i think pred1ator is a retard that doesn't understand model quality, and is just tryin to troll me and the rest of the modern combat team like he did to dano. pred1ator seems like a stupid scene kid out for attention.
Not just you. He -rep'd my walther because of smoothing errors Ross pointed out. He was trying to "sway towards ross opinion" rather than judging the gun for it's acurracy and poly flow arrangement. I agree with you snaf.

[Rob Oplawar]

I was playing around in max, and I came across a model I made a while back, and realized the way I had done it it wouldn't be too hard to seal it off, blow it up, and turn it inside-out to make a nifty bsp. So I did (I just tossed some generic tiled textures on it)

And I tried giving it different lighting as well.
http://www.spacebrick.net/pictures/gallery/roundroom5small.jpg

Shouldn't be too hard to figure out what this was before I blew it up (10,000% original size) and turned it inside out- look at the middle of the 3rd pic for a dead give away.

But I like it so much, I may just tidy it up a bit, apply some nice textures, and put it ingame as a real mp map.

If thats going in halo ce it needs less tri's if its just a gun model it needs more detail and quads.


This is my second poly by poly modeled gun btw.

[legionaire45]

I thought HCE could take up to 5-6K triangles for FP weapons (pushing it) =/. After optimizations my gun should be better. I hope =P.

Not sure what I'm going to do with it exactly. I could replace the horribly inaccurate MP7 in Half Life 2 with it just for shits and giggles. Or I could throw it onto turbosquid and make $5 a year off of it.

Next gun im going to work on after this is either the UMP or the G36(maybe the commando variant. I seem to have some strange fetish for SMGs/PDWs as of late).

Still working on some stuff. I also need to add a screw or 2 here or there (I could texture em' on but in this case the screws extend out a bit so it would look better if I modeled it in). I'm also going to make the extended clip later too, as well as a holosite or something.

Oh yeah, 3914 triangles right now.

um...no what in the fuck does poly by poly modeling mean? plane modeling is correct. and no it does not need less tris, 6,000 should probably be your max.

either way needs more models.

legionaire45, don't listen to anything this guy says, he has no clue what he is talking about. his modeling knowledge is equivalent to that of a kid with down syndrome.

killa, as ross pointed out, proportions are way off. as well as accuracy.

try to find some better ref pics online, you're probably better off starting over. i'm not sure what you searched for but try using Browning M2 or Browning M2HB

Poly by poly modeling means creating one polygon at a time. I have no idea how this plane modeling crap started.
He can let his model poly count be the same as a next gen biped if he wants.
Just suggesting to keep it around the orignal halo weapons poly count.

Look up poly by poly modeling.

[SnaFuBAR]

how about you look up my post. i know what i'm talking about.

[PenGuin1362]

i said drop it, but since you persist, that is NOT plane modeling, plane modeling is when the modeler uses a plane to hold a reference image and create the model to the image on the plane. not using planes to model.

[phase]

how about you look up my post. i know what i'm talking about.
give me a link to two tutorials that state the method there using is plane modeling and ill shut the fuck up.
Edits:eh penguin I thought its called plane modeling becuse you model stuff starting with a plane like snafubar said.
Lets drop this now before I get a warning or a infraction.

[SnaFuBAR]

how about... you post some of your work to show you actually know something instead of appearing to be a scene-kid?

also, if nobody called it plane, why would you suggest that it was called poly-by-poly first? seriously just shut the fuck up.

lookin good Snaf.

Some custom colt I made today in a couple hours. Didn't feel like jumping into the machine gun yet, but kinda felt like modelling a pistol. Too bad I'm going away tomorrow, won't be able to finish it for another week. I like where it's going so far. 1348 tris so far, aiming for about 1500-2000ish when it's done. Keep in mind it's not accurate to any particular colt, just sort of taking what I know about them and making my own. If you don't like the boxy top, too bad, I love it. :)

We are YET to see ANY of your work. All we've heard is "my map" and "my stuff" yet, we see no proof, no nothing. Not even links to previous work. Until then, you are no artist. Artists are ARTISTIC people. For now, your just a scene kid.

