• Need ideas to train myself
    11 replies, posted
So I've been doing models for about a year an a half but I haven't really made any models for at least a months since I don't know what to do... If anyone could give me some ideas on what to model, I'd be really thankful! Thanks a lot!
Anyone please?
model a person from a photo reference. or find a concept sheet on deviantart or something similar and model that. also, 3 hours between posts is not very long.

Thanks for the suggestions ;)

[/QUOTE] It can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours at minimum, so don't worry about it. Sometimes it even takes a few days. It's generally noted that if it takes more than two weeks to get a response, either people aren't interested or they don't have a response to provide.

Do YOU have any ideas for me? ;)
Model from this concept art: [url]http://artbymatt2012.blogspot.com/2012/06/blog-post.html[/url]
[QUOTE=harfang;44899805]Do YOU have any ideas for me? ;)[/QUOTE] I do, but I'm afraid the only reference images I can find for them are either extremely blurry or extremely small. However, assuming that's not a problem, I would suggest trying to re-create a few weapons from the Dynasty Warriors series. A few in particular I'd suggest would be Guan Ping's [URL="http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130518073058/dynastywarriors/images/3/35/2nd_Weapon_-_Guan_Ping_%28WO%29.png"]giant blade[/URL] and [URL="http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130518075933/dynastywarriors/images/0/0d/4th_Weapon_-_Guan_Ping_%28WO%29.png"]young dragon[/URL] weapons, and the [URL="http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130309013323/dynastywarriors/images/2/2b/Great_Blade_-_4th_Weapon_%28DW7%29.png"]rune blade[/URL] weapon. I wish I could find better reference images, but these are sadly all I have to go by.
The best way for you to go about this would probably be to come up with something [I]you[/I] want to make on your own. People can suggest ideas, but those ideas probably come from their own tastes. Why not browse art you enjoy for ideas or replay a game / re-watch a movie you thought looked cool? Surely there's something out there you find interesting and want to remake for the hell of it.

I looked up some weapon from Dynasty Warriors and there are some really cool ones! I've done this: [url]https://sketchfab.com/models/abd4febbddb048038dfb37c78686285a[/url] Based on this: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/9mAMlGU.jpg[/IMG] Any though about it? :)
Not too shabby. Comparing your model to the image, the handle segment seems a bit too thick towards the base, as well as a bit too long. The blade segments also seem a bit short in comparison to the image there. Other than that, it's pretty good.
