Big Update: 3 Models with Rotations!

My last post on my blog was whole three weeks ago, which is nuts! The only excuse I have for such laziness is internships and projects of other matters... and school, I guess. So to make this somewhat of a great "comeback" for my long, cold sleep is to give you three models (both old and new) to look at with rotations attached. Hopefully Blogger is kind to me this time and display the GIF animations as they are supposed to be, otherwise just go to my portfolio on deviantart to check them out.


I will start by uploading my old model Mizzor the Illusionist, who is kind of a tribute to Morrowind's excellent Dark Elf race, but is more of an other character in a story that I have in my head. As his title imply, Mizzor is a master in illusion magic and use mostly trickery to lure his enemies into traps or false visions. Therefore his outrageous clothing. Red is, in my opinion, the most eye-tricking colour out there and can be a great distraction for anyone. The downside is that Mizzor is no stealthy rogue. Red is kind of hard to use as camoflague. Well, maybe if he hides in red paint, blood, fire or in the pause screen of Red Dead Redemption...



(The Rotation)
EDIT: Damnations! I just now noticed that the cape is oddly "invisible" on the inside. For those who knows, I forgot to turn on the 2-sided material setting for the textures. For the rest, this is not a real problem and is easily fixed with a click of the button. I am just very clumsy and blind to these things at times. Just know that it's not some missing meshes/textures, I just don't want to go through that whole process again to edit and render the pictures all over again.


EDIT: Well, I couldn't get this out of my mind so I did just what I had no energy to do. Enjoy these re-rendered and re-edited pictures!


Next up is my latest before the projects and internships. THe Unveiled Prophet! Why such a odd name/title for a... man/creature/demon/thing? Well, I'm not telling. It's a character in my big epic story (with Avazza and Carecaz in the mix) that I may/may not write in the future. Anyway. The Unveiled Prophet is a man of many things, he believe heavily in change, in ambition and the individual struggle to achieve great things. So you know, he's evil, very evil indeed. I absolutely despise peace and quiet you see, he rather spoon feed children glass than watch his race stop being aggressive and curious, thus stop being motivated to move forward.


He's an entertainer as well as an man seeking entertainement. As much as he likes to amuse the people with stories and theatre, he also is one to find amusement in other people's struggles and achievements. I don't know what true archetype you can place the Unveiled Prophet into, but in simple terms: He's a madman. Enjoy the pictures!

Also, this is a vase!!




And now for the third model, which is tied to the project held by Sonny Maitland-Smith, the designs still made from the website:http://cyberpunk.asia/. This design is compatible with my first gun, the Predator and probably has something to do with a faction/team/idealogy in some form or another. It's a SMG type, and is heavily inspired by the UZI type of weapon. But it's probably a better idea to just let you see it for yourself. As they say about pictures vs. words, you know...



(The Rotation)




That's that then. Three whole models now uploaded and listed in my blog. Hmmm, is there something else... Ah yes! Here's a little teaser for what I'm doing next!


Well, okay it's nothing as fancy as some trailer, or even a picture, but read on anyway. I'm gonna model creatures and enviroments based on of my made-up worlds. This will be grand. Before I even give you a proper look on my latest WIP, I will need to write a backstory of this world, it's internal functions and the general idea of its style and ideas. This "world/universe" I have created has an underlying tone and make sense in itself but is still varied and dynamic enough for me to experiment and continue my mastery of the 3D aspects (no, not the glasses).



Okay, now I don't have anything more to say, look forward to my future blogging and the backstory, I suppose. Have a good day, folks!

Time for rotations and revolvers!

Alright, I think I will break the mold completely on all "results and finals". I will not bother with wireframes or polycounts unless asked of me. It's just tiring and kind of a waste of time when it feels unnecessary to show that for "the masses". So, all viewers, those who wants it... will have it. Otherwise I will not bother.


Anyway, these rotations are no surprises. It's the Unfathom and Unknown creatures from before and a greater look at the weapons Unfathom specifically use. Enjoy!










Well that's that...


But here's something completely new for a change of pace. A revolver! The Dragoon Revolver, to be exact : D


Once again I thank my mate Sonny from jolly good old England and the website http://cyberpunk.asia/, for providing me the designs and being the original creator of the design. Just as a bonus, the polycount is actually less than the Predator, roughly 1680 polygons, which just baffles me. The Dragoon is more round than the Predator! Round = more polygons, less round = less polygons! How did this happen? I will also note that this is the Rough and Dirty Dragoon version. Me and Sonny are cooking up a reskin which will be cleaner and more colour-popping, to the amount of eye-bursting, that will be kind of unique (e.g. only one character in the game ever use it). EXTREME!




Anyway. Here's the model and a rotation of it, hope you like it.

Unfathom and Unknown

Call them ghosts or poltergeists. These unnamed wraiths will kill you either way. : D

I'm going to break formula on these and not provide wireframes or the polygon count if not asked for. I will just provide you with some pretty pictures and turnarounds and that is that. Well, for now it will only be static screenshots as I haven't completely rendered all turnaround frames for "Unknown" yet. It will uploaded tomorrow, with another of the gun project I'm sitting on with my friend Sonny.

Enjoy!

Predator and Squid

So, after a whole week of absolutely nothing, I am back and now have quite a bit of things to upload. Joy! The first one is a standard model of my own design and origin, a squid. The second work I will upload here is a little more complex. More of that later, though.


First, enjoy these static shots as well as a nice turnaround, which acts also as a "blueprint". I wanted to experiment a little by making the GIF rotation a blueprint! Genius or Madness? You decide.



EDIT: Perfect, for some reason this GIF doesn't want to work on THIS PARTICULAR blog. It's still works on my deviantArt portfolio. Watch it there for a functional rotation animation instead.


The squid is actually an older model and is my first real sculptmodel ever to be made into the final stage. I almost completely forgot it somehow. Weird.


The gun model is associated with my newfounded contact in England. Even though it's actually based on a design made by a chap located on this page: http://cyberpunk.asia/, the design was provided to me by Sonny.


Sonny Maitland-Smith leads a small team, a really nice gentleman, who are working on an Unnamed Unreal Engine Game. The team are looking for people to help the game to become reality, that's where I coincidentaly got in to the picture. Anyway, here's the model I made for him. Will probably continue working with him, for the time being, and see where that is going.








Again, I am not the designer or the original creator of this model. I only modeled and textured it... Well, ok I did some work. But the credit goes to both Sonny and the aforementioned site for providing me the blueprints and directives in making the model. Hope you like my work, I still have a lot of models left to upload/render... Sigh :(


EDIT: Somehow I failed to notice that the comments were locked to members only. Guests/infamous anonymous couldn't critique for ****! I have dealt with that heretical false rule of my blog. The new regime says: Open zie gate!
