Haha, maybe when I actually work on it I will post it
Same goes for anything else non car-related that ain't finished <__<

[schaefft]

No car, but nice aswell. Highpoly model of the Heckler & Koch G36C assault rifle, ready for normalmap baking. Started the lowpolymesh today, still a loooong way to go. <.<

Use the attachment system, that crappy image hosting site gives some errors.

[schaefft]

K, used the attachment system, gimme some comments

[TomiL]

Nice details.
Interesting to see how the normalmapped low-poly version turns out!

I'm doing a Toyota Carina E for an rFactor project. screenie has Turbosmooth applied (nevermind the errors, i'm aware of them).
Also, a bridge for a 80's track i'm working on as well.

Lowpolymodel of the G36C, 5038 tris.

My try at the Mazda MX-5 Garage Vary/Omiya Satoshi

Hey sumpex,
nice to see that you are modeling again
The car looks very great for zmod1!

Well, hi everybody! I never post here before, but then... Here's my first scratch-made car, lowpoly '71 Stutz Blackhawk, gonna be in Mafia game soon (maybe). So, here's some screens:



11k triangles in total, all work shown completed in ZModeler for about a month (started it in September, 2008 for 3 weeks, then stopped, then now I'm back to work on it).

finally found some time to improve that normal map and mapping a bit. Its 1024x1024 atm, the final model will get a 2048x2048 map. Still some smoothing errors in it, maybe I can fix them in photoshop somehow.

Holydays start in 2 days, I hope I can finish the diffuse- spec- and ambientocclusion map in the next days, I hope those normal errors wont be that visible anymore then. Polycount is 5200, should be final.

Another random aircraft, this time an attack helo...

[schaefft]

Heres an update, a nice and clean G36C, right out of the factory. Atleast the plastic parts <.<

Still have to fix some spots of the AOmap, any crits are welcome!

Random shuttle type space craft and reusable winged booster I made...

Awesome G36c schaefft. That's my favourite rifle, esp. normal G36 with this big dual scope. Incredible model mate. Looking for more.

Venom and his imagination ;D

[schaefft]

Okay, I think Im done with it.

It was my first weapon ever modeled, the first complete highpoly model, my first normal/specular map ever created and the first time I created a texture completely from scratch. So, there are quite alot of first times in this model, I think its okay how it turned out. I learned alot throught the process of creating that model and Im glad I did it. Im sure I can use the stuff I have learned in my next projects, so it was kind of a big step for me.

Hope you like it.

hey schaefft great work,could explain the method used in this? im still wondering how you make a map from high poly mesh then map it to low poly.

also what program did you use to make your specular and normal maps..

[schaefft]

The normalmap is rendered in max, you use the same render to texture window like when you render an AO map. 3dsmax gets all the normal data from your unmapped highpoly mesh and bakes it on the UVmap of your lowpoly mesh. The specmap was created by using the diffuse map and changing contrast/brightness, Im sure theres a much better way but it worked good for those materials. Both are made in Photoshop.

Its my first normal/specmap, Im sure there are some better ways to get good results, but Im still a noob.
