Thread of modeling and stuff.

[The_Sorrow]

I was really bored in College today so I made a Kabar:

has plenty of problems, grip isn't done, gaps aren't equal sizes, smoothing errors and it's ****

may do a propper one some day... we'll see

I'm in the middle of going through my bloated / archived models back from when I was working on KF-themed weapons (G36e, G3, Vector specifically). I'll be posting renders soon, but in the mean time does anyone know what a good number for polys is for Killing Floor? I'm in the middle of trimming the excess from some of them and just want to know what a good theoretical range is.

good amount I'd say is anywhere between 1-6K Tris, if any are around 7-8 or more, just remove edge loops.

...Jeez. Here I was thinking 1k was too much. Makes my job significantly easier. Thanks. :d

 

[The_Sorrow]

np, got any screens of your models?, I am curious to see :3

Also don't forget to post wireframes if you want some crits.

how do you render in wireframe?, I mean I know you can just printscreen in wireframe or edged faces but how about if you wanted to render or had nice lighting for edged faces?

 

[Z3RO]

Try this.

Honestly you really don't need a nice reader for wireframes, just set the material to default grey and press f4, then print screen.

Kinda like this, I used blue since I have that has my modeling material. The reason why I use blue for my modeling material, is because I have it set so when I press the keyframes button the material becomes translucent making it easier for me to model off reference images.

thanks mate, reason a nice render for wireframes would be good, was so if I were to show something off in My college to a teacher they can see I can do nice textures, models, lighting and edge flow, which I am kinda better at organics but you get what I mean, thanks again for the link ;3

Wow epic model/texturing mate! :O I would love this to be a weapon for KF. Any chance?

 

[Z3RO]

Redid the wood.
Sorry but its strictly mod work for now, once we get released, I'll port some of the weapons over to KF.

TWI should have hire you into their team.

Mate you make some sweet models!

Oh My God, that SKS is pure beauty!
My jaw dropped at all your work but especialy on the SKS.
Very well done models and materials man.

Thanks!

I finished it up awhile ago, looks much better then before, along with the M1911, once we do a media release, I'll post some of the finished work here.


Also, here's some wireframe shots of some of my other models, if anyone is interested.
