Legion01

[rolhionjs]

little test with unique texture to have an idea of the final material :

[Joril]

Really nice Strike, I love Warhammer stuff, so, once again, I can't wait to see more of this :)
Clean mesh too.

[SARC]

That "little test" looks incredible! I can't wait to see the finished image!

[aspiretek]

is that texture test you posted HDRI?

nice sub-d modeling by the way :cool:

[aenema]

man , that little texture test is nuthin less then amazing. way to go! please post some updates soon :wip:

[kabyll]

really great texture and modeling!
:beer:

[Dreamwave]

that texture looks supercool...

btw, that's Galdig the Driller isn't he? is he supposed to be inside that 1337 spacesuit or is he just to 'fit it';) ?

[rolhionjs]

thx for the feedbacks.

Yes it's a variation of Gal-Dig ;)

This time, here's the new character for this one. New test of rendering, and i continue modeling :

[ntmonkey]

Great work, Strike! I'm thinking that it might wind up on the front page! Let's hope it does so all my friends and I can oogle over it!

Again, awesome work!


Lu

[jabusby]

Looks great, really Dark, I like it.

[rolhionjs]

not the final texture of course. I still use the front projection to have an idea of luminosity and reflections ;)

some details :

[Raul-Reznek]

I can't bare to think how that little weakling of a creature can sustain such weight and don't tell me it;s the hidraulics in the armor cuz this guy could't flip the start button on the thinf :D

:D cool!

[Johra]

WOW!
thats awsome STRIKE!

Can't wait to se more of him in an animation perhaps? :bounce:

Keep it up!
Cheers :beer:

[gom3z]

Somebody to stop that guy ?
That looks pretty awesome for a kinda test

[rolhionjs]

Raul Rezneck : sure it will be hydraulics !! ;) A kinda same techniques you could see in Alien:)

Johra : well don't know for the anim, but let's finish the mesh and the scene ;) but who knows ;)

Gom : héhé :) maybe you will be able to do it soon ;) (vu comme c'est parti, ça m'étonnerait qu'à moitié ;) thx amigo ! )

Well, not a big update for modeling, but testing some render tests and new textures. I think the environment will be a kinda desert in a building or something, so here's a new desert armor, kinda Desert storm for tough guys

[EighthDecay]

Woah dude, this is some super duper stuff, this needs to be in some kinda action pose when done. :drool:

[hiko_]

Textures are original .. coool :airguitar

[Snakeman]

omg....u are the man..........looks like acid erosion hit that thing.....maybe put the erosion in more plausible places..........:buttrock: sweet texture!!:bounce: :bounce:

[d4rk]

:xtreme: Wow nice details with the wires and hoses. Awesome!

[Jeffo]

hey strike! loookin sweeet man! awesome detail in the textures and the modelling! cant wait to see the full thing! :thumbsup:

[rolhionjs]

That's it for the part One of this one. I changed the character, to fit better in the final armor. Mirroring of this part is definitive.

http://www.designpicture.com/images3Dversion/legion010.jpg

[JFrench]

Very nice work. The geometry on the suit and accessories looks very clean. The head geometry though looks a little cluttered, but the rendered version is ok looking for your style. Because of your wires, you may not be able to get a wide range of facial expressions without getting hits in the surface. It is hard to see the face wire this small so I might be wrong.
Your textures are coming along nicely too. Clean mapping.

Whats with people from France kicking so much ass? My last name is "French" so I get style points!

[JFrench]

You're rendering with HDRI right? You are getting a great feeling of mass.
If that is your own light setup though, I say good job!

[rolhionjs]

no HDRI for the last images. I just use one light, and a skydome with radiosity ;)

I have to test some different lightning, coz i think there's too much brightness.

[mattie]

hoho, nice work :)
great texturing...

[EighthDecay]

damn this just gets better and better. Now I feel like makin some armored dudes like this, the head style reminds me of my own characters. Anyho damn fine work bro.

