I Have some props to make, for a medieval fantasy tavern. So, I just started with the most essential item : the Alsacian Stein (or decorated "beer mug"). Some details to add, and of course the cap.

(Modeled in Wings3D)

ZIKEO ( ) posted Thu, 29 July 2010 at 11:56 AM

Nice!!
How many components?

BlackHarmo ( ) posted Thu, 29 July 2010 at 12:29 PM · edited Thu, 29 July 2010 at 12:43 PM

Thanks Zikeo. Well, there's the Base mub + two twisted rings and the handle, hence 4 components so far. This slightly facilitate modeling of course, but also the uv-mapping (a lot!) part of the process, and there's room for playing with variation on the theme, à la "kit modeling". Or allowing users to play make their own kit etc.

I'll upload a wireframe pic once I've done the cap.

Edit : sorry, add the diamond shapes to the count, for a total of 5 components here. :)

Nice going BlackHarmo. Always interested in component count. My latest on the FanBoy Comic ABC Warriors Theme. Yet another attempt at PineApples. Looked back at the last version I did and have started a complete reconstruction to fit him into the HammerStein style. The only part I've used but modified is the Face Panel. The hands still need to be replaced. Z

The scavenger - been planning this for months. based on a beetlejuice rock crawler. And before you say it those in the know say to put the tyres on this way for more grip

Becco_UK ( ) posted Wed, 04 August 2010 at 2:44 AM

airflamesred: Nice tyres but if real they would have less grip fitting that way and would be directing water/mud towards the centre. Although for a rock climber then I suppose the tread direction could have some use.

More Curvy started last week. Have been busy the whole week so haven't gotten back to it yet. Plan on putting some hair on her in Mod Tools.

I'm not really great with 2D but have been using Dogwaffle Pro to create backdrop reference images.

MidnightCarnival ( ) posted Fri, 06 August 2010 at 1:45 AM

Also cool work guys and nice to see what an experienced user can do in Metasequoia.

Why thank you sir.
Wait till you see the finished article.

Some refinement to The Liquid Oxygen Truck so that accurate scale drawings can be finalised.

Hi Guys. Nice Curvies. Nice Truck. AIRFLAMES-I've no idea what it's going to be, But NICE Wheels and Tyres. Some of you may have spotted a new addition to my gallery featuring my new model of Pineapples and re-useing HammerStien and an older model of BlackBlood. I though I would have a go at DeadLock next and decided on doing a conversion of PineApples into DeadLock. A test of the result. Z

Still have pipes (Ilove pipes), dashoard and engine to go. Circa 150k on the poly count so far

Hell man. That looks Huge.
Going to need some good seating straps.
Is that hydraulic steering?

airflamesred ( ) posted Tue, 17 August 2010 at 1:46 PM

Hydraulic steering it is. The modeling side is quite easy, its the design of making it look believable thats the hard bit.

Hi Guys. Just finished the modelling and rigging on Mongrol from the ABC Warriors. For a quick shader test I've done him as if manufactured by Kawasaki. The Mongrulk!! Check my gallery for a full body shot. Z

Interesting shape, 722. Looks like an hybrid of a cylon raider and a klingon bird of prey.

ZIKEO ( ) posted Thu, 23 September 2010 at 3:30 PM

I agree with BlackHarmo. Nice Shape 722. Would love to see an update. I've been a bit slack of late, So to try and get back into the modelling I've started a weapon based on a drawing in the Judge Dredd movie book. I think it's a block war machine pistol. :) Z
