.

Just my suggestion (:

Boyso

Thanks, I<ll try it this afternoon!

Do you plan on modeling the holes in your lowpoly as well? Holes in high = ray projection errors when baked. This would be better done with capped off holes, and the easiest solution would be to float the holes.

something like this:

Moosey_G

That booleen modeling is not really going to fly most of the time. I'd highly suggest taking a look at floating geometry like earthquake demonstrated for you, or making a plane and bending it.

Boyso

Thank you very much!

Yeah I should've used floating geo, I need to develop that reflex more ^^

I tried modelling with complete holes to get a good looking high poly (For school) but I'll redo it right now

Btw : Your thread about normals is amazing. Should've read it before starting this project!