[Matthewma]

neat, but the new textures look a lot like the tutorial from 3dtotal; I prefered the other way you were going.

[twinkletoes]

great work strike :thumbsup:

keep it coming :)

[rolhionjs]

Thanks for your replies.

Before working on the armor, I worked a little bit on this face :

http://www.designpicture.com/images3Dversion/legion011.jpg

[PvtRyan]

Looks really nice, reminds me of UT2003.

[sebek27]

wow great work ! is this all in LW7.5 ?? I was wondering how you model this ? is it box modeling or do you do point by point and create poly ? also do you use any reference images in the background or just looking at things ? thanks !! can't wait to see it finished !

[rolhionjs]

Yes it's Lightwave 7.5. I start from one box, and then use the plug PozExtender by selectionning my points and extend them to do that. I don't have any references images, i just do that by memory. If you know Warhammer 40k, that's deep inside my mind, and this is a personnal vision of a futurist warrior. thanx for your replies :)

[rolhionjs]

still working on the face

http://www.designpicture.com/images3Dversion/legion012.jpg

[marc_brassard]

j aime bien ton perso, il est blocky un peu mais ca lui donne un style assez brut et ca lui va tres bien. peu etre les narrines sont carree un peu, non? il ressemble a ray liota.

continue le bon boulot. :thumbsup:

warhammer est tres cool, mon ami est le champion mondial de war hammer, il a un trophee en forme d un fusil de space marine... trop cool.

[rolhionjs]

Well... big troubles with my main file... For some reasons it's corrupted (the object) and i can't open it anymore... Some hours of work destroyed... Anyway i still have a part of the armour in my HD, but not so advanced that the last images... I loose the head as well and i have to model another one. Same for the armor but for texturing this time... So it will take more time i thought...

Anyway, here's the start for the new character in the armor :

http://www.designpicture.com/images3Dversion/facegenerale.jpg

[Darkmesh]

Wow, that Leginaire looks great, better than the Warhammer 40K stuff and that was great ;)

go on ;)

[rolhionjs]

Thanks :)

Well another update for the head. Changing the ears anatomy, and adding eyes...

http://www.designpicture.com/images3Dversion/facegenerale2.jpg

[coCoKNIght]

Man, what do you do besides modelling? Your work is great!...:thumbsup:

[rolhionjs]

besides modeling ? euh... don't know :)

In fact i have some troubles with eyes modelisation and texturing. If you have some tutorials about this part, and particulary on Lightwave, i'm waiting, coz it's not so easy to find the good reflects, etc... thanks :)

[rolhionjs]

http://www.designpicture.com/images3Dversion/facegenerale4.jpg

[Viper]

Holy crap! That kickass :)

Keep it up :)

[samartin]

Sweet !!! You're certainly churning out tonnes of models at the mo', what *edit is/are your current inspiration(s) ???

The only observation I can see is that the lip looks like he has a fat lip ie. been punched on his bottom left lip ??? Maybe this is the look you are going for, ie. rugged...

Actually the 2nd observation, but this isn't from an art perspective, you have spelt sergent incorrectly (sergeant)...

Top notch work yet again (4 high quality items within 2 months :shrug: ) :applause:

[rolhionjs]

Viper : thanks :)

Samartin : my inspiration : Final Fantasy, Warhammer 40k for this image.

For the lips, yea i have to modify that, but later. I have to work seriously on the armor now.
Sergeant : oops (sergent is in french)

http://www.designpicture.com/images3Dversion/facegenerale5.jpg

[blackthorn70]

wow, that head is fantastic looking! great job

[rolhionjs]

still working on the head rendering... tired... can't see anything... what do you think ? better ?

http://www.designpicture.com/images3Dversion/facegenerale6.jpg

[three]

I really like this model.
But I've got to say that I like the other lips better. DOH! :D
Looks more like he's seen a bit of fighting in his days.
And, um, the eyes... as they close in to the nose they grow wider... I think it'd look better if they "widened" in the middle instead.
Right now it's like: <|
I think it should be like: <>

One persons view though.
As said above, it's a totally funky model.
:xtreme:

[Viper]

Now that I look at it (and someone over at SFM mentioned it I think) there shouldn't be that vein on his forehead. Make that a scar instead....it'll look better :)

[piajartist]

Awesome so far!

