Polygon, Chamfer, Done.

Barrel of Laughs ( Shouts )

Well I know you have all been waiting in anticipation for this but your wait is now over. I modelled this last week but I have now conquered the feat of learning normal and specular maps in Maya. Hope you like it.



All I have to do now is download that plug-in that Adam posted somewhere on Mike and Guys blog and export it ready for the UT3 editor. Whoooooooooooooo.

just some fencing

modular pieces as requested by Adam arent Alpha maps handy :)

anyone that far to the right is hiding a deep, dark secret.

just about putting the finishing touches on the forklift now ;)
what do you think folks? :)


B.

wats on the box !

here a real retro tele that ive dun !

there's some things you never see....

...a cross-eyed nun with a bull-whip and a bottle of gin...

Hey folks.
some reason I was really in the mood for texturing stuff today so i've had a bit of a late night working on the forklift that Ashley sent me a part of. it's not finished yet obviously but i'm calling it a day for now.
suggestions?





B.

adding some background detail

Just started to add some stuff in the background trees, plants, ect... will make things a bit more detailed as time goes by for now its just place holder while i play with terrain

1st pass lighting

So nearly done texturing the terrain and I've done a 1st pass on the lighting, I still need to add some fill lights and think about how to add some dynamic lightsto make things more interesting. We can't use lightbulbs as its a derilict farm therefore no electricity, if we have it set out as if a battle has taken place then i guess a few fires could be burning and giving off light but we need to discuss this.

redo and redo again at some point it'll look right

Ok so spent most of today re doing the texture for the deisel tank, taking away alot of the dirt i had put on it and making a slight more subtle plus the new normal map seems to be working a hell of a lot better.

research on houses give me feedback

Ok guys let me know which houses you like the look of or grab me some images of houses you like. this is for the main building in the center of the farm.its gonna be delapidated in the map this is just to get a basic idea of what it would of looked like.

old_barn

just thought id put this up see if u guys like or not , not quite finished yet but its getting there



here a few renders on the inside

STOVE YER 'ED IN LAAAAAAA!

just putting the finishing touches on the stove texture. normal and specular to come :)
do think i'm getting the hang of this texturing lark ;)


B.

Today i are mostly been sucking deisel

built the deisel tank to go out the back of the house, not done collision yet that for later

PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN

Began texturing the stove. not done yet but it's working :D

B.

i'm running out of titles.

Started work on the stove I was supposed to build but got carried away with other items.
here we are! nothing too fancy but I think it's looking good so far.
using this sort of bad boy for reference:

THE GATEKEEPER

this is the farmyard gate. I will be building cattle grids for near by also :)

B.

Ploughed

latest asset from me, just began on the texture. we're gonna have a couple or so of these in the farm area.


B.

Making assets with Maya lids

Learning Maya so I'm trying to build a few small assets to help you guys out. Here they be.



I'm just working from the asset list provided by mr Adam. If you guys want anything specific then just let me know.

Forklift

well, got the forklift out of the moth balls bout god damm time too, took me all day to find a damm converter for the ASE format, witch if anyone needs just ask ill bring it in towmorrow, anyway Forklift done but not detailed or textured (Y)

Combine Harvester

iam haveing trouble finding blue prints for a harvester, so if anyone can give me a hand and help me find some that would be cool ty, also left the tractor in college so ill pull out the old forklift model and detail it a bit more.

Ash

I Made A Barrel!

Well I know that this is not normally something to shout about, but I MADE A BARREL. Oh yes guys, using Maya and only a little shouting I have create a barrel. Has anyone seen the episode of Blackadder where Percy makes 'Green', not a great achievement but he was as proud as punch, like myself. Anyway here is a render, just so you can join in with my excitement.



Now all I need to do is work out how to texture it.

Rufus Detailing

Don't want to stick with one idea so i hope lot can expect a few more of these. I think i hit rock bottom with one though, the second apeals to me as the badass guy who looks like a complete phsyco. I took Dean's advice of making him large. I want him to be very tall, lanky guy with a really big build. But yes i had to go for the sicko face, he just loves killing for the fun guys! But i went for the glasses like kev said. Those small ones that give that old scientist look.

I thought of his clothing too, mix and match, military pants for the win with military belts across his chest holding some sort of tank on his back (maybe steam emitters or what not, you know the deal, make him look kick ass) it was to power his claw that idea!

Anyway hope you like these so far, just doodles took me about a hour odd to sketch these down out my head off the thumbnails i drew. I'll do a few more for you lot and show you in class.

few bits started

Hey people,

done a bit today nothing spectacular but started on the terrain for the map and built a destroyed brick wall, still need to build the debris for the floor.

shall catch you all in the morrow

Rufus Thumbnails

Well i'll add some of these up now because i'd like our group to just pick what they like best so far. Don't worry it's not just these ideas i'm trying to really get a good range of characters and clothing you know what i mean anyway. Well i'm planning to do another 2-3 sheets so i'll post them up tomorow when i have completed them. I think i deserve a small break for this haha.

Hope you guys like, so far i'm inclined to like the third guy in the napolean sort of jacket with the musket and claw robotic arm.

reference images

Jake 2 has uploaded some really good pics he got on his photo day with swiss and mike so if you want to take a look head on over to the album on photobucket the link is..... here

Asset list

Ok so for everybody heres an asset list broken down into areas, now i know that some of this stuff has already been modelled by ste chris and bob, but grab the list and see whats there if you know somebody has completed an asset dont work on it if theres some you would like to build let us know and build away just so we dont get 5 people building a combine harvester.
