[Nilium]

Really? Well, my timestamp on the model only goes back as far as 2002, so eh.

East, look on legs, i am adding loops only there, where could be details.

Not sure I understand, but.. I'm just saying when making a mesh for ZBrush/Mudbox it's good practice to have square polygons everywhere. You never know when you want to start adding some finer surface texture into the mesh.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not to diss your teacher, but that concept has way to little detail to base a highpoly model on. So you really need to take your artistic freedom and change that.
For example those big ass screws on the scope: looks nice on such a small concept picture but really bad and undetailed on the actual model.

[Uly]

Heyo Nate, a good start for a hipoly, but there's a few things concerning both A, the concept, and B, your execution.
The concept is missing some things that a regular ol' assault rifle would always have. First thing I noticed was that there's no bolt for the ejection port. Second, the barrel doesn't seem to line up properly with the frame of the weapon. On the two sections of the gun, with the little break in between, there's no barrel running through, which would be impossible. The barrel runs from very close to where the magazine starts, to wherever it ends, so make sure the frame accomodates for that. The stock looks very uncomfortable. |: (

On your model... The foregrip looks like a ribbed dildo. : ( We're in the business of killing, not punishing (or pleasuring) our enemies' various orifices, Nate. (For shame!) Just flatten out that bottom, and make sure the waves on the grip are made for a human hand. Your attachment system for the top of the gun's frame is looking a little weird too, though the concept didn't show much. Most assault rifles have a standardized 'mounting platform', for which various kind of scopes, dooznicks and whatnots can be attached to. I'll link you up with the most popular NA model, the Picatinny Rail (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picatinny_rail). Another problem that seems to stem from the lack of a profile concept, is how the barrel is attached to the frame of the gun. There's a different ways, but for that particular 'shape' of an assault rifle, it looks like it'd have some space to it.

http://athens.indymedia.org/local/webcast/uploads/metafiles/tavor.jpg

See the opening on the front of the gun? For a large frame like your gun, for it to be a solid volume would place far too much weight at the end of the firearm, thus making it a little unwieldy, on the other hand, he seems to have drawn in perforations for exhaust, so I'm a little weirded out by what's going on in the concept. Like JK said, you may want to take some artistic license in making it seem a little more functional.

well the old box modeling way wasn't working for me, so i'm trying the edge extrusion method. unfortunately, this has led to me not knowing what each loop is doing =/

[Nate Broach]

Hey thanks JK and Uly. Yea thats why it was way out of my comfort zone, I know nothing about guns. So I was modelling completely off of the concept. And haha I know what you mean about the foregrip, it was the first thing I knew that needed changing. Thanks for the reference and the feedback Ill see what I can do.

He's looking a bit flat. Pull the shoulders back a bit, and pull the chest forwards. The penis looks fine though, you might need some more loops for it too deform properly though /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[SeanDomega]

agreed! Rememmber the penis is one of the most flexible parts of the body and what game would be without a floppy penis? lol! Seriously though, the anatomy is coming along great bud!

[SouL]

gir:
tip: If you're going to try and edge extrusion method, block out most of the character first. Don't be worried if you can't connect an edge to somewhere else on the geometry right away.
I edge extrude 99% of the time and almost always, as I'm modeling, I have holes in my geometry.

Get the figure in there first. Block out his torso, parts of his arm, legs, etc. Even start thinking about his head, too.
Edge extruding isn't really efficient for high detail stuff. It's really only ideal for low-polygon work and for the blocking-in stage.

some WIP-sauce from tonight. right now just over 200tris. i plan on just painting the diffuse for this. trying to get back into the swing of making art. (working a full time IT job = no time or energy for art)

The concept is from my inspiration folder, i believe it was from Rune (all credit to human head studios for the concept, if that's the case) .

[Sayanora]

A lot of good work going on right now. Warby, yours especially caught my eye, loads of style with that one!

Slum, that does look like a Rune weapon, not 100%, but close. Either way, good game to model after and nice work so far /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Sorry to rain on your parade but;

For a university piece I would expect much higher quality. This looks like something from the 1980's.
Get your GI on, bake it into the textures! Wheres the bells and whistles?!

