The "Model/Skin" Pimpage/WIP Thread V7

[< Bird Poo &]

I'd love to get into modeling for source. I figured you guys could recommend me some program to start as I am completely oblivious to the subject. (I'm sorry if I shouldn't be posting questions here, I just thought this didn't deserve a new thread.) Thanks in advance! :smile:

I figured I'm gonna give blender a try!

There is just something about combine weaponry that I love and that my friend is just beautiful.

Grab a student license for 3ds max or maya as I've heard blender can be a pain in the ass to learn.

I already went through the first tutorial, however the cup handle looks retarded :v:

My biggest beef with the program so far is having to get used to right clicking stuff..

[Shirky]

At first I used XSI and hated max, thought it was stupid and that Id never be able to make stuff with it. Now that Ive actually spent time with it, I love it much more than I ever did XSI.

The hair is a quick mockup. I'm trying to decide whether he should have hair.

How many years you been modeling for, John?

[notexactly]

Has anyone ever done anything with a copper material that they wouldn't mind posting the diff/spec/gloss maps for? I'm having real trouble getting it to look right. Non-PBR by the way.

I textured a steampunk blaster that had a dirty copper texture as the base a few years ago, if you're looking for source implementation.

It uploaded in full for gmod/sfm on the workshop, but if you don't feel like picking those up, here's just the textures: [url]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/21161113/disent_materials.7z[/url]

looks more like brass tbh.

Yeah. I wouldn't call my finest hour in material definition work, but the framework is there to tweak it for copper.

diffuse/spec
roughness can be whatever you want
in source, put it in a separate material and tint the envmap

Looks like a weird R-9A

I imported a map i made in hammer using wall worm and i wanted to see if i could add in water in post. Well... this is going to be difficult...

I just discovered the Paint Object tool in 3ds Max, and is it ever easier to make trees now with good looking branches. I had placed them all by hand before which took forever to get right.

John, do you sleep?

[Lt_C]

[QUOTE=surfur;45590647]John, do you sleep?[/QUOTE]

Maybe john sleep-models. It'd make sense - I'm guessing that for his 100th max tutorial, he'll finally break down how he set up his neural link with max.

[Joazzz]

he sleeps half a brain at a time

Just got around to trying this, it looks awesome, thanks!

Had a go at redo-ing the brass a similar way - I think it's too heavily saturated, and the whole thing needs dirtying up, but I'm quite happy with how it looks now, considering how long it is since I've done much 3D work.

Edit: pretty happy with the materials now, just need to grunge the fuck out of it.

I've been sitting on this guy for a long time. I know someone else has made him as well, but since his is more Generations based, and mine is more from the old art of him, I think I can release him one day.

Here's another I need to finish.

Speedmodel - About 45 min.
Didn't bother with the straps, obviously.

Boolean, just make sure to clean up the stray verts.
