As far as using no references go, I would say this is a very decent go at a torso, certainly not the worst I've seen. I agree with the others about the shoulder blades, they come out as a bit odd.
Either way, it's still a good attempt without reference, and I'm sure you would do a much better job with reference, keep at it!
I can't believe I know what this is from, but it's from Naruto, I had a phase where I watched all the episodes back to back, waste of time.
Gaara looks great though, keep up the good work.
Bout bloody time, congrats to fdlsk for his copy of portal, thank you for taking it off my hands! It was just going to waste.
Oh k, I'm guessing EVERYONE has portal by now, oh well, looks like I'm stuck with it. :/
Hey guys, since this is where I spend most of my ModDb time, I thought I'd post it here.
I just pre ordered Portal 2 on steam and I have a free copy of portal to give away. Since everyone on my steam account already has it, I'm having a hard time finding anyone who doesn't own it.
If anyone is interested in a free copy of Portal then PM me and I'll send it to your steam account once we have sorted out the details, I think all I need is an email address or something, for gods sake don't post your email address here, just PM me.
I'm not sure of the rules about this, but hopefully I'm not breaking any.
P.S, I'm not joking around here, I literally have a copy of Portal on Steam just sitting there and I just want to get rid of it, first come first served.
The first thing I felt when seeing this model was "Where's Cloud?"
This is a clear rip off from the buster sword, which features predominantly in the Final Fantasy 7 universe. Now, normally this would be fine, everyone uses reference to make stuff from, but he's actually called it something else and added a little "skull n bones" texture, this isn't even using imagination, copyright was correct with his observation.
I actually couldn't give a **** what anyone thinks about their decision, I'm going to buy it, I'm going to play it, I'm gonna love it, and none of you damn whiners can stop me, whatever side your on!
I can't imagine them charging much, it's not a full blown game after all, it's more of an interactive story book that you walk through as someone once put it.
Lol, the skeleton pose is pretty much standard, they are either in a T-pose or like this, I know Epic Games favor this pose too.
For me it's the hood, although I like the hair too.
Ahh the author speaks!
Fair enought mate, like I said man I wasn't dissing your models at all, I think their great!
I'm not having a go, but how do you know thats what he's going for?
Also, even though it's the damaged version from MGS4, it's still a clear reference for the head and how it works.
The head should actually be spererate as it can move independently from the body, as you can clearly see here, the body and head are one piece.
Metal gear rex was incredibly boxy, even in MGS 4 where he makes his return.
I think you have his general shape down, but the front just looks totally wrong, in fact, this is not a good rendition of REX at all, I'm sorry, But I love rex' design out of all the MGS games and you have butchered it.
Now I'm not saying these are bad models, they are infact really decent and the texture work is quite nice, but you would of been better off calling it something else.
Rant, rant, rant etc.... rant over.
Here's a good reference pic for ya. ;)
Ahh, the age old "I want to make it unique and different" thing.
Unfortunetely, nothing is original anymore, everything has been done, it's all about the details these days, I'm not having a go, just some friendly advice. :)
Yea sure, there's money to be made doing that. I've been considering it myself, but you got to be careful of plagiarism or copyright, it's all got to be original content.
Personally I don't think it looks anything like Chakan, Chakan looks like Eddie, Iron Maidens mascot, this guy looks nothing like either. :)
GIGER!!
Hell yes, I love his work, most notably all his stuff from Alien, amazing and eerily sexual, this is that dude from Alien I believe, I used to know what he was, some sort of race that brought the aliens to that planet, I could be wrong though.
I've always wanted to do a piece from Giger, just never had the balls to do it, theres a ton of detail in his work, with that said, you are the man fdlsk!
Was a money tree growing in your backyard? :P
Pizazz, sheen, slick, pretty, whatever. :P
Your making us modelers look bad, stop geting so good! :P
Nah man, your improving fast, and for the package you use, it's very impressive, shame about the renders though, could use some more pizazz, either way, job well done. :)
Hmm, kinda reminds me of metal gear from MGS, was that the source of your inspiration, or not? :P
Yarp, that's where the seam is for the unwrapped UV's, personally I would of done it on the back of the head, not many people tend to stare at the back of peoples heads, unless their up to no good. :P
Some fantastic weighting failure here. :)
It does leave me wondering though, what on earth possessed you to post this up? I mean it doesn't look very good on your part, especially after showing some top notch work in the past. :/
If you wanted to show this off, shouldn't it go in like a bloopers featurette AFTER you finished making the mod? :P
Or it's just an anatomy study?
Man your modeling is getting really good, nice effort!
I don't know why you don't just switch to a more robust 3d package, you clearly have the skills for it. :)
Basically yes, but very small by the looks of things. :P
I agree to some extent about the bevels, it all depends on how close they will be showing this off, and yes, it really does need more details, I've already said that.
Robot porn!
please don't say she strips everything that makes her look human, it's already worrying that I'm attracted to her! :P
