The "Model/Skin" Pimpage/WIP Thread V7

[SFC]

[QUOTE=Lt_C;40532648]It's taken me days to get the model where I want it but I'm finally happy with it. Finished up the body and glass today, nacelles hopefully tomorrow. I ended up going full 2048 so I could get all the re-entry scorch marks I wanted looking good.

Then I just need to rig it to a skeleton and make some simple animations[/QUOTE]
I see a lot of Star Trek in that.

Mostl gives me vibes of the Type 6, Type 8, with a little dash of the Work Bee thrown in. Also it gives me hints of the Starship Troopers small dropship.

So this is my first attempt at UV-ing and texturing models! I made a sword and a bow. The sword is kinda shitty but I think the bow looks pretty good :rolleye:

Actually you pretty much nailed it on the head with the Type 6/work bee references. I wan't looking at anything in particular when I made it, but the target is to conform to the containers I made a while back. The shape of the type 6 pretty much lends itself to the form factor perfectly, and after getting the basic shape down, there was no way I could make something even remotely aerodynamic that didn't look like the type 6.

no trigger because triggers are a luxury

Wow dude what are you making these for??

[Juniez]

im going to see if I could get someone to compile/animate it

or else it's going to stay in my hard drive 4ever

Black spot instead of holes, 11/10 it's okay.

Well man I could get these in game easily if you want? just pm me im interested in making a pack for hl2 if thats what you want.

i can't even imagine the cost of making all those holes out of actual geometry (both in time and triangle count)

thanks for the offer! but i'm going to see what the other dude says before i make any decisions

[Zero Hour]

Alright man just let me know :)

I'm a little curious is this base on Standard timeline or alternate reality timeline other wise know as "2009" because it looks like alternate timeline.

There was a HL1 shotgun model that did that, though there was only half of the model made as the right side of the v_ was never seen by the player, but that gun had more than 8000 tri due to that if I recall.

Oh shit higher model detail!?

When will our computers be able to handle that!

The xbox 360 spas model in bf3 has those holes in actual geometry and it seems to be working out on that 2005 hardware.

[Sims_doc]

Been messing around with the Namir model from [I]Deus Ex: Human Revolution [/I] Its annoying i can't find more of theses models has anyone actual bother to attempt to extract data from the .Bigfiles?

No need to be so rude, he chose to save them and it still looks good, to me that's more impressive.

I'd like to animate those if you don't mind :D

Aren't trades etc usually engraved into the slide rather than being raised?

EDIT: oh God why did I write barrel kill me

[QUOTE=seba079;40548106]Aren't trades etc usually engraved into the barrel rather than being raised?[/QUOTE]

They are engraved, it's a combo of shit resolution and compression I guess

Alright guys, so I did a quick Mock-up model to do a test. You see, I'm trying to design an SUV that would fit into the setting of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, with a futuristic touch to the design. My question to you is, does this look like it could be in that world? I know, it's a little rusty. Needs smoothing/detail work done, etc. etc. All I'm asking is if I've got the overall "feel" right for that world, and if not, what should I do to nail that vibe? Comments and Criticism please.

The front window area looks pretty awkward, that could use a little smoothing. Also, the sides don't match the curved geometry present in the side view.

[Juniez]

maybe make the headlights/radiator grill flush with the curvature instead of being indented like that

[skeligandrew]

needs some futuristic wheel trims

I suppose I can post this here. It's a modified citizen, but I remodeled most of the collar and I made the tie.

So, I was redirected here from Models Ports Thread because, well, it's not a port. COmpletely forgot that this thread existed...

Anyway, This is going to be a practice model for porting into various engines like Source, and the Second Life engine. Started from scratch, and this is the result of today.

Thanks, I'll be working on that, though for the sides I want to keep the big "Slab-sided" look. I'm going for something that resembles this concept:

[IMG]http://blog.carid.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/2013-cadillac-escalade-wheels.jpg[/IMG]

But combine that with elements from the Volkswagen Amarok pickup.

[IMG]http://www.vanleasingquotes.com/van-images/Volkswagen/Amarok/Large/vw-amarok-green-large.jpg[/IMG]

The windows/body shape come from the Cadillac, but the Fender Flares, and the grille/headlight shape come from the Amarok.

[QUOTE=Juniez;40551540]maybe make the headlights/radiator grill flush with the curvature instead of being indented like that[/QUOTE]

I was considering doing that. I'll try it when I get back to the drawing board here.

Don't worry, I have new rims planned out for this thing. Those are just old test rims that you see there. Placeholders. I do have access to the rims in that screenshot, though I plan on fabricating new six-spoke-plate ones just for the truck.

Many thanks to you guys. Your feedback was quite helpful!

[Daemon White]

I had a tank once... I wonder where it went...

[editline]6th May 2013[/editline]

I found it.

I might texture it and put on some shaders later. Also, the ground is set to morph as the tracks drive across it, and the tracks are set to morph and move with the ground, instead of plowing right through it.
