Would love to see some wireframes

fantastic trailer and a great character, really well executed…wireframes?..aww go on then

@markkens: the thing that you have to remember with Space Marines is that you are making armour that looks like a superhuman, not a superhuman in armour.
There are anatomical quirks all over them as they were originally designed to be a 30mm figure, true scale doesn’t really look all that good at that size so some things are tweaked and altered.

Dont even think about terminator armour

Seth. Guess I was thinking Astartes, who are Hulk-size humans…

Amazing texture work. I love the spec, nice mix of dusty metal and scratched shinny parts. Really sells the material well.

Freakin’ sick!!! I just finished Flight Of the Eisenstein and your animatic really helped me visualize the Dreadnought.

Where do a guy's arms and legs fit inside the battle armor? The armor joints and the wearer's joints seem to have a conflict--even given that the wearer is totally encased in some kind of actuator sensor layer... Or should I just say screw the logic and have fun?

Yea, space marines are a bit freakish in regard to normal human proportion. Always have been. The lore goes that they are genetically bread or created (don’t remember which) and then to top it off they play with their genes which changes their physique. It’s also not entirely known just how much of the suit they really occupy, or what kind of physic alterations they undergo to fit in the suits.

BS aside, really the proportional anomalies come from the miniatures and some of the concept art.
When you apply the miniatures proportions:

To real world humans, you lose the ability to walk, the heroic wide stance, broad chest and ape like arms:

I think this model and to a great degree the texture, really help marry the two worlds together.

Finally got a chance to render out a wireframe of the Sergeant for you guys

[tommy3d]

Very nice work!!

[Tyrone_M]

ryu moto - Thank you very much

nerveink - Excellent sketchbook thread!

ZedHead - Your Sith lord is shaping up, thanks bud

Ichiban - The characters in your sketchbook are very cool!

pummumu - Thanks so much! You are amazing btw

EnderStaley - Cheers mate, i’m glad you liked it !

rayfusion - Thanks buddy, awesome dino work btw

Pluie. - More chars are coming soon

fabianloing - I’m really glad you like the armours! Excellent character work you are doing

Pilotcap - your Kickboxing master is shaping up nicely

Mind Symbion - Thank you very much

markkens - I’m glad the cinematic helped you visualise the dreadnought, i will post some renders up of him soon. As for the armours, a extremely muscular male should be able to fit inside the armour suit, thats the overall feel. The Games Workshop miniatures Sergeants, Captains and Comanders have much more of a stylised feel with larger heads disproportionate to their bodies. I wanted to make sure his head did not feel too large or too small, i hope i achieved that

= BlackNull = - Thank you!! I think your Wolverine is really amazing Looking forward to your next work

Alexander Tolstopyatov - Cheers! your Doomsday w.i.p is coming along nicely

JakeLV426 - “Amazing…you guys are setting the bar with this kind of quality. :D:D:D”

Thank you so much!! That really pushes me harder to hear such nice comments like that Your 10 weeks , 5 characters thread is cool

• FoOD - - Thank you! For the head i wanted to make sure his helmet would fit over his head without looking cartoonishly large. Your Gra 'Nox (Villain) is looking killer!

3mm - Thanks! your sketchbook is very cool

LittleClaude - “Would love to see some wireframes” I finally got to render him out wireframe, sorry for the delay Cool dragon Thread

Funny thing is we have made a Terminator Space Marine Thank you for the kind words

Vig - Im very glad you like the armour!! Spent time in Z Brush and Photoshop getting the balance of armour wear and damage to look how i envisioned it. Thanks buddy!

tommy3d - Thank you so much

Again thanks everyone for your kind words, even tho i am new here it really makes me proud to be involved in this great community group hug :o

[Zenneth]

They always go for the banshee over the scorpion, just because they have the power sword… when will I ever see the mandiblaster in action?

[abe_Tamazir]

awesomw work man! i wish i could texture this well

[jammer_unknown]

Beautiful texturing bro! I’m trying to focus on texturing too. May I ask the resolution you used for that, and if you used just one or multiple maps?

P:S
Love the game!
