3d models development

It's an artistic impression

The APA was made after the war so I wanted it to have a more modern look and at the same time to be a bit wastelandish.

I've replaced the retro ruber-hose-joints with a cyberpunk metal-machine-electronic-thing and made the rest in a unpainted, brushed metal look, Boba Fett style.

That's how I think it would look.
I can give it another shot making it more plastic like.

ADDED:
I did use the PA texture layout and elements, if there is another UV layout then post it. Making a texture and then making uvs based on the texture is a bit silly.

Typical mistake: APA does not have the mask, it is a normal helmet. Back side is just covered by shoulders. It's ugly, because it's still completely untextured.It lloks pretty, but it's completely wrong (in addition to it's incompatibility), especially the helmet. My only "fail" is wrong colors, it will be fixed on a final texturing stage.

Model in center is perfect, is it your work?

How about something like this?

Awesome Power Armor, but it is not dark enough for APA.
But as a re-texture for PA it is awesome:

Hands, shoulders, feet and helmet are textured by old Van Buren textures. The new one looks much better.
May I ask you to retexture the rest parts of PA with the same style? As I understand, you have the source textures.
I have a future plans to fix VB PA to it's normal shape. So good textures will be the great help.

Do you see just the colors, not the shape? Should I repaint my model with coal-black and coyote-brown colors to make it "perfect"?

Yup, do this please because your way of texturing obviously destructs lots of people. Just make it black and glossy please

Sure, just tell me the names (or pattern of names) of the textures you want me to pimp.

Not sure if the tone matches 1:1 but for now it's the best I can do, the helmet will probably need some more love.

Very nice job. I think it would work for APA texture as well with photoshop colorizing tool. It's easy to manipulate so we can make few versions and cast a vote. About Gray APA - very nice model, and helmet is also ALMOST perfect. I just think forehead need a bit love and it should be little more wider.

I'm still learning to hand paint textures with photoshop, so maybe in near future I will be able to help makin' these looks way better.

Awesome.

I've changed some elements, but generally it is much better then I can do.
It will be a really good basement for APA texture, thanks a lot.

Oh damn, it looks really good! Way better than VB PA ;p
Can't wait to see APA ! (and CA)

[wezu]

Damn, that does look good

I can make a small tutorial on how to turn a 'vanilla' texture into something better, it really is easy you just need a good base texture (like metal in this case - google can provide them in any amounts) and some know-how.  Someone interested?

[runboy93]

Good job as always
Just keep going.

[bikkebakke]

holy poop that armor is awesome ^^ nice job

Van Buren's Power Armor texture wasn't finished anyway. It has been a very early wip.

The new texture is really good.

[Gray]

Lexx, got you again! Haven't you tested my early export of APA yet? I have no information about it since april!
Just tell me, is it functional?

P.S. End of work on the Metal Armor is near.

The textures are a little dirty, but the mesh is complete.