Finished all the textures dedicated to my sister. I'm not going to explain what they all mean. If you look real hard at them, and are smart, you'll see.
I'm not going to show my bases until they're properly textured and stuff.

Now heres to start actually finishing my first map :cheers:

[DaneO'Roo]

Well I'm proud of my textures, but I'm not too proud of my modelling. I need serious maya tuts. The ones that come with maya are like....gaytarded. I need severe linkage D:

[Stormwing]

dano have my babies you sexy, sexy beast. :awesome:

...but just to let your know ive asked other people like neuro too tho, but they said no...odd..


but tbh, the textures make the mediocre modeling awesome, so yah. most people would overlook that aspect, me included.
The only thing is..uh...is there an interior? just seems like a big block of metal, or you're just not done yet.

[Snaver]

still tinkering with this base im working on.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/DOMINATOR5/render.jpg

Hog storage POA/New mombasa style, love it!

Also Dano, you're modelling is absolutely fine! take Halo3 for example, there aren't that many crazy high poly meshes, just awesome texture and shader work that make things look great (the right hand side of the bases need the bumps inverted btw :D)
(http://www.h2vista.net/forums/member.php?u=72)

[itszutak]

Dano, I love it. But why is there a Marathon symbol in the center of the top? That's usually associated with the UNSC, and only appears (in forerunner architecture) on the Halo intro logo.

Just my thoughts. :-3

[DaneO'Roo]

^ I dunno, I just did a placeholder thing there. The actual whole top of the strucure, even though it has a tiled texture, I'm going to unwrap and skin, so it's not a tile. It'll be a big fairly complex sort of thing. This map, It's meant to show off my texturing and skinning abilitys. So yeah, there won't really be complex meshes, even though I'd like to, I suck, so I'm just going to make up for it and go all out with texturing.

Also, the structure is hollow, but it will lead down to an underground cavern, wich is also accesable by side tunnels at the base sides of the map and a single teleporter on the structure. I haven't started the underground yet, though.

The middle structure will contain a good vantage point for the whole level, and the power weapon. It is also where KOTH will happen in my map. The hill will be the middle octagon, and the spawns will be around the edges. Bloodbath ftw!


also Snaver, haha you noticed too :P I dunno what I did to make the bumps go like that. Was it cuz I duplicated the pillars?



you know what, for shits and giggles, I'm going to get it ingame UT 2003 LOL

I is need texturing teach too! So I can finish this:
http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f141/thehoodedsmack/waterbase.jpg
Dano? You interested in learning me?

[DaneO'Roo]

add me on aim: dano555666


Theres only so much I can teach though. The rest is up to your imagination and fooling around with combinations of stuff, and how well you can plot out and design.

For example: Flat colour base, fibres filter, fading said filters and applying layer blends to newly created layers, overlaying more layers, coupled with noise filters and bluring some noised areas, low opacity brushes with dense scattering and triple layered rendered clouds, with faded sponge filters, added onto some spray and splatter filters, using exposures and levels to bring out detail, then going over in a faded brush with low opacity and size, touching up things like scratches, scuffs, rips tears and blah blah blah. It's just fucking around with combos until you get what you wan't. After a while though, when you DO want a desired effect, you will know how to get it, without fucking around.

Making a material is easy, really. Anyone can do it. The hardest part of texturing is design. Sure, anyone can filter up cleverly and get a nice rusty metal texture, or a nice marble tile, but to get an intricate wall panel section with broken off panels, copper wires with alpha channels, leds, intricate details and such. That is the hard part.


For example, bungies Sentinal Enforcer diffuse bitmap:

http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/3334/sentenforcerqr4.jpg

The texture isn't too hard, as in the actual textural detail, but just look at the attention to design detail. All the small components of an unkown alien machinery. Thats what seperates the artistic people from the others. The ability to not only create, but design. I can only help other people with creating materials. What they do with the mind and the tools is exactly that. What they can do.

