The random model thread!

[KoKo5oVaR]

That's one tough exercise dude, making a lowpoly model out of a simple stylized character like that.

What's important here is to respect the global masses and the dynamic lines of your character :

Try to understand how it works in a global way before starting any detailing, i've drawn in red the masses and in blue the dynamic lines.

Be also very careful of the animation, add some edge lines at the articulations. And do not make them straight, make them follow the volume

I hope it helps and that it's not too late :x

Snow pine for dead be for xmas.

Now that is one well made tree!!

[Pericolos0]

snow covered trees is very hard! You did good

damn i want to make some now.. thats a good challenge =)

[dux]

Wow that's really good tomdon. I don't think I've ever seen a good snow tree before.

[tomdon]

Thanks chaps, its a real pain doing snow branches, thats about the third revision I made over lunch. Its not perfect but its the best of a bad batch lol.

[Skjalg]

It does look weird from underneath, tho, but it looks really well from the outside.

[Zeta]

Looks great, you really sold the weight of the snow on the branches.

[KoKo5oVaR]

Yeah it does look really cool, volumes work well, some slight baked shadows in the diffuse on the trunk would help too, but maybe you made it tile ?

[tomdon]

Yeah the trunks tiling.

[KoKo5oVaR]

Make a nice tillable texture of a trunk tree with some branch shadows then

[Pericolos0]

yeah it would be cool if you made the trunk into a unique texture with shadows baked down, since i guess now it will just look brighter than it should be on the inside

[AlexM]

whoa that's really cool, the branches look a little glowy underneath but it really looks nice overall. I love how you got the weight of the snow to come across.

Needs some kind of legs, like for when it lands. It looks neat but odd without some kind of landing gear.
