My first crate actually wasn't my first prop..Rather further down the road in fact.
Needs better texture work though (I'm amateur at best with texturing)
you're crazy, man.
412 triangles
my first cube thing....
Here's my first crate from a school game development project. This one was awesome enough to make it onto my first demo reel. Complete with animated 720 rotation so potential employers wouldn't miss a single detail.
Of course! I made my first crate last night.
keep them coming! Lets get this thread full of crates!
Me either
then go make one and post it!
lee i cant see urs up there. image taken down?
my crates.. yippie.
... well, it's kind of... cubical, you know :poly139:
Yeah, it's quite high-res but it was my first crate, first normal maps (reeeally subtle) and first specular maps all in one!
For better or for worst, it's the first.
woaaah...thats a pretty fancy crate
If a small child crawled under one...
HAHA...glad i'm not the only one who thought that immediately.
except for the cylinder container... oh, and the green crates (and the cylinder) were textured by a teammate.
All I can say is "OMFG" and "WTF". And I do agree with the space station comment. What I'm wondering is, what does the wireframe look like, and how many polys is this thing!?
Seriously though, good job on this. Would love to see what insane texture work you'd come up with to go with it.
that's a majorly HP crate
Exactly what I was thinking. Wonder if we would even see the actual edge loops or if the wireframe would just turn the screen white.
Things as useful as hinges will never go out of fashion. Do you think we'll give up velcro?! How about the microwave!
Everything is better with hinges
Talbot... it actually runs at 60fps on current consoles and would be faster if they weren't locked to that by vsync.
Lots of people always smooth and smooth the hell out of everything to make it 'high poly'.
This crate actually has no smoothing at all, everything was modeled.
Here's a printscreen of wireframe from max viewport.
Glad to hear some people like it
That's because in order to get nice, clean normal maps you have to 'smooth' (i.e. Subdivide) the hi-poly geometry and ensure the bevels and chamfers are good.
What?
Max has smoothing groups which can help make surfaces look perfectly smooth, doesn't need to be a sub-divided bevel with lots of polys to get a smooth result.
can we have a remake?
Of course, for the full effect it needs to be pixellated to buggery (it used A1200 raster interrupts to change the screen pallette every 6 lines, so the final pixels were
3x3 big, so it looked something like this:
Ah.. them were the days
That is sweet. How long did it take you to make it?
