Title: Vasudan Rough Model
Post by: Krallis on December 29, 2009, 11:37:50 am: Not quite sure where to put this as its not strictly a freespace mod.

Ive created a rough basemodel for a vasudan.

I wanted the community on here to take a look at it to see areas where it could be improved.

It is just for rough shape/scale. Its not been smoothed and no, it doenst have a head.

If you want to model a Vasudan, though, you might want to start with this package. (http://web.njit.edu/~pjo3/vasudan.zip)

This is just my base model for smoothing and adding detail to.

It is going to look about a million times better than this.

There's an art section, but this board's just fine. :)

Still needs A LOT of work, but that's definately coming along!

What program are you using, by the way?

Post by: Krallis on December 30, 2009, 02:13:16 pm: Z Brush

Its expensive though, im using the trial version, but im getting the full one soon.

What areas would you suggest for improvement, this is only my third model using this software so I could really use some input.

The head in general needs much better shaping. Unless you're crossing a Vasudan with a fly in some sort of terrible teleporter accident... :lol:

Post by: Krallis on December 30, 2009, 02:23:14 pm: Well, I know the head needs to be improved but i just wanted to get a better shape than an oval (which is what it was before)

What's Silo...?

Post by: Galemp on December 30, 2009, 03:22:43 pm: Well the hips look good, but the torso and head are way out of whack. You do have plenty of reference material, right?

THIS is Silo:

I encourage you to browse through the site. The program looks very impressive, though I've yet to try it. Actually, the download is still sitting on my desktop...

Post by: Androgeos Exeunt on December 31, 2009, 04:49:51 am: ZBrush is good if you know how to use it. I'm currently learning through school.
