My first models

[James7]

Alright these are my first models. They're pretty basic but I think I did a good job. I submitted them to the database and they were instantly denied and so I'm posting to see what I did wrong and what I can do to improve.

Alright this is my first model.

Bandit Spearman. It's a Bandit with a Spear. Hence the Name^^

You can download it below. Only 55kb's.

EDIT: Apparently .Mdx's are not allowed to be uploaded here.
So here's the link on The Hive:

Swordsman. He looks kinda like Leonidas from 300. A tiny bit. He's almost 300kb's because I couldn't get rid of some of his animations.

Oo, et tu James? XD

 

[James7]

Wha? .

 

[Kimbo]

Simple head swaps, weapon swaps and animation swaps are NOT modeling, they are model editing and what you did were minor changes.

 

[James7]

Way to be Helpful :/

 

[Mechanical Man]

Those models are ignored, so I wonder which animations has spearman. Can you tell me that?

 

[Elenai]

I see potential in you James7.

I myself started out using simple head swaps and weapon swaps. Keep up the practice, glean knowledge from many scources, and look at the works of other Mdl masters like General Frank, and you will be able to make incredible models.

Thank you Elenai =)

I'm going to be looking at more tutorials and what not to make my models more complex and hopefully better.

Though I still lack any actual modding tools such 3dsmax(Or anything like it), or even Photoshop.

Most of my models will be pretty basic not because I'm not creative or lack the skill,but because of the maps I play I don't need them too flashy.

Well, for your napoleonic map the models must be flashy, if you want them look fire properly. Or not?

Haheha Good point =P

Updates Made

I do not understand how you cannot attach mdx. I can attach them.

Are you using vertex modifier?

 

[James7]

Yeah I'm only using Oinkwinklers tools and Magos's editor.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

That helmet the guard is wearing looks weird, not much helmet like.

 

[James7]

It's probably because I did a bad job on the UV.

It's a cool helmet though. It looks like a Hoplite helmet.

 

[wugiboy]

I started like that, and as a matter of fact I still do that
