Works in Progress


#21

Sorry! I had no idea you were so passionate about it. I’ll take it down down… Well hashers, get those WIP’s up.


#22

Ok I got a WIP here.

Dopus & Sox

The guy in the back is named Dopus. He is supposed to be the Devil’s secretary who works for good from the inside. He is actually already done.

The guy in front is Sox, the Sock Stealer. He’s the guy you go looking for when you’re missing a sock. As you can see, he is not done yet. He’s got some bump and diffuse mapping on his hands and chest and just a basic color.

Also rendered with a skylight, but I don’t really know how to use them.

Let me know what you think.

Ps: I love that version of the Alien.


#23

Pretty hard to see whats going on but. . . it looks pretty good. Should sit in well with the other characters you have done in your cheese wars series.

Thanks Wegg and Zaryin, but I guess I should have posed it in the standard T position. Sure, he’ll show up in Cheese Wars, but wouldn’t he make a great Polonius or King Claudius in my next act of Hamlet?

I’ve trying to figure out how to do the slime for his mouth. So far it’s a couple of displacement maps and a couple of stringy models for the biggest drips. Anyone have any other suggestions?

Very nice. Sox is gonna have some pretty short legs isn’t he.

:slight_smile:


#25

He might actually be placed slightly higher than he is now. He will still be pretty short though. :slight_smile:


#26

Check out this S10 I’m working on in my spare time.

Nice work all!

Like I have said in earlier posts on the forum, I have been testing out Wings3D.
Here I have taken a polymodel that I made last year and converted it to mdl file in wings. I have only tweaked upper part of the head and some splines around the eye. Have been up all night:) so I guess try to get some sleep now.
:surprised
I will post images of the poly model later on.


#30

PJC: Nice mood. I’d personally attack the shadows around the character and his “chair”. You have such dark areas in and around his body, but the floor directly under him is almost glowing.

Real slick though.

daft: I have made attemtps in the past to re-construct polygon models in AM and have usually given up in frustration. If I were to try it again though I’d stay in wings and try and attack all your 3 point polygons. Those are probably giving you the most problems in AM. Just punch em out and leave holes if need be. Those holes can be made into hooks of 5s in AM.


#31

nerrazzi: Good start to that car.

PJC: I like this, but I have to agree with Wegg about the shadow incontinuity (sp?). I still think it’s more awesome than anything I have made.

daft: I like what you got going so far, but I would have just given up myself. I think it takes some real patience to do what you are doing. Good luck.


#32

Well, I have never had any luck of making a head in A:M. I think I like more to start from a solid object, like in poly modeling. We´ll see how this one goes.

Wegg. I havn´t had so much problems with 3 point polys yet. I model the poly model some what clean of them. I am pritty happy so far with how it´s going and I haven´t done so much work on it till now. But know that I will run into problems with the nose and mouth area.
Some more images here
PolySmooth.

Splines in A:M


#33

Almost there… You can see a clearer shot on my website.


#34

@ nerrazzi
your models look good, I think it would be a great idea to give your models which we can download from your page free here: http://www.hash.com/freemodels/


#35

Thanks Pablo! Glad you like them. That’s a good idea you have, I’ll look into it. I just created a “World’s Fastest Models” link on my website where you can download these models as soon as they’re finished.


#36

Damn nerrazzi, that is lookin’ gooooooood!


#37

…'preciate it guys. There’s a 360 deg. wireshaded .avi up on my website if anyone’s interested in what that looks like, nothing much to it really. http://www.nerrazzi.com/main/id37.html


#38

Well this is the last time I’ll post any WIP’s for this model. Just need to add finishing touches, mirrors, door handles, seats a few minor decals etc…

the newest version (half re-done) is

comments and crits appreciated, I can’t quite workout the “lag” I seem to see in the 2nd version - it’s only an 850k file but plays real slow and jumpy on my PC at work. Even with 512mb of RAM!!

that truck is lookin mighty fine, nerrazzi. i can’t believe how fast you’re building it, too!

BTW, i really like your site. your downloadable models are really great, especially the battlepod! i made an articpigs veritech a little while ago. if you got a pc with the plugin installed it’s at
