In my opinion the legs and the arms are a little short, but for every thing else i think is a very good model:wavey: :thumbsup:

Yep! looks cool :)

I also thing is legs are a little short...

And the feets are a bit strange!!

Everything else look fine!! and by the way good job.. its hard to model in low poly.. i know what it is to have a poly limit hehe

a little update, made legs a bit longer and changed the boots. Still working on his lower legs, though. Let me know how is my use of triangles and proportion.... or whatever else you think.
thanx.

This is rocking! Great job!!! Personally, I think the shoulders should be a little wider, but that's just me.

Hey man...really nice work on the model! For a guy with muscles that big though a wider chest and should mass might be a good idea. Experiment with it a little.

Even if you leave it like it is, it still looks really good!

Nice work yet... well, if I can recommend something, taht would propably be to make metal parts more rusty and add even more scratches! He would look more ROUGH and COOL! ;)

thanx ppl. Yeah loocas, I'll go over the whole texture and add rust, scratches and paint peals later. Thanx.

an update.

WOW, great model; that looks really cool:eek: ; just 1 suggestion: bring up a lil more noise on the textures between left and right, scratches and bumps on the right shouldn't be mirrored on the left side again;

but good job:thumbsup:

Great texture work. I'm looking forward to seeing the face.

Grimreaper1981 thanx, but at the moment the character unwrapped so that both halves are mirrored. I looked at actually UT2003 characters and they are also unrwrapped that way, that's why mine is. Maybe later I'll try to move things around hopefully without loosing too much space in unwrap windows.

Hey harmonic! Long time no see :) It's looking really nice there... Haven't really got any crits, maybe add some more detail to the boots? And I want to see a close up of the head!

How's you been lately? Studying still?

harmonic01

03-15-2003, 04:21 PM

Hey Urg, great to hear from you. Yeah, still working on the boots. Nothing textured beyound the waist yet.

Since I switched my major from music performance (french horn) to computer animation, yeah, I'm still a student. Got a year and a half to go.

03-15-2003, 04:27 PM

w00t, then you can finally do an animation with your nazi sperm ;)

(Btw, check out my thread, it's a few posts down on this page)

Well, lookin' fwd then man! :bounce: this will be very nice ut2k3 model, you should think of posting it on polycount or another game site pal! :buttrock: 'coz I really wanna download this! Like whole concept, design etc. And I'm really curious about the animations of his body...' :thumbsup:

Ah, Urg, you still remember my natzy sperm. Aaawwwww fuzzy warm feeling. :-) [edit] oh wait a sec, duh, it's my icon. LOL [edit] *damn, fuzzy warm feeling is gone*

loocas, yeah, if I get this in the game succesfully, I'll definatelly post it on polycount.

BiTMAP, yeah I like GI renderes too. :-)

hey... 2 questions...

#1 can you use maya in conjunction with ut 1003?

#2 is so can ya link some tutorials up.. that looks like a lot of fun and i'd like to try it out

harmonic01

03-16-2003, 08:31 AM

smfjersey, thanx. :-)

Backstabbeth - Oh yeah, totally. I use 3dsmax, but Maya would work just as well. In fact, UT2003 cd3 has Maya PLE. The only tuts I know that uses Maya for UT2003 are videos from 3dbuzz (www.3dbuzz.com) they are totally free, just register and download. I don't think they cover characters yet, though. So far level editing and static meshes. Actually, you can read www.polycount.com tutorials for Max and do the same in Maya. The only difference is that you use Maya ActorX plug-in instead of Max. Oh, wait, not sure about if there are special bone requirements for Maya.

For rigging, are you using the character studio rigs released by Digital for this character? Or, are you creating your own rig?

If you're creating your own rig, how exactly does it work to import it into the game? I'm really interested in doing UT2003 models, but I was turned away when I was told that you had to use the rigs that Digital provided. I don't want to be restricted to either huge guy, or skinny guy.

Any tutorials you know of would be quite helpful too.

harmonic01

03-16-2003, 10:14 AM

sorry nervous_twitch, I only know of tutorials from www.polycount.com Yeah, I use one of the character studio rigs. Actually, before starting this model, I made a crappy one really really fast to try and import. Well, I used my own character studio pibed scaled to my crappy character and it imported just fine. Right now I used one of the mercs bipeds, rescaled some parts, though. Havn't tried to import to UT2003 yet, though, so not yet know of the horrors that lie ahead. :hmm:

Looking Badass!

Give him some beard stubble.

Possibly a scar.

Goggles should be a dirty transparent glass with scratches.

He needs some stuff added to his chest.

:thumbsup:

Damn that's looking really nice so far. Almost wants to make me play more UT2003. Can't wait to see it finished :)

firstly, I like your model alot!
however, id like to see some more scratches and dirt
on the textures.. You should read leigh's texturing guides in the texture section.

Just some tips, great piece anyway :)
