[GALLERY] Moses's Artwork

I've decided to start a artwork thread since I'm gonna be churning out models I can use in a portfolio.

Shadow Armor Megaman from Megaman X6



idk how long this took me but it's fully rigged and unwrapped

3288 polies.

Static Cloud Grenade from my own head:lol:



Go here for a description, there's too much to explain.

Mithrodin from the designs of Kit Rae



This is a sword that just caught my eye as soon as I saw it and I just had to model it.

1817 polies

Wing Gundam from Gundam Wing



This is a model I've made several times but this time i'm alot better than I was before my last attempt. I'm going to unwrap, rig, and normal map it and try to make a diffuse and specular for it. The OLDEST one is here . I'm embarrassed to even put it up XD
polies atm: 2570

Pretty nice stuff you've got there.

Whats the tricount on that grenade? its beautiful

http://www.modacity.net/forums/images/icons/icon14.gif

139094 polies on the grenade. i was gonna bake the details into a normal map but i never got around to finishing them. the buttons and switches also need to be scaled up and spread across the surface of the grenade more evenly cause they're quite insanely small.

I like the grenade canister thing, looks very nice.

i like that smoke grenade thing i read the description, sounds awesome

Well the render finished overnight XD.
That's all i'm doing for one day, the torso and wings.

3946 Polies

DO NOT LET TEEK in this thread.



Thank you. :)

Sorry it's taken so long for an update. I've been trying to find a way to make everything so it wont clip when it all moves. such as when the hand goes into the wrist. it's quite hard cause i'm also trying to lower the polycount of the whole thing (gundam, buster rifle, beam saber, and shield) to 8000 or less when it's done.




Polies:

Gundam - 6748
Saber - 252

Your mesh is so tidy and orderly, I can't wait to see it finished. also, I love that you model even the inside mechanics and such. + rep if it will let me

im curious as to what to triangle count is on those models, since poly count can be misleading.

When i say poly i ALWAYS mean triangle

>_>

Haha I always do that =D

I'm taking a little break from the gundam to work on some fp halo 3 masterchief arms for sigma mapping team. ironclad said they needed someone to do it so i decided to help out. so far this has taken 2 days and most of it was done in one. i just need to make the hands now.




Tris: 1800
each arm: 900

beautiful arms moses

Looks Great:)

those arms pwn. better than some Halo 3 fp arms ive been asked to Unwrap :\

well I've been asked to make a custom hand plate for the armor. we've decided on calling it the vanguard type (all Halo 3 armor permutations have names :-P )




1445 triangles per arm
2890 triangles total

also k4is3rxkh40s, I've fixed it a little while ago. it was that the chest was a bit little too wide and needed to be pulled out a bit.

Custom hand plates ftw

they look a tad 'small', the origional handplate was rather chunky and made the Chief look butch, these however dont have that butch feeling

well i cant make em much bigger without it interfering with animations. and if i make the hand bigger it'll probably clip the armor when it bends using the stock halo animations. so I'm going on the safe side. I'm not going through all halo 1's animations to make sure it doesn't clip either XD.

Edit: the hands plates aren't "Bigger", just thicker. i mean, they do go over the forearm but that again would interfere with animations.

:( ok,

after you've tested them and everything make em butch.

lol, ok

hand plates don't match the rest of the armour.

Its meant to be like an armor variant in h3.

Soo...what purpose does the custom hand plate have? Thiin metal, a right of thick and thin again makes no sense to me. And I agree with Dano. Doesn't even fit in with the arms :shake:

Other than those and, the arms and every thing is <3

hand plates didnt change in the origional armour perms.

make an interesting Spartan helmet, chest and shoulderpad kit would be more fitting

Just so it is different. Hand plates in general have no real purpose, its just to set it apart from the original arms.

look, it's not my design. donut came up with the general look of it and i changed it a little. this is what he thought up.



if you wanna talk to someone about then talk to donut. i'm just making it how they want it. if he wants me to change it to look like halo 3 handplates then i'll do it but it's up to him

yeah thats my design. i wasnt going for anything with an actual function. i was just going for looks.

what is it?

It's donuts original handplate design. he put it together really quickly i presume from splines and i changed it into what it looks like on the arms.

why dont you take the top details of teh new hand plate and put it on the base of the origional... :\ (where those 3 circular intusions are)

that would be more fitting i beleive if scaled correctly - this is onyl from what my head imagines it to be but do try with it please.

GUNDAM DO WANT.

