Here the result of my work for the Turrican modeling Contest (^_^)
Maybe some of you still remember the good old C64/Amiga Game by Factor5.

You can find the Model complete with Textures and Wallpaper on
my page or the contest site.
Its completely free and can be used by anyone. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

hehe , i remember that one .. i was always really crap at it .. my bro could do it tho

The 2nd pic is my fav, I like the wide uberbeam coming out of the gun. No crit from me.

Yep, thats the Turrican all right. Good work, can we see some wires and flats?

Thermidor: Yeah I blew at this game as well.

Here the wireframe version:


The model has about 10k Polys;
I think this could be optimized a little bit,
but then maybe also normal maps should be used,
because the reflection of the environment-mapping
might get cracks otherwise...

i see some places you put a mesh smooth on? like the arm connect point for instance, thats usualy not a good way to go about building a model, you coul pretty much make a model with the same level of detail at about half the polys . it shows some good potential, but keep cracking and keep improving!

Yes, you're right - I should keep on improving :-)
This model was my first Character with skeleton
I just started with Maya about 3-4 Months ago.

I was smoothing a little around the arms, thats right.
I found the environment-map there was very ugly before;
Maybe its better to apply smoothing by hand ...
