Old School War/Aircraft (I dunno) Goggles AND Helmet
 

Been modelling these bad boys the last few days to go with a helmet aswell which is currently being textured,

Would like to know what you guys think and what changes can be made.

Cheers

:beer:

wow i love them ...i cant see anything wrong ... but love the work ... keep it up

Cheers Mmoore

Lovely job concorddawned,

I really like the leather texture. The only thing that bothers me a bit is the metal bit on the site that the strap is attached to, it looks a little too reflective. Could be that I'm just being picky though!!

Nice work, look forward to seeing the helmet,

Mat.

This is the helmet these goggles will be going on. Probably will start texturing tommorow.

:beer:

Thoughts are all welcome.

Oh and the pole is just there to make it look like its being held up.:p

Another angle

Im a fan of your work, Very nice and clean modeling. More updates because im interested in seeing this post

very impressive modelling, and amazing rendering skills on the goggles, they look stunning

Very nice concord. Isnt this from the Alias book for modeling? I have seen them in some alias books I have (the art of maya), i just dont have the one about modeling. The render on the goggles is excellent.

Awesome concorddawned! You have excellent texture and lighting skills! The modelling ain't bad either ;)

Any chance of seeing a "this is how I did it" post or tut?

i would pay for a tutorial on it ... can we say paypal.

Yeah, this looks really good so far! As others have said the texturing looks excellent.
:beer:

What sort of character are these for?

nothing to crit- the goggles especially are gr8

Thanks Everyone Your comments are great.

Minstrel Yes these are based on the tutorial but the textures/rendering and most of the modellng i did without help.

I guess i could do a tutorial it just depends on how many ppl would be interested.

As for the character arran I have no idea.. I guess that will be my next project.

Thanks again everyone,

More updates coming soon.

:beer:

Your work is so good I think if you did a tutorial, it would be Sick

Ok Guys heres a few updates,

Finished texturing the helmet in a couple of hours and heres the end result!.

Close Up

Dude. That is hot.

And a pic with both glasses and helmet.

Oh the straps are going through the plane just so i could get a better camera position.

:beer:

wow its looking real good. You should make a face to attach them glasses and helmet to

Thanks Mate. The face will be next.

Heres the last texture update for the helmet.

Just added a bit more green.

:beer:

once again you have outdone yourself ....

Cheers Moore,

Ive definatly learnt how important texturing/rendering quality is.

Got some good help from autodesk tuts.

Im happy to share my rendering settings just pm me.

:beer:

that is excellant work is all I have said, great lighting, ect if your organic modelling is as good as this work I can't wait to see the face. Something I'm interested in is how to do a face with this sort of realism.., love it but a long way off for me! Have you put the model in front of a Jpeg or is the table a model too?

by the way, I got a grip on the stuff you helped me with. (if you remember, maya and real footage.)

...and the reflections/refractions (correct wording??) on the glasses, far out...

Thanks Mirek.

Glad to have helped you.

The table is a model aswell.

Im in the mix of making a head for the helmet but i think its going to take longer than expected.

:beer:

That is so pimpin'! Awesome work! :beer:

:beer: cheers my friend, mate I gotta say, I look in awe at this work of yours but the leather band keeps hitting me in the face, I didn't want to say because, hell what do I know and the model isn't finished yet, but it seems the leather band has signs of wear as does the helmet but the edges of the band are crisp and not worn down a little as one would expect from leather that had been through a war, same with the visor, very crisp. I only say this because you have textured it which, from what I gather means your almost at lock down or wrap on this part of the model. I reckon that I rekon it should be worn down more overall to match the beating you have given the helmet.

catch you matey :attn:

hey concord

just was looking at all your posts ..you just amaze me ...seen you said someting about autodesk tuts ... did you get them off there site as a premium member ?

also i got the maya 7 foundation book ...didnt like how it stopped in midway on robot lol


what are you working on now ?

Cheers Moore,

I appreciate it!

Oh and yes i am a silver member on the autodesk site and it was definatly well worth it. So much great content in there.

At the moment im thinking of something new to work on, any ideas?

Oh and Mirek I will dirty up the Rubber just for you!

:beer:

cooking dude :beer:

there ae so many sites with good content, these days, how much can a koala bare?

man your a walking encarta, I'm looking you up for a coffee next time i'm in Sydney..;)

Forsure just drop me an email next time ur up here.

Heres a version a little bit worn for you!.

I could probably do alot more to it but the footys on.

lol


:beer:

dude, the goggles were perfect my freind I meant the very last picture of the helmet, the leather on that, the one from a distance (on the table) is great but the one up close (the last jpeg) is the one i was refering to. My friend, enjoy your footy, get back to tha TV and away from the computer for a while. I know you can do the deed mate, only if you agree that the leather needs to be freyed (how do you spell that word) because your doing other stuff now, don't go back over trodden ground for me, only if you think it needs it and doesn't interfer, BUT I appreciate your gesture, didn't go over me...:attn:

i dont know ..just always love watching your work ..not sure what to model ..I know me ..I like model creatures lol ...hence the dragon lol

man, I'm waiting, hows the model..?:beer:
