The random model thread!

[Rick_D]

oh, so you ... did ... unwrap the high poly

[st0lve]

Yeah you do not need to unwrap the high poly one

If you see Phils max to normalmap texture guide, then it's basically the same thing.

I'm just being a bit too dumb again

[Zeta]

hey at least it gave you some practice

[von*ferret]

Everyone was new at one point.

[Defrag]

Been pottering away with some various models for practice.

Lighthoose #1 updated a bit:

New lighthoose. Hard to finish this one as the only reference pic (wikipedia) doesn't show the top of the lighthouse I'll probably just make something up to finish it.

... and I fancied doing some vehicle modelling, so I started working on a BTR-70. Got the basic shape done (tricky bugger this, even with a lot of ref pics it still has a lot of areas with ambiguous geometry).

Started the detailing. Needs cleaned up a bit later on. Need to redo the exhaust shape too since I found some better pics.

This ends my model spam.

That round tower definitely needs some height segments if you want proper looking vertex lighting.

bartollo: Thanks a lot. That last link is particularly excellent

[MrBaracuda]

hrrm maybe I should give modelling another try. I kinda lost interest after my ~48x96x48 table for source ended up being an invisible 20k unit box

[Defrag]

Bit more detailing. The turret housing reminds me of the Juggernaut, bitch!

[nooba]

Looking good Defrag Are you planning on texturing it after you've finished? or is it just modelling practice?

Here is a little RTS scene I'm working on:

I hope to have 4 variations of this scene, each on a different planet.
