Been wanting to start work on this guy for a while. Here's a closeup of the body texture, the head texture isn't done yet.
Crazy. The image tag doesn't seem to work. Must be because of the crazy url.

[nealb4me]

Looking good Deathtrip, I have to wonder how many polies went into the Audi badges though :P

[DeathTrip]

Probably too many /images/graemlins/tongue.gif I was thinking of using 4 or 5 planes closely together with the badge alpha'd.

[nealb4me]

Hmm I think that would look a bit weird. Depending on the game engine you are aiming for, if any, just do a single plane with alpha and a bump map. It's a fairly standard way to go /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Made this jet pack real quick for a friend's Serious Sam mod. Heavily inspired by The Rocketeer film, texture painted in Serious Sam style (that explains the insanely dodged look). I went a bit crazy with the polygons cause I was allowed the budget. :P

Hi guys, I've decided to do 3D modelling as a hobby, and I like robots, so whatcha think of my Calamity Gundam so far? I kinda lost interest in it though. I think I'm ADD /images/graemlins/smile.gif (the fact that I don't know how to texture anything could also be a determining factor).

4400 tri's at the mo, and I still have to decide which of the two styles of fold I'm going to use for the cloak around the shoulders, do a lot of reshaping and add some knick-nacks. But there's lotsa optimising to be done (cull back of head etc, remove some edgeloops), so I should get something good for the 5000 tri's I'm shooting for /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[_Shimmer]

tested around, wanted to do a simple bust of a thug.

http://www.stephko.viranyi.de/WIP/thug_bust.jpg
http://www.stephko.viranyi.de/WIP/thug_maps.jpg

it has a seam since its mirrored and max doesnt support mirrored normalmaps attched..

[CheeseOnToast]

Cool Shimmer...I was wondering how to approach texturing skin for a normal mapped character and this clears it up a bit. Can you tell me what the illumination pass is doing? Is it self-illumination, and what engines support it?

[_Shimmer]

i use the selfillumination for faking SSS. So basicly i have a falloff set up in max. The more the light hits the sruface the more it will be illuminated. the map defines which areas are more illumnated, the nose for example has no real bones, so the light can go thorugh it easyly. Thats the reason why our noses are a bit red. Same for the cheeks and the ear. Less bone more illummnation + red tint.

About engine support. I dont know honstly. It was set up for no special engine, i guess it would be possible to write a shader similiar to this falloff SSS fake.

[parasite7]

Something i am working on....haven't modeled anything in a long time and thought it would be a nice break from writing business plans, design docs, and organization for my project dissonance.

I could use some tips to spice up the hair a bit.
There's something not right about it yet but I can't put my finger on it. Same for the shading of the face.

[JKMakowka]

@lkraan: hair looks fine, but the nose needs some sort of 'definition'

[shotgun]

Hey she's a cutey!
The hair is fine, I wouldnt change a thing.
Maybe, actually, make the darker tone of her flesh more pink, its a little grey for her and she is all nice and feminin. More pink!

(that sounds a little queer)

Thanks guys!
Looking at the model on my work monitor now it looks quite a bit different. Damn TFT's /images/graemlins/frown.gif
I'll add some more red/pink to the face skin because it does look too grey/brown.
The nose I do need to bring out more. I was fooling around with that before but I had a hard time with this since these anime ladies don't have nose breaches.

Ill do a little more work on mine i hope today and we can share a pimp thread.

I guess theres a while for u to go on this but notice,
using my metal skin it adds cold to your design. and if you
take it away (which you will naturally eventually will) you will lose the cold, and only have the warm tones you painted, and nothing to balance it with. So to be sure don't forget to include some colder tones somewhere.. I suppose you just didn't get there yet.

Snowfly: Nice face and hat!

Just over 4000 triangles at the moment here. Was meant to be for the weekly contest but I ran out of time ... still picking away at it. The limit was meant to be 4000 tris, but I think this mesh will only be really effective at about 4500 triangles including all weapons & equipment.

Any Ideas for his Saber yet?

[cholden]

I wanted to model/texture an object within a narrow timeframe, so I went with a shotgun. 30 minutes for the model, 30 minutes for the UV and other misc photoshop preperation, and 1 hour texturing. With more time it could have been way better, but I'm happy with the turnout.

http://chrisholden.net/sshotgun.jpg

[nkoste]

Thanks slaughter and thanks for the inspiration. Maybe we'll cross sabers some day, in which case you'd win. /images/graemlins/wink.gif I'm not planning on doing a saber though, just the skin.

