Working on a project. Coming up with some ideas.

What have I been up to?

Level building for a fun project. *wink*

Update WIP: Flame, Inspired Concept from Piranha Games (MWO)

WIP:Flamer
Concept From: Piranha Games (Mech Warrior Online)

More high poly work on the Flamer. Added some more geometry and rounded off edges. Added some more detail work, the larger to medium details. Still some more work to do, but its coming along.

More hard surface modeling. Blocking in big parts, still have some of the smaller parts to block in and then comes the high poly.

Texturing is something I struggle with, but doesn't keep me out.

Fixing the turret

Looks better with the fixes.

- The legs were readjusted so the screw heads looked better no odd lit areas.
- Fixed the normals to correct odd darkened areas of the model.
- Thickened areas around the legs, to make them less flimsy, and beveled some areas to catch the light more.

Update...

Just an update...nothing special. Between work and real life, I have been able to get some more things blocked out.

Moving along finally.

Fixed some of the issues I had with the legs. I wanted to get those first before moving onto the the other items. Consulted with some friends and will be revisiting the legs once more to deal with some lighting issues, probably dealing with the normal maps.

Just the high poly nothing special

Just a high poly render nothing special. Just what I am using to make normals and crap.

Making things work

After much trial and error I am on the go to make things happen.

WIP: Higher Poly Turret

Higher Poly Turret, not yet done but it's getting there.

Software:
Maya 2013

Unwrapped and UV Layout

Unwrapped and UV Layout. Time to get that high poly going *smile*.

MOVE IT!!!

Software:
Maya 2013

Nope no Headus UVLayout yet. A little unaffordable for me at the moment.

Unwrapped Turret

Unwrapped. Now, need to create proper layouts and start the high poly and baking. Texturing incoming soon!

Software:
Maya 2013

During this time I found that I need to possibly invest in Headus UVLayout to speed up my unwrapping process. Thanks for viewing my blog!

PEACE!

WIP: Turret continued...

Continued efforts to make an outstanding turret. Finding the time to work on modeling and texturing while commuting from Steilacoom to Redmond everyday to my full time job at Microsoft. After hours parties? You're looking at it.

The above is after getting feedback from fellow friends. Staying in the loop of things. Thanks Neil and Gerritt!

Made some a slight change to the legs per Neil and we are on our way to unwrapping the low poly turret. Once that's done the fun begins MUAHAHAHAHAHA*cough*ha ha *smiles*.
