Modeling and Rendering Thread

And I can't edit the mesh of the robot thing, or it won't inject with it's bones, animations, nodes, or UV Map... the gun is just going to be an attachment and it can't be too big...

False. If you watched my video on FP model injection, (though unlikely because of your ISP being a bandwidth cockblocker), you can inject a model with separate shaders proper UV as well as correctly assigned nodes.

I was speaking of the human sword thing..not the gun

I finally figured out how smoothing works today. ^_^

I have no idea how I'm going to model the wiring. Spline modeling perhaps?

[JacksonCougar]

Could, or just deform some tubes.

Why not go wireless? This game takes place in 2024 right? (or some other year after 2020)

26th century. (2500's)

To have the wiring look like what it does in Halo3, we need injection support for the Rigid Boned model format (hint's to Cougar).
Otherwise you could just have the wire connect to the bottom of the stand where the pivot is.
Or go wireless like Click suggested, and just delete that wirebox plate.

[NotZachary82]

I might just go wireless because I'm an extremely lazy person. The excuse "this is the future" should work here.

The camera won't be on anyway .

Wow I was off.

Turret Base.

Wireframe

Needs a tad bit of work.

[JacksonCougar]

I like it, very nice.

[Dragonfire]

turret base, eh? not bad

[socrates]

wow that's very original, where'd you get the idea if I may ask?

[NotZachary82]

lul socrates.

It's this thing

[Dragonfire]

*compares images*

Not bad, man, good work on a scratch replica

[xxpenguinxx]

Small speed boat: Mini Gator
Yes, it is a floating warthog...


I did not mean for it come out like an MP7, it just did some how... I shall call it: "MP7 Thingy McBobber"
I'm leaving the bronze part that same color and the handle is either crap or too detailed... Hmm, maybe it's detailed crap!

[XZodia]

It seems rather counter productive to remodel he hog when you could achieve a good look by just nulling a few nodes

Good moar buildings people!

I did a quick modeling and added the glass texture with photoshop just to get a quick idea, needs more detail though, the circle things on top are landing spots for pelicans.

[socrates]

[neodos]

[NotZachary82]

Haha. Lmao socrates.

[Dragonfire]

Saltshaker, lol

Damn those pads r for pelicans? Thats one big building O_O

Started playing around with 3dsmax a week ago and these are my first two attempts at modelling:

Luke Skywalker's Light Sabre:


Tie Interceptor:

Also, here's my attempt at a building:

[Twinreaper]

Sorry my young Padawan.....that is not Obi-Wan-Kenobi's light saber....lol. Thats is the light saber of Luke Skywalker, constructed after his defeat by Darth Vadar on Cloud City. Sorry for being such a stickler and Star Wars geek! Nice lookin model though dude....seriously!
