Saibot's Models

Saibot · Post by **Saibot** » Wed Aug 03, 2005 3:50 am

I am posting this for your opinions. It is my first actual attempt at modeling. Any input would be great.

Good job.

it looks like a gavel, not sunder

Very nice.

It does remind me of the Sunder a little. Even though they look nothing alike. Don't ask me why because I don't why.

Dexter · Post by **Dexter** » Wed Aug 03, 2005 5:36 am

Any resemblance to Sunder that I see is that they are both hammers. The similarities end there.
I like it a lot. It could be used as a variation iron warhammer, perhaps renamed as an iron maul. I love the design though, perfect for skull-bashing, a favorite hobby of my characters.

Seriously, Saibot, it will be great to have a new modeller here. I assume you are using milkshape, right?

Saibot · Post by **Saibot** » Wed Aug 03, 2005 6:01 am

Yes, I just got it a couple days ago and this was the first time I made something other than a box. I still need a lot of practice.

PS.
Yes I know there's a button to make boxes, but I thought if I could make one from scratch it would be a good way to learn.

Saibot · Post by **Saibot** » Wed Aug 03, 2005 10:20 am

Here's a new one. I'ts not as good as the first, i'ts the blunt weapon version of a halberd. I'ts very slow, but devastating.

Opinions?

Hermit · Post by **Hermit** » Wed Aug 03, 2005 12:06 pm

Personally, I love the first one (can we make a fat, ugly Ogrim-style daedra carrying a daedric version of this? I've always felt the game lacks maul-swinging ogre-ish creatures ...), but am unsure about the second one, it looks as though the handle is just shoved through the hammer piece.

Can you attach a small ring of metal or something to both ends where the pole protudes from the hammerhead? That would make it look a lot more balanced, I think.

Saibot · Post by **Saibot** » Wed Aug 03, 2005 12:08 pm

yeah sure, this is exactly the kind of reply I was hoping for. Anything to make it better.

Here's the new version.

Awesome! Of course the pain in the arse will be in the texturing. PM me if you need any help with that. :)

Graff · Post by **Graff** » Wed Aug 03, 2005 1:34 pm

There's texture maps that you can export, aren't they? If so, I'd like a shot at texturing these.

Vernon · Post by **Vernon** » Wed Aug 03, 2005 1:39 pm

Well there is something called a UV unwrap, which is also known as a skin, and you could texture the whole weapon with that. Otherwise, you can just use simple UV mapping, which would require you to make separate textures for the handle, head, decorations, etc. Saibot just has to choose which he is going to use. Though I am unsure of whether you can do unwraps in Milkshape. Morden would know.

Morden · Post by **Morden** » Wed Aug 03, 2005 1:59 pm

I used a separate program called LithUnwrap when i was working in Milkshape. It worked great.. although i think i eventually figured out how to do it right in Milkshape itself.. when i got an updated version of the software.

Hermit · Post by **Hermit** » Wed Aug 03, 2005 3:44 pm

Awesome, Saibot. It looks great now.

Saibot · Post by **Saibot** » Wed Aug 03, 2005 10:10 pm

Just so everyone knows, I have no idea how to texture these.

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Wed Aug 03, 2005 10:13 pm

i never saw sunder, or any pictures of it. i was just guessing

Saibot · Post by **Saibot** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 4:04 am

This isn't a hammer but I didn't want to start a new thread.

ooooooooooooo pointy! You are making some very nice models.

Silvone Elestahr · Post by **Silvone Elestahr** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 4:15 am

If you've never seen Sunder ingame or otherwise, how could you even guess that his hammer resembles it? Personally, I doubt that you've never seen Sunder. But I don't really care either way. Just don't post useless comments in constructive threads. Sorry if I sound overly mean here, but I think others will agree with me. It sounds like your trying to raise your post count.

Saibot · Post by **Saibot** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 5:34 am

I have run thin on ideas, and have far too much free time. So if anyone has any suggestions...

Vernon · Post by **Vernon** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 5:51 am

OK...

You could try modelling things from [url=http://tamriel-rebuilt.org/old_forum/viewtopic.php?t=6315]this[/url] or [url=http://tamriel-rebuilt.org/old_forum/viewtopic.php?t=1768]this[/url] list if you like. Some of them have been in previous games or artwork, so we may know what they look like. They just need to be modelled now. And I googled some tutorials for you. There is a texturing tutorial on [url=http://www.planetquake.com/polycount/cottages/blackboard/tutorials.htm]this[/url]page.

Saibot · Post by **Saibot** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 5:58 am

Ok, thanks Vernon. All this will help.

Saibot · Post by **Saibot** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 9:19 am

After seeing the tutorial it was easy. I textured the first hammer two different ways(so far), here they are.

and the second.

Comments? Suggestions? Ridicule?

Vernon · Post by **Vernon** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 12:33 pm

I can't believe you just started modelling! Looks great, but the texture needs fixing on the second one. Well done, man.

Saibot · Post by **Saibot** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 7:08 pm

The texture aren't very good. I just used bethesda's textures cause I suck with photoshop.

der gottlose · Post by **der gottlose** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 8:08 pm

Well, you probably used to say you suck at modeling. Look what you've done! They're amazing, especially that sword. I love it.

Anyway, I suggest, if you haven't already, give Photoshop a try. It's pretty easy, once you know what you're doing.

Saibot · Post by **Saibot** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 8:50 pm

What is this for?

Vernon · Post by **Vernon** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 9:18 pm

Is that from your model? Because that appears to be what I was referring to earlier; a UV unwrap. You can put the texture on that map in photoshop and then apply it to the model.

Saibot · Post by **Saibot** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 9:24 pm

Yes it is from my model, its from LithUnwrap that Morden mentioned. I just didn't know what it was for.

Saibot · Post by **Saibot** » Sun Aug 07, 2005 8:18 am

here's my new hammer.

Smashing!

How about a silver warhammer? always thought we needed one anyways!

Saibot · Post by **Saibot** » Sun Aug 21, 2005 8:33 am

What would a silver warhammer look like?

Jacurutu · Post by **Jacurutu** » Sun Aug 21, 2005 8:50 am

Probably an iron or steel shaft with a shiny silver smasher at the end. The entire thing would probably not be silver because silver is pretty malleable and would bend and break.

Stalker · Post by **Stalker** » Sun Aug 21, 2005 9:02 am

While you're at it Carpenter's Axe will be really useful.

Saibot · Post by **Saibot** » Sun Aug 21, 2005 9:10 am

@Jacurutu, Thanks that should prove useful.

@Stalker, ok I'll do that too.

I think it would save me a great deal of time if I could get some description of what these models should look like.

Dres · Post by **Dres** » Mon Aug 22, 2005 6:47 pm

i could try to make a texture for yur hammer if yu want but i cant test it so yull have to test it :P

Saibot · Post by **Saibot** » Mon Aug 22, 2005 6:50 pm

Sure thing, go right ahead.
