Siege Tank High Poly Rough

2011-05-22T20:45:00.000-05:00

A larger update from the last couple. The model is getting near the end, but there are a few things I want to tweak or redo.

Siege Tank Update

2011-05-11T08:37:00.000-05:00

Just a small update.

Siege Tank Rough

2011-05-03T00:08:00.001-05:00

I started some work on a Siege Tank from Star Craft. Right now it's rather rough, but I'm working on it. I think I have the general proportions close to how I want them. The cannon barrel might have a bit too much detail for the current stage of this model, I was drawn into it tonight over other sections.

Viper

2010-07-09T14:08:00.000-05:00

I got tired of seeing my Colonial Viper sitting as a work in progress. I'm calling it. I'll let it live or die from here on. I might revisit it, but for now I need to move onto something new. As for what to move onto I'm stuck between a few ideas. I can model an automobile, or a tank, or go back and do some more sketch work on my levels that I've started long before I should have.

Here are a couple types of renders. One is a very basic gray the other I added some color to the material. I can never get the renders to come out exactly how I want them to, I need to get some research done with that.

Singularity/Raven Assets

2010-07-01T12:05:00.000-05:00

With the release of Singularity a couple days ago (6/29/2010) I am able to display some of the work I did. Most of my work for Singularity was behind the scenes, so I can't display most of it. Frequently I was repurposing preexisting assets for other uses. Such as adding damage, adding control panels, or changing collision to be used within the multiplayer game mode . Near the end of Singularity's cycle I was also poly reducing assets to help increase game play value. Below are a few of the assets that I created for Singularity.

Sci_Fi

2010-05-17T09:08:00.000-05:00

A bit of a sci-fi level started. Not sure how/where I will take this one. Most of the hall is set, just needs to be painted if I don't end up changing my mind on how it looks architecturally speaking. Also the lighting on everything needs another pass. There's a few issue's I've noticed while taking these screenshots. The room is pretty much all proxy at this stage. I threw on some of my base/repeatable textures to get a feel for things right now. I'm not sure if I want to keep the room clean or destroy it some how.

Additional Painting

2010-05-17T08:42:00.000-05:00

A little more painting on the hammerburst. I've been a bit distracted lately to really get any of my personal work done. There has been some jumping around on what I'm actually working on. I've started a bit of a sci-fi level within unreal, continued work on my viper, as well as working for Raven Software.

HammerBurst Paint

2010-04-06T15:39:00.000-05:00

I took a break from the Colonial Viper and went back to paint my hammerburst.

Colonial Viper WIP

2010-01-06T18:11:00.000-06:00

I've added the wings, and worked up the body. Now I'm moving into the cock-pit and landing gear.

Viper Engines

2010-01-02T21:27:00.001-06:00

I've got the engines almost how I want them. I'm not completely satisfied with the exposed sections towards the front, but they'll do for tonight. I've been going off of the classic Mark 2 Viper and a few cues from the modern version as well. I haven't yet decided which wing set to go with, for now I have the classic ones proxied out.

2009-12-29T16:44:00.000-06:00

A few crashes and corrupted files later and here I have my Colonial Viper Mark 2 Proxy.

Hammerburst 2 Low Poly

Here is my low poly of my Hammerburst 2. This image is taken from within the Unreal 3 Engine. Concept copyright Epic Games.

Hammerburst

2009-12-05T18:33:00.000-06:00

Here is my version of the Hammerburst 2 from Gears of War. (Concept copyright Epic Games)

Small Update

2009-11-24T23:23:00.000-06:00

I've been moving rather slow on this particular piece. There's too many distraction around me right now. I reworked a few plates so they're actual plates instead of being carved in. I also added some of the finer noodley details. I might end up adding more of that, but I'm not sure how much I want to add before it looks like fluff for the sake of fluff. I have a low poly strap set added to the back and handle. I want to mess with it a little bit before I solidify that particular detail. Right now it looks exactly what it is, thrown on.

Hammerburst First Pass

2009-11-09T17:11:00.000-06:00

I've got my first high pass done so far. I think I'll end up redoing a few sections. I'll do another pass then move on into the smaller details such as nuts/blots.

HammerBurst

2009-11-04T02:32:00.000-06:00

I'm working on the Gears of War HammerBurst. I've roughed in the basic idea so far. There's lots to be done, but here's a start.

High Poly Pillar

2009-10-21T01:57:00.000-05:00

So this was my first project using Z-Brush. I'm still a lush for Z-Brush, but I think I have the basic idea of how to use the program. I haven't found stencils yet. My idea, on this mesh, was do do all of the fine detail within photoshop.

2009-10-19T02:01:00.000-05:00

It has come to my attention that I have not updated in a while. I have replaced all engine materials with my own. I still have a long ways to go, but it's starting to move along. Textures/colors will probably change as I progress to have them match better. For now they're working to a certain extent. I'm semi-new to foliage in general. My past experience has been editing pre-existing trees etc. but I believe I'm catching what needs to be done.

Solidifying

2009-09-18T22:53:00.001-05:00

I think I've got things set about how I want them now. Very soon I will be starting in actually creating the assets. The more I got into it the more I thought about locations for the camera for the images below. The only proxies that I haven't created yet are trees. But I figure I'll create them as I go and see how much of a variety I want.

Again, I will note that all visible textures are being borrowed from the Unreal Engine.

New Environment

2009-09-14T22:56:00.000-05:00

So far I haven't left the proxy/concept stage of things. Everything is subject to change. :p I'm open to constructive suggestions and comments.

All textures within the following images are being borrowed from the Unreal Engine. In the final piece I will have created all visible textures.

First out of the gate

2009-09-11T21:33:00.001-05:00

Lets get this site started. :)
