Pyritie: Shading shading shading. Also you need to center it to the origin.

31st Oct 2008
Pyritie: Nuuu, center the HANDLE to the origin. That's where it gets attached to something. Also your texture is still off. See this and this.

I know it's 3D, but it looks 2d to me. Get a different angle to show it.

 

[mario_64]

Ill tell you how to improve it. First The shaded Hammer doesn't go well with the yellow try a darker tone and try to add shadows. Another thing learn to wrap so it dosen't looks so ugly.

 

[varsaigen]

... I doubt people will see the yellow trim on the edges when they play in a map that has it. Besides, the yellow trim was needed so the sides of the hammer (where it would be stretched) would be yellow. I will see how a darker color goes for the yellow. Now, what part of the hammer texture should be shaded? (I was unsure)

Edit: I think I may have the center comb pop out a bit to give it that 3-D feel. Sorry Ralle, I guess it's not finished yet. :/

 

[Zerox]

Hmm kinda neat Varsaigen. I didn't know you were making this one. Nice idea.

 

[varsaigen]

Thanks. I had the inspiration and urge while in the chatroom yesterday. Septimus had been talking about his map with the spammed hoasis. XD And he had mentioned how Ralle was hard to beat going solo. XD so that's how I got this.

 

[Lord_T]

Ok. I like it, But i have 3 big problems with it.

1) It needs to be rotated so it's parallel to the ground, it looks FUNKY being held right now. ( 0, 0, 0 is where the attachment will be held )

2) The handle is too detailed... It has way too much polies. 4-5 slices is all you need.

3) The UVM on the sides is stretched. Maybe rewrap it to the same as the front, the honeycomb-type thingy?

Touch it up, and it should be perfectly approvable in no time.

Also, the texture's detail level could probably be dropped.

Ok, I can fix that easily.

Meh. Forgot about that. I'll do that.

3) The UVM on the sides is stretched. Maybe rewrap it to the same as the front, the honeycomb-type thingy?

... I made sure it was yellow... Just what type of detail are you talking about (where the texture stretches)

Ok, thanks for your critique. =D I'll make the changes.

This looks rly weird ingame. It would be nice if you could make it look like honeycombs like the front and back.

 

[varsaigen]

hmmm... Ok, Although, I have been having truoble getting my WE to load custom models in game, so I don't know how bad it looks. :/ Although, I'm sure I could do that

 

[Pyritie]

Also add some sort of shading. It looks too plain.

 

[varsaigen]

ok, Thanks. I'll do that. What sort of shading do you recommend?

 

[Pyritie]

The shading kind of shading. I dunno.

 

[Hawkwing]

Woo hoo. Team spirit. >.>

 

[varsaigen]

lol, Hawkwing. XD I do no I need to improve it before I link this thread to Ralle's page. XD I think it'll be a nice surprise when it's finished. XD

 

[StaberFire]

Here's a bit of an idea of how to shade; take a look at the reputation icon on the hive. All of your honeycombs should look like that so that they stick out and have more definition. Six sides, gradual shades on each end.

Or more like this.

 

[varsaigen]

ok, that makes more sense. Thanks.

Edit: Should it be each one large honeycomb, or many small ones within a large hineycomb?

 

[Xarwin]

Now I know why nobody wants to get hammered .. :/

cool a new hive map!

this model is so awsome but i get this feeling about somethings wrong =P

 

[varsaigen]

yeah. I know. it looks 2D and needs shading. I'm finishing up the shading. on the textures. Then, I'm going to remake the model.

 

[Tleno]

Maybe it should be like zerg Hive, not bee Hive?

 

[goldenkevin]

it gets better and better ^^ 4/5

 

[varsaigen]

... what? Why a zerg hive? Oo Anyway, I'm just about to update it. Just putting a few touches on it.

 

[Hawkwing]

Interesting idea, but he may as well redo it if he decides to do that.

What?

 

[varsaigen]

lol. my thoughts exactly, Hawkwing. Anyway, I have updated it now and it looks more hive-like and has shading for the effect of the center coming out a bit. I also turned it on it's side and fixed all requested changes.

Som with that, it should fair pretty well now.

 

[Misha]

Why thank you Very much varsaigen, for giving Ralle the means to beat me into a pulp xD

 

[varsaigen]

... I had this made before you got banned from chat. And lately, my models have been getting rejected. So, I thought I'd improve this even more as to get another resource accepted instead of rejected. It was just bad timing with your ban that I happened to upload this.

 

[Pyritie]

Meh, it's better, but the bottom two (on the screenshot) hexagons don't have their texture centered properly.

:3

 

[varsaigen]

Ok, this ought to have fixed it.

 

[Misha]

Perhaps you should remove the hexagon on top, and rotate so it faces the ground as a real hammer. i might do better wrap if you suply je with realistic coneycomb strycrure and walls viewed from side and top 8) handle is horrendous 8(

 

[varsaigen]

Misha, I don't see any problems with the top honeycomb, although that may just be me...

Golden, No.

 

[Misha]

kill me if i understood you right now xD xD

 

[varsaigen]

kill me if i understood you right now xD xD

*Varsaigen backstabs Misha in the head, killing him instantly.* Hmmm... must be. I still don't know what you meant. XD

 

[TheBlooddancer]

He means that the yellow hexagons should be tilted 90 degrees, so that they would lie down, and then you should add more of them, so they allmost began to look like a bee-hive.

Some how like this:

Lulz

..
Or atleast i think.

 

[varsaigen]

ah. like it was sliced out of a beehive? XD ok

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Also, try imagine that you could put the shaft ino the "entry". That would also make a nice hammer, but it should overwrite the current. If you ever make such a weapon, re-upload it as 'another' Hive hammer
( +rep )

 

[Misha]

ah. like it was sliced out of a beehive? XD ok

~Misha rises from the dead and speaks:~
lol no xD lemme edit ur hammer and see if you like it afterwards

 

[TheBlooddancer]

I was proven wrong

 

[varsaigen]

Oo. uh... O..k...

 

[Misha]

give me a pm if you agree ^^

 

[varsaigen]

Ok, Misha has made it look awesome. =D using the assassin texture (I hadn't thought of that) and changing the shape of the hammer's head. And... It's teamcolored! =D

Credit has been given in the description and the updated picture as well.

 

[Falconeye]

Hey! Cool dude I like the whole "all-powerful" hammer idea.

 

[varsaigen]

lol. thanks! glad you like it! Misha vastly improved it. XD

 

[LemonBomb]

I like it. So is that what the Hive's Ban Hammer looks like? lol

 

[Falconeye]

I would learn modeling, but I thing I'll just go to bed lol. So are you gonna make more attachments from now on?

 

[varsaigen]

I'm going to make more models, not just attachments. XD It's just that the attachments are easier. XD

Edit: Somehow, this model reminds me of waffles. in both forms (mine / misha's variation). Probably the hammer head. XD

 

[Misha]

ROFLmao Waffles xD i loooove wafles, especially with honey 8)

EDIT: Arrrrr! put "Misha" in your keywords. oO?

 

[varsaigen]

... I thought I did! D: Ok, I'll add it back in there. XD

Edit: I was right, I HAD added it in. But there is a keyword limit. D: I'll have to delete one to make room. :/

Edit: Done.