[thehoodedsmack]

Certainly. I can be creative like it's nobody's business. I just can't get the hang of things like UVW mapping and such...

[Sever]

Dane, o like it, but I can't understand why any human civilization would build it. still, it is win.

[.:}_50Çã{_|neا†yles<™>:.]

To everyone who's modeles kicked the crap out of mine :) all mine were done withte box mdoeling technique, without references. I just found a picture of whatiever it was I wanted to model and peeked at it occasionally to determine that I was going in the right direction.

Also, Wings 3D is ntohign special, in terms of fucntionality. Unlike Maya or Max ist can't show the shaders on your models in real time. It can't do real time lighting either. It doesn't have boleans or splines. So, everything has to be done manulay with primitives.

So, am I still using it? IThe interface is fucking genious.

Oh, and I've only been modeling for aobut a year with about an hour of practice everyday.


Now try and beat that.:)

[kenney001]

I didnt use background refernces except for the initial shape (except the BMW). I also use box modeling, but mine dont still look like boxes....so BEAT THAT!! (the BMW was splines and the Glases were NURBS

And actually It shows stupidity on your part BECAUSE you didn't use reference images. I have a good memory for shape, so I dont need to and it distracts me.

I was going to be nice because you are a begginer modeler, but you seem to be having an ego problem about it so I am going to shoot you down with the truth: Your models still look like boxes and are lacking in detail and shape (even without references), you haven't skinned them, they are way out of porportion (It should look better even without a reference pic), and are totally wrong. Your glasses are simple enough to make, but just look decent because of the Awsome rendering of max. (I have to say the glass material is ok)

My advice to you would be to shut up about your models, and keep practicing with it.

[.:}_50Çã{_|neا†yles<™>:.]

Wings 3D doesn't have splines or nurbes. In maya, you can make a wineglass in about 30 seconds by just taking a curve and revolving it.

The only reaosn I whaven't switched to GMAX is that the camera rotation feels a bit wierd..


I also use box modeling, but mine dont still look like boxes...
What was them poly counts?

[kenney001]

why does it matter?

Dragunov was 3k pollies
mac was ~2k
BMW -something high (because of splines)
Glock was ~1k
Paintball gun before that meshsmooth was 2.5k
indie Car was ~1.7k before the tires. (they are for show)

I really dont see how this matters, because I can probably guess yours are extremely low poly because of the lack of detail. and the incredible use of...boxes..

[.:}_50Çã{_|neا†yles<™>:.]

I'm just curious.. I'm at a huge disadvantage bcause Wings doesn't have half the stuff that other apps do..

[Lightning]

Oh, and I've only been modeling for aobut a year with about an hour of practice everyday.


You don't need to practice to get "good" at modeling. It's learned over time.

"K MOM IM GOING TO PRACTICE MOVING DOTS NOW."

[kenney001]

back on topic:
Leukemia inspired me to model the origional 1911, so after about 2 and a half hours, heres what I've got so far:

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s13/kenney001/colt1911.jpg

Now onto skinning...

[Leiukemia]

You're missing some details, and some parts of it are just plain wrong... A colt is by now means something hard to model either, so get looking at some more referance pictures before you start uvw mapping that. I'm not so sure I'd like to see what you've done with the internals either. Also, polycounts have everything to do with it. Being able to keep a model highly detailed with low polycounts is a talent. Even if it's not for a video game. Making a render uses up all those polygons too, the less you have the faster it's going to render. Blegh, I'm just really one who hates messy meshes.

[kenney001]

I am confused. That is almost identical to the reference pic i used, and I don't really see any detail i left out other than the internals (no done yet, I dont have any good reference pics on this yet).

If you would be kind enough to point out the mistakes or parts missing it would be greatly appreciated (PM maybe so we dont knock this thread off-track).

here is my reference pic:

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h94/vote1sanches/colt1911_black_1.jpg

*EDIT* aw crap i see i forgot the safety lever spring (the cylender above the grip)

[Patrickssj6]

are you blind or something?

