[TDR]

thanks...I guess...
Finally some more progress on Dependel. Can't wait to finish modeling this dude and start rigging and animating!

 

[frostwhisper]

With a character this cool, I can only assume the animations will be awesome.

 

[Dionesiist]

TDR wins. Very much.

 

[DwarfZealot]

ssssiiicckk....

 

[TDR]

sup fellaz, long time no schnitzel. Here's what I've been up to lately:

Gonna make classic Doom models pack for wc3:

I followed my cacodemon drawing more than the classic doom one though. I'll make changes when I feel like it.

Also, my failed Dominance War 3 entry:
3ds max base mesh:

High poly sculpt:

Normal mapped low poly model:

And another failed mini challenge entry:
concept:

and this is all I've done :

That is all folks.

 

[SuPa-]

I still think it's really unfortunate that you didn't get to finish both of those models :[
Everything looks good

 

[TDR]

It's not unfortunate, it's me being an idiot.

oh, and could a kind mod/admin please change my thread title from "...(not wc3 related)" to "...(not warcraft related)"? Pretty please?

 

[Burning_Dragoon5]

Your doom related models are really impressive. Keep it up !!!!

I saw your spiderhead and the doom hero (don't know the name) riding it in the Game artisan site. You didn't finish it in time? Too bad if so.

Your "failed" Dominance war 3 entry is not as "failed" as you say. Well, in my own opinion. Why do you say such a thing?

 

[TDR]

Failed as in I failed to finish on time .

 

[SuPa-]

Awesome job at sculpting your ku dra, by the way
And your dependel is really good, though getting a bit old. I want to see a texture/animations on'm

 

[THE_END]

Aawww poor TDR..he's so busy
You need a clone of you..a midget clone

 

[TDR]

heh, I wish I was busy...as I said, I'm actually an idiot. I always do unimportant things when I have much more important stuff to do. I think it's a form of ADD or something.

 

[TDR]

My cacodemon in doom! HA! (+the wall and floor textures):

And mah weapon! (+wall texture):

 

[HappyTauren]

That is bloody awesome, but how do you come up modding games that are so damn old xD
I mean, sprites are awesome, but it is just much easier to make a 3D model work in game than a sprite

 

[TDR]

Actually I like making sprites much more, don't know why. And Doom will always be THE game for me. It's the game that obsessed my childhood...Turned me from a shithead that was drawing kittens, flowers and shiny happy face suns to a little monster that was drawing demons and gore (my mom was actually concerned about that =)) ). Heretic was also a game that obsessed me back then.
And seeing your stuff in the game of your life is just fantastic. And it's actually very (VERY) easy to make new monsters and stuff for Doom. The wc3 object editor equivalent is a text file called DECORATE in which you write in the attributes of the thing and it's frames sequence for various stuff that it does (it's easier than it sounds). Its possibilities are endless.

 

[SuPa-]

And you can draw in extra effects. Is that what you did with the blood?

 

[TDR]

yep.
I think I'll remake this cacodemon dude, make it especially for Doom. That means I'll make a high poly sculpt of it and then normal maps and so on. That will also make a good model for sc2 :->

 

[frostwhisper]

Heh, most of the models you've done for warcraftIII would fit perfectly in sc2. Their quality is really on a level higher than that of wc3's models.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Can you show your weapon also lying on the ground? From this view is hard to see what it is actually.

 

[TDR]

 

[HappyTauren]

fuck, that is some awesome sculpt xD
Any chance to see it animated?

 

[Mechanical Man]

Ah, I remember that hand cannon which you already showed long time ago on wc3c. I guess it has the power of that BFG 9000. Too bad that a lot of detail is lost when put into game

 

[TDR]

It's not a sculpt, just sub-d modeling. You can see it in action here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kOs6Xf0sGI

I made it just as a super-rocket launcher because I only wanted to test if I can get my content in the game. And I don't know why the quality of the video is so terribly shitty, it was just fine the minute after I uploaded it...

 

[Kuhneghetz]

And I don't know why the quality of the video is so terribly shitty, it was just fine the minute after I uploaded it...

Youtube always tend to compress uploaded videos in a shitty way, no matter how good quality your video originaly is.

Btw, sick (in a good way) use of that old bad-ass weapon.

 

[Dionesiist]

Quite awesome music you've got there.

 

[Burning_Dragoon5]

Heh, most of the models you've done for warcraftIII would fit perfectly in sc2. Their quality is really on a level higher than that of wc3's models.

