You're all spoilt little bastards with your 2048 textures and fancy ass specular so the glorious residents of #Model_Design challenge you to do something different.

Two textures, a 256x256 and a 128x256, no normal maps, no glow maps, nothing but a diffuse, and for the model, Bobo's classic Bunker.
This was originally a 24 hour challenge, but we understand that so many don't remember how to work so small, so you have a week.

Here's your download, may require some effort on your part to sort out

And some inspiration from Qube, Bobo and DH

I only know how to work at 296x194

weeeeeEEEEEEEEEE

edit: 1

Holy shit yes! I am super busy atm but I would love to give this a try if I find time. I believe I did the "blue team" skin back in the day? ;o

Wow, I remember doing this one a loooong time ago. The result was terrible. But it was the first (only?) skin I applied to a custom Q3 character that was playable. I'll give this another try. Got nothing better to do atm.

Bring, bring... Mr Kettle?
Yes this is Kettle, who is this?
This is pot, you're black.

Ground plane, reflection, fancy specular shader... fail.

A real man would have hand painted the reflections, OR mirrored the world so two models would have touched heal to heal, instead of using some fancy nancy boy shader.

Cool challenge tho. =P

how do you know that isn't what Bobo did?

Perhaps becasue YOU are mr. fancypantsshaderman and you can spot fancy specular and raytraced reflection when you see it???

mmm, bunker!

*to the tune of the song by justin timberlake*

"I'm bringin' bunker baaack"

gave it some first strokes

looks like fun!

I started a head tonight



couldnt resist this ref:http://img1.eyefetch.com/p/wd/912321...16a757418l.jpg

yay! ill fite u #md.

Usually you'd have me in a second for this but I've got so much work to do this week.

As an alternative, I may also finish this bastard:

I'm coloring it like I color my illustrations.

colored outlines and all.

never painted a face before and never anything this lowpoly or res. but i like the way its shaping up.

Slow like snail!
at least i have a week

aaaah why right in the middle of an important exam week! waah! .

This is the reason we wanted to do this.

In this day and age, it's all about complex shaders and multiple maps. It's not just about painting anymore.

Yours is coming along great! Keep it up!

Decided to go with finishing Eddy instead, since I already had a sort of color scheme in mind for it and there are fewer questions about where to go with the choice of color and such. Also, better/more personality.

I'm probably just going to replace the image here a bunch of
times until I think there's enough change to warrant another
image reply.

HntrLuc: That's fucking great work. I love how happy he is.

willy: Great start, man, especially for your first time doing something like this.

Quick work in progress.



Don't know if I'll do the entire body but I'd like to finish the head. This brings back a lot of memories!

- BoBo

update.

I reuved the entire head. Sorry Bobo, but the uvs weren't to my liking. :p



Doing some old school toon shading with inversed tris.

I hate the way some of you bastards say quick and then show something super awesome. yes, i'm pointing directly at you, BoBo. <3

I'd love to give this a try when I have some time, maybe this weekend. they all look great so far!

first time for me to texture this kind of stuff... it´s not "real" textured i played a bit with the textures from BoBo and Noel...i hope you don´t mind ...for me it was great to learn and study the accuracy in these textures and how difficult it is to achieve ...

head is done.

Messed around a bit until I came up with a color scheme and level of detail that I felt was appropriate for the style I'm going for.
