3d models development

Should I texture my Pulse Rifle or the Elmehdi's one will be used? They are equal, except LOD. My one is three times much with all merits and demerits of this.

It's not me, who should deside. But It's always better to have two models, than one or no one.

Well, 'waiting for correction' status means that these models weren't accepted, so feel free to remodel them .

Another little project I thought needs to be a little re-worked. The texture just turned out horrible! I guess it doesn't need much polyogns, as it will be a small object in the game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAoPzUt4BGg Video!

I'm trying not to compete with active modellers with a view of efficiency.

Look closer at the spear picture. The "metal thing" is a head mount (more precisely it is one part). I've made a crude illustration how it made.

Metal texture doesn't look very good. The wood stick in one part where it seems black is somehow off - try to make it brown or something. "Metal thing" has wrong texture.

there is no texture, i asked you to add one
it is just random color

[Haraldx]

Oh... well that somehow explains something. You can get some pretty good textures at www.cgtextures.com It has many and varying textures.

I had a go at the power fist with, I'll admit, not the best of success.

What I found particularly difficult was :
a) The original image is so difficult to interpret
b) There's no real life equivalent to compare to (like with guns etc)

Anyway, here's my first attempt next to original :

Given its in-game size, I've kept the polys as low as humanly possible - should be about 62 triangles there.

It is of course, blocky, and likely inaccurate in places, but in game might not be so bad, if you look at this approximate diagram :


If it's of any use, the model is uploaded here, as Wings, 3ds, obj & texture :

I tested it with Karpov's hand model - it will fit over it, though it'll need rotating and resizing, and possibly hollowing out, depending on how the models are meant to fit together.

.... Looks... perfect! 62 triangles? Are you joking me? I hope not! And it doesn't need hollowing - the powerfist model will just be put on top of the hand model. Hollowing will just add un-needed polygons. Way to go!

Awesome. Thanks :-)

If that one's okay then, I'll stick some spikes and some green bits on it and do the mega power fist later today as well.

that will be awsome, also can you work out a bit on my spear?

I can't open .max files - if you can re-export and upload it as a .3ds or .obj or something, then I'll have a look later on.

Nice fist, can you straighten the fingers? it is needed to rig it to the character's hand.

Hi, I have been a little slow with this lately. New animation: Rocket launcher, just holster, walk and shoot. No "weapon on back", sorry, but that is not inside the animation, I can add that later. It takes some time to place it correctly, and I figured it was not actually needed. I changed the kick animation, someone pointed me a thing about it, and he was right, so I modified it. Also I changed the Walking animation, I think it looks better, but please let me know if you see something that can be changed.
  In the video I show some textures I had for the character.

Oh, another thing, if someone wants to model the Rocket Launcher go ahead, that model was something I created as a guide for the animation and is not optimized.