Oh shit, who let teek in here!? The sheer fanboyism he eminates is sure to destroy this thread! :v:

Changed handplates, unwrapped and rigged today.




also, can you say Zelda?



Came up with this hand sign a long time ago but never had the idea to use it like this.

Final triangle count: 3350

yay i quite like it now :D.

blatently my idea that helped it :thumbs up:

ya, i totally agree that giving it the halo 3 base was a good idea. just had to convince donut >_>. btw, i made a short reload render.

Reload.rar

is that a custom animation, if so nice n fluent.

dont really see the hand plates though :P

no, it's stock. but ironclad's coming up some custom ones. my job is done. the arms are completely finished save for the textures. geo's doing those. i'll resume making the gundam unless someone else needs me to make something.

sweet,

might want to leave the refresh button alone for a while now, it needs to cool down. :P

update pics when skinned.

I WILL DESTROY YOU.

Looking nice

lol, looking at that handplate again i can imagine a beer bottle weapona dn reload animation is the spartan takin the cap off with it.

an armour and a convenience.

http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z..._ar_reload.gif Incredible rig Moses :)

REP HIM GOGOGO

yeh i quite like it now

so whats this then, the abnormal armour perm, hand plates, backpack jet booster filteration thingies + shoe perm?

We're possibly going to go into a custom biped, that will essentially be an alteration on the mk 6. We just need to come up with a good concept. That is, if moses does decide to be a full member <3

ok, i worked on the gundam a little bit today and then watched the second bleach movie, Diamond Dust Rebellion from dattebayo.com :-D anyway, it's late so i'm not gonna start on the gun tonight. and since i model from bottom to top , the head is last every time.



i decided to put it into bird mode without the gun or head. the shield has been scaled to 115% since this render.

The rear of the shield has too much of a curve downward. I don't believe it curves that much.

Pretty good model, how many tris?

we're quite quick to post arent we teek? but the shield has multiple different looks. i combined em into what i felt was most accurate and looks best.

http://img379.imageshack.us/img379/4...wshieldvd1.jpg

270 tris for shield, 236 for beam saber (hidden in shield), 6752 for gundam. 7258 total

and here's one my ref for the back of the shield. remember i combine refs cause none are ever the same :'(

Oh the inconsistencies of traditionally drawn anime. It's actually hard to believe Gundam SEED, SEED Destiny and 00 are actually rendered with filters. The shield will do then. I'm anxious to see the buster rifle though. :-3

lol awsome model, but why would you get obsessed about a cartoon robot/transformer thing(aimed at teekup)

Because he's a hardcore gundam addict. i love gundam wing but i really dont like seed or seed destiny. i feel they tried to take gundam wing's storyline and change it a bit and call it something new.

anime seems juvenile to me, probs because i was forced to watch pokemon at my child minder's when i was a wee laddy.

but yeh, what else is on the agenda Moses? any other un gundam wing related wip's?

Actually in SEED Futuka tried to re-tell the UC storyline but in a more futuristic way. SEED Destiny was the same only it tried to represent Zeta Gundam.

ya, gundam wing was set in UC. i never watched seed destiny cause imo it seems like a continuation of seed and i didnt think it'd be any different.

as for malloy, i've probably got something else to make if sigma has anything to say about it. they want me to join and i guess i'm gonna.

Actually Gundam Wing was an AU (Alternate Universe) like G Gundam.

hmm. that's a little different than i heard. but anyway, here's ur buster rifle and a bit extra :-D




Wing Gundam: 6752 Triangles
Beam Saber: 236 Triangles
Buster Rifle: 828 Triangles
Shield: 274 Triangles

Total: 8090 (need to do some poly cutting to get it all below 8000)

hurry up and model the head moses D:


gun looks awesome btw

This.

Also, nice job so far, great modeling. : D

The buster rifle is far too large in comparison to the Gundam. The Buster Rifle is a large weapon, but it would never stretch below the Wing Gundam's feet were it pointed straight down. You need to size it down a little.

How can you expect me not to make a terrible that's what she said joke when you leave yourself so wide open :| (pun totally intended)

Ya, didnt really notice till the render was done. i finished the rifle and was setting it up while on the phone with an Art Institutes representative and she wanted to see the finished render. clay renders take a while so i was rushing. also, it does stretch just about to the bottom of his feet.

