Sorry, but I am still workin on a final portfilio. You can see more of my work here:

Very nice.
Might want to use the shot tags to load the images in your post though.
Don't worry it wont stretch the screen, it loads it but then shrinks it so you can click the image and load full size.

Great work, I really like that rocket engine.

[CrAsHOvErRide]

Love the Grunt!

[Roostervier]

looks good to me

[killer9856]

Nice stuff homie

[DarkHalo003]

Never ceases to amaze me. Good job!

[Bastinka]

looks good to me
At first glance I thought you made this thread, either way Roosters work looks really good.

[Heathen]

Love the Grunt!

[Horns]

Great work man.

[Newbkilla]

About time Rooster. Good stuff.

[IceCube]

Lovely stuff Rooster. I'm glad you made it here. Sorta.

:-3

[Rooster]

I just finished this train model. hope you all like!

[Maniac]

Love it.

[Chainsy]

The only crit I have is the fuel nozzle(?) looks like it is just stuck in there, give it like a valve for it to be connected to. (that tube sticking out the lower side right above the back wheels)

[neuro]

i was goign to go lol nice stole-ing, but then i saw it wasn't the same as this one (http://www.ilyanedyal.com/images/big/train_big.jpg)

edit: keep in mind your highpoly doesnt mean much if you don't have a good lowpoly to go along with it to bake into.

[Rooster]

You're absolutely right Neuro. im still wkin on the low poly. its been giving be trouble since some of the floating mesh overlaps. Ill have it done once spring break is over. I have no comp wth me. lol

also, that model u linked looks really good. I saw it a while ago, but keep in mind, in never used it for the actual modeling portion. Hopefully, everyone else will notice that no piece of my model looks like that. (it would hurt a lot for somone to say that i stole my work from somewhere else.)

[Higuy]

Thats really good Rooster, keep up the good work.

[Hunter]

Rooster, your a big boy :P

[neuro]

You're absolutely right Neuro. im still wkin on the low poly. its been giving be trouble since some of the floating mesh overlaps. Ill have it done once spring break is over. I have no comp wth me. lol

it's obvious it's a completely different model, don't worry about it.

that train model was made for Wanted 2 btw, which got canned. it was supposed to be rolling down a mountain slope with you inside, apparently, but i dont know how they'd have done that because their engine sucked ass. THRICE!

[Rooster]

The low poly model is giving me some trouble. The wheels are a bitch... and im having a real hard time putting it all on one texture map. Think ill do two instead. Anyhow, I just felt like posting for some reason. lol


(its gonna be a 1024x1024 in the end. im just workin in higher resolutions for now...)

i just took another look at your train, and i noticed a whole lot of whoopsies going on actually.

nothing major, but small things, they could mess up your normalmap.

also, if you're worried about UVspace, you can copy those door-panels on the sde of the train. just cut a few extra polygons, and map them nicely. you'll want to move the copied doors off your UV sheet for baking though, just move them 1 unit away, and they wont interfere with the baking. should save you a whole lot of space, as for the wheels, i'd go with 3 different ones, since there's 3 wheels per set. also keep in mind that you'll want to bake your ambient for the wheels individually (but im sure you figured that one out yourself)

if the actual wheel model is being a bitch, try having a cylinder for the main hub, without the rim thet pokes out of it, and keeps it on the rails, and just use a plane for that, it'll give you a nice round finish, and with some opacity, you wouldnt notice a thing.

edit: and for the love of god man, cut your poygons into quads.

[Rooster]

i just finished wth baking all of the train but the wheels and fuel tank. im gonna go ahead and start texturing.

@neuro: iv seen ur wk. u obviously know what ur talkin abt. whats the best way to contact you for future help/crit?

[neuro]

my aim is right over there

Very nice stuff man

[Nero]

Sexy as fuck.

[Rooster]

New update. Main parts of texture are nearing completion. Ive started building the rest of the scene for the train. ill post when ready.

The pic bellow uses Xollus view port shader.

[mech]

What are you viewport shader settings?

[DEElekgolo]

What are you viewport shader settings?
I makes my own. :D

Also here is a link (http://www.laurenscorijn.com/viewportshader) to Xoliul's shader.

[Rooster]

Xoliu's shader is amazing. im glad it exists. lol

[Rooster]

Hey. Im gonna be hanging around modacity more cuz I miss the tight knit community feel that polycount doesn't have.

Anyhow, here's my most recent works. I want harsh crit on these. Its for my UDK project (not a game. just a scene).
Im really struggling to find a head I like. I've modeled two so far. But I don't like them. Any ideas would be welcomed. :)

[Cagerrin]

External wiring, and on the front of the arm? Even if it's not meant for combat(which idk, what sort of scene are you planning?), external wiring is just asking for trouble.

Kneejoint(the upper connection at least) looks like it'd snap like a twig with any force against its hinge direction. Same applies to the elbow, though the pad there at least makes it look sturdier.

[Warsaw]

Those are some bold assumptions not knowing what materials it would be made out of or what sort of locks it has inside its joints to prevent motion in the wrong direction. External wires and plumbing have also been found many times in real combat machines, so it's fine.

That being said, I think the hands are a sore spot. On top, they look mechanical and on the bottom they look fleshy. Given that the rest of the arm is mechanical, it's quite jarring to all of a sudden have a human hand with a cybernetic glove sitting on the end. Maybe a texture over it showing it as a dexterous prosthesis is what you had in mind, but I think it detracts. A knee plate would not be remiss, if only for aesthetics. The arm socket could use some kind of small lip around it so it doesn't look like it ends so abruptly.

[Cagerrin]

Whether it's made of some crazy snap-proof material or not, the connection between the upper leg/joint and upper arm/joint looks flimsy, especially in comparison to the thickness of the plating. Also, by "against its hinge direction" I meant "being bent sideways, which doesn't appear to be a function of the knee joint"

[Warsaw]

Again, a bold assumption not knowing what it's made of or what exactly the connection looks like (you can't see it at that angle).

[Rooster]

The model has been updated so that the external wiring is bolted to the bicep plate. That way it doesnt snag on doornobes and such. lol


As for the elbow, i have been trying to find a shape I like. The circle thing does not match the style and looks too thin and flimsy. Ill be sure to update as soon as somethings worth updating.

[Cagerrin]

..which brings to mind tank-wiring, which is pretty sweet.

Could you make the upper part of the joint sickle-shaped? Cup it around the back half of the joint-rings, and slot the "handle" inside the ring embedded in the upper arm? Maybe with the elbow pad connected to a slot in the sickle and pulled by the lower arm when the joint bends?

[Rooster]

Been a while since i've checked in. I thought id give a small update since none of my old hce friend wont move to polycount wth me. lol

anyhow, amazing new! I just received confirmation that I will be doing a 3 month, payed internship at ID software this summer. Im supper excited, and am sure I will learn a lot. In addition, I recently accepted a part time job at Trendy Entertainment where I will be working for the rest of this semester, and after my ID internship is complete. Its great to finally break out of modding and enter the commercial world. Its been a lot of work, but its finally payed off!

Also, here's my ID art test (5240 tri's):
