Hi,

I'm pretty new to 3D modelling but I think I'm getting the hang of it now. Anyway, I just wanted to get peoples feedback on a few models I've produced recently. All are rendered in Cinema 4D 6 and not really for use in a game - I made them more for personal enjoyment, but anyway here they are...

They all look very nice, you're quite good at modelling. What modeller did you use, I know you said they are rendered in Cinema 4D 6 but is that what you modelled then in too?

Not bad GCEclipse, you realy use lot of primitives, but for somebody who just started modeling its OK.

Thanks, as I say I'm starting out, so don't be too unforgiving of them.

Wow. Period. You may construct everything mainly out of primitives, but you put them together with beauty and style.

Thanks for all the generally positive feedback.

I'm not sure I see the problem with constructing using primitives - I tended to take them as building blocks, but I do reshape them, perform boolean operations and change the basic structure at the vertex level when needed. I felt it was a little unfair to "looks like primitives slapped together. i see very little modeling" - because surely its how you put them together thats important?

Am I supposed to be constructing models vertex by vertex, or something? I don't understand...

Some folks do get down to the vert level.

I happen to like Merv, I can see that he's deliberately designed that way. The following robot shows that you're capable of more more complex shapes.

GC it really depends on how your going to use them.

If you want a limb based system where each object is a closed mesh or a shape then thats quite fine. It does however add polys and can look dated since its not a mesh deform style.

If you design with meshdef in mind you will save polys and reduce seams or seamlines between bending areas.

the end result of your work is still very valid tho, it looks good.

still tho if its purely just for rendering images theres no harm in either method. sometimes a combination of both is warranted as well.
Im thinking about a cars body and tyres as an example.