I know how you feel man, I have to rush alot of things that should take longer
:3

i fixed it to look more like this and i shortened the shield a bit so it doesn't interfere with the shortened Rifle in bird mode

also, let's be adults about this children :-P

btw, i might just turn this into a halo biped when i finish it and make a cockpit first person.

first person cockpits are a bitch to make, iirc. I haven't made one myself, but I don't think they generally work out.

Shouldn't be too hard. the modelling will be pretty easy and animating will be simple. moving will have the cockpit move up and down a lil and the hands will move the controls. firing and stuff will have the person in the cockpit pressing buttons and stuff. the camera screens will be faces with transparent scanlines that make it look like what you're seeing is a moniter projecting what's outside the gundam.

Ohhhh, you didn't mean a vehicle, I get it. That should be awesome.

I haven't been feeling too well these past few days. think it's from these damn seasonal allergies. until this damn headache and sore throat go away I probably wont be working on my models. also, for the gundam, if i do make it a biped I think ironclad would be good for animating the fp. it'll be a little different than what you're used to but there will be a pilots arms on the joysticks so it shouldn't be much different.

well here's what teek's been orgasming over secretly,




gundam: 7075 triangles
saber: 236 triangles
shield: 318 triangles
buster rifle: 804 triangles
total: 8415 triangles

and here's a comparison of the new and old. old is about 2 years old and i shudder at the sight of the wireframe. and for those of you who are ranting idiots as ironclad puts it, the new one is the left one. and as i would like to point out to the super idiots, left is that way <-----




old is 8674 polies

WHY THE ONE ON RIGHT SUX SO BAD?1

Your polygons are so tidy. Well done

:XD: me so horny, me love gundam long tyme


Like I said over aim to you.. *looks at time* 30 seconds ago...

gr8 job, I agree, very clean modeling.

O:

Now create a launching animation. >:3

first thing's first teek. needs moar uv's and moar rigz.

you finish the arms first mister. :mad:

Basically done with them, geo has the metal covered, I'm just doing under armor, need to do elbow and I am done.

ok boys, here's what's been going on. I've been sick in bed for the past nearly 2 weeks and every now and then i got up and worked on the uvw's for wing, buster rifle, saber, and shield (which I made a totally new version based off the one they use in A.C.E. for reasons involving how it moves on the arm). I completed them right after i started feeling better and today i started on and finished the rig. if anyone could point me to a good tutorial on making inverse kinetic rigs in 3DS Max 8 then you'll be speeding up the animating process alot and i will be quite grateful :-) . and now, I leave you with a present.





Wing Gundam: 7007 triangles
Buster Rifle: 804 triangles
Shield: 218 triangles
Saber: 236 triangles

total: 8265 triangles

I could only use 32 bones to rig the whole thing because that's all halo supports so alot of things I had to find a way around. good news though is there is not clipping at all or deformities and that makes me very happy :-D

finally, I might make another gundam if this one turns out nicely when it's done. these are the candidates: Shenlong, Sandrock, Wing (already making it :-P), Deathscythe, and Heavyarms respectively

and no teek, I'm not doing a Seed gundam

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY MAKE ZERO CUSTOM. :phonegonk:

ok, I've been preoccupied with other things lately but I've also been working on the gundams IK rig and the texture. the IK rig is almost done but I stopped before i finished the right arm to work on the texture. I'm about half done with the texture and i've been getting bugged to post a render so here ya go (the specular used in the render is the diffuse map so it's not completely accurate.)

Looking great man :D

TeeKup want Gundam.

Sexy Gundam is looking sexy. =)

Hi everyone. Moses, your gundam is amazing cant wait for the finished product. I still remember way back when, when you were working with the old model(s).

SnafuPossum.....




WHAT IS THIS MADNESS?!~

ftfy

omg, wtf is that? >.< I dont remember making that and i know my spelling isnt that bad >_> lol. but those are my extremely old renders. and tbh honest ther were my firstmodels ever. man i've come a long way

that was me being bored late one night, as you can see by the spelling lol. i made that back in the biocroc days

Honestly idk y i Haven't finished the last liek 4% of the texture yet. I'm very easily distracted with other things. llama juice is quite aware of my tendency to go from one thing to another and forget about the other stuff lol. Anyway, this is a big improvment from what it used to look like, buuuuuttt I still havent gotten around to touching it in the last 4 or 5 months >_<. Hopefully this will motivate me to finish it.

Wow, thats amazing.

WHERE'S TEEK. GET HIM IN HERE NOW SO THAT HE MAY CREAM HIS PANTS IN AWE.
