Hey guys, I'm back. I was have wtfcomputerissues and I'm finally getting back into the swing of things... so yea I opened max and was like uh, do I still remember how to model? So here's my progress on Snaf's december contest model...
http://img399.imageshack.us/img399/3792/shipia3.png
I know it's not as par as some of my old stuff and it needs a lot of detail, I just figured I'd see what people think...
Thrusters on the back, these are used in space btw. Also I understand snaf with the black smoke, ect.Quote:

No, just designed it after a banshee top, and went from there.
Well, to be honest and frank about it, it does not seem to have any original details on it. Seems rather generic.Quote:

First attempt at organics.
It looks like its covered in grip tape.
Everything about that makes me want to -rep you. Yes, it's that bad.
@ smash: SO many things about that boat are inaccurate. Those seats are way off scale, and where exactly are those stairs leading to? Look at pictures, because right now it just looks like you were modeling from memory.
Dude....I love it.
If you were trying to make a monkey made out of dish gloves, you succeeded.
Something I made a college for the course I am doing, it is the college logo sexified a bit. Took ages, and it isnt perfect.
Animated gif.
Moving line isn't smooth.
I know, It took me long enough to make it do that. Didnt have time to make it perfect.
Edit: Didn't realise that it moved that fast. Will need to fix that. College internet is slow, So I didnt notice. Computers are also very slow...
Glow is overused on the text, the S has a blotch on it.
Yeah, and maybe make the spots blink a bit slower?
The dots need a longer frame time. And you can have that cum shot thing leave a fading contrail.
I need to slow the frame rate down, and I'm not adding more frames for a contrail. Took long enough. Its only for a ICT Course, don't need to make it perfect.
Hm.... wonder what this means? :)

Dude seriously, you need to stop using those brushes. You're not even painting, your just stamping a brush over and over and over.
Here's a random Forerunner structure I made because I was bored and wanted to brush up a little on it.

Geo made the entrance =)
Entrance hole could be more elaborate.
Yeah, Geo made it quickly and i'll probably work on it a lot.Quote:

As you might be able to tell, they are for an Isolation map I was making with some other people.
I actually like em. Just clean up the triangulation. Also are these finished? It seems like they're only seperate parts of the same forunner construct.
No they aren't really finished, I just did those parts of the bases and the other person that is making the map made the rest. he couldn't figure out how to make what I did right. lol.Quote:

I made... Pillars....
http://img370.imageshack.us/img370/82/rendergq2.jpg
Dont hurt me.
If they're supposed to be pillars that hold up a building the edges are too smooth to be considered cracked/worn. Marble or whatever people make pillars out of these days aren't mouldable - they crack instead of distort. It looks like you've put a stick of cheese in the sun too long and it's started to warp :p
Did you watch those old damaged pillar dvds, dee? Anyway, looks like you need to put more effort in them--right now it looks like... well, I can't really explain it. Like they're only 25% done maybe, I don't know. Also, your material representation seems off... they don't look like rock or cement to me. And one other thing; most of your cuts and indents don't make sense for stone or cement. They are too soft, especially the edges of the pillar. If I were you I'd take that back into mudbox or zbrush and start over on it and think of how a rock chips, or how when it cracks it usually is accompanied by more cracks in other areas. Think of areas that would recieve more weathering, erosion, or would get scratched the most.
pretty accurate really.
It's good so far, but the wheels look wrong to me. Anyone else see it looking wrong?
That's what I though, I'm going to re do the wheels.

Current WIP. I need ideas for a sky.
Update

I AV GOWT IIM ON POKAMOOON RUBYYYYYY!!
u ad 2 read brail n evrathin 2 fyt n catch iim.
----------------------------------------------------
Nice render, could do with a background though.
EDIT: Maybe add some fog around him to show that its cold.
I need to fix the yellow "eyes" though. Maxwell doesnt want to emit light inside the ice. So now they just look 2d. Gotta try and fix that...
what.. is it?
A Pokemon :) Forgot its name. Was awesome to catch though.
Edit: Regice (Google ftw)
No way in hell that's a pokemon. We all know that there are only 150.
A material you might like Dee which I just saw when I clicked on a bookmark by accident:

Poop :)
Thanks but I didn't use Vray to render.

