heyho! Very Happy

(Note: thers also a thread in the PK-forum - I'll show it here also coz of lost's wish)
I want to create a new playermodel for Nexuiz, and to post here the progress of the model.....

What I do, and how long does it take?
- I create a highdetailed model....
- ..and build a version with lower poly-count out of this...
- ...and painting the textures. ( Sleep !)
- Then I have to animate it..
- and jamming it in our holy father: the darkplaces-engine.
Thats much work,so it will take some months...

Heres the actual stand:
(And yes, I t becomes somrthing like a droid;) )
Yet another droid. V410
Just to let you know: Thats the Highpoly - means: not the one you see then ingame - its too detailed.
Critic is very welcome - you dont have to say "nice" all the time Razz

Thanks for posting here, it adds a bit of creative spice. Wink

I think it's coming along nicely. Smile

The only criticism I can think of is the missing pelvis... I guess you're aware of that. Wink

If you're aiming for a droid clone, maybe look at the scale of the limbs.

Keep up the great work! Wink

*HOORRRAY!*
Thats the first time that somebody says something different than "nice" Very Happy Thx!
And yes the Pelvis is missing. But hes already modeled and was just in vacation when I made this render Razz
Proportions also doesnt match yet....Thats the difficult part...

nice Wink

But....if u want some critism, then i have to say that the feets doesn't look good.
I don't really know why and maybe its just because of the actual viewing point, but i think they are to small(or even the form?) and he can't stand on them.

It looks like Star Wars so the look it nearly final anyway and i think that's why everyone says nice Wink

heyho!

I think the HighPoly is finished... (Please say everything you dont like t'ill now! )
Still ToDo (in chronological order):

  • Building the Low-Poly - means taking the current HighPoly as somekind of a 3D-sketch and reducing more and more details till the polycount goes down to 3000 or something. (its at 316933 at the moment Razz ) takes hopefully only some days...
  • Baking Textures - We take again the HifgPoly and "baking" now the Normalmaps -> The Details are still there, but are "saved" now in a texture and are usable for the LowPoly.
  • Painting: - I just take GIMP and try to get some nice textures..(hopefully) - takes looooong.
  • Animating - Oh... Im bad in animations Smile - takes even looooooonger.
  • Jamming it into the engine - Importing it in Nexuiz and doing a package for the server. - Im a idiot, so it takes probaly also looong xD
  • THE END Wink - takes !loooong

Doesnt matter if you didnt understood that Very Happy

Heres the update of today:
(ahmm I just noticed that one finger is somewhere else as its supposed to be..ignore it Very Happy)
Yet another droid. V711
Refernce:
Yet another droid. Kampfdoiden
Anybody wants to play with it in 3D?

P.S: Forget the feets they are really looking like that.. :/

Looking very good m8. Wink

Scale is better, slightly longer thighs & chunkier fingers would fine tune it tho. Other than that, just centring the knee & ankle joints should do the trick. Wink

Even after the above nitpicking, I didn't notice the thumb - shows what I know. Rolling Eyes

A play in 3D? Sure! I have no experience, but I wouldn't mind seeing what this Blender thing does. Wink

I think the middlepiece which combines the upper part with the legs should be thicker.
(Der Steg der aus dem Torso kommt)
And the Pelvis where the legs start maybe a bit wider.
That would give a more solid look like the one on the pictures...

And also at the legs, the thighs are shorter than the the lower. That's uncommon and I think normally they are at least equal

yeah, lower it's knees a bit. oh and it is not nice at all Laughing Razz
wonder how it's gonna be animated Smile dunnow hy but reminds me a bit model "junga" from q3a, was moving like a spider with 4 limbs Smile well there were models much more droid-looking, but I thought about this one.
keep up the good work m8 Smile

For the play in 3D: (I love this rhyme Wink )

  • Download blender and install it.
  • Download my file and save it.
  • Start Blender -> You'll get the Standard Startscreen: a cube.
  • Press F1 -> A OpenFile Window apperars -> navigate to the place where you saved my .blend and select it with RMB. -> Click the OpenFile in the right upper corner.
  • You'll see the droid -> Press SHIFT + F to fly around a bit..Find a good perspective and press F12 and after some minutes (er...warning: I have a quadcore and a SSE3 optimized blenderbuild - it will render perhaps more then the 1minute here Razz ) you'll get a fine image like I post them here. Feel free to play around a bit.


And thx for the critic - I changed it.

Took me long to get a proper picture...and still it dont have a head and i miss some part of the legs What a Face
With settings on 25% it still renders around 3 minutes on a Core Duo E6600(2,4Ghz)
Well...it looks nice already, specialy from the side i like it

hahaha,
I had to laugh when I saw this pic... Razz
You can solve the "I dont see the head"-problem very easy : You see in your camera two pointed lines:
Yet another droid. Blubb10
The second line ("2"!) says you what you'll see in the render then Smile
Means the head and the legs just were not in the Camera view Smile

EDIT: Very cool picture! bounce

Blender has a steep learning curve, in an hour all I managed to do is mess up your model. Razz

It took 1min, 26sec to render - pretty impressive how it kicked all cores up to 100% - not many app's do that.

Anyhoo, I made a quick wallpaper with the render. Wink
