Sand Worm- 395 Polys so far

This may sound nooby but, how do you make stuff in spoiler tags? Where you click hide/reveal

Is that the worm from Resident Evil 3?

 

[Cavman]

that worm seems a little high poly to me, but I dunno if these are gonne be for wc3 or not.

 

[Massive_attack]

Creative and weird. Looking forward to how your gona do that transformer. Reminds me of Rao's optimus.

 

[Sephiroth_VII]

Ok I made a mistake it actually had 395 Polys. Its not done yet tho. Sand worm is not from resident evil 3.
I don't got how its gonna transform exactly yet. Like the tank treads they should turn into a weapon or fold up or somthing.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Sand Worm from Dune, numb-nutses.

 

[Sephiroth_VII]

519Polys is that to much? Cause I was thinking of segmenting it, and adding even more polys.
SideView

Its supposed to be a giant sand worm, so I dont think people would want to place lots of them on the map, cause it'd be a boss or somthing important to kill. I'm gonna have it jump in and out of the ground with sand particles to try and cover up the fake when it goes in/out of ground. Or maybe there's a spawn object I can make when it hits the ground.

looks more like a sea cucumber.

Here's how it is. Finished it a few weeks ago.
It has like 900 somthin polys.

Here's the beast. 719 Polys tried to lower it best I could. hows the topology look?

 

[TDR]

The topology is very bad because you have areas where lots and lots of edges converge into a single vertex. That creates ugly artifacts when you apply smoothing (not mesh smooth, just smooth (all polygons belonging to the same smoothing group)). I don't know about the head though, I don't know what it's supposed to be.

 

[Sephiroth_VII]

Its meant to be a wc model so I wont be smoothing it. I tried to lower polys. Its different know, I lowered the polys of the knee caps.

 

[frostwhisper]

No need to lower the polys any more. Looks good as it is.
Except maybe for that part in the upper front legs, where there's a nasty edge.

...yes you are smoothing it. It's smoothed in the screenshot too. As I said, I'm NOT talking about MESHS MOOTH or TURBO SMOOTH. If all polygons are in the same smoothing group, they are smoothed instead of seeing the hard edges.

lol I don't even know how to put them into diffrent smoothing groups. And it looks fine in game with all the edges going to a point like that.

 

[Sephiroth_VII]

I'm in the process of making up my own car model. With as much details and polys as it takes.

pretty fun.