First thing I modeled in a while, probably going to tag\release.
isnt the center thingy thicker?
The Regi's were some of the most badass pokemon I've ever seen.
Heathen has a point, I think it is thicker.Quote:

bitch, stop talking and do that crap for me that you said you would
Theres the commercial if you wanna see just how fake Jay Leno is.
As you can see we all have fair cause to hate america.
And yes Wave, I am doing the stuff :U
had a bit of time today and yesterday, worked on this:
http://img367.imageshack.us/img367/4366/oshityr1.png
Lookin' good so far man.
that commercial was so incredibly bleh.
Too much old.
WoL, normally your weapon models are astounding, but idk, I'm not really feellin it on this one. Idk, I'll have to wait and see how it turns out.
Not so much digging the sniper either. Looks too stripped...to skeletal.
Is there a reason for the odd shaped wire thing going around the front of the scope?
yeah dude the wire thing is kinda ridiculous.
Yea, its not even an hour of work, just seein how you guys like it, of course.
I felt like fucking with the weird wire thing there already, so i made a really crazy one. I don't really like it, i'm just gonna make a more traditional one.
I never understood what that thing is anyways.
It's a carry handle.
It seems poorly positioned to be a carry handle, with so little given room between the handle and the scope it would be hard to get your fingers in there.
Shouldn't it be at the center of weight too? So it doesn't pivot around the guy's hand that's holding it, or something.
Stereotypically that would be around the area above the magazine, but that depends on the materials and action of the weapon ;) Keep in mind that the barrel is one hell of a big piece of metal.
WoL, I've got a better idea for the carry handle. Message me when you can, and hopefully I don't forget.
Is the scope held in some sort of antigrav field or something? :v:
The carry handle is unnecessarily complicated. Stick with the single piece of bent tubing that it had to begin with.
i had no idea what it was until now, oddly enough. You would think staring at guns for long enough it would have clicked in my head.
Ross, i gotta disagree with you, its not UNnecessarily complicated, its complicated with a very good reason--to look really friggin weird. Because i thought it was just a weird thing until two hours ago.
It looks too weird, though. And ugly.

You realize your talking to the man that painted his face with highlighter and ran around screaming at little girls....right?
Working on some terrain, can't really seem to grasp how to model it, which do you blokes think is the best?
The first one's basic shape was created with a spline then I just basically cut it into cubes and optimized where necessary to get more variation. To me it's a better way than the second one as that's just not varied enough, I don't know. I'm bad at terrain.
Any pointers from anyone here?
With that perspective it's hard to tell whether or not it's anything more than a flat plane. That, and any contours in the plane it looks like you've tried to add lack definition. Are you trying to model something like an uneven field...? Try looking at some of the terrain that bungie has modeled.
Well it's kind of hard to explain really, I've sort of tried to add some hills and whatnot. I've looked at the models that Bungie modeled but that sort of makes my head hurt too.
I suppose I just start out with a small plane / edge and continue on from there mapping out what sort of shape I want?
Oh well, back to the drawing board.
^This right hurr is my design philosophy.Quote:

Interesting, add more too it.
Yus sur. I plan on finishing it tho. I'll give an update with renders of the interiors too once its more complete.
Nice. Now I see what you were doing while I was watching over Teamviewer =)
http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...rbine_test.jpg
Why is it all pixely? Or spotty on the carbine, and how do you add a plane and lights. This is in Maxwell btw, and its my 1st.
And how do I add smoothing groups?
This is a BR I'm working on. Obviously custom stuff is added.

Note: I will be lowering the scopes polies by ALOT. I wasted quite a few there.
Pretty nice BR, wireframe?

About 4k tris
It's very stubby, like a TF2 version of the BR.

Stop it.
Why stop? If your on a mapping team that needs a battle rifle, you model one. Its as simple as that. You don't have to like it snaf. He asked for criticism on the model, not the gun he modeled.Quote:

I like the BR, but the butt looks a little too long Z-axis wise, imo.
In the long run, its not necessarily about making the models/skins/animations/ whatever perfect, its about making it yours. Thats what makes it fun, for me at least.Quote:

Import a halo 1 GS mesh so you dont mess up proportions and make him a oval.
Well sigma wanted a battle rifle. So I modeled one. But its more shaped like h2 as far as the length goes. I like the h2 size more, so thats why I did it that way. (And if you think I'm just making an excuse to a bad model, I'm not. I actually had the h2 BR model imported so that I could get the size like that)Quote:

20 minutes, quick sketch. I am still working on the shading.