Nice Cholden - it's good practice to produce something fast now and then.

http://brome.toogeek.com/stuff/crap/de_2_wip_1.jpg

[Kevin Johnstone]

You really ought to try modelling our one of these map textures so you could learn more about how to shade them
properly.
Too many of your shapes 'just stop' or 'just hover' above or below other shapes.
If you modelled and rendered one of these with a good lighting setup and from the front view it might teach you
some invaluable lessons about how light and shadow should
play across different surfaces.

Just some well meant advice.

r.

[cholden]

Good call ror, I wanted to add, Brome most of these details hold up when scaled down to 256, good for you! Now make high poly models of them. :P

"mommy, what's a thumbnail?"

[adam]

Hey Ror, I am definitely going to give that a go - would love to get the shadows down pat. Thank you!

Chris: Nice quote, homo! And thanks on the 256x comment /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[lkraan]

Great speedmodel and skin Cholden!

Textures look good AdamBrome. Maybe a little bit more variation in them since a lot of repetitive parts in them look like clones of eachother. But they're WIPs so you're probably till chopping away at them.

Started to skin the body of my anime chick.
Got a first start on the shirt and belly. Still need to do more shading on her skin and shirt and more creases in the shirt too. Making a white shirt look real is a lot harder than I thought /images/graemlins/blush.gif
Took a break from that and skinned the gun in the 2 holsters (another one is on her hip).

http://www.xs4all.nl/~tetsuo/wip/gallhound_wip3a.jpghttp://www.xs4all.nl/~tetsuo/wip/gallhound_wip3b.jpg

The bellybutton looks like it´s placed a little too close to the breasts imo.

[Marine]

nice ikraan, but tribal tattoos always seem cheap to me

[adam]

I have to agree with Marine - tribal tattoo's on a model seem like a cheap way of adding variation. Doesn't suite this character IMO.

[CheapAlert]

Skin in progress.

http://www.planetgargoyle.com/brakmdl3.jpg

[JKim3]

Brome-Marine: Ah, but she has tribal looking tatoos.

http://mshirow.free.fr/PosterBooks/S1_03/S1_03_Back.jpg

LOOKING is the important part. Yes, they're curvy lines, coiling around each other, but aren't traditional tribal. Look more painted on....by a robot. Also, she doesn't look vertically stretched enough. Stupid Shirow!

[Steakhouse]

[ QUOTE ]
Brome-Marine: Ah, but she has tribal looking tatoos.

[/ QUOTE ]

So she might, but they dont fit that character either. A character badass enough to go into combat on a motor bike with two sub machine guns (how does she drive?), with her middrift showing probably wouldnt be wearing glasses. The source art is just poorly designed all around and you have the skill to improve upon it lkraan.

[JKim3]

Meh. Shirow seems to like those tatoo designs. He also likes the porn. NSFW
http://mshirow.free.fr/PosterBooks/S1_09/S1_09_Poster.jpg
But, I'm not even sure if it's the same girl. Everything looks the same between the 2, except the tatoos and that the one without tatoos keeps geting raped by women with nightsticks or humanoids with tentacles who are made of water.

But, meh, whatever.

[KDR_11k]

Hm, on that ref her belt starts about on level with her genitals, almost her entire lower body is exposed which explains the high belly button. Gah, tht gotta be some uncomfortable clothing...

[lkraan]

Thanks for the feedback guys!

Looking at it again after a night of sleep I have to admit that these standard tribal tattoos do look a bit cheesy /images/graemlins/smile.gif
I do want to give her the tattoos but will handpaint them to look more like the concept and so they will look less tribal.
I'll post a pic with and without tattoos when I am further down he skinning road and maybe they won't add anything in the end after all.

The bellybutton is a bit high up for a realy human. But we're talking Shirow women here so things aren't where they are supposed to be /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I agree that the concept of tattoos, guns, sexy clothes and glasses don't really make 100% sense and has some big contradictions.
But for some reason I like this combination of the glasses, innocent face with the sexy deadly look.

I created the anatomy of the model a tiny bit different from the concept and other images of this Gallhound character but that was only so that she fits a standard UT2K4 skeleton.

