You leaving just because of some tiny drama? Lame.

I tried to fix the wrap in the chest. Looks better now?

---

how it was

 

[Mulgrim]

much better i don't know what i can find that's wrong with it.

Way better! Now one can actually see the muscles and that it is in fact a chest, not just some blur.

 

[Mulgrim]

blur.

blur? fur!

the fur should be a tad more detailed (if that is fur)

 

[Pyritie]

Custom texture?

 

[HappyCockroach]

Custom texture?

Huntress texture and Crypt Lord for egyptian accessories

 

[Mulgrim]

perfect, my laptop is fucked. i think i have to start over again now on another one

 

[Slaydon]

Umm, did i do something wrong with the points or is it supposed to be like that? i wont be using so many polies on this ;D, does it look good? xD

 

[RED BARON]

Considering we are dealing with a statue I would assume it to be stone or maybe black onyx.. So it looking like fur would be rather strange, although there could of course be moss on it

Umm, did i do something wrong with the points or is it supposed to be like that? i wont be using so many polies on this ;D, does it look good? xD

If you mean the polies you can't see then it appear like you used the place a single poly at a time... Maybe I don't know what you are asking.. at any rate you can always select and delete those you find unneeded.

 

[chilla_killa]

@Slaydon:The wrapping looks not very good

 

[Slaydon]

@Slaydon:The wrapping looks not very good

you mean the eyes? ill try to fix it, and i mean, shouldnt they get connected or something?

 

[Forgotten_Warlord]

When does this compitition end?

 

[Slaydon]

i would like to get some more feedback, im unsure if i made the poly's rite, and how do i fill them

 

[Pyritie]

When does this compitition end?

First post, at the bottom

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

@ Slaydon : i agree with chilla killa. the wrapping is not that good. i think he means the horn i think. there is pretty much no limit on polys so you could invest in more polys into making the thing a bit more round. one or two extra polys wont kill ya

 

[Slaydon]

but, i need a bit help to fill the points and to make that a group, ill fix the "Horn"

 

[HappyCockroach]

Slaydon, good to know you're putting effort on it! Don't give up! It looks interesting so far...

@Mulgrim/RED_BARON: I'm dealing with Huntress' texture. It isn't custom. So, no moss, nor fur.

you're using milkshape yeah? select 3 vertexes you placed and press 'F' to create a polygon betweem them, and repeat that with all the vertexes. assuming that's what you were asking.

Also, new whip. i've finished the mesh and wrap, and assiged the bones to the vertexes. now for the tedious job of animation...

 

[Slaydon]

i need help to connect my points ppl, and make it a group and shape it.

Looks kewl! Now for the awesome job of animation!

By points do you mean vertices?

To add everything to the same object, go to element (on the right) then look for the "Attach" button. Click that then click on your other objects you want to merge.

lol is that goma? from zelda

 

[HappyCockroach]

WIP time

 

[tee.dubs]

Wow, its pretty epic. no wonder the egyptians worshiped that.

lol is that goma? from zelda

actually it isnt, its just a coincidence lol. i've never played zelda to be honest, but i searched gohma and i can see the resemblance

 

[Forgotten_Warlord]

lol
nice

 

[Time-to-die]

WIP

He is a little big, but it is my WIP shot. Just about to start the animating.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

what the? a beach monster?

 

[Slaydon]

Wip , how do i place bones and animate xP, ill do that afterwards ofcourse

 

[tee.dubs]

mawww, its a coote colossus! its looking very nice, especially for a learning modeller. as for animation, the milkshape website has a pretty good tutorial on joints and vertex assignment, just click on the online and find the animation section. it'll explain things much better than most tutorials.

 

[Slaydon]

thanks again, for all you said

 

[tee.dubs]

this totes happened by accident, lawl.

 

[Misha]

this totes happened by accident, lawl.

Don't Change Anything! We have a Winner xD

 

[Slaydon]

xD, well, i tried (Got help from Pyramidhe@d) to place textures in Model editor and then test ingame, but it wont work, i deleted the eyes since they wouldnt load for some reason, but can someone help?

Dont find the name funny XP

 

[tee.dubs]

your texture paths arent correct, they need the full path extension in order to work, eg "Textures\SteamEngine.blp" or "ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNPoo.blp", rather than just "SteamEngine.blp". you need to go into image extractor and search for the images and take note of their full texture paths, i'd fix them for you but my image extractor fucked up and i'm too tired to fix it right now. plus its all a learning experience

 

[Wraithling]

Congrats everyone, the WIPs are looking awesome so far.

 

[ike_ike]

only 608 for some reason. the arms are 220 each.

gonna have a tiny head and floaty legs.

someone find me a uv mapping tut for 3ds pl0x. dont wanna drag this all through vertex modify.

 

[skrab]

Too many polygons ike_ike.

 

[Forgotten_Warlord]

How is that too many polys? lol

 

[Pyritie]

How is that too many polys? lol

Pssst... it's sarcasm

 

[skrab]

Well from the picture I see ~1200 tris. Maybe his mesh is Editable poly not mesh...

correct me if I'm wrong

 

[Forgotten_Warlord]

I think it looks too good to be worried about polys lol

 

[Mulgrim]

yay pc is working again i'll post WIP's as soon as possible.

 

[HappyCockroach]

I think we shouldn't worry that much about polies...

I'd only worry about them if my model came to have around 2000 polies after finished... oh shi-!

 

[HappyTauren]

608 polygons, but likely 1800 triangles.

 

[ike_ike]

cowwect.

now i just gotta work out how to export. and rig. and animate. and uv map. and skin. maybe not in that order.

 

[Palaslayer]

i love it so far

 

[tee.dubs]

a bootiful. *blow kiss*

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Texture better be awesome too