Even in the 80's with limited ram, they bothered to texture things. You appear to have just slapped most things with a "half self illuminated white emulsion", even the chairs!

Ferg: watch out for those hard 90 degree changes in geometry, like the ends of the feet and the forearms, they'll give you some problems, usually adding in some chamfers there will fix that stuff up. Or you can just seperate off those polys into a different smoothing group, that will work too.

I hear ya! When I first looked at the Unreal models I thought they were okay for what seemed to be 400 tris... But as it turns out, they're well over 500. I so wanted to take out all the wasted tris to unblockify and feminize her! But, that would kind of defeat the point of retexturing a model from an old game.

irritant one thing i see on your weapon textures is that you have eevolved very little on them , you seem to place scratching only on the edges , but putting it on each one of them wont make it credible, also , your texture lack a somesort of lightning source, , making the gun loose a bit of "volume" , play with it man , i really dig the designs of the weapons, but the textures could be improved imo /images/graemlins/wink.gif

I would like to get it to work in max, for simplicities sake, but it doesnt show up very clean in viewport. I remember those neat screengrabs of Mop and Tully's critter, how did he pull it off ? any ideas ?

Edit: Well it seems i was using a very outdated version of xnormal. It's better now .. I guess i'll use it from now on.

I have deleted WoW at least three times. My stupid friend keeps reinstalling it.

[CheeseOnToast]

Working on a base model that will have various armour options, so he's nekkid for now. My first attempt at black skin with current gen specs, was a lot of experimental fun. I'm not sure if the dust reads ok, so opinions please /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[Jaco]

Looking good CheeseOnToast! The dust doesn't read that well though, because of the specular , it shouldn't have any highlights. Also I don't think the skin is dark enough. If he is a slave (I assume he is because of the dust) he probably spends a lot of time in the sun, which would cause the skin to get darker.

[Vitor]

Cheese yes the dust has some problems but folloing what jaco said of the specular it might look good then. I'd also change the specular color for a more bluish one, now looks like he gots jaundice.

Some work on it... just photoshop painover crap to test the outfit

Should be a bit higher at least.

Vitor very cool!

[Makkon]

Prs-Phil: GIMME

Vitor, you might want to fix the tail, it's attatched right where the *anus* is supposed to be. It looks very strange because of it.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v671/Makkon/ZombieDemon003.jpg

[Vitor]

uh tail? that was her snake pet, she sat down and...... bah ok i'll fix it, i just thought no one would notice it since the problem cames from the basemesh topology, i'll try to fix it without creating too many errors... :\ and thx for the critics /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

looking fantastic makkon /images/graemlins/wink.gif

[CheeseOnToast]

Darkened the flesh, and boosted/sharpened the dust. I think it reads better now. The dust was already masked in the spec, but it was just a bit too close to the flesh tone before. The flesh spec was fine, just the diffuse needed tweaking. Cheers Jaco and Vitor.

Vitor, please PLEASE give that character something better than a bra and panties as an outfit

you've got a great unique body/head design there, dont fall back on cliches for the outfit

[skrubbles]

Vitor - listen to Makkon about the tail... that's the first thing I thought of as well.

[Fuse]

hey vitor, i think you have a slight issue with the palms and the wrist, the way it's bent makes it seem like the hand lacks much volume. I am concerned about the size of the hands as well. Maybe you can scale them up a bit.

I also think the breasts are pushed together a bit too unnaturally, i know you intend to have a tank top, but i think laying them to the side a little bit will appear more natural.

[CheeseOnToast]

Nice one KP, also looking forward to seeing this one done. I think I preferred the super gaunt, sharper cheekbones you did originally though.

add butter to the bread after the punch, heat on a medium flame. drop an egg in there, and the most important step, add a sprinkle of lawry's

Still many things to fix here and there like the collar clipping through and the straps being too thick. I'll fix that straight on the normalmap and on the lowpoly model.