[kenney001]

No im not. I just dont see what you are talking about. I see some small trivial things (a notch in the slide, a screw behind the safety latch) but nothing that severe. As I said it would be greatly appreciated if you guys would instead of saying "are you blind" give me some pointers. please.

Yeah it's a gun we can see that at least.

Do you want details now or not? You are kinda contradicting yourself in the post.

I modeled before (hard to imagine) and I can pretty much say that even I am capable of modeling something you did.

Just add all the useless, unsevere details in the reference picture. :D

[SnaFuBAR]

you're just absolutely not reading the form correctly. your details are poorly shaped, and a lot of the larger pieces just appear plain wrong.

Beaten, k?

[Archon23]

Heh I like the title Arbrams~1.WIN

I know thats just the file type but still its kinda funny XD.

[Leiukemia]

Well, there's one problem right there kenney. You need to look at the gun from all angles. Just one ref won't do. I often spend a good amount of time myself looking at lots of referance pictures before I even begin modelling. Here, I want you to look at this site. It's awesome, it has tons of pictures. Just have a good look at them. to use it, click on the little picture. A thing will pop up. Click the link that sais "view original picture". You'll get nice big clear pictures of all angles. It would aslo be good if you actually picked a certain type of 1911, so you can find all the right pictures for it and make it accurate, without mix-matching of styles. Unless you're actually going for a custom gun. http://www.imagestation.com/album/pictures.html?id=4288390859

Also, I did a little edit of the picture to show you a few things you could fix. Details missing, some smoothing groups that shouldn't be the same. Also, some other thing's I'm seeing. The front. The little peice there, have a look at some pictures and you'll see why it's wrong. On the other side, you're missing some little screw knob things. Also, your slide is too low, it's going through the frame. Line up the coordinate properly, rather then going by eye. Your ejection port is off, take a look at some pics. You'll se it has a little cut out part on the back half. It's also too thin, like the thickness of the inside. The dove tail (the peice on the back) is not shaped right, look at some pics. You're also missing another peice on the bottom back of the frame. The clip is just completely wrong. Just look at some pics and redo it. The front sight looks like it's too thick, and welded to the slide. Doesn't need to be, and if the rear sight is part of the slide it doesn't need to be either. The hole in the barrel is not needed, and even if you insist on keeping it, it's not the right thickness. Learn what the peices do, it'll help you model. Like, for one thing. The part that locks the slide open, it'll meet up with a little dug out in the slide when it's back. Once you find out what I'm talking about, it'll help you know how far back the slide goes, cause those parts will have to line up. Same with the slide lock to keep it closed. Another thing. The trigger guard should smooth into the rest of the gun, not stick out like that. Doesn't look like the back of the slide is right either, but I can't tell you why without a picture of it.
http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h320/Duncgs/colt1911_black_1copy.jpg

There, that should tide you over. I've modelled 2 colts now, and looked at tons of pictures of them, so I knew pretty well what they should look like. I didn't even look at referance pictures to tell you this, I knew already just because I took the time to research the gun a little bit. Had you done the same, you would have been able to se all the things I did. If you're still having problems, just give me a shout.

[DaneO'Roo]

Dane, o like it, but I can't understand why any human civilization would build it. still, it is win.

Why do the forerunners put lots of random useless objects around the place?


Videogame tbh.

[Leiukemia]

Videogame tbh.

I don't know why, but that made me crack up.

[kenney001]

GAh. I notices those (I refered to them as "trivial" because its not the generic shape of the weapon) but didnt think they'd make that much of a difference. I fixed them, took a look at the new render, took a look at the old, and now I understand what you guys were talking about. I was origionally thinking like my slide was un-porportional to the body, my grip was too slanted, etc.

Thanks, that post looks like it took time to make Leukemia. That was a big help, and that was what I was looking for.

[DaneO'Roo]

I don't know why, but that made me crack up.

Was it laughing at me, or what I said D:

[kenney001]

This better?

