Oh my god?
Man that's beautiful.

Little off-topic but.
Since you work in XSI| Exp for HL2.
Can't you do a wep tutorial for newbies, please?
It would make my day!

 

[IchI]

Its a very nice model. They are some preportion faults around it, but apart from them its very nice.

The folds in the clothes seem a little unrealistic in places. But it still looks fine.

Thats about it...

Oh, it's just that it's impossible to find a wep tutorial for XSI were they go by reference pic (not the ugly minigun one).
Guess it'll come one within time.

And I say it again, awesome work mate. I love it

 

[SidewinderX]

It's really good though to see a HL2 mod team actually bothering with high poly models for baking. Well done [TBUK]apo, keep up the good work. Be interesting to see how it develops over the weeks, just don't give up cause of silly things like girlfriends or real life

Naa thats one of the Unreal3 high poly models for normal/texture baking, I can't take credit for it, I just think it looks very good


and yeah apparantly I can't count

 

[[TBUK]apo]

hehe ty to all coments
that model looks awsome love the details but the poly count looks like D:
btw girlsfriend rulezz
ty again

 

[Lupus]

Aye, 2 million polys, but they said in the video the actual models used had about 10k, but with the normal maps from the 2mil...mmmmmmmm.

 

[The Dark Elf]

Low poly (5k) game model

Final result, I think its 2560x2560 or something texture maps generated from the high poly model.

[TBUK]apo is most certainly on the right track

 

[Jeremy]

We'll see how this comes out

 

[Lupus]

.......man I wish I could model like that. Fenric what program is it you use for modelling? (I know you didn't do that monster hehe, just asking )

 

[[TBUK]apo]

tbh after seeing that model i got a little down

[[TBUK]apo]

hehe tnx for the suporting words, next mesh will be better after i finish this one i promise

 

[Recoil]

awesome, apo!

and fenric... as long as i don't know what gun he's got it's of no relevance

 

[Mikademius]

Great model, there are some errors. Maybe I'm just fooled by the perspective, but. 6 heads...

 

[Recoil]

it's called individualism?

i really don't know about you, but... I personally have better things to do then checking other peoples models for correct heights it looks cool and realistic, so what...

 

[Dalith]

Recoil, if you read apo's first post you would see "critisism welcome".
If there's any way apo can improve it, I think he would be glad full.

 

[random.hero]

yeah...the legs are way to small, and the boots are a bit tiny. if you make them both bigger, then you'll get it up to about 7.5 - 8 heads tall which would fill Mikademius' criteria

 

[[TBUK]apo]

im redoing the boots and legs be patient lol

 

[Mikademius]

hehe, he asked my opinion and got it. The human eye will always see errors like this even if it looks cool or not We will ovbiously get an update on it soon anyways...

 

[[TBUK]apo]

maybe not soon i luv me girl too much :blind: maybe in a month or so whenever

 

[Mikademius]

I luv me girl too much

Girls, the root to all evil...

 

[The Dark Elf]

Girls, the root to all evil...

Can't argue with that

TIP: When you model your charaters NEVER have his arms sticking out at 90* Your model doesn't spend most of his time walking with his arms outstretched lik that, it's unnatural. The arms should be around 30-45* what the pros did with that UE3 character you posted.
