Dmacb WIP thread

Hi!

Sorry to borrow the title from other guys from the community, but this title is really good!

So... now that I'm free I've more time to do 3D so I'll post more stuff here... 3D and post-production stuff...
I hope that with your critics I can become a better 3D artist... or at least have a good time!

So... started modelling with sub D's... new thing to me... All was going ok until I decided to collapse or make an editable poly out of the piece I was working... at that moment the... polys... hit the fan!

I'm attaching some images... If someone can explain me what to do or what is happening I would be very grateful... because I want to attach some pieces together and some need to be subD and other don't... so if I collapse them I can use them without passing the Turbosmooth modifier to all the pieces...

It's because you're trying to collapse the Isoline, turn it off and then collapse and it'll be fine. Not sure why you would want to collapse it anyway though, just create everything SubD.

[dmacb]

Ahhhh...

Thanks Fluxity!

I'm collapsing because I thought it would be a smart thing to do, because that way I could save some polys... but I guess I thought wrong...

And before you ask (or someone else)... YES, it's a rifle (they're popular right now... ahahah)...

Does someone wishes to try to find out wich rifle it is?

[dmacb]

Here's another screen grab, with the parts assembled and a bit more done...

Hope you like it!

Hi!

Here's a bit more done in my rifle... I think now it's easy to see wich gun it is... any comments and critics are more then welcomed!

Now I'm off to the sight and other parts...

PS - I must have some curse... I used to have adsl as connection to the internet and now that I'm on cable, I find it very difficult to acess 3d-palace... but it's the only site in wich it happens... any ideas?

It's a dragunov sniper rifle! Easy to id it so your model must be pretty good then

I'm having troubles to access with 3dpalace too

You're right... and thanks for the trust... this is my first atempt with subD's so I hope to learn alot and that all goes well... but it appears to be going so...

Mmm... these problems with 3D Palace... when I try to repair the connection it usually says that it cannot get an answer of the server 202.sss.sss.sss.. (sss -> some numbers...)

Thanks for the feedback

It's a lot better when I'm using Firefox. IE just can't get connected. That's weird.

[dmacb]

Mmm... I just tested with firefox and it didn't worked out... In my case I think it's my connection... something strange because it should be smoother than adsl but...

[dmacb]

Modelled just a bit more and decided to see how it was going... used a couple of lights and some arch materials and here it is...

Reflection is way up, I know... The plane is a phong with some specularity... Don't know yet what kind of camera plane I'm going to use... this one looks nice but after the rifle is done I might change it...

Textures will be (probably) most procedural with some maps... let's see... I'm also starting to imagine a scene to use the gun but that may or may not happen...