I know I'll be offtopic, but we'll be able to mod Starcraft 2 as we do for Warcraft 3?

 

[TDR]

aye, at least that's what they say.

 

[HappyTauren]

Even if it was not, TDR would find a way to mod it anyway xD

 

[TDR]

nah, I'm not creative at finding ways to mod stuff . I'm only where the tools are .

 

[Dionesiist]

If you're going to make a high-poly cacodemon, that means you're dumping your classic Doom pack? Also, you could texture your hero-contest-entry and use it in Doom as well, it's awesome.

 

[HappyTauren]

Also, you could texture your hero-contest-entry and use it in Doom as well, it's awesome.

He already did it for homm3
Anyway, I don't really see Shadow effret fitting into the pack for some reason... It looks more like some kind of LORD, and other doom models are meant to be scary/twisted, wheres effret looks just cool.

 

[Dionesiist]

Ahaha, not the Shadow Efreet...

 

[TDR]

I'm not dumping the wc3 model pack. I'm just doing wc3, doom, heroes 3 and oblivion at the same time.
And HT, he's talking about this dude:

I made it for the wc3c hero contest.

 

[HappyTauren]

Oh snap
/facepalm
Anyway, I saw that on wc3c, and it is wicked how you did it all in such a short time. However, the concept beats the shit out of the model itself, I am afraid. Damn stupid contest rules (ingame textures FTL).

 

[Kuhneghetz]

I would guess he'll give the model a custom texture after the contest.

 

[HappyTauren]

..and more detail to mesh. I mean, it just DOES NOT have "Made by TDR" all over it

 

[TDR]

That's mainly due to the ingame textures. And the rules are not stupid; just imagine if the "artist" side of the team was allowed to do whatever he does best...no offense to anyone, but it would have been more like a comp between me, jigrael, whitehorn, Mc !, Erwt, Callahan and RDZ, and anyone else who can do all the modeling, texturing, animation, icons etc.

 

[SuPa-]

You exclude me? D:
Meh, I personally didn't like the rules either, but it's understandable. On the other hand, using in-game textures and the like kind of ruins models, in my opinion, and makes them less your own

 

[TDR]

you weren't on the teams list

 

[SuPa-]

Yeah, no one offered to partner with me when I actually did ask D:
But I didn't know you were basing that off the list

 

[THE_END]

Yea if it was anything goes..I would most likely be owned
Skinning only gets you so far

 

[TDR]

guess who else is going in Doom:

 

[HappyTauren]

is it animated D:
Looks like a render of your high poly sculpt you did some time ago D:

 

[TDR]

...it's the model I did for Dominance War 3, it ain't that old.
And no, it's not animated yet.

 

[Dionesiist]

Make custom texture for your entry, the concept is too win to ignore!

 

[SuPa-]

Sexy..............

 

[TDR]

here's a poo poo I made one night recently because I had more important stuff to do:

 

[frostwhisper]

Heh, nice idea. Like it, a lot.

 

[TDR]

thanks, though it's not really an idea, it's more like random stuff ). I started stacking up cubes and...went ballistic.

Oh and now here's something...several months ago I wanted to get hired at a young vfx company here that was making cg stuff for commercials and stuff. They were really crazy though, they had tons of contracts but no people to work on them...Anyway, I didn't liked the overall atmosphere of the thing and I didn't continue there. But they did give me a first assignment to start with back then.
I had a day to modify a shitty bee model they already had:

For the package of some propolis medicine. But either the client was retarded or they didn't tell me everything, 'cause they told me that they just want that bee to look more mature and to take heavy inspiration from Bee Movie. They said the client didn't gave them any concept whatsoever, they just wanted a more mature looking bee.
So I started off with the head:

Then repaired the hands because they were just dreadfull...I swear, that guy sucked at modeling yet he was one of the 2 guys that founded the comany and was acting all smartassy while looking at my stuff:

(the above one is my repair and the one below is the original version...)

Anyway after I showed my progress to them they told me to change the proportions so I did:

And in the end I submitted this as the final shot:

And what do you know...after the discussion with the client they said they did not like it and only then they showed a concept of what they wanted...And it's a very fucking gay looking bee they wanted:

And fuck that man...they made someone else change that and stuff. I stopped the colaboration then.

 

[frostwhisper]

Surely there's a company that can use your modeling talents better than freaking gay bee-makers...
