Flying Droid ion Silo 2

 

Export to Blender for adding detail meshes, cables.

Blocking basic colors

I needed to make one for prorotyping droids AI that will fire at you, so i took some character and some other weapon from LT3D for testing purpose (because all is mainly ripped from games)

 

Blender is so cool and fast for characters :

- Auto Rig

- Attach weapon to bone

- Copy and symmetry a pose of animation

- IK to quickly make smooth animations.

It really worth learning it.

Beginning assets

This project of yours is coming togeather, look forward to seeing a small game demo with all this content.

[YouGroove]

Thanks Josk,

We'll see if this project will lead to something ? for the demo it will be a polished demo instead of some bad looking prototype.

Sketching ideas for the spider droid

 

 

Some features :

- detect the player from bigger distances

- fast movement

- hard to target : don't stay a lot in line of fire

- Come out from traps on floor or walls and can use them to hide again and recover some shield or auto repair some amount.

Sometimes i feel game dev is just

 

[YouGroove]

Sketching another mob: cibernetic dog , but i must pick up a general style :

 

1 ) Hard and sharp edges mechanics

 

2) more rounded forms

 

3) Synthetic

...online game im working on, is based on similar concepts (no human except main player)..interesting models you have..how fast you can model+texture??

Cool , this changes from zombie games

[YouGroove]

Sketching ideas (made easy with 3D Coat voxels)

[YouGroove]

Synthetic style is cool and 3D Coat make it easy

[Josh]

Reminds me of this guy:

[YouGroove]

It's taking shape (middle body of the dog is synthetic, like rubber envelopping mechanics and wires inside , a part that can bend easy)

Done with the cyberg dog

 

I found i have a challenger making same game style

[YouGroove]

Low poly version with normal map only.

 

 

 

Tail and weapon that will be modeled separatly instead of sculpted (textures have a space for them)

[YouGroove]

Ahhh the fun part : painting

 

 

 

 

I keep metal very clean, no erosion or dirt, it's more because droids are maintained and washed/painted regulary.

[gamecreator]

The texture adds so much to it. I'm out of likes but consider it liked. How many triangles is the low poly version?

[shadmar]

Great work YG

[YouGroove]

How many triangles is the low poly version?

3536 faces - 6130 Triangles , it's not low poly , just standard polycount for current gen games.

There is lot of unecessary faces that can be optimized, specially in small zones like foot or others not very visible by the player.

Otherwise if you use LOD in game and manage gameplay to have a maximum of 5 such models it should be ok.

 

 

Great work YG

Thanks Shadmar, PBR works great for metal based models, i'll try the metal shader i made in LE3 to see if i can have similar reflective results.

[YouGroove]

Sketching ideas for the player model, a more futurist look or nanosuit like will be more appropriated.

..actually he (YouGroove) seems to be rather interesting fella from art point of view, after exchanging few pm's..i think we will do some work together ..im wondering how many guys here actually, are same just maybe shy to do any exposure..

[gamecreator]

im wondering how many guys here actually, are same just maybe shy to do any exposure..

Same. As a growing community, I bet we have a ton of talent just waiting to be used!

LE3 is getting better and better each time as many missing things has been added throught time like animation names, encrypted publishing, physic shapes import, now water is coming and the best is yet to come

So there is already many 3D art skilled people using LE3 from long time , and i think we will see more and more talented people coming and using LE3, some with publishing a game as goal also.
