Description
I may not have my complex model finished yet,but this low-polygon model which i origionally planned on importing into UT-2004 is just about finished other than the fingers wont move properly yet (hence the stiff fingers)
again, this is a LOW-POLY model
the details will be a bit chunky-er so it wont be as smooth as usual (because i had to delete and re-shape thousands of polys)
anyway! ^.=.^
please tell me what you think! all critique is welcome!
(and yes btw that IS a DragonForce logo on his shirt)

Very cool. May I ask how you did the wings? I use 3Ds Max as well and have been itching to make a dragon.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hmm... the wings were pretty dam complicated to model
lets see if i can explain...
first i extruded the fingers, from there i extended faces off of the sides of those fingers, before finally collapsing the verticies so even though they all met at one point, there was still membrane in between the fingers.
one thing to make SURE to do is to make the wings 2 sided so there has to be a space on the edge for a polygon to fit in between,
from there you just cut faces out and remove any uneeded lines, shape for what you want the wings to be, and thats pretty much it... i doubt this will help you at all unless i were to go more in debth
hope this helped ^.=.^

Well, I'm sure it'll point me in the right direction. Thanks for sharing.

np
just keep in mind a lot of the time there ISNT a "right" way to do it, i usually just come up with solutions as i go along!
~but getting help from others is rly nice too

thank you thank you thank you!
heh, just wait till you see my High-poly model, its 2X better ^.=.^

no problem ^_^ i my self am going into 3D animation and i love seeing other people's work
I also watched your movie too. its very cool ^_^
i've been wanting to model a dragon but i always end up messing up or creating something else XD the closest thing to a dragon i have made is my lizard model XP
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ooh, cool ^.=.^
heh, thanks, i worked rly hard on it
now about modeling, the best way to get better is to experement, i didnt have any real modeling instruction, i just went at it
tutorials MIGHT help, but they only show you ONE possible way to do it
dont give up and keep trying different methods of modeling, find the one that suits you ^.=.^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
XD i love that little dragon face you makes ^_^
no problem
yeah that's what i did with my lizard its all self taught mostly.
yeah i'll keep at it

Pretty nice, it doesn't have as much of the boxy look low poly models usually end up with. What modeler do you use?
DragonForce WOO!

lol thanks ^.=.^
i use 3D Studio Max version 9

You could lose a couple of polies on his toes and hands. Remember, the detail is in the texture, not the model
Like the yellow blobs on his nose should just be texture, etc.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
uh huh, good point ^.=.^
BUT
since i havent figured out how to custom-texturize this model, that doesnt rly apply
and ive deleted enough polys to be under the limit so i think its unnecessary to take away more =\
thanks for your opinion though
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm... what program are you using? Maybe I could show you how to add textures...
There's a limit?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I use 3D Studio Max 9
and in order for it to run in UT2004 the limit is somewhere around 6000 polys
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, haven't used that one. I use gmax though, which is an older version of 3ds max that was supposed to be a free version. The program was later dropped. But it's still free.
And 6k polies? Well I model for warcraft 3, and even a model with 1000 polies is considered to be high-poly
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol, well im just going by what a friend told me of how he did it
my complex model has well over 100,000 polys
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's a lot of polies.
First you add an Unwrap UVW modifier on the object. Then the unwrapping thingy should just be in the Material Manager and then you go to File System, then you click and drag the texture on the model. Then you go onto the unwrap uvw and wrap it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i know all of that
im talking about that kinda stuff where you actually MAKE the texture like SKIN and such so that the whole model isnt the same uniform texture, like different patterns of scales on different parts or like the underside of the arms gradually gets darker... that kinda stuff you need like PhotoShop or something to make it so that the different patterns and textures blend into each other
THAT kinda texturizing
but thanks for trying to help
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah yes, making the actual texture
Thought you were talking about the unwrapping part.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh lol, guess i should have explained better

Wow! Look how far you've come with this! OMgosh! Ahh thats so sweet! Love it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sweet! You did alot with a low poly count, you should be able to get this to render super fast in any DirectX or OpenGl game.
Those wings are awesome!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
heh, thanks ^.=.^
i managed to get the poly count below 6000 (a LOT harder than i expected
the wings were RLY hard to make look decent with minimum faces XP thanks again!

DRAGONFORCE FTW : DDD
That looks so awesome O: I can't wait to see him finished.
Those feet are pretty cool o3o
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol thanks ^.=.^
although he IS pretty much finished on this level
glad you like the feet though
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're very welcome :B
Well yeah... but I mean all smoothed out and such D:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
this is as smoothed as its going to get
if i were to smooth it out it wouldnt by a low-poly model and would actualy multiply the number of faces XP
but my OTHER model will DEFINETLY look more smooth
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If that's smooth, I dunno what is!
*pets*
Oh wait, yes i do 8D
