Vaktoth WIP

[zohrath_1]

Here's what I'm currently working on from time to time, with modeling almost done. Any suggestions?

 

[Marc]

Yeah, texture it, print it and frame it. She's a beauty. The attention you gave to the guns is fantastic. Are you going to go all-out and model the inside of the cockpit?

 

[Fatcat]

Great Googely-Moogely! Well done on the model. The only problem is that the guns are a little small. They should be longer and a little wider. Other than that, this is spectacular.

 

[zohrath_1]

I won't be modeling the cockpit this time, since it won't be needed for what plan to use the model for. Here's a rear shot too:

Not sure why there's a black spot there...

 

[zohrath_1]

I see I owned the news today... I started texturing the wings, getting the proper colors was a real bitch. I hate kilrathi armour!

Zorath,

I saw the screenshot of your purple jump. I'd like to see if I could include that purple jump into flight commander. Is it a model that you could export to obj?

 

[zohrath_1]

The model is a simple tube, but the purple is a max material, which I'm not sure how to transfer into a game engine, but you're welcome to try.

 

[Tolwyn]

I would propose an animated material, for example a *.dds sequence.

 

[Kilrah]

Beautiful model, it looks really solid. How do you give the look it has before the textures?

 

[Ptarmigan]

Cool Vaktoth!

 

[eddieb]

I would propose an animated material, for example a *.dds sequence.

An animated texture would be fine, as long as I can eventually convert to jpeg or png.

 

[Tolwyn]

as long as the engine supports a sequence of images to be displayed on a 3d model.

 

[Magnum]

I'm seeing a lot of blurring or artifacting in those textures. What size and file format are you using?

 

[zohrath_1]

Beautiful model, it looks really solid. How do you give the look it has before the textures?

Just use a sky light with the light tracer active in advanced lighting.

Magnum: That's just dirt I painted, the textures are 1024x768.

All done now I think:

 

[Marc]

fantastic. I don't know what you have planned for this baby but I'd shure like to see her fly some day.

 

[Kilrah]

It’s beautiful! Well done.

-" banging fists on monitor"- Damn I can't touch it!
Fantastic work Master! Textureing needs a bit of dirt maybe, its too clean, especially the light-gray parts. I hope you gonna make a nice wallpaper with it

 

[Paddybhoy]

it looks slightly like its cell-shaded

 

[lorddarthvik]

Paddybhoy got it right! beacus every face is extruded, every face has a dark edge. That and the colors make it feel like cellshaded The details on the clay render looks fantastic anyway!

 

[zohrath_1]

And I thought I went a little overboard with the dirt! Oh well, we'll see how it looks animated
