Model Battle #0: Combine [Ended]

[cypher543]

think it looks too much like razor train

That's most likely the point... the razor train is Combine technology, and so is the boat. It seems only logical that they would have the same basic design.

[Mephasto]

think halflife should have human sized tough agile unit what would be miniboss like encountter, well theres that ministrider, but im sure you could imagine something new.

(btw sorry my sucky english)

would anyone have a problem with me entering battles?

It kinda defeats the point if it isnt open to everybody. I may yet enter, but I'm a bit strapped for time at the moment so don't be disappointed if you don't see me enter.

I'm allready dissapointed! I would love to see some of you'r work for the combine

[Jman]

I was going to join but I couldn't think of anything that would be good enough. The combine have already made everything that's big and cool. =(

So here´s my final. Unfortunately i have absolutely no time at the moment, so i wasn´t able continue the diffuse nor implement a reflection map or even set up a decent ingame shot. I will have to continue on this thing in a week or so.

[Sorrow]

Not much time left... anxious to see what you've got.

The original is 2048. I just downsized it for the contest.

[MrTwoVideoCards]

And damn it Cardboard, can't you make something low polly for a change so I have a chance of winning. *shakes fist in Cardboards direction*

This is relatively low poly. I´m at about 3700 at the moment and there are loads of superfluous polys ready to get eliminated by the optimization process.


Ok, last one for today. I introduced some asymmetry but i almost think it might be too much. The combine asymmetry seems to be there but in a very small dose.
Also i´m not sure about the right side of the ship (the one in the second image).

And I still don´t understand what i´m supposed to do with the floats.

In the third picture you can see where the water line is going to be.

Wow that's nice.

Right, I'm gonna give cardboard a challenger, if no-one else will No reference, no sketch, no planning, just pure speed modelling. Let's see how I do, considering I'm working all day tomorrow