[rolhionjs]

http://www.designpicture.com/images3Dversion/facegenerale7.jpg

And here's a new start with the new armor not mirrored yet coz it's an old file i found since i lost my main armor file.

So alot of work to do, but just a test to see if the new character fit the armor well :)

http://www.designpicture.com/images3Dversion/facegenerale8.jpg

[TES]

hey man great work!!:bowdown: !!please can you say me how to do good looking skin?I´m working on it for a long time and it still don´t look how I like:cry: ....if you have some great tutorial "how to" so please post it in here...tnx very much (sorry for my english)

[mv]

yeah! great stuff STRIKE, I always liked your render quality:buttrock: great concept too and top notch texturing and lightning.. I'll just say that your organic modelling (the head) is not what you're best at, although it's yet very good...keep it up!:beer:

[rolhionjs]

Thanks :)

TES : I don't have a tutorial to show you, because like you, i tried alot to obtain this kinda skin render (i spend some days to obtain different results and finally this one). In fact i use alot area lights and i don't have any specularity on this surface. Use different colors on your lights plus HDRI can do alot on this result. Lightwave provides alot of possibilities in this domain. Maybe just by observing a real picture, you'll find the way to do it. That's the point : observing. (Thanks to Amaan Akram to told me that some months ago, coz that's really the only way to try obtain a good way to render). With alot of work, i'm sure you'll do it ! :)

M@ : Thx ! I'm conscient of my weakness in modeling, and i have alot of things to learn. It's just one year i model (and CG as well) so i hope to get more skills in this domain :)
Great challenge you did man ;) (où est-ce que je peux voir d'autres images de ton travail ? )

[TES]

tnx much strike:) no specular?so I´m going rendering for a really long time:) (i hate it)

[rolhionjs]

;) Same here, but quality has a price : time .... arghhhhh ;)

[loocas]

Hey, absolutely awesome modeling and texturing too!!! Really cool design of armor! And the head looks simply cool! But I would have several crits... The lips.... mmm, you maybe should to beigger them up, they are not too noticable as they should be. And the eyes, elbows etc... they looked more rough on previous character! Now this guy doesn't seem to be ultra-killer as he propably is! But that's just my opinion. And the very last thing is that I think that the absence of specular map is not good way, everything, especially skin, has its own specularity! :)

But, althought IT'S ABSOLUTELY ULTRA-COOL piece of artwork!! :buttrock:

[JonasNoell]

You are REALLY ill! This makes me think about just sticking a pipe in your brain and sucking out all of your skill. :beer: Anybody already had the same idea? :shrug:
Amazing cool work dude!!! How long are you already doing this?

cANt

[Maya4fun]

Bha, c'est sympatoche comme tout ! Finalement tu as retrouvé ton armure où tu l'as remodéliser?

[rolhionjs]

thanks for your comments ! :)

loocas : yea i would have to improve some stuffs like you told me, but for now i'm concentrate on the armor... Anyway, tell me if this one looks more "killer" ;)

cANt : lol I take the compliment :) thanks ! :)

Maya4fun : ben j'ai retrouvé un fichier intermédiaire non texturé et sans le mirroring fini... Y a eu un tas de trucs à refaire.. pfff :shrug: mais c'est bon là, c'est reparti :)

update :

http://www.designpicture.com/images3Dversion/facegenerale9.jpg

[gom3z]

