Here is a WIP of the Mini Samurai. Better images to come this evening. C&C are welcome and any ideas on how to get the same shape in for less tris too. This is 83 tris.

Cheers~

I like the mini Samurai, may i ask what is the purpose of the model? i mean, for a game or just for the fun of it?

Novian · 14-09-2009, 03:55 PM

mastersotelo: Thank you. The Samurai is the "ammo" for my silly gun the Shogun Shotgun. Where as regular shotguns fire bullets, mine shoots mini Samurai of Doom!

The models (both the Samurai and the gun) are for this Game Art Challenge:

i don't do a lot of modeling anymore cause i don't have as much time anymore, may i ask what software you use?

Novian · 14-09-2009, 04:52 PM

mastersotelo: I use 3DS Max 9 to model.

Cheers~

Updates: New direction with the "bullets" C&C are welcome.

Novian · 16-09-2009, 11:10 AM

Update: The gun. It even has the ability to "crack" open to load the shells. At 312 tris for the gun so far. Need to add the trigger and trigger guard, and the hammer section.

C&C are welcome.

Interesting idea. The gun might need something to make it fit in more with the samurai theme though

Novian · 16-09-2009, 11:57 AM

Perversonality: I agree that it looks plain at the moment due to being untextured. Do you have a sugguestion on how it could look more samuri themed besides textures?

Cheers~

Perversonality · 16-09-2009, 12:25 PM

Could be tricky with the poly count, but adding some samurai style armour plates or a samurai battle flag might help things out

Edit: Actually, to increase the silly factor you could have the flag facing forward under the barrel with the Japanese for "BANG!" written on it (or pseudo-Japanese characters spelling the word in English)

Novian · 16-09-2009, 12:36 PM

Perversonality: Thank you. I like the idea of the armour plates or the flag. I might (resources willing) try both and see how the overall balance plays. Good thought, thank you.

Cheers~

Glad I could help mate

mastersotelo · 16-09-2009, 02:42 PM

i like the armor idea too, but not sure about the flag, i would have see it.

Novian · 17-09-2009, 11:19 AM

Updates: First up I tweaked the Bullets a bit. Added the BANG! flag to them instead of the gun. Seemed better that way. For the Gun I added the hammer section and the trigger and trigger guard. I had a suggestion to make the double trigger as is present with a real double barreled shotgun, and then again to go and make 3 triggers just to be silly but it didn't look too good. With 3 Bullets and the Gun I am at 952 at the moment.

C&C are welcome!
