-Konstruct: nope, people dont model maschinen krieger enough! like only 4 here on polycount have ever done that, as far as I have researched. We need MOAR
any reason you cut the circular shapes out of the wall? You could of just used intersecting geo there, since it's not cutting back into the wall and saved tons of polys
I went back to my reference I was using and noticed that the circle trim actually sits inside the wall and not on the outside so in that case if I just intersected the wall itself would intersect through it, then it wouldn't look right.
I have some updates. Been messing with some pipe work and uv's recently. I'm hoping to wrap up the low res modeling and uv's tonight or tomorrow and to have some texture progress done by this weekend. Please feel free to add some feedback. Thanks.
and numpty: wow. but, i think itd be good if u set up a 3point lighting [for display purposes] and not render against a black bg
The_Kozmonaut: i think ther's a bit too much noise on ur texture. im not one to judge, but at the moment, it feels that way. otherwise, it looks real good!
now then, sommin of my own:
my communications technology teacher let me do 3d animation for my ISU project to finish the semester off. just wanted to post the character i've been working on.
my 2 - 3 minute animation will be very 'mirror's edge' theme, simply because ive wanted to create something like it ever since i saw 'transporter' and 'district b13' in close succession.
the model is indeed meshsmoothed, simply because it will be meshsmoothed while rendering out the movie. i may make a game res version later on, down the line.
i just wanted to post it up for some CnC from you guys:
probably will make a thread for it some time in the future, so that i can get as much assistance as possible
One thing thats annoying me with a lot of these death knight entries is just how samey the concepts are, there are way too many skulls and generally uninteresting concepts... fuck the spikes go with something a bit more outlandish!
Just look at say... druid t5 shoulders (bark with mushrooms) or priest t6 (bound faces) the class specific tier sets are generally unique and refreshing. Unless youre aim is to make a orgrimmar guard in black? :P
Dont wanna sound like a dick, hell... i didnt even post my entry
sama thats awesome your characters always have the most interesting armor, lovin the boots on that one and im sure its gonna look amazing caus your textures are tops.
A hand for first person view, work in progress, will finish up the highpoly tonight, the textures are polypaint and photosource. A bit red material from zbrush though. Mostly just testing it out. Will go back and focus on the sculpt now instead.

nice hands, tips of the fingers are a bit plump, and the nails seem a bit small, looks good though:)
Thanks for the comments guys, i haven't really gotten into details yet, specially considering the nails. i kinda got in mind how i want them to look though. why u think im making the left hand? so i can sculpt with my right Wonderful with real live references.
robomaniac:
Solid modeling!
Do you have any references that you follow when making mechs and shit? do you know any reference site i could check for blueprints and such? (no blueprints for gundams )
kp, we both know the d1 UI would be WAAAAY too big for the iphone where as the d2 one with a few adjustments(inventory, and menu tabs) would work great. Hell you could get rid of the potions boxes and replace them with the inventory and menu boxes. Then have the player tap the health or mana globes to use a potion of that type with it grabbing the one with the closest amount to what was needed. The body recover mechanic would have to go away for the mobile version because of the unneeded frustration it would create.
vladino, No need to even use the accelerometer, just taping and multi touch to create a selection boxs. Or at least it would work in my head.
No photosourced textures on this one, but im getting kinda pleased with the highpoly now, will move on to the lowpoly and remake the textures/photosource
Misterboogie: I thought that was done..? Just cleaning it up a bit?
I don't like how realistic that stone texture is in contrast to the cool stylized-ness heart/brain/thing centerpiece.
Hey Elvis, got some quick feedback for you if you're interested:
I'm a big fan of the red vs aqua lighting, but your placement could make more sense. I suggest moving the red to the front, focusing on those red "eyes", and the blue in the back. From this angle the blue source doesn't need t be explained.
To enhance this effect further. I noticed you have a blue lighting from above, so instead of fade-to-black, fill the bottom with hot red lighting. Sort of like there's a lava pit down there. Doesn't have to be lava, again from this angle it doesn't have to be explained but it will aid in scene composition as well as make it look more dangerous. This should help removing all the black, unlite areas.
That angler fish bait coming off the front of the brain just needs to go. It detracts from your good work around the scene, looks low poly, draws the eye in a negative way. I'd just hide/delete it.
The brick has got to go. I'm confident that's a placeholder since it's just a picture of bricks. A quick fix is building columns and a ceiling out of the pipe work you already have as the based of the centerpiece.
Once you've got that, a slight depth of field, increased fov and lite haze/fog would really bring this scene together. Let me know if you're interested in more details on this.
hey steady, yeah spinks is on the money- just shaped planes moved about and curved with soft selection. its like sketching in 3d, and you can edit any stroke as you like. i did genericman as a test but I think itd be fun to design a character that way
rich, you're always one step ahead of everyone else when it comes to trying out totally new stuff using existing tools. great idea, works well too!
i also loved your older stuff where you just used flat material colours all on fullbright to shade a scene, looked great ... maybe combine that with this ?!

Rooster, cool idea. I wouldn't have caught it was 3d if steady didn't say anything. What about angles in-between front and side though? Won't it look weird the more contours you add to the model?

btw I just ordered these, figured others might be interested in them too. Yokoyama's designs sooooooooooo awesome.

Yea, I have those books sitting right here by my computer; great reference.
Numpty, nice textures.

Actually Line + shadow...
Actually, it reminds me more of Victor Crowley from the movie Hatchet.

Fixing the geometry silhouette as I'm going along. It will be going into a scene I've settled down with.
-woog
Very nice!!
The final result will probably be a lot smoother and with some orange parts.
Some suggestions would be nice.

If only they were real...
Diablo 1 with Diablo 2 interface? ... At least your head is in the right place
The only problem I see with this is the actual control of the game which is way hard to do right with just tap-screen and accelerometer
Solid modeling!

i am not using any references, i "read" volume from picture

it was fun, I reccommend having a go

Uhhh,... I never finished my Unearthly entry. I'm still in the process of finishing it.
However, I loved how your's came out. Great stuff!
Wanted to mix old Mayan/Aztec with the techy brain. I'm working on the Mayan stuff now.

e: I will deform the house later. While editing, i want to keep it as easy to change as possible.

Katz, beautiful work! Every time I see something new from that project, I want to live there!
i know he's generic, but ... bla.
i probably won't be able to finish him in time for the comp
