BiGHARYSCOTSMiN's 3D modeling quest

[Serin]

Derp, didn't realise you were still working on them
Whichever man.
Danke!

Scattershot it is then.

Thanks for the support guys. It's quite fun making 3D models... I can keep doing this.

Btw- If you will have some time could you make the XV-27 Shifting forearms ?

I second that. I need some for my build. I attempted at scratch building them but they turned out wag too big, so looks like we need a file.

+2 on XV-27 Shifting

Thanks *__* Now I can´t wait to start working on them xD

Put some more stuff on the Soldier Torso.

When is your scout helmet model going to be done?

When is your scout helmet model going to be done?

Do you want it to be?

I'm asking because there are currently 3 different versions of the Scout helmet, one from Brokenvisr, one from Zercon, and another (whose name I cannot recall)

Here is one for you if you want it immediately, but I can still work on it if you like.

UPDATE!!!

EXTREMELY CLOSE TO COMPLETION!!!@JRI@JFJFOJ

OMG Can't wait.

 

[lunar lord]

omg cant wait that is my favorite torso !!!

way to many triangles...

way to many triangles...

Care to take a pop yourself then, expert?

 

[colbs]

would but i do not care for it but sisne i have modeled for years there are far to many triangles int he model and they do not transfer well to pep makes things more complicated then they have to be.

Have you SEEN the triangles in the game rip files?

Even those Halo Reach models (which look quite simple imo) have a lot of them if you count

If you don't want to get a seizure staring at those triangles, you can go elsewhere ...but no seriously there aren't that many triangles

 

[colbs]

Yea I have seen them but thats why you remodel the model in to brtter topology there are a few spots that would need to keep triangles but 90% of that could be transfered to quads and still keep its shape looks cleaner in the pep veiwer easyer to fallow and to unfold the model is only triangles beacuse that is what the game engine reads dont have a modwl editor download blender or sketchup both which are free

...wait are you sure you're an "experienced" modeler? No offense, but it doesn't seem like it... because 3d models are made of triangles and only triangles. A square face is made of two triangles, and a sphere is made of a *yoink* load of triangles.

OBSERVE



After (Left) :Ahh... looks good
Before (Right) :OMG WTF SO MANY TRIANGLES

I just hit "soften/smooth faces" on the map and the program just simplifies those gawd awfuauaul triangles.

And if you're worried about Pep cleanups... I guess you have a point, but this particular file isn't that bad (soldier torso) since it's a simple little model... it's like unfolding a square, as opposed to... say the Warrior torso I tried unfolding one day.

---

By the way, update for everyone who is waiting for the Soldier Torso... I'm cleaning up the file, because apparently Pep-des3 doesn't like grey and blue faces. They all have to face outwards (show white) and as you saw in previous pictures, that hasn't happened.

I looked for a quick fix tool and methods, but I couldn't find one... that worked for me at least.

It should be done in two or so days. I'll come back and stitch some up after I get out of the shower.

LATER!

No they are not just made out of triangles I use 3dsmax so yes im an experianced modeller triangles are mainly used for game models as ive said but if you want a clean model use quads

Unless you are modelling specifically with quad's, or forbid - n-gons. You can have a square without having it made of triangles.
Tri's are good for game models, when yes, you need to preserve a low poly-count. However, quad's smooth better, and subdivide much cleaner than tri's - especially in large sections of mesh.
Yes, you can make spheres and things out of tri's, but it doubles the poly-count than if you were using quads.

Quad's:

Tri's:

@colbs
Please use some semblance of legible spelling/grammar/punctuation in future posts. It would make it much easier for the rest of us to understand what you're trying to say.

 

[BiGHARYSCOTSMiN]

quad's

oh POOP.

I guess I missed that part when I was reading the post.

Blender also uses quads I realize NOW. Fail on my part. I gotta go hit myself with a large stick now, my apologies

/starting to get off topic

EDIT: Now that I re-read the triangles discussion I also notice that I came off sounding like a smart ass. I also apologize about that... don't know why I got so heated. It totally wasn't intended :S
