Really cool stuff! I'm gonna start 3-D graphics in about 2 months at school. It looks like a hell of a lot of fun once you get the hang of it.

cobra i made real quick... no textures yet

its really frustrating sometimes... there's just so much tweaking involved its insane. maybe when i get used to it...

this semester was animation1.. which only focuses on modeling...
next semester ill finally learn to animate and rig the models.. and in animation 3 ill learn to composite it into live action and stuff.

dog im working on in class

snake (refrained from showing its face cause the texture on it is trash...lol)

 

[.: The Cal :.]

Wow, pretty cool stuff. Nice passion for 3-D modeling, and I like how you make the texture and characters look cool!

 

[xwolverine2]

any ideas of what i should attempt to model next?

preferably a cartoon character, not human-like, and not overly complicated with clothes..
ex: Sonic, Ahh real mosters, jimmy neutron

These are really great. The cobra is very striking, but I just love the dog.

starting learning ZBrush.. easier to model with zbrush, just requires some sculpting skills

rough lion door knob thing (20min)

 

[xwolverine2]

quick creature design i sketched up... might model this sometime

 

[xwolverine2]

head model ive been working on...

i prefer modeling in zbrush.. its less technical and more art

 

[xwolverine2]

arny.. lol

 

[B-man]

"I'll be back." thats cool,

 

[xwolverine2]

im creating an original character that i plan on rigging and in the future animating as well..

im basing it on this concept..
but changing it so it doesnt look too rocketeer/megaman-like, and more original.



this is all really rough so far..

 

[xwolverine2]

jet-pack

The new stuff looks great! I just started working in Maya myself. Holy hell is it difficult. I feel like it's a cross between Open GL and Sketchup. You definitely need patience to do the work.

 

[xwolverine2]

ALOT of patience lol.... have you modeled anything yet?

just rendered this out....
