I never made fun of him on his halo petition thread. and i never said anything bad about his pitbull, you guys are overeacting over 1 stupid joke. grow some balls.
seriously

MCC PC thread: said how i got my xbox one and put a link to the 1999 halo trailer, no problem here

Pitbull: everyone was complaining its a houndeye and thats bullying how? i even tried helping sshers with problems with it.

Ftsshot, no one deserve to get banned.



Megasean, regardless you posting something nice I did remember you pulled out cry engine joke when sshers posted a thread and now everyone is getting involved and decide to do the samething. I'm not pointing a finger at you it's also others are doing it too. I agree one of the flood looks like an hound eye but we all should praise this dude because not everyone can produce what he's doing they have to ripp. And are you 100% sure you helped him out? If so we have to wait and see if sshers4 says anything.

i tried helping out with compiling issues with him on teamviewer, i had to go while doing it though but yeah. thanks for actually understanding btw, i wasnt the one to really start it though >.>

because people were too butthurt for it. in all seriousness idc if people use it in cryengine or not lol.
Edited by MEGASEAN2812 on Aug 20, 2014 at 03:17 PM

sean, you accusing other people of being butthurt and telling them to man up just made my day

for some reason i feel the exact same way you do.

The uv does looks stretched (repeating this in case someone forgot the point being made), maybe you should look into some own textures?

Don't know what all the drama is about above, not in the loop, but anyway. I'm going to give sshers a pat on the back for actually creating something original, instead of ripping everything like everyone else does these days on this forum, no one seems to want to learn and create a skill these days.

So yeah, keep going sshers, but I would like to give some crit and advice that could help you create something better. For example the flood Pitbull, it's a bit, meh. Just a pitbull with it's head cut off and things growing out of it.

Try this, first create a pitbull with realistic proportions and muscle anatomy. Then look into how Bungie and 343 manipulated the Halo Universe's characters to look infected with the flood. For example look at these guys. You can still see the form before they where infected but these's like "boney" plate like armour growing out of them. Try that with the pitbull with it's body, take for example the thigh muscle and harden the edges to look like afew hardened bony plates.

It's hard to explain, manipulate the head to show the teeth more like on the above image and cover it's eyes with more - boney plates, yeah lets call them boney plates - get some veins showing near it's stomach. Essentially make it look like there is another lifeform, growing OVER THE TOP of the existing, not the existing turning INTO another life form.

Hard to explain, but you should get the jist. Your also using Mudbox to sculpt right? It must have some vertex painting function, like zBrush has Poly Paint, use that to create some basic textures and add more detail in Photoshop after, then you can get the UV's right.

The pitbull is a Hound-eye from Half-Life with a different texture. The Tarantula is his own model.

Well the crit still applies.

I know where exactly you're coming from, when I created this thing it was actually my early time and if you did take a glance at the pitbull it doesn't have that biomass flood look or anything and right after that I started to work on the Flood Taranchula and I was concentrate adding biomass and muscles to get that Flood attention. I think that's where I was starting to determine those fault. I do wanted to look like this pitbull got affected example, a dog got affected by a flood but then again dogs has 4 legs and this thing has 3 legs and no head. The texture wasn't really made by I just use bungies textures and modify them because I want them to be part of orginial floods.

I don't use Mudbox by the way, I use Sculptris.


I painted the flood pitbull ages ago but too bad I don't like it





Oh this thing is an insiperation from Black Mesa. The texture does looked stretched and weird.

Type on google, "Sculptris"


I have finished doing flood taranchula standing animation.

Here is the short videos and sorry about the horrible quality.

Looks good. But are you also going start on pitbull?

But, but, but piratebay?!

omg half life 3 confirmed

It's amazing that anyone still remembers Code Lyoko...

i search texture for my current work a jaffa helmet



i did not find goauld metal texture on google image, so i need help for texture it, maybe i will need to make a texture with realistic shape on detail like this:

I know all of you love me.


Note: I DID NOT MAKE THIS. Full credit towards the model (and some animations) goes towards the user i6nis on Facepunch.

It's... beautiful

...why would you just copy someone else's topology?

because id just find one reference pic for left view, i used this topolgy as reference. it's my first biped modeling, i search the easier way for model, use reference of topology is helpfull for me.

So I've been trying to start 3d modeling for the past 2 months and trying to learn as much as I can and I feel like I finally have something worth showing. I tried out modeling maps in something called gmax about 8 years ago and haven't really worked on much since. I was trash. But I'm trying again. Anyways These are a few things I've been working on.

A high poly head

The low poly with a crappy bake

The low poly wireframe. The topology could use some work. Might redo it sometime. 1300 poly for the head(definitely a doable amount for putting in halo)

and the normal for the low poly (UV's could definitely use some work)

The WIP body High poly (have yet to do low poly for it)

And a random animal high poly WIP (kinda hard to see my artistic direction at this point but it is getting there). Low poly I'm hoping for some where in the 6-8k poly range.

Just looking for some criticism on the models, thanks.

Also first post so hello everyone!

EDIT: Just realized I can't show images for 7 days... So until then click the links?

That looks amazing, hope to see more soon.

Thanks for tagging those up for me. I was worried no one would look at them because they weren't readily available. And thanks, hopefully there will be even more to show this weekend.

If you require any baking tut's I can help, but your bake looks pretty nice so far.

The flood animal thing, looks like some sort of spore/egg/flood species. Very indicative of the "ALIENS" genre.

All in all, great work. If anything I would crit you for being too good.

Highpoly models look pretty good, are you using a base lowpoly mesh first for all of it?

And your face topology does need a lot of work, it should flow all around the face not end in triangles.

Every one has to start with low poly boxes, to get the best out of high res modelling.....

Actually, I completely agree about the low poly. In all honesty I just wanted to have something quick instead of clean because I was eager to get it uv'd to be able to try baking for the first time. I was gonna redo the head when I did the rest of the body.

And no, I rarely start with a base mesh first because I find it's easier to do my concepting from a sphere since if I have a basemesh I'll be more likely to follow that than to come up with something new. At least that's with organic things. If it was hard surface I'd do base mesh first... Usually... haha


EDIT:
Just did a bit more on my flood-like spore creature. Still has more work to be done as far as the blending of the body and the tentacles.

No they don't, you can simply start with any object like a Sphere and mold it into your desired shape. Or use zSpheres in zBrush (I think they are called that).

You can create great high res models without using a lowpoly mesh.

That's usually what I do, both zsphers or just sphere deformation. Either can produce a nice product.
Also does anyone mind putting the image tags around these for me?
