Well I wasn't talking about the noisy parts of modern polymer pistol grips, I was referring to the crosshatching you might find on a 92FS or M1911.

Its just my preference, but i like to squeeze every last detail into things.

Of course I'm not saying 'this SCAR will suck until you do it my way' or anything, it's just something to consider when you don't have much time to do a model or whatever.

Although I'll be very interested when it becomes the norm to model in the individual bumps on polymer grips, that would be crazy.

It would be awesome if you could do some modelling for Calibre, as Maxi has mentioned previously Though maxi has improved alot now with his models, it would be nice to have you on board, even if its just the odd model If your at all interested in the idea, then contact me on msn:



I realise that you are probably very busy and wont be able to do much if anything. But cudos on your models all the same

Not sure if anyone was interested, but i will throw these out here anyway, been doing some more work in UDK, and managed to create my own water material/shader, thanks to this overview on materials for UDK i found on the net, trust me to lose it though.

Yeh, water materials in UDK are a fine art...

Yours looks quite sweet. Are you using a render to texture?

The atmosphere looks awesome. Not sure how to word this correctly, but: Is the volumetric light already in the Unreal engine, or is it something that you had to add yourself?

Not to my knowledge, i have only really started messing around with materials, ill have a chat with you on MSN.

Quote: "What 3D modeller do you use? And can you teach me how to make gun for FPSC? Im stucked at making guns that cannot be use in fpsc. Please teach me..."


I use 3ds max, but if you are new to modelling, blender is your best bet. I am not sure how much i can teach you though, most of what you learn is best self taught, what did you have in mind?

Quote: "The atmosphere looks awesome. Not sure how to word this correctly, but: Is the volumetric light already in the Unreal engine, or is it something that you had to add yourself?"


Thanks man Im not sure exactly what you mean, as in, is it a feature that is supported in max? Or something that you need to implement? Or in the sense of, do you manually have to create it in UDK?

I assume that the screenshots above are from UDK/Unreal? I know that Max can do volumetric lights, but I wasn't sure if it was something you actually had to apply in UDK, like a shader or something (like the water), or is it just a "click to place volumetric light source"

I'm not very familiar with UDK. I have it on my home computer, but I only got as far as opening it, saying, "Hmmm.... looks like there are a lot of things to learn. I'm gonna need to read some tuts.
*Close program*"

Hes on about the blooming and light 'rays' in the renders ^_^" they can be both done in max and unreal, depends on how you you want it done really, but the end result isnt too different.

Looks pretty amazing, ill have to take a look see at unreal and Udk an that when i get some spare time, cry engine recently became restricted freeware so ill take alook at that aswell.

asteric@

its looking good, you're overlappying a lot of alphas which can work but sometimes leaves detailless gaps which stick out. its looking great though, i'd recommend using the... (testing a few brushes in zbrush)... okay to achieve a decent surface with your model i'd subdivide it till you hit the 500,000 poly mark and then use the formsoft brush, with colour spray and alpha 63, use vertical zig zag strokes with the intensity no higher than 9, hope this helps and feel free to email me if you have any questions or issues

Thanks for the feedback, the mesh is already at just under 1 mil. I know what you mean about alphas, so i was trying to be careful with them, the circular pieces will be detailed into barnacles soon, so they dont have that 1 minute paintover look. I will give that alpha a go, and see what happens, cheers.

Model update, added in some more bulk/muscles, and finalizing colours. Next up is the bake, and then i am going to get to work on a nice scene to put him in.

Nice, cage came out quite well. Though he needs more, movability, right now its just a large mass with small tentacles, he needs the inescapable reach of a end boss. Maybe extending the tentacles or having another set wit longer reach. that or he could stretch them to attack,

Or he could have laser eye under water. And aim with his tentacles ( death star kinda, where the 4 beams meet ( the tentacles point to that point in space ) and the eye shoots through it xD. But I agree with lazerus. atm I think his tentacles would even be to small to move himself forward.

But love the low poly and the textures

Yeah, i was aiming for something along those lines, more of a creature that clings itself to rocks and islands, i think that i am going to keep these proportions to be honest, makes a nice variation to the default look anyway.

looks great, i hope thats in zbrush cos 4-5 million polies would kill max... if you are wanting to export it to max for demo purposes use the decimation tool to produce a much lower poly version, its in plugins just incase you were wondering, great work

Its actually not as bad as i thought, its 2.5 million, right now its actually in mudbox, as i find it easier for doing concrete and rocky objects, so ill export this and throw it into zbrush and decimate it. Then i will re-export and bake in max. Thanks for the comment.
