VG Remix Portal2

bryce · Jul 2013

I have decided to do a diorama of Portal2, from my favourite studio Valve. This is also my first polycount contest.

The first image is a Companion Cube model, and the second image is my concept art of my plans for the final diorama.

LOVE this idea, but your images aren't loading dude.

bryce · Jul 2013

Thank you for telling me about the problem with the images, they should work now.

R00 · Jul 2013

I would advise uploading your image using another site so we can see them clearer.

for example [URL Example

I'll be keeping an eye on this

Good Luck

Love Portal 2 so much! I'll be watching

Also, there are a plethora of image hosting sites out there. Personally, I use imgur as it seems to be the fastest for me, but any one will do and is probably easier than attaching the images.

Thank you for the help, I really appreciate it.

Here is the first bit of, the main character, Chell. I also can not even begin to describe my hatred of modeling with triangles, but it is a good challenge.

minorthreat · Jul 2013

lol those eyes.

bryce · Jul 2013

danielletaureau · Jul 2013

If you're not so comfortable modelling in triangles, model in 4-sided polys instead and then just triangulate it at the end - either manually or through a modifier.

bryce · Jul 2013

Here is Chell, with 714 triangles. I will have to come back to this model later to fix and issue with normal edge smoothing on one of the legs and try to get the tris closer to 500.

bryce · Jul 2013

First textures, for the portals. Starting work on portal gun.

Moosebish · Jul 2013

Not to be a total buzz kill or anything, but I believe the rules say no alpha maps...

theslingshot · Jul 2013

Moosebish // Not to be a total buzz kill back, but I believe they do allow it

bryce · Jul 2013

@Moosebish // There was a rule update allowing opacity maps that did not have any semi-transparency, you can find it right under the thread on the rules.

Moosebish · Jul 2013

You are very correct, sorry!

bryce · Aug 2013

Here is the portal gun model, with 551 tries, it's a little higher than i wanted but fine for now. I am going to start boxing in the environment and GLaDOS next.

Here is what I am currently working on, very early stage of the block in of the jungle ruin chamber environment, and GLaDOS.

ALMO5T Joycie · Aug 2013

Looking great so far! One thing I will say is i think you're going way over the tri limits. I'd have thought the character and the gun combined would come to not much over than 500 tris.

Remember, most of your details can be faked. Even a cube can be made to look circular with smoothing groups.

I hope you don't mind but I went ahead and did a quick sketch over the gun to demonstrate. You could make the spokes coming out single planes and really reduce the number of sides for your cylinders.

Hope I've not overstepped the mark!

ALMO5T Joycie// Thanks for the tip, you didn't overstep at all, I will defiantly be doing that.

ALMO5T Joycie · Aug 2013

Glad I could help! As long as it maintains the Silhouette of that iconic shape, it'll look great when textured!

bryce · Aug 2013

Here is the portalgun so far, at 292tris.

AimBiZ · Aug 2013

You can still optimize it more. ALMO5T Joycie's example really hit the nail on that part.

bryce · Aug 2013

GLaDOS is on its way.

bryce · Aug 2013

Wheatley, with 222 tris.

bryce · Aug 2013

Sentry, with 436 tris.

Frankenturret, with 538 tris, and a button, with 156 tris.

bryce · Aug 2013

I have started uvw unwrapping and texturing.

I have been having a hard time uploading the textures to sketchfab. I tried exporting to obj like I normal do and zip the textures with it; but it did not keep the original geometry or have any textures. I also tried fbx, but had no luck uploading the texture images. Im going to try and change my images to png format and add image ids to everything to see if it changes anything.
