Modeling The Mark Iv

[Robbymrodriguez]

Hey guys! About off to bed but I wanted to update. I finished shaping the pecs, belt still needs doing. Started on the back and added detail to the top band.

I really, really need some reference pictures of the back of the armor, in some high resolution images if possible. I am working on the major details, but it is getting really difficult. Is there anyone who can get me this?

Um, the second one doesn't work and the first one is already common, and also of the front. I need images of the back. And under the arms also.

thats the scrapped version of the MKIV bungie desided not to use this design...



oh and constructive critisism. It seems youve got some unnessesary vertices in there.

they are easaly to get rid of. as you see you can merge them without having any disforming of the shape.

lol looks like rundown has some competition

I'm rather thankfull then seeing this as compitition.

Would bin to mutch timeconsuming to model it fully myself

 

[Robbymrodriguez]

*****sorry for the double post******* Had an error, mods can delete this one.

 

[Robbymrodriguez]

Alright, the upper left bubble, that geometry is necessary to the design. The other geometry was for something I think that didn't happen, and I have deleted it(using back space ). I appreciate you taking the time, and if you don't object once I have it more or less done I might send you the file so that you can look it over. Everyone gets attached to their "baby" if they work on it too long and I might miss some pretty obvious crap.



Also Rundown, I don't want to be competition either. I just want to be able to make this armor. Also maybe you ask for veteran status. If they give it out for making good armor... I mean I am realizing just how hard and time consuming this is. Without sounding selfish, I hope the mods realize all the work modelers go through and that in the end we have nothing special to show for it ourselves.





*Edit* I can't see any posted images... is anyone else having this problem? Mine are fine because they are from photobucket. But posted images don't show.

 

[Robbymrodriguez]

Alright I have made a ton of progress on the back but it has come to a halt. While in vertex mode by clicking I might actually select a polygon or edge. What mode I am in does not effect what I select except it seems harder to select say vertexes in vertex mode! This is causing me a lot of frustration.

Here is what I have on the back.

dayamn thats kooking sick, Mark IV is my fav outta all them, cuz it looks like it gives them more mobility

 

[Robbymrodriguez]

Boys and girls I am excited. Here it is! Now please note. There are probably some stupid, stupid errors. Please point them out. I have been working on this too long to see any problems. Also if you want I can provide you with the model to look at(does anyone know a way to lock a file?) but not to unfold or repost anywhere for any reason.

Take a look!

Haha dude I feel you. But I don't want to put out something that is crap or wrong.

it looks pretty good. you may want to add some "runners" under the back plate to brace it. but other than that it is good enough for the pep file. Pep files need to be basic detail. that way they can be put together easily. The majority of the detail: Ex. the shoulder straps would be carved in later. this helps get rid of folds that are not needed.



Can you pm me the file in 3ds format. I will take a look at it in pep and in 3ds max for you, I really want this to get your seal so we can put it together.

 

[Robbymrodriguez]

Tell me what you think!

that armor is incredible, nice work.
