An example of increased knowledge of Blender and Modeling

[Clavin12]

You know that tutorial video in which you make a pawn? Well here's a bishop.

[Nielk1]

I's a series of extrusions on a cylinder and a Boolean subtraction of a notch...

[Dark Scion Soldier]

Not bad, not bad at all. Although I prefer Wings.

[Clavin12]

Actually the notch was the result of extruding and pulling inward. It made little black ugly crease marks on the ends but i collapsed some edges and it all worked out.

[Clavin12]

I was also wondering if modeling with the subsurf option is too much for bz2.

[Warfreak]

Battlezone2 DOES have a Tri limit. (This is more limiting than one would think).

Subdivision, tessellation, spherifying and the like all add faces to the model. Too many faces and your model no longer can be used by BZ2.
Either learn to fake detail or make objects with as little detail in mind as possible.

[Angstromicus]

Hint hint... detailed textures! TA5 allows for huge texture sizes.

[GSH]

And ta5.1 will allow for higher poly counts. Not endlessly higher, but modders should have a bit more room to work in.

And here's an achievement. It's an ant!

[Nielk1]

Good god what is this a BLOB modeler?

[Clavin12]

I can show you it without subsurf. The battlezone models will not be this way. I think for battlezone models its esiest to use wings for making the basic geometry but this is good for textures, hardpoints, and such.

You have issues...

When did all this cynicism start? Certainly not when I joined years ago. Dang.

Nice ant BTW.

People don't like Clavin. His views are controversial. And until recently, he showed a complete lack of modding knowledge. Not something to hate him for, I'm sure he's a nice enough guy. He asks the right questions.

[Warfreak]

Ignore Nielk's attitude, he didn't sleep.

Clavin, i HIGHLY recommend posting pics of the FINAL model and not experimentations for future models, eyecandy is NOT something people need when ~2000 polies is all we got to use for in game model. (In other words, don't put peoples expectations too high.)

Blob modeling is a type of modeling that is often used in Movies. Smartasses.

How about Googling for once. Twits...

I bet you dropped my Karma for something that was actually a compliment.


I don't know how to blob model.
