Factory New

and

Beaten

#42

holly freakin’ banana apples! I use Blender but you sir, You are my God

#43

now render it with LuxRender, please

#44

haha lux or maxwell would look awsm! Set the render to .25fph (frames per hour) :3

If you got the lighting right the blue glow would look amazing.

Alright so I have no idea why but I just got the urge to make him. He’s pretty simple but I think he looks good with the small details and stuff. Maybe I’ll make the COOP bots as well after…

And so it begins:

man you are good as modeler but you are not involved in any dev team :stuck_out_tongue:

#46

It’s not that the model looks “factory new,” it just looks CG. Even right off the assembly line, a metal chassis would have wear marks as a result of construction and shipping. Extra touches like that make 3d models convincing.

#47

Matte’s right. Ad the decals. It’s the little things that count.

#48

No matter what I try, I can’t get it to work. > :frowning:

I’ll definitely be adding those decals though. :stuck_out_tongue:

#49

what’s the problem?

#50

You didn’t tell me you had modeling experience o.o ???

#51

I downloaded the Max 2009 32x .dlr files and put them in the plugins folder…I also put the .ms files in the startup scripts. As far as I can tell that is right…yet when I start Max it says “Luxmax_2009.dlr plugin could not initialize - the procedure could not be found” - yet it shows me the directory it is in so it must have found it. :expressionless:

Haha, a hidden talent. :wink: - I havn’t got much experience with making models compatible for games though. :frowning:

Damn! I can see you being hired by Polyphony Digital, you’d fit in perfectly with them if they ever try to take a spin at something besides racing. But I doubt you’d be interested in that genre of advanced modeling. And before I forget, you sir just earned my new profile pic! Now how about a GLaDOS hi-poly render, eh?

#54

Thanks guys! Your suggestions help a lot. :slight_smile:

Ah, I looked at that and other threads, followed it to the letter and still can’t get it to work. :frowning:

Haha, thanks! :stuck_out_tongue:

GLaDOS would actually be really fun to model! I’ll definitely consider it. :retard:

Here are some wireframes:

#55

Alright, I’m going to improve all the textures and I started by improving the UV’s; before I go to bed, here’s a quick shot of some of the mapped parts:

Night all. :slight_smile:

#56

When did you effing learn how to do this? Your work is amazing

#57

Could I plox request a 1920x1080 render in this position for my desktop?
And, if you have the time, 2 other 1280x1024 ones for my other screens, but that doesn’t matter really.

This is ridonkulously awesome.

#58

Would it be possible for you to share some big ass resolution versions of it, I’d like to compose some simple wallpapers of it? I understand if you aren’t willing to. Thanks in advance. :wink:

#59

For now, I’ll be rendering specific wallpapers for people if they request them (see below) but feel free to edit them or the other high-res renders that I’ll be posting soon. I’ll try and get a render of him at 2048x2048 soon too. :stuck_out_tongue:

Heh, thanks. I’ve been making models for about 5 years; mostly just for fun and my personal portfolio. :wink:

I havn’t forgotten what you said about the .PNG images being inefficient; I’ll be ‘jpeging’ the images shortly. Thanks for the heads-up, I didn’t think about it before. :slight_smile:

You may indeed. Plox enjoy. :3

1920x1080 Wallpaper

Let me know what you think. :wink:

Thanks,
