Wait, does that put it in the same format as Foundation? If it does, I might actually be able to figure out the tutorial! Ah ha, the power :maulsaber:

Lol theres an awesome video tutorial that I learned from...NOW i just need to learn how to frickin texture...

ok ... my fith modle.. i made it for tean... but i cnat texter so... im looking for some one to do that. And to make it a msh. Also does it need collison geometry

Lookin' really good man, sorry I haven't replied to any PMs on it, but I do follow this topic.

What is it supposed to be? A school? Thats what it looks like.

It seriously feels like Ive seen that somewhere before...

Looked kind of like the MIB building to me!

I think It might be for rep's "dynamic map" idea. It's in the general board. I should probably get to work on a building of my own.

Looks good btw!

ha.... good ideas guys ... but wrong again..its for his Bothawui map... im going to do a few others as well.. tall ones.. but not much in side probalbly... doing insides can be a pain. and i was thinking about getting a block on that dinamic map.

That's why the closest thing to an inside my house has is a cut-in ramp!

Well, I decided to try modelling again (by again I mean the last time I tried, I was nearly eaten by my own cube...) and here's my first, erm... model...



I know nothing special, it's a sort of hut/bunker/small building (the type people always say bf2 needs more of, and I agree). It may not even be the right size... as I do not know the scale of things in XSI (What was it... 3 feet per unit thingy?) I may have just made a fortress... but I guess that can be changed in the msh if needed... I know I need to reread the tuts on texturing, and until I get it figured out, most of my models will probably have pretty simple textures, so prepare for a lot of stone-work and clay from Blade!

Urgh, ImageShack hates me... I might just post a link to it... sorry.

Also, quick question. If I made like a big Spire-type-thing (basically a big cylinder), how would I make it hollow? I'm hoping this isn't too terribly hard... but, hey, I'll deal with it

As no one else has posted, I'll post my second model. This one, in my opinion, is loads better than my first. Again, I'm not sure if I scaled it right to fit perfectly in Battlefront 2.



And a wire-frame. (This was made completely with cubes and cylinders )



For those of you with no imagination what-so-ever ( ), it's a rather primitive castle, with four walls, four towers (No, not enterable, yet...), lots of little rampart barrier thingies, and a small keep with a door and a window. I know it's not much, I'm thinking about getting a different texture for it, though. It (the texture) looks a little bit too straight and uniform to me to be an ancient castle...

looks nice (especially the castle)

some of my last models with my first textures:
claws: doublebladed weapon of the royalguards (with my very first texture): Urai Fen's blades (from EAW:FOC with my fifth texture): backhandkatana: EC-grenades (with my fourth texture): Sonic-grenade(with my third texture): LCVP (WW2 landingboat with my second texture): the meeleweapons will be released this week alongside with the other katanas, so be prepared

Holy crap! Those are all really sweet, especially the placement of the claws
Superb job, Duck, kudos to you

ok... who can guess what gun this is... i blacked out the name at the top!

and its not yet finished so yay....

Gonna be the Scar-L, hooray, love that gun!
Was gonna make a Scar-H but decided not to in the end.

That looks good, just watch your polys.


Ok I need help:

I modeled this 2-3 years ago, and I'm pulling it out again for BF2. Is there any way I can make the skin better? I'm at a loss as to how. I did make it more saturated than the original. Please, any suggestions, I'll take.

(perhaps I should bake it to texture using this lighting? without the specular it looks like crap)

@Rep- Personally, I think a darker, less pastel-ish shade of green would be better for the parts that are, well, green . I personally think it would just look more sleek with a darker shade.

That looks like the hovercraft from Rends Coruscant City map. Is it?

Darker, less saturated would make it better.

@redgroupclan: Yes it's the same vehicle, only it's Rep's model

I would fix the engine... Looks black with multicolored dots.
