Re: Early-Late 2000s CGI/Game Models
Heya - About this new handle : IMHO it's really just a matter of looking at the reference in a more investigative manner. "How would this be built in the real world ?" Obviously this would be achieved by carving details over a smooth wooden handle. Meaning that the surfaces that are not carved in will have continuity since… -
Re: Early-Late 2000s CGI/Game Models
Correct, timber bas relief especially - many disparate cultures share that ethos given their tools and tribal history. Personally vertex inflate method would've been the tech I'd use, can be both rapid plus non destructive besides. -
Re: Early-Late 2000s CGI/Game Models
I know that, but I still struggled with this one more than other things I've made for some odd reason. I also know that, but I was more curious on how hard surface things with sharp edges like this were sculpted. Additionally, I was trying to get a feel if someone had to make this in the early 2000s, which is why I box… -
Re: Early-Late 2000s CGI/Game Models
Make a thread in Showcase & Critiques. I know its frustrating to feel a gap between imagination and execution, but I promise it shrinks the more you do, and the more you fail. Failing is good - just try not to make the same mistakes over and over again :smile: What I will say is that in a production setting this axe… -
Re: Early-Late 2000s CGI/Game Models
Its a good attempt. I guarantee you that after you've made 20 things like it you will understand the process much better and how to achieve the results you want. There are no shortcuts - you've just gotta do the time. :) -
Re: Early-Late 2000s CGI/Game Models
That is what I tried with this attempt: I tried a box modeling attempt, but I am still not all that satisfied with how it came out. It's difficult trying to get the silhouette. -
Re: Early-Late 2000s CGI/Game Models
Leaving aside the fact that no one would put this many polys into an axe handle in the early 2000's, sometimes it is/was one vertex at a time - This is why one of the top best practices is to build a shape with the least possible detail, then iterate over it. When to increase subdivs, when to add support edges,… -
Re: Early-Late 2000s CGI/Game Models
Mirai did have soft selection, yes. You had to define its radius by selecting elements on the mesh and it was pretty fancy from what I remember. Surface- or volume-based depending on your choice, lockable too - I think. 3ds max gained these features over time. Maya had its soft selection tools revamped at some point, not… -
Re: Early-Late 2000s CGI/Game Models
In the 90s/early 2000s, did softwares like Mirai or Maya have soft selection during that time period? I'm working on a Leviathan Axe from God of War. I made one in Maya but I wasn't all that satisfied, so I went to blender, something I'm much more well versed in. Something I struggle with for this shape though, is making… -
Early-Late 2000s CGI/Game Models
Making a new thread so the texture one can stay textures and this one can stay models Now that I have gotten many helpful responses on my other thread, I now have questions about MODELS. I found this book that goes over creature modeling from the person that worked on the King Kong movie in 2005,…
