Hi,

Your Low poly Model looks Gr8.....

[Dhyego]

The low poly is looking great!Keep with the good work!
I would love to finish my marine with other software but this is not possible to me due some problems with symmetry with the "add edge" and "add point".

I've learned the basics of the Softimage XSI to do this kind of modelling, but i don't know how to activate the symmetry to the "add edge" and "add point".
Somebody knows how to activate it? Some good plugin or Script? Or some trick to use this kind of symmetry with Maya or Max.

[Dhyego]

Btw

Can you show the concept that you made in Zbrush? I would love to see!

I am not familiar with XSI, but in both Max and Maya there are symmetry modes. In Max, you can use the symmetry modifier. Or cut your model in half down the middle, and duplicate it as an instance and mirror. An instance will apply changes to both sides. Maya has a couple ways to do symmetry also. I am not very familiar with it but I think instancing should work here as well, and I believe there are a few other ways to achieve it. Hope that helps a bit.

[joe55]

thanks smeagol!
finished low poly its 15k tri, one 2048 map for body 1 1024 for head.

[SadamHu]

I'm glad you removed the pistons at the back. They didn't look functional anyway. That's a lot of detail you've got there in your 15k polys

[SadamHu]

Wow that was a cool animation. There was no sound, but I could imagine the mechanical sounds that would be there. Tell your animator that it looks choice.
