Thanks. Trying a different glass material here. Next are the sidewalks to do...

Messed up on the scale some for the curb. That's what I get though for eye-balling my objects while modeling instead of using CAD measurements from drawings.

Shrunk the scale of the sidewalk and curb. Trying some sky with the building.

That is good topology, airflamesred. I'm working on a head now that has nearly identical edge loops. I just need to find the perfect face to apply it to though (looking for a female).

Thanks Shawn

I'm gonna press on with hair and see if that brings it together. The lack of usefull, decent references is making it hard

I got bored this morning, and upon noticing all the zombie stuff available.... Where's the friggin' "Ray Gun"?

So here's about an hour and a half into it. I still have a few more details and then UV mapping & texturing.

An update to my mine elevator. Trying to fake how real it looks in this render. Rowan Tree by Martin Frost.

Some great looking models and scenes Shawn! The first one seems like an alternate timeline with the high-tech Nazi super "blimp" and Albert Speeresque monumental structures. I think the mining structure scene looks terrific as well. I'm going to have to check out FotoSketch 2.10. It seems to add a realistic aged photo type of grit to your renders.

Here's a fun pic I did after I got it done. Show's a little better how expressive the mouth morphs can be.

That's funny...

Now what I'm working on lately... An aerobatic aircraft. This isn't too bad for 5.5 hours in is it? (Tweaking verts around takes longer than it seems.) This one is actually for a client, so hopefully it pays well.

If possible, yes. Always smooths better that way.

Final product may have a tris version though, client would like to have the model in X-plane in addition to presentation renders. Thing is, I'm not sure if I can figure out Blender well enough for that. (Blender does look like it's improved since I last tried it though, anyone know if there's a Mirai interface mode plugin in addition to default and Maya?) Of course that's another topic in itself.

Soliciting votes is a no-no, and will get you disqualified from any contest.

Nice work on the piano. You modeling all the strings as well? that would really set off the top views.

Right now, I'm working on a weapons pack, most likely all chained(or flexible) weapons with Easy Pose dials.

Here's the whip sword I've been working on, just need to finish up the textures.

Well, I'm a big anime fan, and wanted to make a flexible sword like Abarai Renji's, just with my own twist.

My 1st attempt came out like the ivy sword from Soul Blazer (I didn't know til someone told me) and anyways, I liked this version better.

unbroken-fighter ( ) posted Mon, 29 August 2011 at 11:52 PM

yes i will be modeling the strings, the actions, and the tone ring as well

the keys are individual parts so that some ambitious user can rig it to use

for the sword i think that the 2nd version is killer and i can see it working for more than just animae

Anyway,I like this - well thought out. My only crit would br the tyre treads look a bit sharp. textured, you'de never notice.

Hey, so I have a question for you guys and gals that may use Poser - For a default position, do you prefer a female model to have her feet flat on the ground or raised up as if wearing heels?

Teyon ( ) posted Thu, 06 October 2011 at 1:01 PM

A quickie sculpt

Teyon ( ) posted Thu, 06 October 2011 at 1:03 PM

Oh and that Hummer/Jeep weapons on wheels model is sweet!

airflamesred ( ) posted Thu, 06 October 2011 at 2:13 PM

Flat I would gues Teyon. I don't use poser but heels increase the size of the calf muscles and the spine curvature. I do prefer the A pose to the T though.
