Oh shit, really? Where???

Of course I’m aware of that one, but with awesomeface.jpg I meant the original huge one with yellow colours.

Yeah, I wasn’t looking hard or anything, I just thought it would be amusing to call you out! Cheers, I’m only a couple of months into really properly working with 3D, and apart from a very basic alarm clock that was my first creation which wasn’t following a very specific step-by-step tutorial. Unfortunately, I didn’t put any effort into sorting out proportions, which is why the legs are so tiny, and the back leg isn’t a different shape than the other two, and the top of the turret is too big, etc.

ManlyStump, at first i thought that was just a screenshot of a turret from the game, not something you made.

Good job! :smiley:

#344

Thanks! I guess nicking the in-game textures didn’t help that!

#345

For someone new to modelling that is really good, regardless! :slight_smile:

Update time: :smiley:

Thanks,

Harry.

#346

You never fail to amaze me Harry! May I ask how long you’ve been doing this?

#347

Thanks man! Not very long, about 2 years on and off; it’s just a hobby of mine. I’ve only recently been taking it ‘seriously’ if you can call it that. I’m still at school so I can only work when I can make a gap in my coursework. :wink:

Last update for tonight: :slight_smile:

Thanks,

Harry.

You should look into a possible career as modeller, it takes a lot of motivation, which obviously you don’t lack.

#349

Your work is amazing!

Indeed.

#350

Even Sir. James motherfucker Kane said so.

#351

Euclideon seem to want high poly modellers!

#352

Wow, thanks guys! I’d love to get into something like that; I’m still at school at the moment but I’m starting to put a portfolio together for Uni. :wink:

I’ll start taking it more seriously next year. :smiley:

Slowly but surely starting to take shape: :wink:

Thanks,

Harry.

Really amazing work you’ve pulled of in 2 years.
What light set up do you use? Im more into cinema for now but ill try out this 3D max everyone is talking about :stuck_out_tongue:

#355

Thanks! :slight_smile:

I use the basic, built-in Scanline renderer and a Skylight for most of these. It’s really simple, quick to set up and renders fast. (about a minute)

For final renders I get a little more complicated, using Metal-Ray, HDR and the like. :wink:

Update time; started working on the back. It still needs some work though: :slight_smile:

Thanks,

Harry.

#356

I went back and fixed some of the proportions, and of course, added some more small details. :slight_smile:

The arms are next! :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks,

Harry.

#357

Shit man! That’s really good.

#358

Thanks. :smiley:

Uuuuuupdate time: :slight_smile:

Harry.
