whatever happened to APNG's?

Weren't those the new gifs?

They also took up a shitload of space. D:

Nobody wants to use them since they're so big. <3 GIF

Render looks sexy, can we get some closeups?

[kid908]

It looks alright. 8-10 hours to model something you could've simply drawn out with the polygon tool, or made with [cue dramatic music] booleans?

Image on the left is the wireframe(black lines are the wireframe, well more like black sides, lawl). right is the final render of the mesh. it's around 50k tris and i made each curve manually vertex by vertex. so yes it took 8-10 hours. also boolean sucks and leave a very horrible mesh.


@animated gif of mc: looks really good. the gif killed the quality but atleast it's still better than youtube =P

[Reaper Man]

Dear god, you should've made it with NURBS. Also, yes, booleans leave messy meshes, but what you've modeled was simply for rendering purposes, so big deal.

[Sel]

that is a good mc you have there

it walks very nicely too

ye i should have use nurbs but ive never been able to useitwith flat surfaces. and im very ocd about my mesh being clean but i had time to kill so

So I started this around 8, and finished around 10:30.





All was made from scratch (talking about the textures of course. Model is bungie's too, plus the cubes) EXCEPT the normal map bungie made. I used it and added the scratches to it. Two problems I have with it right now: The detail bump I've got on it makes it look like stone when viewed up close (or at least it's too pitted, maybe not stone). The second thing is when I put the scratches on the normal map, for some reason they got raised like 4 pixels up, so I need to fix that.

Heading to bed, so I'll check back tomorrow.

So, you used a premade model, premade normal map, added a detail bump( which is no feat at all) and a very sub par diffuse map from what I can gather, and then you have the right to say "all was made from scratch"

That is a slap in the face to real work.

You did nothing, no offence. I saw the pic and actually was impressed until I read what you had actuallu written.

[Roostervier]

By all I meant diffuse, specular, and gloss, heh.

e: If it's completely custom work you want, I've got that too. Check the textures in my gallery thread. The paint is obnoxious on the wall and floor textures, but aside from that I could use some crit on it.

e2: here, quoting my post

So uh, I made some stuff. Still WIP since I'm getting crit from people.

Anyway, I made this floor around 2 weeks ago. It still doesn't tile properly because I haven't fixed it yet.

One that isn't overly bright and is in marmoset:


This wall I just made today.

Marmoset:


And a screengrab from max after I got it to tile:


Things other people have told me:
Make the paint less bright

Also, if you dislike the scratches, say so. I'm not a big fan of some of them myself.

[SMASH]

I really like that rooster. I unfortunately have never been able to get the hi-res to normal map thing to normal map thing to work...
