Hey guys... decided to take a break from characters... working on a gun with Shadowbox...it is pretty damn cool once you get used to it... would love some feedback on this...

[HaloAnimator]

Hey guys, been working on this gun...calling it "Christina", after watching Full Metal Jacket (you know where the guys named their guns) getting use to Shadowbox... and I must say... I love this tool... makes modeling guns and other items painless... I also called it the Eagle Desert just to avoid any legal issues when I put it in my game... I would love some feedback on this model... still need to add the hammer and build the in-game version...

There are some really nice hardSurf in this (BTW- I want a 50calAE personally, so I love this gun), but as for a crit, I would say there are a few lines in the receiver/bolt area that are a bit warped on a few edges.
You might try and retopo the receiver cover and re-cut the shape in dynamesh. (or just reshape a bit with clip curve to line up and edge it off a bit.)

Edit- Geert Melis (http://www.geertmelis.com/) has an awesome clipcurve/shadow box vid on handgun creation, and I am sure you are looking at the Magnum Research site (http://www.magnumresearch.com/Firear...0-AE-Black.asp)

I was looking at that site all last night... at this point I am ready to retopo the gun and detail it... doing hard edges is a new challenge but I really enjoy it...

Hey everybody... just passing thru with some fun stuff... decided to bruise up my model a bit. Still alot to be worked on, especially adding bruises and cuts to the face in the texture. And this also allows me to make blendshapes (sans a cool plugin). Anyway, here
are some captures of the model. I had to use a ton of reference from MMA to Boxers for some good injuries and get the right amount of bruising... just some NASTY stuff... Still more to come.

Hey guys, decided to take a break from my game modelling and focus on my continuous learning of human anatomy. Today, I wanted to do a speed sculpt of a basic human (both male and female) to practise flow and gesture. Right now, I am not happy with
the legs atm, still ironing out some flow issues... would love feedback, jabs, suggestions. Thanks. Modeling time 1hr

[HaloAnimator]

Hey guys, decided to model a female... just basic forms for now to use as a base model for all of my characters. I am still tweaking proportions and softening up the overall forms on the model. This still needs some work and any feedback on this would be awesome.

Thanks.

Hello Everyone,

Decided to shake off some of this dust and model a new character for my portfolio... after watching gargoyles over the weekend (One of my favourite cartoons growing up in the 90's) I decided to create a gargoyle character for fun, practise, and new
techniques for modeling... Here are some shots of the character in progress, since I started it over the weekend, just carefully planning it out. I am planning on animating the wings so I will need to pay attention to that and also fix any issues with anatomy and a detail pass. I will start on her face once I get the body sorted and plan for her to be rendered in Unity. C&C welcome. Enjoy.

Hey guys, started working on the head of my creature... i love 3d.sk. I am still tuning the head shape and ears of this model...and giving her some interesting features
and I have to attach the head back on the body for retopology... any feedback would be awesome...

[HaloAnimator]

Hey guys,

Took a little break off my model since I've had no real feedback... I have a question in regards to setting up wings on a humanoid (creating a gargoyle). How would I properly set up the skeletal structure of the wings so it can properly be attached to the shoulder blade.
here is a picture of what I am trying to do. Sorry for the low quality. I was trying to do dragon wings, and the skeleton of a bat came to mind. I would love your thoughts on this... thanks.

Hey everybody, just started putting together a new model for my portfolio, and decided to try my hand at creating a nanosuit for my character... this was quite arduous and I must say I am having fun
learning how to use the new tools and developing new techniques. So here is the character model that I am putting together. There is still plenty of work to do such cleaning up some of the plates and adding
more pieces to the model... and also details and assembly into a game model to be rendered in Unity. Would love your feedback of course. Thanks.

Question, anyone know how to add hole in meshes?

[HaloAnimator]

Hey guys... just posting some more progress on my nanosuit for my game character... decided to go for a more layered approach to the armour details... the focus will be to get this one into Unity... here are some screenshots of the current progress...
At this stage, I am adding more armour plates and small details... more to come...

[HaloAnimator]

Good morning from Boston... Just ready to wrap up this character with a final render from Unity... took a while to get the detail I wanted for this character, but I am ready to call it done, and move on to the next. If you want more shots of him feel free to ask.