[Steakhouse]

I'm not terribly sure when Shiro decided it was a good idea to mix 2D characters and super detailed 3D backgrounds, but if we ever needed an indicator for when someone has had a massive stroke this would be it. God they look terrible...

[adam]

Ikraan I was checking out those tattoo's again and I think, if you'd still like to keep them, that you could get away with making them more stylized - much like the image shown of Shirow's work. I checked it out and Shirow's tat design seems 'stringy'.. very loose almost.

Something to consider.

[lkraan]

I hear you Adam ... actually I heard you /images/graemlins/smile.gif
Was just tinkereing around with it.
Like it way better that the cliche tribal tattoos that I had slapped on her yesterday.

http://www.xs4all.nl/~tetsuo/wip/gallhound_wip4.jpg

[KMan]

lkraan- looks like she has leopard spots. /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Well, I saw that there were some screenshots recently released about the game that a number of us have been working on over at Mythic. 2 of the screenshots show off a few of the things that I had been working on in the last few months.

Shot01
http://www.imperatoronline.com/media/screenshots/2005-05/ss01_Terranova01.jpg
A bit of a shot at dusk on this one. I modeled and textured the large tower/space needle building in the background, and then textured the two buildings in the foreground (ChainsawXIV modeled them).

Shot02
http://www.imperatoronline.com/media/screenshots/2005-05/ss02_Mayan01.jpg
Well, I didn't make the crazy guy on the right, but I did model and texture the blown out buildings on the left, there.

These were a big change of pace for me, as I had very little experience making large tiling textures for buildings that large. Coming from making characters, it's a completely different set of rules and thought pattern. /images/graemlins/confused.gif

Been working on this environment for a while now. It's been an ongoing project among other things. I've gotten all the rooms together and most of the major parts are complete. All that remains on the modeling side of things is to finish the small details. The ceiling needs more detail and I want to do more with the pipes running along the ceiling in the hallway, the doors aren't yet finished, and there are other misc details here and there that I'll be adding

Awesome work Kevin, I dig the lighting!

one of a planned platoon of space marine faces that may end up in the WiMP mod for UT2K4 (still to hear on that). "Pearly" here is still in the juicy painting stage, a little too high-con yet, but I like how he's lookin'. Odd silhouette is because he fits into an existing spacesuit skin.

@KevinCoyle - Much of detail you have there but iam not sure about the floor(s) imho there are too many ways to get stuck and stumble /images/graemlins/smile.gif.

Almost done!

[OgrO]

Pior, I love all your last stuff, you're becoming a Gimenez maniac! /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Crylar]

looking really really cool there KevinCoyle. Hope to see it finished soon.

[pior]

Kevin, texture that now! /images/graemlins/wink.gif


Posing is fun, Skinordie2 rocks my socks.

Many possibilities regarding animations sequences. kicking in the bin, unloading it, jumping on it... /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

And Og', Gimenez is cool /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[skrubbles]

pior - awesome work... with that last pose it looks like you're gearing him up to replace your porfolio babe. lol.

As for the head, I'm honestly not sure yet... I roughed out everything else, but I'm just gonna wing it with the head... its not gonna be female though, I can tell you that much.

I'll post again when I have more to show... may be a while considering that I just downloaded the first season of Farscape. I manage to always find distractions.

[adam]

KDR: Something looks fun in the transition from the left side of her pelvic bone to her left thigh. It's really exaggerated.

Pior, very well done. I don't much like the expression on his face but everything else is tight.

Kevin, this is looking ace. What's your plan for this? Use it to create normals from?

[Badname]

pior that is so so cool. I love the sitting pose. Wallpaper! /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[KDR_11k]

Brome: I think it's just bad deformation although the proportions are (at least meant to be) pretty exaggerated.

[JKMakowka]

@KDR:
Ugg, that face is scary... either do it anime style or realistic (but if you want to do it realistic, you have to work on the face anatomy a lot!).
Right now it looks like the fat neightbour kid, with a very small mouth /images/graemlins/frown.gif

JK: Guess you're right, I'll go with a more complete anime look.

[KevinCoyle]

ironbearxl - Thanks!

flachdrache - haha, yeah, but they should be ok if they stick to the walkway.

