keep it up.

Update

Oh wow, fantastic work on the metal. Only recommendation is where you have those circles (where it was hit with a hammer probably), just fade out part of the circle into the rest of the metal.

OldStyle · May 2012

Thank you, and I will do that! Ic what you mean with that said.

FullSynch · May 2012

Looks great! I love the curvy form. Be careful with the all those cuts and scratches though. Looks like it's been through quite the beating.

OldStyle · May 2012

Thank you! and for the input, I will see what I think of it when I tone them back on the layer a little, and as I go

FullSynch · May 2012

Right, it's not necessarily a problem right now, but I feel that at this rate it could have been.

Darkleopard · May 2012

great job! Cant wait to see it textured

OldStyle · May 2012

almost there

Jessica Dinh · May 2012

That looks awesome - I love the line quality variation

Excited to see the textures

OldStyle · May 2012

Thank you very much

innervision961 · May 2012

Very very cool! You really nailed the materials... no pun intended

ADartist · May 2012

Awesome! This is a great piece, I love how even without any material and texture work it already looks quite good and you instantly get what each piece is made out of.

I'd love to see it textured as well

OldStyle · May 2012

Thank you both, I will try and get the texture up as I go!

achillesian · May 2012

nice.

letronrael · May 2012

looks the same as the 3d motive tutorial. good job

OldStyle · May 2012

I just spent the last 20 minutes looking for that tutorial and realized the reference picture that I am using is the same chest. doing a little more digging I realized that the guy that made the tutorial is actually a teacher of mine from school. thought that was funny. And thank you!

OldStyle · Jun 2012

still in pass 1 of my texture but here is the top of the chest so far

OldStyle · Jun 2012

top, and sides for the wood texture, let me know what you think. one of the pictures has the normal map as well

Jeff Parrott · Jun 2012

Nice to see someone make my 3dmotive chest. You should really post where you got your reference in your first post online in the future. Just so no one calls you out on that.

You're doing a nice job on the wood so far. The design of the wood grain, etc looks good. Only critique with the wood now (and if you watch the texturing portion of the video) is that the wood is reading as very monotone at the moment. Start to work in other hues in there. Blues in the shadows, etc. Looking forward to seeing the metal areas.

Get an image hosting too. Attached images are a pain to look at.

Also reference image,

OldStyle · Jun 2012

Thank you for the heads up, I will be doing that from now on. and thank you for the critique, very much.

and honestly about the attached image, I didn't know how to host the image until someone else brought it up last night and showed me

. ha

OldStyle · Jun 2012

The work in progress, updated the wood. now im **starting the metal**

critiques on the wood please!!

FullSynch · Jun 2012

*hurl* Oh god that color.

OldStyle · Jun 2012

thanks for that helpful critique, as i said in the comment the color for the gold metal has just begun. so please. give the metal the benefit of the doubt, for now. any critiques on the wood would be appreciated

Hayden Zammit · Jun 2012

Wood is looking pretty nice I think.

FullSynch · Jun 2012

Heh heh okay I'll be gewd. Uhm, well on a plank by plank basis, it still looks a bit monotone. Each plank is there now, but they each have their own origin and sad little story. Maybe ones a little more weathered than the others, who knows, it's your thing I'm just being a jerk about it.
