SWBF Series Model Showcase Thread 5th Edition

[THEWULFMAN]

Okay so, it has potential as a high poly model to get the normal map from. However there's some edges that would need to be beveled to get a really nice normal map on it, specifically any sharp edges like the hand grip. For a high poly model to use for creating normal maps, you don't want any sharp edges. It makes the map look bad afterwords when the light hits these edges.

It's a good model, and you show a lot of potential. Keep at it.

What is the average poly count for a unit. Or still, what is the max poly count for BF2 unit wise?

[noMatt]

up to 3000 but thats pretty much the max snd you need lowpoly lowrez (so not just a duplication of your highres, if you do that youll munge forever)

[JimmyAngler]

ok thanks, I'm at 2329. I've got to watch it now.

[THEWULFMAN]

The max for normal units in Unification is 5k tri, up to 8k tri for heroes.

Just sayin.

[JimmyAngler]

that is a relief.. thanks wulf.

republic senate repulsor pod (remade for the 5th time)

[MileHighGuy]

Wow what a faithful recreation. Are you gonna make a senate map?

[Gogie]

im attempting to recreate however I have a semi busy life schedule so for now im not certain; more trying to break myself back into xsi by remaking some older models.

[Marth8880]

Ooo, very cool. I think a very subtle environment map would look pretty snazzy on the smooth parts.

[Gogie]

I already have my flags preplanned;

Hidden/Spoiler:

the larger white light at the bottom of the pod will contain render flag 11 glow

hex glow / emissive colors on 2 front white lights / control panel

per pixel lighting / glow / bumpmap on the inside 4 lights of the pod

bump / specular (hex specular and flagged bump) on the black plasticy looking piece

bump mapping / specular on inside 4 panels at back ( with a very weak specular)

env map (which will not be implemented until the room itself is complete as i want each pod to give the illusion of reflecting other pods) / specular on the lighter grey pieces (the exception being bottom of the pod / back door of pod which are planned to have specular / detail map)

There's a model on 3D Warehouse from SWG that is spot on and can be good 3d reference for modeling a higher-res version.

Early wip of my terror bird model

I'm hoping to make it a walker/soldier hybrid like an acklay, if not, then just a walker.

[Kingpin]

Nice!

Question: what is a Terror Bird o_0

Well, now that I have my new, awesome computer, I got 3DS Max and finally learned how to make something more complex than a box!
I present to you, a random battleship gun, a 38cm quadruple gun.

Hidden/Spoiler:

It's not textured (I don't know how to do that yet) and I don't know how to export it or anything (I don't have XSI Modtool anymore), but this is the beginning of something great, I can tell.
Maybe if I ever get to it I can make a sea battle.
EDIT:
I just noticed this post was 1 day after the 1 month period, I hope that's okay.

The carbine isn't textured and need to be scaled down. The pistol already works ingame
