UGAC - PROP 102 - ULTIMATE CRATE/BARREL - Bazooka Tooth

#10

Thanks for the comments. I will wrap this one up and get on to more which is more exciting. I think the best part of it will be the interrior, the rest is really just a box.

My idea for a barrel is a trap that would be found in a horror game. It would be discuiesd as an oak barrel, but when the player gets close to it some mechanical arms in the mid section come out and “hug” the player while the top opens up, and a rounded spring loaded blade releases to decapiate them with a “kiss”. The barrels will be lightly marked with “XOXO” to define the barrel contents.

you could make the box a light gray-brown with green stripes or spots over it, like the army has it. and more rusty at the edges.

#12

I agree, I was going for sort of an oversized pellican case because seems like it wouild be more fitting for something delicate like a nuke. However a steel military box would look more interesting.

#13

I think this idea is more better. :twisted: I dont know that my sketch really makes all that much sense. I had a lot of the modeling done before I realized I need a sketch. I need to finish up a little more of the model and then I can animate it.

#14

I think the animation needs a bit of tweaking. I have a little more space with the tri’s also. Well, on to texturing.

#15

that thing looks pretty nice.

infernal crate

#16

looks great:D

#18

Okay, here is a slight update with everything UV’d except for the arms.

#19

uah, that thing looks really scary and dangerous. :slight_smile: seems to produce a lot of damage, if one is trapped by that thing!

#20

up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B,A,B,A, select & start :bounce:

I figure it would be for a game like Hunter

#21

:surprised Agree that thing looks like it will dice and slice you into many little Bits! You should go work for the army designing death Traps :slight_smile: How you gonna texture, is it gonna have blood stains on the blades.

#22

LOL, thanks. I am going for a dark brown wood with some metal bands “holding” it together. For the blades and spikes, I was thinking aobut the blood, it would look cooler I think. however since it is sort of a one time trap it really shouldnt have any blood on it yet. I think I want it to look like some nut case built it in his moms basement. So I will be trying to make it appear that the spikes are welded on and try to add a few things that you can find at the hardware store.

#23

Well, I only had a few munites to work on it this evening. Here is what I got done.

#24

original design concept Bazooka, also nice touch on the prop animation. be waiting to see what these textures will look like once your done.

#25

Thanks hanzo. I adjusted the spikes on the arms and now feel like it is close to done. I added sort of a fish hook feature to the first spike, just incase someone thinks they can get away from it. Update coming soon, and hopefully I finish it today.

#26

I am having far too much fun with this! Here some blood, getting closer.

#27

Looks like a killer! I think the animation is really cool.

Maybe the blue lights from the slits dont fit very well with the medieval theme of the barrel. Just a thought.

#28

Ok, I think I am done. Thanks Supervlieg! LOL, I have been using a tire track pattern for setting up my UV’s and I just lighten in a color for different parts and how I want things shaded. I cant decide if I want to use blood or not… Well here is what I think I will use in my final entry:

#29

My submission is in! I think I could have cut back even further on the tris, 1000 is a lot. However I did cut it from 852 to 814 by unifing the the mid section. With that much extra I thought about adding more to the model, but I didnt want to take away from anything on the UV.

Final model in Layout:

Here are my textures:
