[QUOTE=FloaterTWO;50550830]You should list what models you used. I'm sure somebody with an interest in that sort of thing and the knowledge to do so might be able to actually make them a reality.[/QUOTE]
Well in that case I used the Generic 80s spec ops guys that simkas did as the base, recolored the paratrooper helmets from the Cold War British guys, stuck the vest from the BSAA guys on and called it a day.
Only 2 props used. The bumpy surface for the rocky cliffs and the rocky ground.

Not completely satisfied with the ground though since in some regions it seems to be black for no reason, will have to fix texture.
Oh my god, make more please
holy shit give me that stuff right now it's perfect for something i've been planning

I still have to learn what files to upload though.
I have a giant mess right now since I have stuff going like this:

When I started learning this I made folders called blender_stone and stone_1, which obviously provide massive confusion. I'm not sure if by renaming it I will crash/break it, but I can give you the files themselves.
Here's the files themselves in those folders: [url]http://www.megafileupload.com/70t0/cliffs.rar[/url]
Also, I thought of making them not as effects but rather as props with a small plane as a collision grid so that one can use the prop resizer tool on it and make it big or small instead of having 10 different props like Mask's effects. That way one can reuse the same rock/cliff in multiple ways such as stretching them or making them thicker to add variety.

So far the columns I've come up with from first to last one.

Last one I just made is called an Ionic. Going to try to figure out how to do the most difficult one - the corinthian.

Just generic standing around. I was just doing multiple poses for practice in the same area and playing a bit with lighting.

posing done for now, time to start lighting[/QUOTE]

Finished it the same day, never got around to posting it. Didn't turn out like I wanted it too :(
I don't know why but I'm getting the urge to critize all the flaws in this picture, sorry if it's too harsh:
There are flaws in the objects' lighting etc. Starting from front most to rear most:
Closest trooper's right shoulder pad has an unexplained black outline
the left-most car's textures are very low quality relative to the rest of the models given how close it is to the camera
the rimlight on the rightmost trooper is too strong
the object's lighting doesnt make sense: the speculars on the gas canister and absolutely 0 shadows it casts, the blueish dark color of the sidewalk/pavement doesnt fit with the lighting on the barricade props to the right, there's a weird object just right of the further car's rear wheel that's clipping through the ground a bit, the cable above the middle most trooper is extremely low polygon, the metal pole above the left most trooper's head has inconsistent fog (right is no fog, left suddenly has a fog pass)
none of the obecjts are really casting shadows other than the two troopers holding the corpse/wounded armored robot thing (which itself is not casting shadows)
And above all I can't really tell what kind of situation/scene you were going for, it's unclear what's going on or why - why is that trooper holding the phone, why is another taking aim (probably at a nearby enemy while the rest are all being casual), etc
I liked the first pic's composition more, I don't really get why you cropped out so much of it out after taking the time to pose it. the background is just as important as the subjects if not more.
Try and redo your composition slightly, and redo the lighting, try and use more lamps to lighten your scene; if something isnt casting shadows properly make up for it by placing invisible props inside of that something - better than nothing. If your speculars (shiny envmaps etc) don't fit the lighting, take them out with mat_specular 0 in console. It's a shame seeing posing/in-game effort like this go to waste with weaker composition/lighting/post
Thanks for writing all that, I don't like it much either :P
I noticed the issues with the rim lighting (too bright, black outline) earlier today, that stuff is mostly lazy photoshopping. My biggest issue with it is that I had no real general idea on what I was going to do with it, I just sort of plopped random ragdolls down doing things and threw lighting down on top of it. I think the scenebuild is pretty good though, so I'll probably use that later.
Oh well, I figured I'd post it because I spent so much time on it and I can learn from it.

You really need to work the faceposing Volf. Other than that, your poses are always pretty nice, it's just that the faces look strange
That'd be wise.

It's that particular head model on the guy on the right. It always just looks....

Metric fuckton of pictures coming your way but dammit it's worth it. These are all from my Rebels vs Combine thread. We've had some really amazing content posted in there and these deserve to be seen by more people instead of being tucked away in the thread.
Also there's some of mine in there because I'm a needy, conceited bastard who craves praise and attention.

badass as fuck.. it's like looking at a breathe of fresh air compared to all the WWI / WWII shit,
How many WW1 screenshots have you honestly seen here without trying to passive aggressively make a point that's already been done to death?
No editing on this one, just poster 2 and resized it. Didn't use soft lamps, shadow of arm on knight looks screwed up. Just the classic two lamps and a lightbulb. Testing out props.
[IMG]http://www.wduwant.com/index_uploads/uploads/9811048b15ee.jpg[/IMG]
What in the fuck that looks really damn good the setup on those textures must be really fucking tricked out.
Oh my yes holy hot damn I like that.
Really kind of blown away by how quickly you got into this modelling thing of yours and they already look fantastic
the overly detailed and bumpy surfaces look horrible in my own opinion. it's very pronounced here:
[img]http://i.cubeupload.com/JoHlwx.jpg[/img]
it doesn't look realistic, it doesn't look natural, it's like overdone tessellation - all geometry and no detail. plastic, play-doh, like ripples or vibrations are running through the rock. it works on the big vertical cliffs better but the ground looks like dogshit. tone it the hell down especially in the mossy parts. and get some normal mapping going already.

He really shouldn't tone down the geometry - textures should never be prioritized over geometry, especially in ground models and even more so when the goal is for poses and non-gameplay purposes. He just needs to tweak the textures to better suit the geometry.

e: for everyone that disagrees with me: as someone who works with ground modelling as part of his profession, I can assure you you're wrong, take it or leave it. And I didn't mean that CK's models were rich or perfect[/B]
[QUOTE=VIoxtar;50574504]it's what makes it rich.[/QUOTE]it's far from rich when it's poorly done
[QUOTE=VIoxtar;50574504]bumpmaps/textures are just not enough[/QUOTE]the fucking thing doesn't look like it even has a bump map. are you going to make a rock with geometry only? this isn't the next Pixar film, this is the damn Source engine. seriously look at this shit, are you going to let this slide:
