First Attempt at Modelling

[Roughbeak]

As the title says my first attempt at modelling - a snowman.
The arms do look hideous though, buttons in the middle somehow look strange also.

better than my first attempt but that was ins 2004 :S I feel old

Not bad for a first attempt.... I wonder perhaps we should start a first attempt thread to share our first (or earliest we can find) models. Could be amusing to see how horrible some of the senior artists started out

 

[volcol]

Good idea naga - just been looking through some of my old stuff *shudders*

I'd be interested to see that

I don't have any more of my really old stuff due to an HDD checking out a few years ago. But maybe I can dig up my first go at making a low poly character...

Edit: Actually, I just checked. I think it has been lost forever.

There have been quite a few casualties during development haven't there - last time I counted up it stood at 5 HDDs, 3 GPUs, 2 Motherboards and a PSU.

Returning to the topic in-hand - perhaps try a hard-body object next - they're easier than organic

Jesus haha how do you guys burn through hardware so fast?

We get a lot of use out of them first as a rule

Only a simple answer, their computers cannot handle the epicness of developing Traction Wars..

What program do you guys use? Now I'm interested.

What program do you guys use? Now I'm interested.

Yes I am as well, but I will not even get close to reaching the skills of what you guys are making in the foreseeable future.

Mainly the CE3 SDK, which makes maps and does other cool things + it's totally free. Also 3ds Max is used for making models and stuff.
CE3 SDK

I have been working on this SDK for months now, trying to improve my skills further to become a dev here.

For the past couple of weeks I have been working on a "Normandy" stylish map, but it is not finished quite yet. Still I am getting antsy to show it a bit...
The far horizons will change, they look a bit flat.


[MENTION=1426]Alex[/MENTION] Don't worry, I was once like that.... Matter of fact when I first started up the Editor I didn't even know where the objects were.

Sadly enough CE3 SDK does not supports for Mac...
