[-Psy-]

Add more detail to that rifle and it will look uber

 

[mikeandike22]

here is a sweet 3/4 reference for the blaster rifle, you have a lot of detail missing and the scope rail is too high, also you put an extra thing over the barrel. if you just make the clip thing i think urs would look pretty sweet already.

i think the one he made was more of a 3rdperson model.
nice work u have there i dont really know what ur making but im assuming its starwarsish

 

[Vulture117]

Thanks guys for your coments and thank you mike so much for the blaster pics. I looked for an hour and couldnt find ones like that (which i wanted ofcourse ) so you giving them too me its a great help. Thanks

Also tell me your thoughts of my storm trooper helmet.

Thanks

i think the helmet is pretty sweet. just one thing though. something seems wrong at the top where theres the top bit then a ring n then the whole face part. where the "face part" meets with the ring it doesnt seem in line with the top bit. sorry if that was really confusing lol.

 

[mindless_moder]

also you didnt have to model the indents on the bridge of the nose they could have been bumped in or normal mapped saving you a lot of time and trouble

 

[Vulture117]

lol i would do that but well.......i dont know how yet

Just so you know ive only done a couple other renders so im a total noob at this. Point me to a tutorial for it and ill get right on it

 

[Vulture117]

hey man thats looking very nice . can you show us some of the refrences you are using for his body ? . i cant really give you much criticism without them.
also whats the current polycount.

 

[Vulture117]

Ok this is not going to be the ingame model ive made this one for normal/bump maps and such so the other one will be much lower poly

For the refernce pics thing I used about 20 million of em (most of them not being of the movies but of fans and thier amour) but the ones i used for rotoscopy were this

and theres another one i just cant find so i hosted it

[Icewolf717]

awsome model, just tone it down on the hands, and the poly count should lower a bit

Better head reference imo.

Not official but nice different angles.

Bit late now, but maybe when you do the low poly version.

 

[mindless_moder]

9600 tris is a big no no for game characters. from the screen u sent me it looks like the majority of ur tri count is in the head i think you should remodel it and pay attention to optimisation try to lower the number of tris/faces used on the top of the head it has way too many iterations.

 

[Vulture117]

lol mindless didnt you read what i said "Ok this is not going to be the ingame model ive made this one for normal/bump maps and such so the other one will be much lower poly" I am going to lower the polies in anouther version this one is for NORMAL/BUMP maps. Because there are a hundred little bits on storm trooper amour that canot be put in without taking up polys so im makeing this one first then the low poly version.

 

[mindless_moder]

well then its too lowpolly lol ...
you should smooth out the head and other areas.

 

[Vulture117]

lol, shure

btw thanks simon for the refernce pics

 

[Vulture117]

lol ok ive made the low poly model and saved it to a seperate scene but ive run into a problem... I dont know how to work shaders for the shiney efect for the model and I dont know how to make normal/bump maps for it and I cant find eny tutorials please help
