My Models?

[Kwah]

With lots of help from the amazing Rao Dao Zao, and using the Milk Shape 30-Day demo (I started yesterday), I've begun to craft some models. Not necessarily for War3, although this one is going to be.

Power Station

Concept

It's around 350 polies, the orb on top rotates, and will have the particle effect attached.

Wips

Finished!

It's finished, except for animations

Plasma Coil

It's rather self explanatory. Far too many polies.

Other Concepts

The pyramid will fold out to reveal solar cells.

Energy storage of a sorts.

Comments & whatnot welcome. My style was highly inspired my Rao's stuff, which can be found @ http://www.rdznet.com. I'm going to but Milkshape soon (only ~20$).

Nice

why do you need the orb to rotate?, it wouldnt be really noticeable unless its gonna have a multicolored texture...

and if its not rotation i sugest useing a billboarded plane, which u can do through magos (war3modeleditor) not sure if u can im ms3d... btw i think ms3d dosnt self disable after the 30 days....

I'm going to re-skin it soon.

and if its not rotation i sugest useing a billboarded plane, which u can do through magos (war3modeleditor) not sure if u can im ms3d... btw i think ms3d dosnt self disable after the 30 days....

I remember Rao commenting on something like that. Thanks.

~Added Plasma Coil, Wips.

... it looks alright but very bland and simplistic buildings

 

[Traxamillion]

Cool stuff love to see them finished.

Particle effects halp? And yes, they are.

Tanx.

Nice beginning. Keep up the good work.

 

[hawk_767]

look very good but the coil looks a little bland. maybe a more metallic texture?

 

[Kwah]

I'll try to finish skinning #1 tomorrow, and export to an .mdx, to add build/death anims.

EDIT: Coil texture is just a copy of the testing one for the powerstation.

........ btw i think ms3d dosnt self disable after the 30 days....

after 30 days you won´t be able to save your models :/

 

[Devine]

meh ...
it's okay, I guess.

 

[Kwah]

Yeah.

meh ...
it's okay, I guess.

thanks ...
I guess.

Anyway, I'll start texturing in earnest today.

The models (both concept and mesh) are way too simple, they lack 'style'...just a bunch of arranged 3D objects. The power station needs improvement. Like, something at the outline, that breaks its symmetry, or something that would look less childish.
The textures are creative, just too flat. You could give them a harder work. The wrapping could be better as well.
But you are doing good.
Keep up.

 

[Bloody_Turds]

hmm, although theres prolly an easy way round that >.> i wont get into any detail though..

 

[Kwah]

Updated with my completed (minus animations) first model. Here and first post. I'll still improve the texture some.

 

[Lestat]

That's better, but I still think it looks like a lever...
to be a power station it would need some building aspects, like windows or anything like that...

 

[Bloody_Turds]

fyi for the second model you could do that with a few flat planes, and one of them locked on the Z axis.... plus it will seem compleetly round..
Heres an example

btw ur first model is nice

 

[Kwah]

I'll take a look at them soon!

Thanks.

Lamps?

For the Icarthian-thingy game. Textures are lame obviously. Much thanks to Rao for helping me with poly counts. Which are: 84, 84, and 48 respectively.

 

[Bloody_Turds]

I love lamp.... ^.^ and no im not just saying that..

 

[Kwah]

Any one in particular?
