The random model thread!

a random thing to go in a tf2 map, just wanted to give the style a try

that's great ol

Just did a little rain test for my animation:

http://www.gingerlord.co.uk/rain_test.mov

Its only 20 frames looped, hence a bit of jerkyness. Just leaves the other 17 scenes to do, all the character rigging, weighting shape animation, then all the animation, then all the post processing and rendering.

OL: The stuff is looking really good. I was a huge fan of Rock2 for QWTF. Keep at it man! I want to play some Rock2 damnit!

I did this as a little test to myself. I wanted to see how much I could push a simple cylinder shape. It took a lot for me not to add little bits and arms to it. I'm thinking of using it in a HL2 level I have planned, but not sure if I have the time. Let me know what you guys think!

Oh that's really lovely. Could be well used as a pipe or support beam. The rivets and seams (those black lines between the metal plates) look kinda painted though. They lack depth and are not as sharp.

i would say a piston. like some alien machinery. it's far too weird in structure to be a support column i believe, but a piston could actually have use of the spaces when placed inside a cylinder.

That's pretty awesome looking, though I feel that it's a bit too grungy, though I guess it depends on it's surrounding environment... But great job.

Finished skinning a boat prop for a TF2 map I'm making. It could do with more detail but I can't do much more with a 2048x10124 texture on a model this size.

i thought there was a problem with using multiple textures on one model, although i can't even remember what that was supposed to be. i could've split it into separate models, but that'd still be extra textures so i don't know how i'd be saving performance at all. it's not completely finished though, it's just at the stage where it's good enough to go ingame and therefore usually gets left like that because i'm too lazy to do anything else with it. i'm going to try different base metal textures and see how they look though, it's just harder to skin for tf2 after other games even though (or because) everything's plainer and simpler.

Hey, I see some awesome models here!!! Good job!!!

Well, this is my dear Stug III, still on WIP

If someone has some references for a mg34 or for those canisters (I must redo them, those really sux), please, post them, I really need it!

I time-lapse recorded myself modeling a thing maybe it's interesting

Good job OL... How many poly ?

I added a box thing, without any major optimizing lod0 is 5065 polys total

The texture is heavy WIP, but I could really need a little input on it:

It's mostly the weapon body that I'm not very pleased with texture-wise, but I'm kinda stuck.

how does this gun work?

where do i put my hands?
