Modeling thread

Very well done. I wanna see it textured!!

So, I've got the PS2 version of UT characters, but they aren't fully animated. I want to take a male soldier skeleton, export the psk file, and then use Xan Mk2's psa file to give them animations. The problem is, certain parts of the models 'follow' their legs, so there's a lot of stretching involved.

Like this:


I'd understand how to fix this problem with the skin modifier, but I've got no clue what to do with the physique modifier. Is there anyone with 3DS Max that might know what to do? If this problem is fixed, I'd be able to release most of the PS2 models, aside from the skaarj and Damien (he has no texture, and I probably wouldn't be able to do a good job of animating both skaarj).

Can't you just replace Physique modifier with Skin? It should work with biped too.

I didn't know that, thanks!

skin is a draft, hence crappy wobbly hand drawn details

VERY nice! Waiting to see the final textures!

You would not want to be the one trying to cross that line!

Was at a friends house and decided to download and make a quicky model with Blender. Thought it turned out nicely.


Of course. I had to forget the frontal sight. Durp.
>:l

Still in progress because of the damn frontal sight, and the fact that I can't get to it since it's on his computer, but have at it. Everything there is pretty much done so feel free to comment on that or imagine the sight there or something.

I dunno what kind of rendering setting you were using, but the entire gun is basically solid white and so no details can be made out. The shape looks good but you really need to fix your rendering settings and/or use a different renderer.

I didn't take the time to set up a proper render since I was in a rush, but I could probably get that uploaded some time when I'm at his house again and then download it to my computer and make the correct adjustments and set up a finalized render of the untextured mesh. That's currently just a render with ambient occlusion so it's lame and lazy and sucks to look at for obvious reasons.

I makes head. Fun little sculpt and (horrible) attempts at small detail, but still effectively transferred over to the normal map. I'm pretty satisfied with this and the concept of high poly stuff like this.

[Jet v4.3.5]

Made in Blender. I started this last week or the week before that when I'd decided to try out some modeling practices I'd picked up from a few models Shivaxi had sent me from Mechwarrior, along with confirmation of professional use for this technique from looking at some UT3 weapon models. Not UV-mapped or anything (and I'd be curious how this would unwrap seeing as how certain sections are separated and there a parts of surfaces that are covered by other geometry), but I like how it looks, even if it didn't come out looking exactly like how the reference I'd used had depicted it. Aside a few differences from the reference that I couldn't fix, I like how it turned out.
