Ok. So a couple of friends and I are starting a bit of a game art project, which will hopefully end up as a playable thing.

Anyways, I've been working a bit on the lead character; First sketching him out in 3D, and now I've just started working through the assets in high poly:

I'll post more as they're worked on.

Some tasty concepts by our 2D guy Mike Brainard:

Thanks a bunch, guys :) Good stuff!

I started the HP for Hank's molotov bag yesterday and had nothing but trouble with mudbox, so I changed the army satchel-style bag for a camera bag (that I have sitting on my desk besides me).

About 3 - 4 hours work, including wrestling with the goddamn pathdeform (WSM) modifier and ending up having to do all the trims by hand.

Sick, really love the look of that, and seeing it double as a molotov holder :). Just curious, what was your trouble with path deform? Didnt happen to be because you can't collapse the modifier? I know thats what I have the most trouble on. In the off chance it is, just do a snapshot of the model (Tools>Snapshot) and you'll be set with a collapsed version.

Anywho, this is looking promising, cant wait to see more.

The cabin concepts look like fun. Might model/texture one my own off your concepts to cure some boredom.

Keep up the good work mate.

Flewda - Thanks man. The trouble I have with the pathdefrom modifier is that it never aligns how I think it's going to, so I find it takes me longer to align the end result to my work than to drag some fresh edgeloops around the trims to create the same thing :P When I have some spare time I'll be able to put some effort into figuring out it's mysteries ;)

Mindrot - Thanks mate. Will do :)

BakerCo - Rgr that, willco. Cheers! :D

TomCatania - Excellent. The concepts are drawn by my good friend Mike Brainard who used to roam these boards a while back. If you want to bring one of the above concepts into 3D, drop him a line at michaeljbrainard AT gmail DOT com. I'm sure he'd love to hear from you ;)

Darnit, saw the title and was hoping for one of the Stunticons from Transformers... :P

Seriously, nice work so far, especially on those "incidentals"
