The random model thread!

Ok, i've finished modeling the head

And here's a render with Blender, this is the kind of mood I will try to establish in the sequence.

superb edgelooping work. Can't wait to see what you do with zbrush to get the subtlties of the muscles.

The refletions suck a bit in hl2 teddybear, good luck with that

I love replies like these! Really makes me open my eyes. It was the normal map that was too strong, making the face look like wax. All fixed now Thanks!

Model viewer shot (finally got the normal map working in mv! this is why I didn't see what was wrong before):

Too strong? Wth? The high specularity was great! I loved the first shots...

But it wasn't specularity, it was bad normal mapping I will add specularity later. I think the lighting fooled you (well, me too). Being able to see the difference with normal map previewing in HL2MV I think you will change your mind though.

Yeah, seems so.

Wfr, Sindwiller

Post a pic of the normal map please!

A speedmodel made in Silo, i'm saving it for Silo 2 Beta for some sculpting and then i'll normal map it onto the base

that's the normalmap i used teddybear, but i think it has rather an issue with the reflections

entity very nice lowpoly model, you should post that in the lowpoly contest of the month

good idea, I might have to delete some loops to lower the polycount

i hope to finish all these "realistic" models within next week so i can finally finally move over to my little personal project. i finished a first texture for it today. it's supposed to be kinda on the cute and cartoony side. but since i dont have the skill to texture 20 or more models in the same continuous style, the day i find a willed texture guy for all the models, will be awesome

till then i'll just work on it as good and motivated as i can

Wow, very nice SnipaMasta! Youre using 3dsm?

Silo 4 the win!

Wfr, Sindwiller

nice acumen, I like the cartoony look to it.

Snipa, thats a nice bomb. /waits for skin

entitiy, good speed model but for some reason i like the nonsmoothed version better, maybe perhaps its the claws look better to me. Its still good nonetheless

entity the smoothed version loses its muscle definition. THe lowpoly still has the hints to it. Might keep that in mind.

I know, as I stated in my post I will be using Silo 2 to sculpt on it, so just think of it as a base mesh

sweet, good luck
