Yeah, the eyes are driving me up the wall haha. Every time I think I've sunk the sockets back far enough, for whatever reason it's never enough. I guess once I crack that he can stop looking like an alien :P

FTFFFY ;P

I've undertaken some Extra Vehicular Activity recently. I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I might would.





I think over all it is too round.....

Can somebody help me understand the role that the tongue piece has to play?

None that I can think of. It wasn't there in Halo 3, and I always thought Reach's would've looked better without it.

perhaps a sort of latch?

When you can rip and take credit?

Because we learn through imitation, or are you the only exception?

I never claimed to have created this completely from scratch but seeing as I have had to drop this due to external requests I hall recite my intention for this ex-project.


- Make it sub d and cool.

To help you take your helmet off in zero-g environments, i.e a space station.

So a sort of latch piece then?

Looks like Laszlo Sorvad wasn't the only guy that made a latchkey discovery






I'll just see myself out

looking good. Your the one made testrun?

use shift to smooth the eyes and retopology the model (made a hd and game model) then uvwrap the low poly one and render to texture with the hd model

CE3 2016 disco light confirmed.

Remember guys and girls, no quoting pyramids.

There are not girls on halomaps just weeabo's.

Freaking google autocorrect.

Your flattery bemuses me.

We have nothing in common so please keep away from me lest you truly wish to mend your toxic ways.

Started on a Tron/Destiny themed armor set. Got some of the helmet fleshed out, critique appreciated:

Titan sets? In game?

Please post your wires I really wish I could make something like this!

Just FYI I'm about to re-do the visor but here you go

Man that topo excites me.

Do you have any tips or pointers you could give a start up 3d enthusiast?

Im actually surprised this stuff hasn't been featured in 3dworld or something.

Edited by Super Flanker on Jan 30, 2016 at 04:57 PM

Hah, thanks. It's really not that impressive, nor is it my main 3D artform. Just try your best to keep everything quads. A triangle here and there is fine, but try to avoid them if you're making a high-poly mesh.

If you're doing a mash-up like this, grab any and all references. Even if they don't exactly represent what you're going for, you can pull design elements from them and make your model better overall. For example, this is a fusion of Tron : Legacy's "Rinzler" and Destiny's Titan.

you should try to go for spline and patch modeling for the visor or very curvy shapes, it looks very good and is easy to manipulate once you get the hang of it

Mudbox would be a worthy alternative.

I prefer the technical control as in 3DSmax for large shapes. To me zbrush or mudbox are mostly texturing and refining tools

use both...

Zbrush and mudbox are much more forgiving with regards to curved organics. They are also much more stable when relaying extreme viewport information which is sorta what you want when you are developing obscenely high detailed meshes.

But to each their own.

Say if I wanted a character to blink while idle; Would it need to be entirely in 3D or could I relegate facial features to 2D texture sequences?
