[GALLERY] Rob's WIPs

But srsly, time to get crit on my latest models.

First up, My ODST helmet:

*posts old thing to make new thing look better*

Lol omg. I made that in 2006. My first attempts at biped modeling were epic fail.

Hopefully I've improved since then:

The one on the right is the helmet WoL made for the ODST biped for Bridge- I included it because I want my helmet to go with the same biped as a different head permutation.

I modeled a high poly reference version first- the superhigh LOD ingame will have about half the poly count of this make that about a third.
The knobs and stuff on the side are placeholders for what will be eventually textured in.

So, yeah, aside from the detailing and shape tweaking that I have left to do, what do you guys think?

Nice work. I like it. Looking forward to seeing more of this. :awesome:

Looks good.

It looks to me like you pretty much used my helmet as a geometry reference to get the proportions right so your helmet didnt look like shit ;o

heh, you'd think so, but actually I didn't import that model until the helmet was basically as it is now. I plane modeled based on my front- and side-view sketches:


Although I did import your helmet for the very purpose of double-checking my proportions. So yeah, I guess you're right. ;D

oh you BSer. I tried modelling the helmet from those proportions, di'int wurk. LIER.

WoL's ODST head looks like a huge sad face from the side.

That looks nice Rob.

Well, I was modifying the proportions as I went- for example, I shortened the visor considerably- and it turns out I made the same major proportion changes as you did. Great minds think alike, eh?

e: oh what the heck. Have another WIP- if you'll recall, sometime back I was working on an mp conversion of the first level of Doom 95. So recently I started work on a new room for that:

bonus points for anyone who figures out what room this is from the original Doom map.

Holy shit. I LOVE those helmets, ingame now mister. D:

I hope we actually get some use out of that.
