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...

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.

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!!! user added image

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.

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 ... user added image
