My first model [Blender] Thread

This is my first person model on blender. I have no idea how to rig it so i wont be posing anytime soon...

shoes could use a bit of work though
and hands..
and head....

Holy shit? That's really good for your first model! Keep up the good work man!

Not bad for a first person model. Finger length is a bit on the odd side unless it's supposed to be cartoon style ( as it looks to me right now ). Smoothing is getting the upper hand on you... but it does on anybody. Rigging itself is not difficult. Create first an Armature object which comes with a default bone. To add bones either duplicate one or select the end point of one and extrude ( E-Key ). Use the mesh panel to name the bones properly. Now comes a shortcut. Parent the mesh to armature and select from the menu to create named groups. Now in the Modifiers panel turn the armature into a real one. You've got now Vertex Groups named according to the bones. Rule is simple: bones affect vertex groups of the same name. Now put the armature into pose mode and then put the mesh into Weight Paint mode. Now you can select a bone and paint the vertices ( blue => no effect, red => full effect ). Fiddle around a bit with this system and moving bones around to see how your rigging works. You can reset the posing with ALT-R ( reset rotation ), ALT-G ( reset translation) and ALT-S ( reset scaling ). Hope this helps to get you started.

Dude....I want shoes like that. Nice first model by the way.

Woah, that's really good!
My first model was a table

Ya not bad for your 1st

as time goes on i do something else....



no head because doing that screws me over
and i suck with lighting

That looks pretty nice. Have you done some hard-surface modelling as well? Or just organic, like these two models?

OMG NO FREKIN' HEAD!?!??!?!?!!?
Wow, sometime in the future I'll upload my first model. Now got to get modelling
Oh BTW great model, but the fingers look weird. Look at your hands and try fixing them, unless its a cartoony style model.

Jesus... what a kind of necromancy is that? <.=.<

Can i ask you guys a question, does it matter on what program you use for modelling? I have used pro desktop (at school) and made an aeroplane but would that still be considered as a model. I am looking to get in to modelling, mapping, and maybe programming. So, i might start using blender as well. Good work by the way- improved shoes on the second model .

very nice! Better then my first model!

program for modeling doesn't matter, but blender is the best free one out there, it can compete with most of the pay programs. Also via plugings/scripts it can work with almost any game.

good!But why isnt a rifle or a male soldier.Or atleast a model of a glass.

Or atleast an animation.

there's more out there to model then the same thing that's been done 10000000^10000000 times.

its been a while... and i still somewhat suck


if i were to rotate this model to the side the hair looks weird 0.o
oh yeah i had to draw the eyes of course

Erm, i just wanted to ask another question...If i were to model a gun of somesort on Blender, could i somehow use the gun that i made with a character in one of my games? Half Life 2 or something?
