model of a soldier - a work in progress thread

[reason3d]

well technically its not a model yet .

these arent the textures that will be used , and i still have to clone and rebuild another version for normal mapping .

i could make the merc look like cs with muscles , but you guys dont have artistic vision so youd still see it as merc lol .

wait, that's the HIGH POLY!?

You're still going to add lots of detail or even zbrush it, right?

[Tidenburg]

Tip, don't say other people don't have artistic vision when you just posted a manikin trying to sell it off as a man.

Word of advice, create the high poly version for normal mapping first. Making the low detail model first is quite ass-backwards for quite a few reasons. You're just creating more work for yourself. Your real-time model should be wrapped around the normals version so that you can ensure the real-time mesh has the appropriate geometry to support the normals map details. Also, it makes it way easier to optimize your real-time mesh when done this way.

Creating a base model, saving a copy of it for a starting point of the low poly after you complete the normals version can work but the amount of detail modeled into this one is a bit much. You can save yourself a lot of work by just using a generic male humanoid as the starting point.

Also, not to beat a dead horse here but your hands need TONS of work. Hands are a pain in the ass though so don't be surprised if you spend a good amount of time getting them right.

Don't have artistic vision? You should know who you're talking to about art before you make such a bold claim. Your soldier model...looks like....the crash test dummies. In my eyes, you are so far from professional quality. Amateur at best.

lol you take the man so serious ... no artistic vision means you all play plinter cell for thousands of hours and have been brainwashed .. sort of like the "you know you played too much plinter cell when ... " thread .

if this doesnt apply to you then go fuck yourself haha . lol jk

no seriously , if goodkebab is correct which im realizing he probly is , i have to spend over a hundred hours to make this model complete . total i spent like 3 , and i was playing insurgency for a good bit too .

amateur , possibly , i dotn work s a modeler so i guesss youre right , lol

I LOVE BEING AN AMATEURRRRR , MERRY XMAS EVERYONE , I LOVE AMATEURS .

Wierd... 'cause in a lot of other forums you state that you're professional, and only using the best 3d techniques, and only high poly / high quality models, which this is not -.-

Also.. I saw that solider model of yours on another forum, where you stated that it was finished, and just needed skinning...

So how did 8% suddenly go to 100%?

Something else I don't understand is, how you can make a model like this, when you have 6 years of experience?

The image below was made by a guy with 4 years of experience...



Or even just 1.5 years:

[Bionic-Blob]

maybe they're more artistic?

[MulleDK19]

But still... compare!
