So i have been super lazy in posting in my sketchbook thread so here is a mock-up i made in unreal for just to showcase the sword and shield i made for aderyn's cradle a game project i am working on.
minimoose: none of these are exactly meant to go in game (except the sword)... I was just trying to show that I could model and texture in the style of Blizzard. True, normal maps aren't used in WoW. The armor set was just to demonstrate style. :P
20 minute photoshop sketch tonight. No real plan in mind, just started scribbling and it turned into this. I erased his right forearm, hand and sword about 5-10 times during this ... and it still isn't right. Oh well! MoP
There's a keynote speech by Iwata up on Gamespot. http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/09/15/news_6133389.html There's also some video of how games could be played. The one that really got me excited was the flashlight example and the sword fighting one.
Learn to program in the language or game making tool of your choice, first. The first step certainly isn't loading up a free webpage with pictures of men holding swords. http://www.gamedev.net/reference/start_here/ creators.xna.com is also a good place to learn.
We also just did an new gameplay trailer, and big news is the CVB who used to play with Celtic Frost is doing the music.! [ame] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rw1ek3H8yl8[/ame] some new gifs of the frost axe sword.
spec-tacular! Get IT?>! haha great piece man the ringmail is perfect and everything is well done, no crits, but can we get a posed version?! that would rock. i feel like alot of the polys in the sword could be reduced tho. -Woog
Materials don't look like real materials to me. Like sword hilt is super shiny and most armors' texture seem random. Do those armors have thickness ? Armor also seems to float above the character too much.
Here is my last work a gladiator of my own , i wil put 2 sword and do rigg soon and lastly make a pose and put it later in a full 3d scene envirment. This was done in 3d max and 3d max render.
Here's the sword: I would appreciate if someone could tell me what are the main problems with this character. I know it might be ugly, but I can't see it yet. I just wanna be aware of the mistakes. Now I'll move to the retopo.
