Because I have dial up and I'm too impatient...

Actually, I really like what I see. They remind me of the art from a book I read a long, long time ago (that I can't remember the title of). I haven't seen art like it again until now.

Thanks for that nostalgic moment :)

 The car looks cool, but it seems as if the front and back of the car good be better shaped.  It still looks good though, and is an early version, as you said.

I would raise the back possibly to give it a more sports like look. And maybe make the back tires bigger. That's about it though, otherwise it looks great!

spas 12 shotgun early model, still no skin, polys aren't optimized yet.  I plan to improve this a lot this week.

Title: more random art!
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on September 11, 2007, 06:29:00 pm

not too bad so far, you should add a few more details tho to it, make it like Halo 2 shotguns or fight guns :)

Title: more random art!
Post by: necro on September 11, 2007, 08:43:00 pm

I just started it tonight.  I plan to reduce the number of polys so it would be more game worthy, fix up the shape in a few areas, add the retractable stock, add an animation for firing, and finaly, skin the details that don't make sense to waste polys on.  Right now, I am also trying to make a pair of hands from scratch, and I also want to do a number of other guns, and then I'll probably start work on some original weapons.

oh, here is what the real thing looks like


I am having trouble figuring out how wide certain parts should be from my reference pictures so far, but hopefully I get some better pics soon and have this gun done.

Wow necro you are really really good at 3D. I want to get back into 3D with Blender once I get a better computer.

Title: more random art!
Post by: necro on September 12, 2007, 11:28:00 am

The one I made in blender is a 3D model for use in games/movies/etc.  The picture below are photos of the actual gun, a franci spas 12, aI found on the interweb.

Title: more random art!
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on September 12, 2007, 05:35:00 pm

is it easy to convert the 3D models into data for C programs or any othe rlanguages? Or is it just a drawing tool?

Title: more random art!
Post by: necro on September 12, 2007, 10:25:00 pm

it can convert the models into most formats, and you could probably make a python script to convert it to any other format you wanted.  it isn't a 3D engine, but the models made in it could be used in one.  Remember the pics of my old 3D game experiminet...well, lets just say I am doing some more experimenting.

DUDE o.o it looks like a real pic, nice job on this :)

though... why did this reminded me of Terrahawks suddently? O_O i guess its cuz of the black hole in the middle that reminded me a TV like at the beginning of this vid:

Title: more random art!
Post by: necro on October 25, 2007, 07:19:00 pm

Its supposed to be a screen (colored black so you could add a glass texture in there and a paintable surface underneath)  Course, some of the more complex things I wanted to do wouldn't work, so I guess I'll just have to append a texture over the model for them.


0.o ummm...what on earth was that?

Title: more random art!
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on October 25, 2007, 07:43:00 pm

well the model looks pretty real alerady, and the youtube vid was an old TV series from the early 1980s

btw any new music from you? I know you had 3 songs in the works

Title: more random art!
Post by: Halifax on October 26, 2007, 05:07:00 am

I recommend Irrlicht. The easiness is there if you want to use it, but you can also get down and dirty with it. It also includes a full API that is easy to use.

Title: more random art!
Post by: necro on October 26, 2007, 06:45:00 am

I will start using rayfray again once I get the paths set back up.  As far as this model, I wanted to have a number of screws in the marble backplate, but it is harder than it seems.  I am thinking about making a game for a contest using prerendered textures and graphics from blender using the cb engine, but I am not sure if I have enough time right now with classes as they are.

*Halifax

Title: more random art!
Post by: necro on October 26, 2007, 07:25:00 pm

These wouldn't look like this in a game engine (unless it was a pre-render).  The gun currently has 1346 faces (mostly quads) but I will reduce that eventualy as the mesh is far from optimised and I haven't textured it yet.  I have no idea if the width is right or not (can't find enough source images to get the size right or manufacturers specs).

Alos, blender is a free program I use for this, and the site has some good tutorials but the only real way  to learn it is to play with it.

Title: more random art!
Post by: Halifax on October 29, 2007, 02:41:00 pm

@necro: Yeah, Blender is good, I have been using it for about a year. The workflow is far superior to that of 3DS MAX, and right up there with Maya. Either way, MAX and Maya don't contain a UV mapper that can even match that of Blender's

And ah, that is a little too many quads for a gun. Have you ever messed around with creating detail meshes, then game meshes with UV map coords on them, and running it through a program that produces a normal map from the detail mesh, and applies it to the game mesh?

Anyways, I have another question. I will try to explain this as best as I can.

Say I have a sword, and it has a bottom handle, and a top "sword part" :P that I have not yet connected. Is there any way that I can possibly attach a vertex from the top part to a vertex on the bottom part?

I don't quite know how to do that.

Title: more random art!
Post by: necro on November 03, 2007, 05:30:00 pm

In blender, if they are two seperate meshes, just use ctrl-j to join them into a single mesh object.  If you have two parts in the same mesh, you could always use the "f" key to draw lines/faces between them or "w"->merge them into a single point.

Title: more random art!
Post by: Halifax on November 03, 2007, 05:48:00 pm

Ah, alright I never thought of that.

So ctrl-j will make one mesh snap to the other one? And not add triangles to the inside of the mesh?

Title: more random art!
Post by: necro on November 03, 2007, 08:07:00 pm

No, ctrl j will take two seperate mesh objects and make them one mesh you can edit.  You can add lines and faces between verts in edit mode using "f", if you hve a triangle or quad, it will add a face between the verts while between 2 it will just add a line.  BTW, a mesh is just a collection of vets, faces and lines.  They don't have to be connected to be called a mesh, whatever you are editing in edit mode at any given time is a single mesh object.

Title: more random art!
Post by: Halifax on November 04, 2007, 07:25:00 am

Hmm alright, yeah thanks for clearing that definition of meshes up for me.

Anyways I have to get a better computer, because as soon as I start trying to UV map my meshes(~500 triangles) it starts going as slow as molasses.

it takes like 10 min for something to happen when you press a button.

I should probably be using the other comp for 3D XD

Title: more random art!
Post by: Halifax on November 04, 2007, 02:02:00 pm

Yeah, I know what you mean. It isn't 10 minutes though for me. More like 10 seconds. I select a vertex and it takes about 10 seconds to register, and display it as yellow.

this test was straight brush on black in gimp.  Kinda sucks, but just one layer.  At least I am getting better drawing with the mouse but hopefully I am going to get a digital pad soon.

This one on the other hand was a bit more of an experiment in layer effects.  It got wuite far off from what I originaly planned to make make but I still like it. (note, this was just a 10 minute test image)

That said I don't think ppl should be offended though because they are free to practice whatever they want or not at all unlike on #tigcc channel where people must worship Kevin Kofler and #omnimaga where half of the people worship allynfolksjr :P
