What is everyone working on? #2 Thread

I agree with the changes that nsg made to the anatomy. THis way it looks more realistic in a sense, as though if there were a creature with such a form, then those are the legs which we would see. It's also one of the better ways of having the legs, in an engineering sense. Overall, i like it quite a lot. Can't wait to see how you'll texture it and such!

Something is really strange there. Are the bump-outs modeled or mapped? It's like somebody hammered on the weapon. Maybe though also some smoothing going haywire.

Some times ago ( I think it's even still in this topic ) I showed some renders of an old project I started some time ago to train a bit on high detail modeling ( well, depending on what you call high detail that is ). Picked some crappy reference images I found on the net and went on. Got half way through when I got stumped since the images lacked the details I needed for that project. One of the major lacks of details had been in the mecha cockpit. I had no idea how it looked.So things got stalled some time ago ( old images amongst others here ).

Then I came across some images by luck including views of such a cockpit. Dusted out that model to give it a go on the cockpit side. I wanted to make especially a usable cockpit. As the indie game dev I am I played around with this as a real-time game cockpit. After all there are not many games which actually have fully 3D in-game cockpits with dynamic cameras ( right now I know no such game but the ones I heard about get all except the dynamic camera part to my knowledge that is ), especially I've seen no game with those buggers having that. And somehow a mecha is only fun if you play it from the inside not over-the-shoulder. It's still WIP as I try to put some more stuff into it ( especially some seat belts ) so it especially still uses plain single-color materials ( smoothing in blender sucks, I know ). Also made a few test animations using my engine to see how this would look like but nothing I feel like showing .

 

You can most probably not read the text in the status bar on the left. It's supposed to be "durability" ( red: I don't like the term HP ), "energy" ( blue: no idea what this does but I found it in many games so I put it in there ) and "shield" ( green: it's in the name of the mecha so I made a shield meter ).

So just honk out what you would think about such a cockpit view in a game ( click for larger images, 1024 or so in size ).

polycount ftw...

good luck with that mod ngs : D

aaaan i did a quick bust sketch.. just trying to learn more about light really ;o

Sweet, now you can go just play HL2 if your everyday life is too boring and get a 7 hours job ingame Does it print? :p

Why not make an office game so that you can be in the office on your spare time? Or you could play the office game in the office and the circle is complete.

Hmmm the image isn't showing anymore... wierd...

No it doesn't print, I forgot to model the power connector... stupid me.
Now that I've been able to get some stuff in the source engine I've got a purpose for modeling again, hooray.

Have not posted here in a while, I've just been practicing a few things here and their and ended up with this. WIP.

Is it a symetrical CS:S map!?

The pallet is nice but something's odd on that floodlight but I can't put my finger on it. Most probably with the front side. I first thought it's a soda can with grip.

Make the glass a little less alpha, since it looks 99% transparent, it may seem unfinished and a bit awkward as Dragonlord pointed out. But other than that, awesome models
