also known as the "i can do detailed if you want me to"...

but said portfolio item has a -5 impression factor on game makers...

when making a model for a game, if they wanted HIGH poly, they would just higher any old nub... if they wanted something that looked that good, and be 100 poly, they would hire somone with REAL skill.... </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'>
He said its for his 3-D class, what makes you assume its for a game job?
I've already watched several people I know get jobs with 800,000 poly charecters, and other excesively detailed models in thier portfolios, in both games and movies.

From my experience Companies seem to apreciate that kind of attention to detail. Mostly they need to see versatility in your feild. For it to look that good at low polies would need a texture to fake the detail. From what Ive seen, many companies could give a damn that you can texture <i>and</i> model. In fact some game companies even advise that your better off only exposing the skills nescesary for the position...

The modeling is clean, and its pretty obvious he hasent faked any detail. Afaict, very few if any polies can be trimmed out and keep that level of detail...Damn fine job I'd say, nothing more to say really.

...at least critique the work directly.

That model is deh win. O_O
What about for CGI Movies, where polies are not an issue? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

MrMojo · October 2003

Wowza. That's amazing.

Moquiao · October 2003

del makes a VERY good point.. it is simply jaw dropping and i even emailed the link to everyone i know....

but the point is... you want models which look that good.. with many many thousands fewer poly's....

but yeah...

jaw dropping.

Deronok · October 2003

Holy crap dude, at first I thought that was WITH a skin.

Jim · October 2003

I really don't think you guys should be judging deph on just this model <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'> he can do lowpoly too <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Legionnaired · October 2003

And guys, remember, he definately didn't do that in milkshape.

All those wires and springs and stuff can be done in seconds in Rhino 3D.

Dephcon · October 2003

uhh...hi

i just heard that someone what showing off my stuff so i thought i'd drop by. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'>

first i'd just liek to say that yes, this model is about 8200 polys more then any respectible game modeler would use, but this was never intended for use in any sort of video game what so ever. it's basically something i've been working on for about a month on and off for a school project. so dont go dissing my skill and lack of "REAL skill" as you have probably never seen any of my low poly work.

although the model wasn't really set up properly, which is why i dont care much for other people showcasing my work =\

*edit*

renegade, you really need to cut back on the cylinder sides dude. reallocate some polys into the rest of the gun. 12 sides max for low poly stuff <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

coil · October 2003

Deph, not insulting your work, and certainly not insulting your skills. I was more trying to educate the rest of the forum who might not be familiar with the age-old "war" between low- and high-poly modeling. (:

It's a beautiful weapon, no doubt.

[edit] Oh, and bonus points for *not* including a LAM. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'> [/edit]

pardzh · October 2003

Regardless of whether or not this is a good model for a game, it's top friggin notch.

Don't try to knock this down a peg just because it can't be used in any game engines right now.

CplDavis · October 2003

aawsoem.. so much in fact that I cant spell the word right.

ParisofTroy · October 2003

Okay, 90k polies? if you want to run that, ur gonna need that 8grand comp from the other thread ;-)

well actually it has a flashlight on the otherside <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>

and its only like 60k polys without the springs <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'>

Diablus · October 2003

i dare someone to try it in CS or a HL game it will prob crash and burn HL causing a spark to the comp HD then blowing that up, which sends a signal to your monitor which overlds and blows up kiling you and leaving your house in a pile of dust

Quaunaut · October 2003

The true skill of a modeler, is how much detail he can pack into not that many polies.

esuna · October 2003

Wow, dispite my general lack of interest in "real world gun models", that is an amazing piece of work. Kudos to you, Dephcon.

Zig · October 2003

i like it, i like it a lot, but i'm disappointed that the modeler could give such detail to the bipod and not even put the holes in the flash hider..

nightdragon · October 2003

Peh, feh, meh. Theyra not even worth it. My catchphrases and any word in any language cannot describe the "AWSOMENESS" of that model

That is such a cliche'
Im not saying there isnt any truth to it...but if you need <i>that</i> level of detail for a project, that little cliche isnt gonna matter to your employers. Most "detail" models for movies have unlimited polycounts.

That gun could be for a close up or flyby in an intro for a game, it could be rotating in the background of a menu and so on. Maybe its a giant gun you can climb on...It could be for close ups in movies...and so on

Look at the razors in those gillette mach 3 commercials. those are like 50k friggin razors! There are numerous reasons you would need that level of detail, and anytime you model springs your looking at a good 10k.

....

are you f***ing serious? the flash hider is necessary, you fool. you don't need the SCREWS that HOLD the IRet scope in place, but you DO need the holes in the damn thing... admit it, the clods forgot it.

nightdragon · October 2003

Eeeer, were u talkin to me with that??

Zig · October 2003

yessir. whoever did it is a very good modeler, but a bit forgetful with somewhat important parts.

Max · October 2003

More and more games are using high polygon models to generate normals maps (HL2 included) which are then applied to low polygon models, so a mesh like this can be useful for the current generation of engines.

Just thought I'd play the devil's advocate.

*has an awsoma model seizure. the effects are : falling, flickering eyelids, crosseyes, random movements of the hands and legs, uncontrollable breathing, drooling white liquids, swallowing of tounge, and sometimes temperature goes over 150*F making the mind expload.*

ShootBang · October 2003

I've never seen a more awesome gun model