Gosh ! This last render is awesome !
I loved the previous armor texture (the one before the crash)... but the rusty one is Wooow ! Stunning !
I see this stuff going in the VIP gallery... pretty soon

Keep it up my friend

PS: private joke... is that marblemad ? (cf eye) lol

[rolhionjs]

quel con !! lol Sacré Gom :) MDR

Thanks for saying those words my friend :) (hihi :) )

[Mcf]

awesome work !! i already start loving this armor :D

can you also make a character of the chaos army from warhammer ? :)

would love to see how the model would look like with your great skills.

cheers mcf

[dave_baer]

Kick ass man. Although, I like the first head u used with the #6 on his forehead.

[Viper]

Damn, the left eye on the last one rulez :) Good work! :)

Heh, I'll probably get tired of telling you that :D

[mv]

l'oeil gauche est excellent! je n'ai pas de website pour l'instant mais faudrait que je pense à en faire un ..
anyway, I can't wait to see this guy fully done in a Space-Hulk style environment with lots of slimy aliens surrounding him!
keep it up! :beer: (vu le genre d'armure qu'il a pour l'instant, je verrais bien l'armure complete un peu dans le style mecha d'Appleseed..au niveau du fonctionnement.. avec ses propre bras au milieu en synchro avec des plus gros bras autour..qu'en penses-tu?)

[loocas]

Hey, the scar on the face adds much more agressiveness to the character! Color of that affected exe looks also very perfect! Well, now what I would improve is probably the cheek bone, currently it's not so expressive, so I'd roughen more this bone to add the right "killer" expression. ;) Oh and maybe the chin would be more rozghish... But it's only my opinion, althought it's pretty cool yet! :applause:

[rolhionjs]

Thanks ! :)

Mcf : i'll see that for a next character, who knows... ;)

dave_baer : yea this head has great feelings, but less realistic. Anyway, i 'll try to put a tatoo on this one too

Viper : hehe :) thanks my friend :)

m@ : I don't know if the environment will be so full. I just think first to create a kinda pose for this one, and then... i have an idea, but i don't know if i'll do it for another image. You'll see :)

Pour l'armure : c'est exactement ce que je voulais faire pour des raisons de fonctionnalités. Avec une armure aussi lourde, l'armature ne peut être que mécanique. Je me rappelle avoir vu des images du film Appleseed CG (que je n'arrive plus à retrouver) et où effectivement on voyait bien ce style de mécanisme. L'avantage d'une telle utilisation, permet d'avoir des avant-bras assez chargés en armes automatiques, en plus de pouvoir porter un fusil lourd. Merci :)

loocas : thanks, i'll do my best :)

Well... weather is nice today, so i'll take a pause today :)
seeya soon

[rolhionjs]

Well it's not finished, but i think this one can be a full image by itself. So even if i will continue working in it, i think this image can be considered as a finished one by its angle of view.

[twinkletoes]

hey strike,

really nice work.

i love the dead eye.:thumbsup:

[leigh]

I can't believe I overlooked this thread :surprised

This is so totally cool and the final render you posted in the gallery forum totally rocks :applause:

Strike, I want your brain!

[Maya4fun]

Huhu joli !!
Mention spécial pour l'oeil crevé et le métal rouillé qui est très sympa. Allez bon courage pour la suite.

[icky]

Awesome work! It's a very strong image. I love the painterly look too, but I did prefer the last head you modelled. Sorry to hear the file got currupt. It's all good practice I guess,

:thumbsup:

[rolhionjs]

Well, i just put this thread in stand by, time to concentrate on other things. I'll be back soon on this one don't worry :)

And as the new challenge just started, i'll probably be back after it :)

seeya

[loocas]

YEAH! Bet he looks much more killer-like! man! It's absolutely robust and aggressive! :buttrock: His right exe adds the true visage of real fighter! Congrats man! Love this model and one day (when I find the time) I will attempt to model something similar... Really inspirating!
