Starting new tut need some input..
 

Hey guys...getting ready to start a new tut to begin the new year with a bang and would like members to help be a part of the project with input on what they want to see..

What I'm aiming for is a project to combine character modeling, texturing and hard surface modeling. I will be changing styles for this project as well to get away from my cartoony look and going for a more gritty realistic style.

So far I have these ideas running through my head:

Space alien- something like in StarCraft or Starwars ...cool suits and big guns

Cowboy/CowGirl - Lots of layers of clothing as well as guns

Combination of a machine driven by a character - covers both soft and hard surface modeling as well as making sure both fit right and work well together..

so give me some feed back on these ideas...

Kurt

of those two i would definatly say alien
we have to many humans

but what i would REALLY like to see is a city scape scene

I would like to see a Preditor tutorial, a good combination of organic and hard surface armour and weaponary modelling.
Failing that anything with a HR Giger influence would be cool.

As far as alien v predeter is concerned i would prefer to see the alien kind of alien, but armoured like a predetor, possibly with weopanry or maybeclaws or something

I was thinking of doing a predator!

Hey Kurt, what about a knight on horseback? Be a good mix and should be nice to do???

Maybe we should have a Predator challenge ;)

alien would be cool

definitely the alien ... I like strange creatures :D

Well as I said in a previous post somewhere around here wouldn't you like to make a hi res model of a sweet bad ass looking night elf chick ? with armor :D

sry if this sounds retarded but I'd really like a pro to make a tut for smth like that ... hell you can charge blood for it for all I'd care :))

sry if I sounded retarded :))

edit: you can even make him amount like gister123 said ... a nice big bad ass angry looking saber tooth ...

haha right after my exams I'll buy wow ... kind of eager to loose my social life actually :))

A knight on horse back isnt a bad idea
but i would prefer an alien

This may sound dumb, and is probably incorrect.....But would Kurt be committing Copyright infringement, if he were to model the Alien, or Predator, and then Sell it for a profit???

I know that on Turbosquid allot of models had to be removed because companies that had their designs and products Replicated by modelers, and sold for Profit... actually restricted the rights for their products to be Replicated for sale, and profit.

I know it's ok to model this stuff, as long as your not going to be making money from it, Though this could all be false (I'm not sure) but it would be worth looking into it.... Though I've seen allot of tuts on modeling Copyrighted material, such as, spaceship designs from Starwars, and cars.

They all seem to be fine!!! :beer:

Though what would be really cool to see (if possible) the Alien Queen modeled, and textured.

IF i do a alein it wouldn't look like a preditor 100%. I rather have something that has some characteristics of but in the and is my own creation.

Yeah dont do it 100% a copy as i just dont like modeiling other peoples stuff (which i geuss is what im doing if im following a tutorial!)
now thinking about it a knight wouldnt be a bad idea
but i think hed have to be well armoured
paladin like

how about a knight chick, with big armor wielding a hudge dual handed sword or wielding a sword type weapon and a katana type weapon ... dual wielder, and the sword thing-ies (the places where you put sword in ...) on her back in a nice X position ?

just a thought ... :D

a knight with a katana HAHAHAHAHAHAH, dont think i seen that before :attn:

well in my vision the knight is a chick ... wouldn't want her to make a hernia now would we ... that's why I said katana instead of 2 swords .. maybe katanas are a bit less heavy :))

or hell ... maybe Kurt can show us how to model a female hernia, never seen one ... allthough I know how one looks at us lads, had it operated one yearg ago :)))

Joking about Kurt modeling a hernia ... don't get offended or anything :D

take care and much love,
Vick.

To sum up im going for a well armoued knight or alien
i dont want a female knight cause of the fantasy female tutorial

how bout you add a really good landscape while you're at it

yeah we need a landscape tutorial
i would like a city one

So what do you think kurt? any ideas?

I got something planned you will all see soon=)

BTW nice dragon tutorial
those big things on the side of his head are ears!

model blocked.. lots more will change with cool armour weapons you name it..

woooh this looks so nice! good biiiig ugly mean beast !

good one :)

wow, looks fun :attn:

i assume the body is in polygons since its two shades cuz of the hard edges

Is he gonna have teeth?
or is he just gonna be gummy?

Ya hes poly... and will have some kind of teeth...

Last update for a bit untill i get further down the road with him. Hands are done as well as basic body shapping.

looking good :)
wanna see how it turns out :)

with the way the beast looks, it almost seems as if it should be in a harness and a smaller person should be riding it (think master-blaster from mad max: beyond thunderdome)

neo funny you mentioned that i was considering something like that...

starting the muscle and skin look now have ears and toes on.

the face looks stunning ... good job on that one ... :)

all though I think his hands are a bit humanish for what he is ... a 3 fingered palm would look awesome IMHO :)

good job kurt !

shaping almost done just need some more work on the arms and toes.. then off to his gear

textures will change him a lot

Has a similar look to the rancor from 'Jedi'

I hope you are going to Zbrush this...

_Jay

hope so too mate heheh

Reminds me a little more of a troll from the lord of the rings films.

Looks pretty good!

Still using Z-Brush 2?

Just needs some nice chompers now ;)

Nice work!

skin tone underway still need a lot more work

i love how kurt just ignores someppl and not others

?

U might not mean it but, you've done it to me in the past too :)