Crylar & pior - thanks, it's getting there, I hope to finish the modeling by the weekend then start on the texturing

AdamBrome - Its primarly just a portfolio /demo reel piece designed to show a good sense of detail, environment modeling ability, and texturing. Originally, it was the setting for my demo reel, but with the short time I have left before graduation, I decided that since modeling is what I really love to do, the character animation I would have needed to do for my original demo reel idea would have taken too much time away from modeling, and would have weakened my reel overall.
I'm thinking of adding extra edges to the scanner after the environment is done as so it can be subdivided properly for normal mapping. Then putting it on my portfolio site as an extra piece to go along with a tank model I'm working on for normal mapping.

[flaagan]

http://studioflaagan.com/images/3d/magnum/magnum_wip9.jpg
uv mappin's done, on to texturing.
thing's got... 5 textures currently.. i have a sneaky suspicion that i may have a problem with some on-model transparencies, so it may drop down to 4 textures.

[EarthQuake]

blah blah, found some time to do something that isnt work related....
http://www.planetquake.com/polycount/cottages/crash/earthquake/devon01.jpg

[cholden]

pior: that's adorable, ever experiment with using a few 128s and more creative uv mapping? It's a good way to push portable characters on a technical level.

Intense stuff Kevin.

Normal Mapping Doodle, 3x128x128 normal maps, no diffuse or specs here. All generated fom high poly meshes and manipulated in photoshop. I've been making a lot of these as practice lately, usually spend about an hour on each them.

[King-Vitaman]

Practicing/Learning hi-poly. I have the rest of the body almost done too, but this is all I will show for now. Not quitting on the cellobot, just keeping things interesting. I know that the glass-part is unfunctional because of the movement of the jaw, I think I will change it so its just goggles and themouth is exposed. The material on the hood part is too dark, I changed it just before the render and wish I would have left it as light as in some test renders, it lost alot of detail because it is so dark.

Ehh.. yes a bit /images/graemlins/smile.gif

But atleast it doesn't look that fat anylonger.

I think the biggest problem is that the eyes are too far back, and the ear is too big (or something else is strange about it). I think generally your heads are to flat (in the front back axis).

My advise would be browse the cgtalk forums a bit and have a look at how other people did anime heads. Then try to approximatly rebuild the one that looked best (by looking at the wire frame). This might seem like cheating, but it is a great exercise, and you can modify or rebuild it later on with your own 'creativity'.

Check out these two threads, both by AndyH (he is doing a great job on stylized characters... anime and 'pixar' style):

[cholden]

For last night's practice model I wanted to do something low end, very low. This also gave me an opportunity to play with more creative uv mapping. This character started as a riot police officer, ended up a golden knight. Anyway, all fun, silly stuff. :P

http://chrisholden.net/portknight.jpg
2-3 hours total.

[MightyPea]

Chris: that's actually a really good idea, i'm going to give that a try soon /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[pior]

Haaa Chris I see what you mean by creative UVmapping now /images/graemlins/smile.gif Really close to what is being done when texturing buildings actually. Nice!

[KDR_11k]

JK: Actually I started by taking apart Hl1 models I liked and copying the way they were done. Continuously adding my own influence resulted in what I have now... I think I worked in a similar style three years ago.

Well sometimes it helps going back to your roots /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

No seriously I think you are doing quite good models, it is just that there is always something small but really annoying about the anatomy or something similar with your models...
Oh and btw the front hair to too far away from the forhead.

good basic walk, pior, but the bin seems weightless.

thats what makes it special /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[cholden]

Here's that low end swat guy I meant to make. It's still a bit sloppy, especially the texture, but that's enough for tonight.

Lol... that is what Counterstrike would have looked like if it had been done for Quake1.

[Mr Smo]

haha thats cool cholden!

[rollin]

damit.. i don´t want unreal-engine-3 i want some retro-game with such stuff in it..

pior and choldren.. this stuff looks so cool!!

[pior]

Chip's so right... the anim might have been more believable without the bin then. Still a rather plain and stiff cycle tho.

Heavy anim today ; once again, quick wip, no curve editing yet. Click thumbnail for avi :

http://www.pioroberson.com/files/garb_heavy.jpg (http://www.pioroberson.com/files/garb_heavy.avi)

Hmmm I'd better start a new thread for him now...

Btw what do you prefer as a codec for this kind of showcase? Mov or avi, and if avi, which one is playable on Macs? I'm using a default win codec here (cinepak) but I'm not sure if it's that 'universal' outside the windows world.

