almost done with the armor- till now all modeled in 3dsmax and no textures/displacement used.
(all renderings in default scanline renderer - no magic)

front and back,- I added some details around his armor so it looks more interesting

some meshes still look smooth on close up

back

[goliard]

Very impressive.

great job render

I don't know much about 3d stuff but it looks to me like the armature is a bit flat I mean the chest and the buttocks should be a little more prominent perhaps you should post a profile view of the armature

VERY VERY Nicely done Render!

It looks pretty damn accurate to me in terms of proportions. I don't want to know how long that little lot took you.

Which method did you use? Splines or Nurbs?

That's a really nice job on the armor. Good job on the details with the buckles & straps.

Are you planning on putting textures on it? If so, be sure to let us see it!

Very nice!

thx for comments

I changed it slightly,- better now?

Very nice!

thx,- yes acutally I already started with unwrapping and textures yesterday
he´s my current experiment:

I used a special UV unwraper tool wich makes it very unwrapping complex models, the UV map and current difuse texture:

It looks pretty damn accurate to me in terms of proportions. I don't want to know how long that little lot took you.
Which method did you use? Splines or Nurbs?

2 evenings (I placed a Biped under it,- so it wasn´t that hard getting the right prorpotions) , no splines no NURBS,- I used subdevision modeling so basicly quad- polygons wich are later subdevided to get rounded shapes. The reason however for it beeing so popular is that when you add many edges/poygons to each other the dubdivision result get more edgy- and when using less edges in the base mesh it gets more rounded and smooth. A very powerfull method - gives the easiness of polygon modeling with the visual quality of Nurbs models.
Here is a screenshot series that shows the base mesh and 3 levels of subdevision:

though usually it´s enough even for production using just 2 subdevisions,- using to much can break down the performance dramaticly.

progressed on the textures:


some progress pics of the texture

I now like the average color sheme of it,- not to colorfull yet interesting. Some details are still missing but I think this one is progressing well

[renderhjs]

almost done

[dewman]

Wow-- that is amazing. I love it. What unwrapper tool do you use?

Really wonderful work!

[Natsia]

...
I hate you render.


Um, I havent physically painted anything in a few years... Started laying down some brush strokes on a whim and ended up with this.

Water colour and pencil.

[Natsia]

Adobe Photoshop, 35 layers, 2 masks, no stock.
Make of it what you will.

[Magnetos_II]

great stuff natsia
although i must say i like more the first one
35 layers? waoo that's a lot of layers

[sarah.]

Hi....i am a new in this forums so i did not watch all your works but from what i saw i must said e-tahn ..magnetos..renderhjs are amazing
i like all your works sooooo much
magnetos.. i have a question for you please ...some of your work ..i realy could not know how you made it ...is it just painting or you use some programmes to do that ...sorry i am a beginner in this field ..i try to learn ..thank you in advance

[renderhjs]

I prefer the first one too- it has more texture. That 2nd one looks kind of a sick person puking her organs out (hopefully you are not yourself reflecting in that picture).

I basicly just posted it in my tank-move thread (game title) - but since here are more people focused on just art - I´d thought about posting it here as well (there are also renderings of tanks with nice textures- check the thread for those)
those are character illustrations of the 4 players of my game:

at least how it´s propably going to look like in the current game (game sprites are painted as well)

here the orginal size of them:

oh and btw. 7 layers. At least with painting stuff I tend to merge alot of layers seems to be the best workflow for me when painting- otherwise I have lots of layers.

[Magnetos_II]

render that looks good and so it's the game although not my favorite genre
you know i prefet the old supernintendo zelda style

sarah first of all welcome to FK

the only thing i use is photoshop 7 and a pen tablet
i used to sketch on paper before and then scan it and then bring it to photoshop , but since i got my pen tablet i do everything in PS
look forward to see some of your work
ciao
