Been having a go at some high poly hard surface modelling in max.

So this is far as ive got so far. Decided to have a go at the classic russian T-34, it's pretty blocky but lots of room to detail it up with clips and add ons all over the place. Also there is a hella lot of reference around too.

oh shit balls didnt unhide the wheels lol.

I'm going to mount a Pak40 on my Kfz 251 model, and then you and I can fight it out.

It'll be all like
"pew pew, HEY I GOT YOU, YOU'RE DEAD."
"Nuh uh! My armor protects me from a Pak40"
"Bullshit Stormy, this is why I hate playing with you, you're such a cheater!"

 

[Stormy]

muwhahah t-34 > kfz but you would have the uber speedz to drivez0r away.. verrrroooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[Krynn72]

Krynn demands updates.

 

[Stormy]

Ha you will get them! Not worked since Friday tho. We have had 2 bank holidays so 4 day weekend

 

[Krynn72]

Pfft, my 251 is almost ready to roll out of the factory. I thought the Russians were supposed to have banged out their tanks in no time.

Looking forward to seeing it though, the t-34 is a badass.

 

[Stormy]

Oh man yea T-34's are the bollocks!! Starting off wanting to build a tiger but then figured the T-34 would be more win Also there would be crap tons of reference for the 34

When you posting renders of your half track?

 

[Stormy]

Bit o an update for you babe!

 

[Krynn72]

Looking pretty boss. I didn't realize how all those huge those bolts were on the thing, damn.

When you posting renders of your half track?

I'll post them some soonish. I'm working on it very sparingly, because I have like 4 different projects going on right now, and its probably my lowest priority. The low res model is all built (I'm making it game res), and I've baked out a few bits so far, but I still need to make a high res version of the hull and a few other things.

 

[morgs]

I love seeing 3D models taking shape, looking good Stormy.

 

[Stormy]

I'm looking forwards to seeing it

Thanks morgs, I hope ive got the motivation to finish it :S

 

[Stormy]

M0re updates. Ive moved a few bits to fill some holes now too.

 

[Stormy]

Rah triple post! What a winner!!

I'm also making a flyer to post through some doors. Any crit would be awesome cakes

 

[Stormy]

More updates... Tracks need to be done again as they are just not right atm. Also the front and back wheels need to be done.

Finished him woop

 

[Krynn72]

Awesome work. Don't know why I didn't notice the previous updates. Have fun making the low res . How many polys do you think you'll be able to drop it to? Mine turned out to be way more than I anticipated (god damn track links).

 

[Ennui]

That's truly awesome Stormy.

Not to crash your thread or anything, but would either of you (Stormy or Krynn) be interested in doing some basic modeling for HL2: Wars?

For our next beta release we are in dire need of proper models for our buildings (HQ, Barracks, Armory, etc) as well as a couple simple props ("scrap heaps" for Resistance resource, etc).

We don't have artists on our team, and it's been surprisingly difficult to attract capable / experienced 3d artists to help us despite how popular the mod is.

I'm sure you guys are super busy and probably don't want to add anything to your production plate, but just thought I'd ask in case that would interest either of you.

 

[Krynn72]

Well, for me it depends on how soon you'd need me to start. We're getting pretty close to wrapping up our game, so I should have a good deal of free time after that, but thats at least a month away. Anything sooner than that and I'd have to work on it the same way I've been working on the halftrack I mentioned in this thread... which is like an hour or two every week... maybe less. Probably more of a hassle for you guys than helpful.

 

[Stormy]

It's kind of tempting but right now time is really lacking. Black Rock has just gone to shit and I'm jobless. Any spare second of time is getting thrown into pimping portfolio. I need a new job!

 

[Stormy]

Been updating my folio to start sending round after all this shit at black rock and about to start a major job hunt. If there are any bits that are glaringly shit and should come up let us know. Also in the process of organising that moria scene into something presentable too + perhaps some sci-fi stuff too. Any crit would be great

[Ennui]

Krynn let me know if/when you have a fair amount of free time (when your game ships). We're trying to get the next release finished in the next month or two, but it might take us until the end of the summer depending.

Stormy your portfolio looks great to me. I looked at every single picture trying to find something to criticize but no dice really

 

[ríomhaire]

Surely modelling for the mod would increase your portfolio?
