Random WIP 2006-2011

[Wolf-In-Exile]

gmn: try using a reference when modelling humanoids, map it to a plane and stick it behind the model.

smoth: thanks, felt something was off there but couldn't spot it.

Argh: slight resemblance in the silhouette and head, but it was inspired by a completely different source. Thinking of changing the guns to hands instead, doesn't feel like they fit the design.

[smoth]

no prob. Neat looking model, what are you making it for though?

Thanks for the tip! Do you have any recommended sites for that sort of thing?

[Wolf-In-Exile]

There's tons of other good references on the net, just google it, but not at work since you'll probably come across some NSFW references.

Smoth: just some concepting practice to eventually move away from making generic-looking mecha, still not decided on where to use it.

[Guessmyname]

Started texturing (just pasted in photos so far). Also: weapons (spiked club, axe, shield and massive two-handed anti-cavalry sword/cleaver)

EDIT: Update

[rattle]

Full bright shots please (emission = white, specular = black)

[Tribulexrenamed]

Felt like modelling some fantasy stuff for a change. I think it worked out quite well, though I'm not too happy with the legs and waist.

I might continue this into a small mod, partly for fun and partly to sort out a working close-combat system for good. We'll see. If I continue this, it'll be something like Warhammer Fantasy, though it's not a direct conversion (I know nothing really of the backstory or rules, I just like a lot of the designs, especially the Chaos ones)

Sexy legs and hips

[daan 79]

That is very nice it will turn out great

[bobthedinosaur]

nice, make limbs hack off able

[Hoi]

Wip, need critique.

[Guessmyname]

The basic shape is interesting, but the back could do with more work - it looks like it just ends abruptly at current

[Neddie]

Wip, need critique.

Bladewing? I like it, the texture will be a huge element in a model so physically simple, however.

[Guessmyname]

Okay, these are two pictures with the texture at different resolutions. The first is 256x256, the second 512x512 (the size it was created in). Personally, I think I can get away with 256, if I mess around with a few things a bit (most notably the shield). What do you guys think?

Also, blue bits are team-colour. Think Celtic woad

[SinbadEV]

You could go with 512x512 and just map 4 or more humanoid model variations to it... of course you knew that.

Unless these guys are quite large on the screen, at a typical play-distance, the 256 should be fine. Might have to smooth the shield out, but probably not. I wouldn't sweat it too much.

[Noruas]

Guessmyname or anyone else interested, would you be interested in modeling people for my mod, if it had fat women in long team-colored dresses that had shotguns that can be spawned at a whore house in a mod?
Or a sheriff with a bazooka and a machine gun?
With dual wielding bandits that can one hit K.O. with a knife?
And horses too!

[Hoi]

Better, gmn?

[REVENGE]

Better, gmn?

Hey, I know you've intended this to be part of the Wipeout mod you're making, but really consider adding some guns to either the wingtips or the center body for a great Bladewing remake.

[Hoi]

Lol maybe, with some changes.

[Warlord Zsinj]

That design looks really familiar...
