Best model you ever made: Competition
on: May 25, 2005, 08:47:57 am
Ok, we already had the "ugliest model in the universe" competition (wich didn´t end very well), how about making the opposite? Instead of posting ugly things that no one cares about and is only used to bash their designers, how about we each post the model (or models) that we consider to be our finest work?
It might even help people remembering stuff long forgotten, and new guys get a heads-up of what this community has done in modelling.
Post 2 of your best work, textured or not (non textured is good to see the fine details of the model, that textures tend to hide, but textured is also good to see the work done in that field aswell), in-game or not, it´s your choice.

I open with the model i got the most satisfaction making. A
massive non-textured battle tank, equipped with a giant howitzer cannon:





And my second choice is the Blackbird fighter:




So, post away!!
:)

PS: ORIGINALS ONLY, NO REMAKES.

More than 2 and you fill a whole page with one guy´s work. Too much. Just 2 is best.

@Topace

Ah, common, don´t tell me you are saving them for your eyes only?! Let´s see it. You don´t have to post if you don´t want to, but it would be nice if you did.
Obviouslly, models that belong to a certain mod that hasn´t been released and you wish to keep it a secret doesn´t count. I have a couple myself. Post stuff you can have released to the public.

Well, fighter-models wise, the best I can offer is the Idun (although its not my absolute favourite)

My pet favourite, and currently WIP, is of course, the Triest. All the turrets are currently being re-worked, but I'll post what I have so far.

This is the basic hull itself, without any turrets.

Very, very impressive. The only thing you could improve is the texture. It looks a bit monotonous. (But on a high level. ;7 )

Mesh-wise, I consider the Battlestar Galactica to be my current baby despite the fact that its still a WIP.

Texture-wise I think the Viper MKVII is my personal best.

Still not finished, and it's unlikely to get finished, as I can't figure out how to texture things in Max. It also needs more details - there are a few nice greeble-ish bits on there (three observation decks/bridges, and a bit of superstructure detail here and there) but it took me so long to get this far, and I'm working on a Vasudan strike frigate/light destroyer thingy at the moment. I may get back to it when I know how to texture...

If anyone's interested in seeing more of this, there's a thread on it somewhere. Search for "Iron Duke"...

EDIT: Good grief, that's an awful picture. It looks like it's made of plasticine... :ick: Oh well....

It is not so nice that I would want to post it. It would hurt your eyes. :p

Does my BSG post count? I missed the part where the model should be "original" in design.

Well this is not a current work. This was my first fighter model built in '98 and its still my favorite original design.

EDIT; incidentally, do you have any idea how long it took to add the scratches... per pixel, across the entire model by hand... to this - and you can't even see them unless you squint ingame!

Oh, and I know about the problem with the bomb-bay.
