The random model thread!

[ultradr3mer]

here is a wireframe. it uses 5342 Triangles.

i think your model is good but the texture on the armor is a bit boring. you should try giving the shells more of a highlight, like you would do in te goog old days, and add some warp on the normal map.

here are some examples:

i also did this but barely visible:

i baked it from the high poly, instead of painting it.

Next step for my dragon statue, 3540 tris and 2 diffuse 1024*1024 + 2 normal map 1024*1024 + a specular mask. This is rendered in Max because I don't have a good quality in UT3, need some more train to have a decent material on it :/

Of course, I'll put a lampe on his hand after that

[ultradr3mer]

the dragon sems to have the same texture as the rocks, i think mainly because the specular is so similar.

that's waaaay better than the first time i tried to make a rock statue!

Can we see the wires?

[ElectroSheep]

okay !

I'm actually working on the materials, and the result is just like shit. I think I need more time on Ut...

Nice usage of tris, did you use an automatic retopo like Decimation?

[ElectroSheep]

I used decimation to get a cheap mesh that I can open with max and 3D coat (my computer doesn't like millions of tris lol) but I used 3D coat to do the retopo manually

Hello. First time on new account. I've been browsing for a while in this thread and there's a lot of good stuff.

I finally had the time to learn how to model, so I went through a few tutorials and gave the lamp in the livingroom a go:

No texture, just colors. Also it's got waaaaay too many polys

edit: need tips on good tuts for unwrapping and texturing(3ds max / photoshop), anyone?
