ime sorry guys i really cannot bring myself to do the chicken walker... it is not because that i dont like the model or i am having difficulty with it... it is that it reminds me of my friend and i just end up staring at it for hours... i have done about 3 hours of that... and i stuck 1 tiny part onto it in that time

anyway... in a fit to move away from it i have been doing a model for the 3d compo now that it is up and away.... BIG CHEER!!

3D COMPETION LINK

and the image

it is almost done... then i am going to do some post texturing in photoshop.. as i am trying to improve my texturing. all texturing so far has been done in bodypaint.. which is an awesome program.

then i will do some kind of scene for it, and setup the final lighting... and i will have my very first properly finished model...
WOOOO..


thankyou to stu for pointing it out, the encouragement, and his awesome stuff that is an inspiration to look at... + he is really good at texturing so ime seeing what i can do

Very impressive, now add some sexy materials.

[SHIVMOO]

thats later dude... after i have done some over with the photoshop... i have done the lower wing... didnt take long now i know how to do the pattening

[ThaBirdman]

dude...i need to catch u on msn so we can talk about this bodypaint/zbrush thing....

this is great, though im dissapointed about teh chicken walker, you made up for it majorly w/this thing...i love the smiley face on teh fron lol...

thats a nice ship. looks really fast too. kind of reminds me on a pod racer from star wars.

i wish i could enter the contest, but I gave up on 3D a while back. I'm OK with it I just can't afford any of the programs. Hopefully we can get a contest at P2L to win some 3D software!

[alexames]

Thats awesome, i think i might try and start getting into 3D. Your work is very good. 3D seems to be becoming more and more popular nowadays.

[coolaid]

maybe zion would make vehicles like that!
but for real it is actually good in terms of modeling, but shape-wise.. nu uh. too blocky.

[SHIVMOO]

i like it blocky ....
the referance is very blocky 2. it kind of gives it the look that it is made by someone who knows about aero dynamics, but doesnt know how they work, so they have the wings right but they slipped up on everything else, kind of like a car, think its something like the mustang.......

thanks for the comments guys, 3d should become more popular, its one of the art forms that lets you swing round your pieces and look in different angles.. like statues..







EDIT: didnt want to double post as i get told off for doing so
i have now done the first paint job on the jet engines



EDIT: i missed some bits on the jet engine (luckily not visable from this angle, so i hadnt seen them)
and i have started playing around with a material for le windows....

the rudder is next on my list...

[SHIVMOO]

okie dokie... i got bored with editing... i think editing 3 times with new content allows me to post another reply

done allot of the rudder... nearing the end of this stage

[Stu]

really nice, could you just at a few more lights on there somewhere so we can see the texturing better, atm its a bit dark and we cant appreciate the true beauty of it

[venomsnake]

looks great, cant wait till its done, i have a 3d program, but dk how to use it...

[SHIVMOO]

i think your right about the lighting... it has gradually been getting brighter... but it should still be brighter still....
what program have you got snake??

[Xanderdude]

Looks sexy shivs keep it up!

[SHIVMOO]

okie dokie... i have a brighter render... which made me notice some mistakes on the main middle bit... so i had to redo that bit.. and i also finished the textruring under the wings... not great texturing but i can go over it again later

[ThaBirdman]

ttooooo briggghthttt greeeennnn!!! make it more cammo colored, not pretty green like u have

[/quit]

Yeah i really dont like they green and yellow, they dont compliment eachother well

[SHIVMOO]

shiv cries....

dont know anyother colours.... i will replace the yellow with something but i cant think of any...

[alexames]

I think it looks ace! About the background, try putting a space background on it, or something, instead of just leaving it with a black background.

And about the yellow, try making it white or something, might look good.

try just a darker, more jungly green, closer to brown, and itll look much better...i think the yeller looks real good, i wouldn't change it but its up to u i guess

[CoryMathews]

lookin real good shiv. i would change the yellow to a white or light grey though.