I was thinking about using plain old Mpegs too since every machine can play them but still need to find the appropriate converter.

Thanks for the input /images/graemlins/cool.gif

[lkraan]

Love the low poly stuff Pior & Cholden!

Almost done with the pants and next up are the boots.
Having a hard time with the leather material...

http://www.xs4all.nl/~tetsuo/wip/gallhound_wip6.jpg

[Renaud Galand]

not bad at all pior, but I prefere the other animation. On this one, the planted key (CStudio, right?), seems too much pronounced. Gozilla style ! /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

btw, I'm too slow when I do a freestyle texture from scratch... *gniiii*

http://www.guntharf.easynet.be/warsow/helmet_state.jpg

[Mr Ray]

eeek the low-poly man is coming to get me. lol, loving the low poly work. Ikraan, imo the pants look more realistic than the top of half of the model which is making it look weird. Looking good Renaud.

[flaagan]

lkraan... this should help with the leather... http://67.15.36.49/team/tutorials/2d_custombrushes3/2d_custombrushes3_1.asp

[skrubbles]

lovin the low poly characters you guys. Pior, your animations are coming along nicely... nitpickin that your second one seems a bit jerky/robotic, but playing with the animation curves should fix that up.

been lazy.... (guns are just placeholders)

very funny Your "fat-ish" character.
I prefere the second animation - even if Renaud think that it's too pronounced.

[animatr]

hey scrubbles, read your site, nice to see a digipen grad on here, didnt know if they existed, I have one more year myself....cool model, cant wait for a head

[ultra]

Pior really nice animation, but in second one i beleive he moves to fast for who it loads a big "box" like him. Smaller steps i think is the key /images/graemlins/smile.gif
Btw, i prefer Avi´s but im not in mac. Cheers!

ultra.

[flaagan]

diZzy - glad to be of service /images/graemlins/smile.gif

cranked this sucker out this saturday afternoon / evening cause i wanted to work on something different than my Magnum model. This multi-gun is for a UT2k4 mod i'm part of in my college's Game Dev Club. the idea is that the weapon for the space marine side is a single gun that changes to fit the purpose, where as the space pirate's have three seperate, cobbled-together weapons (someone else has already modeled thos i believe). the basic blaster mode is used when the player is flying about in space, does light damage, but fires rapidly. the rifle and cutter modes are both only enabled when a player has landed on a ship hull and is draining power off of the ship. the rifle will more than likely be slightly faster than the standard ut sniper rifle, with a zoomed view. the cutter is a tool used to cut away chunks of the ship's hull to expose areas for bombs to be planted.
things it still needs (besides texture):
-polygons for animated textures between the blades (if applicable)
-some other lil designs the guys may want on there

animatr - they exist, but I'm not one of them. Never mentioned that I graduated Digipen on my resume just listed it... I only attended one year. At the time I went the instructors weren't exactly the best... not that they couldn't do what they taught, but mainly they weren't around much to help out so I ended up teaching myself everything anyway... I figured I didn't need to waste another year paying to teach myself... but now I hear that you guys have better instructors, so I hope things are going better for you then they did for me.... as for the head, its coming soon. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[chip]

thanks for the comment on Maria 2205, KP -- oldskool pro is just fine by me.

your nippo-steampunk scene is incredible -- so meticulous. surface finish contrasts are schweet.

nitpicking: differing height of the stairway & foreground railings seems slightly out of kilter. i like the way it breaks up the linearity of that area, but for some reason that portion doesn't look as unified as the rest of the scene. prob'ly just me. and are the pagoda lights targeted for some color? they seem a bit monochrome as is.

This is what's to be a chapel graveyard scene. I haven't really set the mood, and the more I look at this, the more silly errors I see. Designed as portable game art. Total textures are currently just shy of 2x128x128 (mostly 32x32's), and the scene is around 400 triangles.

http://chrisholden.net/chapel03.jpg

btw: this was made with sony psp in mind, if any of you have one, drop this image on it for the full effect. Keeping in mind, it's not fully optimized. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Been doing this real slowly. It's supposed to be myself. It's real off though. Still need to fix the sides/back of the hair. 850 polys and a 512 for the head and 128x256 for the hair although I might knock the hair down.

http://jeffparrott.com/work/head001.jpg

[poopinmymouth]

I can see it Jeffro. I think you have the same problem I had (and still have) which is very monochromatic colors that are too clearly separated. Your hair is one pool of very limited pallete color, and then your skin is one pool of very limited pallete. See if you can get enough color variation into both so that it blends better. Really good job around the eye area. I'd love to see a bit more of that kind of definition for the rest of the face, especially for the cheek, chin, and jaw structure.

