Armor me thread, ESF version

[Nuttzy]

like the original thread over at polycount, (i was not the author of that one), I will post a basic male model, and you guys (i will participate too) will model armor over and around him

any style of armor will do, whether it be medieval, modern day, or futuristic.

this is the model you will be working with

click here to download,




here is what i made in about 30 minutes of tinkering,

its a little too poofy around the shoulders but i like it, (i probably should've given him some hair so it wouldn't look so awkward)

 

[PiXel]

you mean we will tell you what to do? ._."

if so add him shoulder pads and 2 swords.... if not explain it again >_<


ouw just found the download, kkk

 

[ShadyD]

he means for everyone to download the model and edit it in such a way to have armor, regardless of style/age/sex
Cool nuttz, ill give it a try.. tommorow... sleeepy..

 

[Booler]

Sound fun

i will try a futuristic armor later.

 

[Nuttzy]

i should note, feel free to edit the proportions of the model to fit whatever style your going for,

i found out the hard way that he looks a little goofy with samurai armor with that buffed up torso, whereas he probly wouldnt look so off if he had been a little slimmer,

 

[Booler]

so theres no problem when i change the polyflow a bit ?

 

[Nuttzy]

go ahead, what flow area bugs you btw? i may have missed something =P

its only 890 tris too =/, shouldnt be alot of flow to worry about. scares me to think i borked something up with that amount of polys



**EDIT, i got bored and decided to texture the armor on this one, (allbeit very quickly =P)

a few stretchy spots, but for the most part it turned out pretty good.


and cmon guys, we need some more people doin this. i cant be the only bored person in here =P


now to figure out what im gonna do next >_>.

 

[Kreshi]

nice armor so far nuttzy

 

[Basslover722]

Sweet ass. thats nice skin.

BATMAN DADADADADAADADAA BATMAN!

 

[ShadyD]

naked.max..
gah i didnt check if it was uvwmapped, is it? (Cant atm..for a while..meh)
If it is, im sooo editing it to be cool and skin it =P

 

[Nuttzy]

yes its uvmapped, should be anyways

 

[Skiwan]

That armour is sexy nuttzy, very sexy, Its quite inspiring too D:

I think it could do with some kinda colour variation though... all orange and black is sexy, but something like a dark red on the sword handles or something would spice it up a little D:

 

[Nuttzy]

thanks =P, i thought it was weird how it looks like its normal mapped, when all it is is a VERY VERY basic spec and bump map,

now my only problem is making a face to go with it, the head skinmap has a few problems =/, the eyes stretch like hell no matter how you approach em

i know thsi was just an armor challenge thing, but meh. the armor turned out too good to just let it be.

i still plan to do another suit though, just not 100% sure which


**edit,

finished it

he looks a bit to American to be a samurai IMO, (even though i photo sourced an Asian dudes head =/) but its alot better than any of its predecessors

oh, and btw heres a link to a playable TS model of him =), it deforms like ****, and i had to scale his arms just to have em fit the skele, but i reckon its fun for a few minutes

(i haven't tested it ingame yet, just hlmv)

 

[ray_1301]

Half life freeman samurai style

u could at least textured his hands u lazy bum! Al deff crack something out when i get more free time.

 

[Nuttzy]

meh, i know, the problem is i uvmapped the hands so horribly that its utterly impossible to texture them.

if it had modelled fingers and all it wouldve been easier, but these potatoe hands are a ***** to skin >_>, even with a good uvmap.


i look forward to your contribution as well, i hate being the only person doing a full sit of armor in here.

not knocking on your batman movento, but its not as "armorey" as id hoped =P.

 

[movento]

note that i still have alot of work on this one,and i did it in a rush.
FREEZE MOTHER****ERS!!!(

 

[TeKNiK]

I've got about two hours of downtime here before my interview so what the hell the clock starts now lets see what I can come up with in two hours.

 

[ShadyD]

Meh your not the only one... untill i find time again that is..

 

[Nuttzy]

note that i still have alot of work on this one,and i did it in a rush.
FREEZE MOTHER****ERS!!!(

lawl, ill have to take a new direction with my new concept now, i was gonna do a suit based on the RE2 Leon, which is too similar to a standard swat set up.

i havent started modeling it yet though, so i still have time to think of something else,

maybe a suit based on segfreid from soul blade, =)
