Mendelevium's Custom Models 2

[Mendelevium]

I some how accidentally deleted my original thread while trying to edit, gee do I feel smart. Well as the name implies I am going to be posting my custom 3D content in this thread. I am one of those weirdos who loves constructive criticism, so don't worry about my feelings, tear my models apart, I want to get better!

Well I will start with one relevant to FF7, here is my schpeel on Aeris/th's Umbrella:


A mess up on Aeris/th's first staff:


Another staff thing:


A big sword:


A WIP of a rifle:


Part 2 of that rifle:


Now, any criticisms? :3.

Thanks,
Mendelevium

[jeffdamann]

I really liked another staff thing and the rifles. It seems if you stuck the stock from rifle 1 onto 2 it would look great.

[Mendelevium]

Thanks. .
On the second rifle, I am going to completely remake the stock later, to match the reference I am using a bit more.


I gotta make that bolt... slide thingie @.@.

Of course it is the first one you find in google images. .

But yeah. The rifles got the most love. ^.^.

I'm really interested to see Vincent's guns. Maybe make one gun look like cerberus??

[Mendelevium]

I made a bridge:









EDIT:

Again Another Sword:

I'm now having flashbacks from when I used to go to /v/

Something I might donate to Team Avalanche if it turns out well:

The guard has potential.

When you split it up into the different sections, try to make the coat 'tail' not clip with the running animations.

So far, I'm a little impressed with how good it looks, let's see if you can follow it up when you're getting closer to completion.

I was actually wondering how I was going to go about doing that. XD. And it's already all split up..  The parts are just pushed together to make it look like one model. .
And the guard is my first "to detail" humanoid. I made a first draft of it ages ago... And it was crappy. :p.

Another model I made.. I even made a simple design and sketch for it... My first Katana:





I don't know if I like the "completely" straight model... or the one that gets slightly more narrow as the blade goes down.

[nikfrozty]

It looks good man. I think it will look much better if its slightly curved since it looks like more of a female ninja's sword(ayame's weapon from tenchu looks like that).

[Mendelevium]

My sucky attempt at the Shinra red guard. Now to tackle the head. @.@. And fix the hands... Maybe.

[The Seer of Shadows]

You know, the bridge could be modified into sword.  You could stick a load of vinyls and stuff on it when texturizing.  Would make an epic weapon.

The Ultima Blade from FFXII is an example of what I'm thinking of.



Just an idea.  You could decorate it as a bridge as well.  I don't know what you intend to do with these models, whether or not you'll even texturize them, or indeed if you even do texturizing.

I am focusing first on learning the in and outs of the program I am using, and overall 3D in general. Before I tackle UV mapping and then texturing. I do intend to learn though. I plan on making my own game one day, purely as a hobby. . But yeah, that bridge is a bridge, I don't feel like touching it anytime soon... That thing will be painful to texture. @.@.

And...I never beat FFXII. . So that is my first time seeing the  Ultimate weapon. It seems rather flashy...o.O

Edit:

A New sword, I designed this one myself :3 :

[jeffdamann]

I love that mechanism/hilt design

[Timu Sumisu]

nice sword and progress on the guard.

@ sword, interesting gear thingy, it doenst seem to serve much function, but its nicely shaped.

@ guard, look at the original model, and try to maintain the silhouette as best possible. Keep it up!

[Mendelevium]

I am going to remake it me thinks, I am complete unsatisfied with my Red Shinra guard. This time I am going to go with a ground up apparoach.
Here is the start (they aren't done, just base shape, still need to smooth out, add more detail, and tweak.)



Edit:



Edit2:
Random Sword:


I am thinking about cutting the guard horizontally through the middle... I don't know yet

[Timu Sumisu]

nice sword.

[nikfrozty]

Maybe you should make your custom sword models for Cloud?? I can see they're pretty nice.

[Kudistos Megistos]

There are about a hundred different custom sword models for Cloud already.

Effort should be concentrated on models which haven't been done yet.

[The Seer of Shadows]

Perhaps a model of Konata, done from scratch, for importation into FF7.  Would that be to your liking?

Well he have already done some swords and it would be a waste if he wouldn't share it if he wants to.

That's a great idea!



Or how about a model of Miyuki to replace Aeris?
