my little warrior (3d max)

[ironikart]

Thought I'd post my little warrior. I'd gone through 2 ideas previously, but I'm pretty happy with this one so far. He's a low poly model for a competition. Currently at 3068 polys and still untextured. I'm hoping to have him textured by next week and then I'll re-work the saddle for his polar bear steed. It'll look a bit wierd, but it is a fantasy theme so I think I can get away with it.;)

[.soulty]

looks great, :)

fantasy character thats for sure, its looking awesome ! what kind of weapon will he be carrying? and what name have you given it?

[eyeinfinitude]

That's cool, throw on a shell and it will look like a warrior turtle. =)

[morse]

Looks bloody good. Dunno how the hell you people make stuff like this...

[andr.in]

cool!
Try making some human beings! a lil harder but I think you could manage it!

[asphaltcowboy]

[Soul]

I love him! He should be called Mungle :beam:

- Soul :s:

[s-fx]

Wow! That's one big nose! :) Goooood Work ironik art!

[thediablo]

hey! looks very cool!

remind me of the warrior of Star wars ep1 (the underwater dudes, like jar jar :P)

i like it i like it :D

[Voetsjoeba]

Wow! That's one big nose!

LOL :P Great work ironikart :) It would be so funny seeing him walk :P

[replode]

if you put a shell on him, he would look like the guys at the beginning of THe Fifth Element. which would just be cool.:beam:

[Eberth]

ironik nice mesh..for a weapon he looks like he should have a sword if that is a shield on his arm.... nice model dude..

[asphaltcowboy]

spear! spear! :)

[Soul]

Sharpened ladel!!

[asphaltcowboy]

well... if we're talking kitchen equipment... it's gotta be a colander tbh :beam:

[gpdesigner]

how bout tongs..... :)

[asphaltcowboy]

no way. the colander takes it by a mile ;)

[ironikart]

He'll have some spears/javelins in his armoury. I'm still not 100% on the shield, I think he'll end up have some protective armour like medievil lancers wear. This is the latest on the texturing, I've still got a lot of modifcations to do, but its getting there.

mungle... lol!

[eyeinfinitude]

[andr.in]

wow that's awesome! The only thing to point out is that I can ee the edge of the floor at the back! :P But the model is awesome!

[asphaltcowboy]

that's brilliant :)

Soul: haha spear wins ;)

ironikart: colander! colander! :thumb:

[SBV]

Great model but the eyes look odd...


I think he should hold a spear and a longsword.

[asphaltcowboy]

spear.. and colander as a shield.. that'd be sooo cool! :thumb:

[Soul]

I think I'm in love with Mungle :love:

- Soul :s:

[gpdesigner]

awesome texturing job... the skin look brilliant very rep-tillian... almost looks good enough to kill and eat... :) You mentioned it before but why are you keeping it low poly?

[Soul]

Bahh d*mn carnivores, see something nice and you automatically have to eat it! Can't you just d*mn look!? :P

- Soul :s:

[mdipi]

the skin was sampled from several turtle photos... the eye needs a bit more work and I have to do alot of blending.

It must be his fish look that has everyone saying they want to dress him up in kitchenware.

It's low poly for a comp - rider and steed have to come under 7000 polys and 2 1024x1024 texture maps. Maybe I'll up the poly count for more detail later, but it might be easier to just re-model it. Gonna work on a few more robot ideas after this fella is finished.

[Voetsjoeba]

Man, what you do is amazing ! Awesome job dude ! :thumb:

[mdipi]

i still dont know how you do this...

[prstudio]

Where do you work?

[liam]

that is sooo good man, i'm very impressed!

@ morse: i totally agree, i have no clue how you guys do this either...

keep it comin. :)

[ironikart]

I'm an IT support consultant, but I'm looking at getting into 3d game design. I'm applying for positions this year. Gonna need alot of luck to get in though.

[ironikart]

He's ready for his weapons now. I've pretty much finished the texturing and rigged him with a skeleton for animation and posing. Still got heaps of poly's to play with for the saddle (about 1500 - 2000) so I might make the weapons and saddle a little more extravagant. Shame to waste the polys.

[.soulty]

excellent mate, well done, looks great! Now i wait for the Short film of this dude and his faithfull horse (oh , i mean Bear, lol) :beam:

[eilsoe]

hey ironi, are you using sub-objects mat's or unwrapping the object and then applying a full skin to it?

[ironikart]

sub object materials. I've attempted unwrapping stuff before and failed... I'd mostly unwrap objects that aren't so complex.

[morse]

How about a web address and a progy used in that final pic

I can animate the warrior quite easily now he's all rigged, but the polar bear is another challenge all together. I've never rigged anything 4 legged before. Plus - no where to post a final animation!

web address? my homepage is here (http://www.hotkey.com.au/~noody/) but I haven't finished my site yet. The program is 3d studio max 4 with brazil 1.0

ironikart, ive heard that quote which is in your footer before. in fact its my fathers favorite quote. heh, its so cool....

:beam:

[prstudio]

hey iron, you've got broken images on your website bro!

[ironikart]

yah... I renamed the images without Caps. Forgot to change the links. The site sucks anyway and I don't really advertise it. I've been meaning to get in and do a proper one, but just never seem to get the chance.
