My First Model

So I was going through some old folders and came across all the work I had done in my first 3d class ever. Needless to say, it was good for a laugh, and it's kinda motivational seeing how far I've come.

I'm interested to see how many of you have kept your older or even first pieces around. So how bout it, let's see some of your first attempts at game art.

    Don't have any pictures of my first model, but I do have a picture from my first post back in may.

    Teachers in my school said this was the best 3d art they ever saw. Posted here and realized how full of crap they were.

    oh man this is great!

    naturally my first models were weapons. XD i made these back in 2006 with the hope to put them in a Star Wars: Jedi Academy....Lord of the Rings total conversion mod. The mod never got finished but this is what i did.

    I don't remember whether this is the actual first model ever, but it was one of the first. I made it in anim8or and actually created the texture by going crazy with the clone tool on someone elses concept art. See? Starting out as an art thief is not always disastrous ;).

    I guess this is technically my first "real" model, as it was textured and working in a game editor. Made for Serious Sam the First Encounter I was going to have him escape a level I was making by jumping into a starfighter. the texture seems to have been corrupted over the years and my first UVs were, well...

    Well, I found the file... Last edited: 1998... but it's a Rhino3D .3dm file and I have no way to open it. I have no idea how I managed to preserve that folder across - ohdamn, ten workstations and laptops, starting with a IBM PS/1 486/25.

    A thoroughly unimpressive hovercraft that was all but indistinguishable from a wooden shoe or a Chevy alternator.

    I found a print out of my first model the other day. Meant to get a photo of it. It was a horribly inept mecha made out of primitives in Extreme 3D. It featured an orange peel procedural texture and a giant lens flare.

    The lack of really terrible art in here is kind of disappointing. Let me fix that problem. This here is my first game model from back in 2002:

    Apparently she has a breastplate made from some street signs and the tops of a pair of fire extinguishers.

    Not my really first model. I had done some swords before, but I don't think I have pics nor the models anymore. This, a helmet or a shield was my first which I posted with wires:

    That's the first model I ever completed. Still not bad really, even though it was a simple car. I didn't UV it though, because I was lazy haha.

    This is the earliest one I can find, from a game of "crash the computer"

    Spidery_by_WICKED_ZOEYGIRL.jpg

    The earliest thing I can find that I made on purpose for a project is this guy. Was during my anime phase and we were required to use splines to model. One of the most painful learning experiences ever but I'll tell you what, I understand exactly how bezier curves work now. Both are from 2004

    But this is the oldest thing I do have, from early 2000, I think.

    Sometime around 2003, methinks. All I could do was apply TrueSpace's default materials. I knew nothing of actual texturing or UV maps.

    I also stole his head from Turbosquid.

    Also, I stole this entire skeleton from Turbosquid and just modeled the equipment:

    Liking this thread! This was my first character I designed and created (second character I made, lost that one though, thank god!). Background was adapted from some free resources (brick pile and wall texture).

    hehe this is fun. Though, shouldnt people post their first model, and something they`ve done recently? so we can all see the difference?

    Sadly, i dont have anything recent i can post. buuut, here.

    This is my VERY FIRST model EVER.

    3d_Snowman_by_SrlDragon.jpg

    i saw this forum thread and it reminded me of one of the first modeling classes i ever took, we needed to make a tank, and i thought mine was so bad ass! i looked at it yesterday and almost puked from all the engons, not to mention my UVW layout bieng so horrible i would just have to re-unwrap the whole damn thing if i wanna mess with textures in the future lol. all in all though i liked the design i made and i think it turned out looking semi-ok. the other stuff is more recent things for a comparison lol :D

    (see attached for tank pics)
