Model Requests? (or help)

Correction: I am still around, I'm just not going to spend the time to model anything at the moment.

Were you aware I had already made a typhoon model?

Nope.

I'd love it to wider, and not so tall. Kinda looks like a tornado. But I might be able to fix that, if you share.

how about the Black Pearl or Flying Dutchman?

lol zar, that is a future, very future project for us. Maintaining a low poly count on a standard ship is hard enough, so imagine with one of those beautys.

Again...very future.

Modeling and texturing projects there aswell.

I was just looking at the images of it online and I came to the sudden realization that the Black Pearl is actually one really ugly ship. I don't think it's worth the modeling time.

But that's just my opinion.

I've been wanting to create something like this for awhile, but I never got around to it. I think I might try similar stuff over the next hour or so.

Update: Like the new avatar or should I return to the old one?

Update2: Or would this be an even better one?

Update3: Or even this?

Update4:

*sigh*

All that work and you pick the simplest one of the bunch as your favorite. I thought the 'Building a universe' one would surely get comments. (Although I should really probably darken the text on that one).

I wish I had a faster way to make a set of evenly spaced still screenshots. That fly-by of phong took a really long time. And I had to use a video recording of the landing sequence to get it to work.

yea i like the first one too XD

Keep in mind I can (and have) make bigger, longer and/or better quality ones if this is something we want to use for advertising or what not. I was making them small so they were readily deployable as forum avatars (130x90 and less than 59kb).

If someone has a good idea for a fairly complicated one I'm all ears. Although keep in mind I'm terrible at 2D graphics so it can't involve a lot of drawing.

At the current size I can get about 20 to 25 frames without exceed the avatar limit to give you a reference on size.

You cant really read the writing on the second one as the yellow writing is too bright.

fhko · Post by **fhko** » Mon Dec 15, 2008 3:08 pm

Is this better?

Baladin · Post by **Baladin** » Mon Dec 15, 2008 3:28 pm

Yup much better.

(I always love using the link Image shack tells you not to use in forums.)

Anyway, I made a simple little stone shack based off of one in Battlefield 2. It's a pretty non-descript building so it will make a good addition as a house, meth-lab, ghetto, etc. I think I'm starting to understand the process by which I can make my textures a bit more realistic.

I hope you enjoy it.

For those of you who care about what I'm up to...I'm looking into a switch toward blender (instead of gmax) as my primary 3d modeling software. With any luck it will help my put out some higher quality models.

very nice! I can use this one for sure.

A temple for my good buddy Mishka.

I spent way too much time on this thing, but it may have been worth it.
