Axe!!!

Well it may seem random to suddenly model a axe right? However this weapon will be the new replacement axe for my character I did when I was in uni. As many projects are still unfinished maybe I had in mind to finish from the beginning if that makes sense, starting with this character design, moving on to the environments which i did at uni then on to projects from competitions and personal projects. so hopefully this way I will learn many more ways to proceed.

Toon Texture Test

It's a bucket of water....... Well as simple it maybe I learnt a lot in terms of texturing and UV- Mapping layout with non-organic objects. This really was a warm up towards a few other projects that require this toon style/ is the style I'm going for overall it was fun to do. till next time laters.

The wondering Scribe

Well having a short break from the tank model as the texturing is driving me mad so complex. Thought I do mini challenge to warm the texturing up but may just help out over all, so the theme for this challenge was to design a chibi character with one of six classes I had a few sketches of each class but felt more towards the scribe as a more interesting character to do. I however do wish to finish  this little guy off because its about time I had a finished project :)

New Render with lighting

With the tank have now been adjusted that I felt that need to be fixed such as the turret and the Tank tracks and now the low poly model having been modelled and unwrapped its on to some lighting and texturing. firstly some lighting with a simple sky light and a few others. The lighting is up first but I wanted to do some presentation shots with the hi poly model, still not great but will get there with more renders.

Nice Sky Render

Well after asking around on what I can improve or have missed, I added the details that were missing and refined the model there maybe more I can do but frankly I can't see it... So here is a simple sky render with  one with wire frame.

Hi Vs Low!

Just a quick Update on the tank nothing much, Could not get this guy into zbrush with no working versions :( I decided to just go onto the low poly still two or three things left to build then will add detail with remaining polys lower the better I think.

Hi Rez Done? I think not XD

Well so the tank hi-rez is done in max, will bring it into Zbrush for some dirtying up then work on a low poly version 10k seems to be the bench mark for most vehicles in terms of poly count. I'm sure that it will be done to that standards and may make a 5k version to show different resolution capabilities. still quite slow on this project however Would like to finish my warrior character I did for Dominance war 5 :T.
