Grizzly model...

[Josiah]

when GBD posted that pic that was supposed to make us all drool... I looked at it and said, 'That's a regular grizzly, with some fancy stuff tacked on. I betcha I could do that'

So here it is...



and the original pic...



and the 'regular' pic...





be honest and tell me what you think. I'm sure it's riddled with flaws, but then I'm kinda new to this stuff, so give me some slack.

Very nice, keep it up. I would love to help with the texture if you need it. Poly count?

ooh, unfunny... at least 10k, but that's my fault. the problem is I had 2 6x18x6 face cylinders for the barrels... totally fixable

EDIT: I also had 5x10x1 face cylinders for the hand grips...

You're missing the minigun on the left

Wrong. Just the texture looked like one before close inspection. Guess the concept model didn't need miniguns..

If you want it in BZ2, just remember that the triangle ceiling is 20k.

[Josiah]

oh I intend to knock it down at least 5k...

here's a different view...

[Josiah]

here are some thing I think might be done, but I'm not sure...





note: do not EVER get dial-up; it takes forever to upload pics...

EDIT: 'need to be', not 'be'; big difference...

is that for ta5, or pb5.1? ta5 doesn't work on my computer, dial-up is way to slow to download pb5.1...

PB5.1.  And to answer your two questions on the pic GBD posted,

what the heck is this?

Either a hatch or plate armor of some kind.  Don't forget the two hand holds that are just under the turret there!

are these more antennae?

Nope, that looks like a hand railing to me.  A single railing with the shadow under it.

they're there, it just doesn't show up very well...

you're right! That would make more sense too. Thanks!

The "More antaenna?" on the left was what I initially thought was the minigun.

[Ultraken]

This is definitely going well.

"what the heck is this?"

A hatch? maybe maintinence or engine. I think it's the "hood" 

Awesome you are now my best friend.

[Josiah]

ok, down from 11k faces/vert, to 3636 faces/3225 vert.  Here is an 'updated' version, with edited parts in blue:




I didn't think the excessive detail on the barrels and hand grips was necessary, so I turned the grips into squares, and bent them to look like hand grips, and then I used 2 cylinders with a *lot* less detail and a much lower face count. I still have the nice looking one, but I don't think I'll ever use it...

is there any more concept art, like the pic GBD posted? If so, I'd like to look at it; you never know what might happen...

would you mind? what I would like is a tad higher res texture. do you need the 3d file? (I hate unwraping uvs)
