poopinmymouth - Dominance War II

[poopinmymouth]

Poop in my mouth, that was close! Posting finals before falling asleep.







3/25 Looks like I'll make it. Tomorrow is face/hair/pose/base day. I'm on Icelandic time so I can stay up late to turn it in, but it will be tight, hehe.

03/24 This is gonna be close, but here's my progress.

03/16 Riflol! Nearing the end of the high poly and getting in gear to finish this guy up, glad for the week long extension! The red part of the rifle is going to be done using particles and glow effects to make it look like it's an energy field and not a solid object.

03/04 Progress! I need to concept out the hands, as they're just blobs in the sketches, then do his gun high poly and the mudboxy bits for him. His torso is gonna be mudboxed, as is the bandana on his arm.

03/01 Dang this is taking me too long, HURRY HURRY.

02/26 Last week was a LAN party (yes a week long), but I'm starting the model. Kind of wondering if it's strong enough to keep going, so I'm doing alternate sketches in my sketchbook to see if I can come up with something better. I did another detail pass to add a little interesting bits, not sure what will stay, and I think I'll add even more later.


and started blocking in the model really roughly to check basic silhouette.

02/19 progress I am working on the rifle design. I'm pretty close to where I want it with the top left design, but I'm still not 100%. The idea is that the barrel itself is an energy field, so the body of the gun is the only solid part.

02/11 progress I want to do a back study and concept on his gun before starting the modeling phase.

Guess I better finally make a thread. I was thumbnailing for the past two days trying to come up with something to get behind, and finally found something I liked. This is super rough, and I'm getting too far into the rendering without ironing out other details, so it's gonna have some changes for sure, but it at least shows the initial direction. I'm gonna sleep on this one and then do some more stuff tomorrow. I'm here on 3dtotal's side to support Arshlevon in protest against the ridiculous drama over the cat thread. Down with the easily pissed off n00bs of polycount.

Good to see you sir. Welcome to the fight.

[Pedro Toledo]

Wow! Ben Mathis is here

Be welcome!

[Archeris]

wow Ben Mathis... damn i learned allot from your tutorials :P And i found your statue in the game oblivion in the main city. I wish you the best of luck!

[GraphicDragon]

Respects! Your concept drawing looks as realistic as a 3D rendering. I realize you don't have the details worked out yet but I like the basic shape. Very original limbs. The legs remind me of those carbon fiber running feet for amputees.

By the way, welcome to 3DT. Good group of folks here. I hope you'll stick around after the Dominance War is over.

[Kalango]

itsa nice to have you here man , be our guest.

[Deto]

Welcome to the right side, Poop!

Cheers, you're my normal mapping hero

[frostsnake]

yea thanx for the help you have given me!
reminds me of i-robot, think its the human face that does that
good to see you signed up for the nr.1 shadow force!

[TheWinterLord]

Yeh, yup u helped me a lot to! the cat thread :S

[BiG ToE-3DT]

This is an a great day for all of Threedy. Ben, you took a break from your travels to hang with Team Threedy.

On a side note, I hope you don't mind but whenever someone has a low poly question, I send them to your site. You got all that and a bag of chips. An update on your last War General would be nice but you being here is good enough for me.

[gridlinked]

Welcome to Threedy, nice concept, dunno why but it brings Asimov to mind.

[bb0x]

I was wondering when and where you would join.

You are kind of my "3d mentor" since i have learned basicly everything with the aid of your tutorials.

Now let get some critisism up
For one I do not like the "twig" like arms, they look way to fragile right now.
The kickboxing headguard like helmet does not look too "cool" in my opinion. It looks like something from an ancient scifi model to me.
And the lower legs, I can't really figure out how to walk with those. Since the lower leg and the feet look connected and looks like a solid object right now, thus how would one walk on those legs.

Apart from the overall design looks good to me, but it would be helpfull if we had some more background information about this guy. Like what kind of robot he is and what kind of fighting style it has (like close ranged hand to hand combat or combat with firing weapons.)

Anyways keep it up, I really look forward to the final piece.

[Jason-Lavoie]

Nice to see you on the team Ben ol buddy.

I read that thread as well... it got pretty intense, but at least the cat pictures help

[arshlevon]

who knows?? poop knows! bam!

looks sweet man. i love the calves.. i think it would look cool if he had slender little fingers too..

viva la resistance!

[yoyomon]

It'll be intresting to see how this model will turn out.