One thing I try that helps with color variation, is instead of flood filling my base color, I'll start with a completely unrelated color, or a color from another area (in the case of the face, use the hair base color) and I'll just paint around in the face area, then take the skin base color and paint around on it rather slopily so that it doesn't cover every bit. I'll try to do that with a few colors so that it isn't a picture perfect base I'm working with, and some of that color just ends up remaining, despite any amount of rework.

Hard to tell what this level really is like from screenshots. It's pretty large and complex. The first of at least five new levels to be in the pack.

[_Shimmer]

When you have a pimp thread you don't post on the "too WIP for its own thread" thread.

[Equinoxx]

You do not talk about the wip pimps thread /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[steady]

first rule of pimp thread: do not talk about pimp thread
second rule of pimp thread: DO NOT TLAK ABOUT PIMP THREAD
third rule of pimp thread: dont friggin post a link to another thread, common renardin, ...or should i say retardin /images/graemlins/confused.gif

[ryan77]

Blankslate joe I love you for that one... Make them all!

Otherwise really cool work here guys, I might add something to it soon.

[Hollowmind]

My first attempt at modelling a head with this many polies and my first attempt at a female head.

http://img101.echo.cx/img101/7315/femaleheadwip3df.jpg

Very WIP right now of course. I know she's kinda' boring at the moment. I'll add some more character to her when I get her more fleshed out. Just trying to get the edge loops right.

WIP on Pior's Aquaboy, decided to forget normal maps etc and just go for a regular skin.

[StrangeFate]

Wanted to model crazy cloth folds like in those neat sculptures so i started something small yesterday, can't give it that much time.

http://www.strangefate.com/webby/mar.jpg

**edit: the stuff there is just gonna be the hair so far.

[nkoste]

That's beautiful StrangeFate!

Boots for my jedi still in progress. Wouldn't mind some C&C on the leather parts which I think turned out good, but if anybody has any tips on how to improve them it would be nice.

Got a little bit more done, the arm muscles are giving me hell... I'm gonna give him some big sexy fish nipples as well /images/graemlins/cool.gif

Doing this WoW inspired dwarf. He is 500 tris and using a 256*256 texture.

[pior]

Wow SF! I like the idea bahind this exercise, and the execution looks so great so far!

Are you basing your model on this (http://site.voila.fr/lacart/peintres/michelange/pieta.jpg) ? /images/graemlins/crazy.gif SWEET!

[HonkyPunch]

As for me...i'm working on this thing. http://artpad.art.com/gallery/?ihhq2e13c7kc Also...
i need a name for it. I was thinking Squigglenop, or Sumodauqa (Latin for water dweller, spelled backwards.)

[flaagan]

just a lil side thing i started when i was bored...
http://studioflaagan.com/images/3d/encapsulated/wip1.jpg
the scene's called 'encapsulated' on my project list in xsi.. based offa some image from cgtalk or conceptart (dont recall).. probably gonna keep it ~ ut level polycount for stuff.. if it goes along decently, may ask about if anyone cares to make up a figure to have inside the tube.

-the minigun is a placeholder at the moment, for the final it'll be a bit more futuristic.
-the rims where inspired from the H2 =p , dunno if I'll keep them.
-i'm thinking of adding a roll cage.

[Ruz]

I actually recognied that time bandit guy from the model, then my suspicions were confirmed when i saw the textured version. great stuff blankslatejoe

[nealb4me]

yo DT

That looks cool but I don't think it has enough space for the engine. I like how the rear mud guards move with the suspension (from what I can tell) but the front wheels would rub against the bodywork when the suspension is compressed.

Tink abour it /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Slainean]

I need to finish this texture so I can move on with my life.
godmode!

[DeathTrip]

Yeah, the mud guards/gunner ladder would move with the suspension.

I see what you're saying about the front wheels, I'll scale them down a bit(dont want to alter the body).

[StrangeFate]

update, top half not done yet, just there to give an idea and the lower cloth still needs some tweaks. Keeping it all in clean SubD, although more polys and scyltping would be easier.

That's beautiful StrangeFate, wow.