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s13/kenney001/1911-2.jpg

I know its still no where near perfect,and its a little choppy because i did a lower-res render with a low number of light samples, because i wanted a quick render.

[kenney001]

Im not really going for any year, just a general 1911 look. I added that trugger because it looks soo cool.

[Sever]

@Dane: I fully understand the logic behind it, and it does make more sense than most Forerunner structures, but it still looks too chaotic from the current perspective. Guess we'll just have to see it in-game to judge it better *coughbetacough*

I decided I didn't like most of it, so I redid a lot. My Picatinny rail was absolutely wrong. Yes, so wrong I had to write it in size 7 hot pink font.

But yeah, I'm in the process of:

fixing the loop thingers for the shoulder strap (the big gaping hole near the front of it right now
adding some switches/other little important details
making the smaller side Picatinny rail(s)
tweaking the pistol grip
making and tweaking the receiver
making and tweaking both versions of the clip (20 and 40 round)
making the iron sights/holosight/whatever other 20lbs of crap I'm going to attach to this thing (DUAL TACTICAL FLASH LIGHTS FOR THE FUCK OF IT!)Shit I need to do:

Unshitify the Cocking Handle
Unshitify my temporary screws (The boxy cylinder things at the back)
Unshitify the Clip-release button
Unshitify the front grip/handle thinger
Make the Gun less fat while maintaining the shape of the gap around the barrel
Clean up the mesh a little
Beg Dano to give me a basic runthrough of how I should go about texturing this 3,400 poly monster.

ftfy. it's not an smg. it doesn't spit pistol caliber rounds.

[ExAm]

If it's not a heavy machine gun, or a light machine gun, it's a submachine gun. Caliber? Pah. PDW stands for Personal Defense Weapon. Basically any submachine gun could pass for a "personal defense weapon". I'm pretty sure about that.

EDIT: I wiki-owned myself :(
I really don't see why it would be that way, though. It's illogical.

On the other hand, the FN P90's wiki says it's a submachine gun. I guess the definition of both terms is up for some debate.

Well actually, I'm making a bump map which I then use to copy on the alpha channel of the diffuse and multipurpose textures, then I'll go render lighting effects and give it a fake bump from a frontish sort of angle. The bump will be saved for H2V. The gun won't be fake bumped in H2V, only proper bumped with proper normals :3

"wtf thats totally wrong" wich sets me back abit. I plan on doing this whole guns bump, diffuse, spec and multipurpose in one sitting today. So I'm chucking an all nighter. It's about 4 am at the moment.

I've put the bump on hold for now, but I've started the very beginning basic foundation of the texture, how I start all my textures. Make a base material, and then lighten, darken, colour areas on that layer that need difference from each other. Then I go over the top with the details.

http://img108.imageshack.us/img108/8356/artexturesofar2pb7.jpg

as you can see it's very basic, so don't expect any win in that direction yet. In a few hours, you'll see. Bump map is like 90 percent, once I get that done, the diffuse texture will move pretty quickly. Then I'll make a nice spec map and render it for yas. Tommorow Masterz can ingame it.

*edit*
Actually, scratch that. I need some fucking sleep. I'll finish it later. expect a massive update in about 7 hours.

as you can see it's very basic, so don't expect any win in that direction yet. In a few hours, you'll see. Bump map is like 90 percent, once I get that done, the diffuse texture will move pretty quickly. Then I'll make a nice spec map and render it for yas. Tommorow Masterz can ingame it.

Actually, scratch that. I need some fucking sleep. I'll finish it later. expect a massive update in about 7 hours.I has no words D:

Yeah, I've had to fix ALOT of model stuff as I've been going. I'll go to make teh bump for a spot and look at a reference pic and be like
"wtf thats totally wrong" wich sets me back abit. I plan on doing this whole guns bump, diffuse, spec and multipurpose in one sitting today. So I'm chucking an all nighter. It's about 4 am at the moment.

tbh, all of us good modelers ARE interested in more than just guns. the thing is, though, that guns have specific details and lots of surface changes that are just pleasing to the eyes.

