Practice in hard surface armor

Leb · Aug 2013

Update:

Hey guys, trying my hand at doing some hard surface armor, after reading Afisher's tutorial and Gav's Swordmaster book.

Figured I'd post what I have so far and get some opinions.

The shoulder pieces seem to float, without any visible attachment to the rest of the armor. Compare them to the thigh pieces which have clearly defined straps.

looking good

how bout some tiny details like bolts, dents etc?

Could I get a link to this tutorial, please? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

DWalker - Good point. I'll try sliding it down the arm a bit and adding something like a strap to attach it. Think that would be best so that the strap wouldnt go right in his armpit and probably look weird.

looprix - Thanks! Ya, I agree been a bit light handed with that stuff. I'll throw some on to see how it looks. Don't want it overly damaged but maybe some wear and tear would help it`out.

Stirls - Sure no problem.

Thank you! Are you going to consider texturing this? Definitely has great potential as a final model.

Small update, been working on the low poly and uving.

Finished the high poly rifle a few days ago.

Quick update. Working on the textures some. Still have a bit to go.

Final shot.

Again, take a look the tutorials that I mention before. They really helped with learning about hard surface suit modeling.

Thanks for the feedback to guys!