[DaaxGhost]

Nice job Ross,; I like it. ;)

[DOMINATOR]

Damn. Why is like every good modeler only interested in weapons? Nicely done btw.
im not... dunno if you guys consider me a good modeler but i don't like modeling weapons. Structures and Terrain are my favorite then vehicles (cars)

[mech]

Because guns are easy as shit to make, and thats just about all anyone knows how to get ingame on these boards.

Also, we've barely scratched the surface of modelling; give zbrush a try.

I know I am :) I love 500mil poly modelling <3

[Random]

Damn. Why is like every good modeler only interested in weapons? Nicely done btw.

Because guns typically have the most detail and modeling details is fun. Maps are fun too because they are.

YOU IS HORRIBLE! :mad:

:) lies. yes dom you're a good modeler.

it all depends on the person really. most of us get enjoyment out of the amount of detail we put into our models, and guns offer the most detail a lot of the time so we choose them.

[Roostervier]

I want to animate these WWII riflez liek yo. Makes me cringe knowing I won't be unless I model my own D:

Did you just use the reference pic of the AUG as the texture? :confused2:

[kenney001]

c'mon Daax, you gotta stop using that UVW technique and use some real UVW's. Lets see the model without the...skin. Its kindof hard to see.

[DaaxGhost]

ok..sorry..lol And Rentafence yes i did. it kinda screwed up. but let's see. I was looking around in my max folders, and found my first and oldest 3d model. it was my first model i ever made in 2004. it was made in 3dsmax 6.
It was the worst i have evur modelled, but it has a cool design i think.
Its not much of a WIP, anymore. i made the shells myself. (poor though). I made everything on that gun myself; It was funny i found it in autoback saved from : Sept 20, 2004/ 5:43:29 pm.

hahah pay attention. i hadn't gotten halo. it was my first model. I didn't think of how to look at it. I was 11, so i just made it for fun in 3ds max 6. it worked. I just liked looking at it. i trashed it earlier today. cuase well its really not needable and my other models are movin' in. And yea. its supposed to be a gun; its a piece of shit. :rolleyes:

it's from the Quad RIS mostly. it's a different style. i'll get a closer render of the hand guard and you'll see what i mean. and getting in game would be fine for me i've gone higher in my game before but generally if it's for serious use that is extremely high. i'd put it in just for my enjoyment ^_^

Only way that model will get ingame is threw normal maping.

[Bad Waffle]

what are you talking about? you can easily get that model ingame, and it will run fine as long as there is only one of them. And that is the case, because it is a fp model.

[phase]

Every one who has modeled for past gen games would stab any one who tryed to put a model with that polycount in game.

1625 polys so far :l

Yeah, no. Halo (a five-and-a-half year old game, mind you) can support upwards of 10 000 TRIANGLES for FP models without any framerate impact from my experience.

I thought it was "10,000 Tri's can be rendered on screen without getting fps lag." Or something like that, nonetheless Phase is wrong. :eyesroll:

[PenGuin1362]

dano and wol said it all.

halo can run this thing perfectly fine. whether or not your card can handle it is another story. lucky for me i can run it just fine. ^_^

if yours can't...well then...sucks for you :D

[Leiukemia]

And another thing, honestly why keep lingering on past gen games anyways phase? Seriously, a good way to expand on your modelling skills is to move on to better things like source and such that can take the 9-10 thousand tricounts. You could damn near model all the battle damage into the thing with that much stuff to toss around, but it would take an experianced modeller to do so. I think it's good that Penguin can move on from the silly tricounts of halo 1. Realize that games coming out, the ones that penguin will most likely be part of developing, require the skill to make a detailed 7-8 thousand tri count object. And I don't want to hear none of that pussy texture shit. I read up just awhile ago on the crysis engine that it would be more worthwile to model the details on then use higher res textures, normal maps, etc. Believe it or not, those create lag too. Games are being geared towards higher tricounts. Embrace it.

[DaaxGhost]
