chris89's highs and lows

[chris89]

Hello world.
Back in the days i promised i'd start a sketchbook thread as well. Since the internet finally works again here i can finally start one

Not that i have anything to show though... nothing...

Well maybe a little thing, just a little pod drone thing i'm working on at the moment. Low poly.

I don't know what it is, but I like it!

[chris89]

Ha thanks Glynn.
Gee yeah what could it be, i guess it could be some kind of security pod. Or some messenger, or.. yeah i just kinda liked the shape i saw somewhere and decided to make something around it.
I wish i could explain this thing a bit more though, would help a lot for the texture.

Ow yeah, here is the texture so far btw flat shaded:



Just the bases, still need some scratches and edgework, and of course the specular will give the materials their definition.
If you've got any ideas or critics(!) please don't hesitate to share them with me.

There seem to be some smoothing errors on it.
Also your texture is not appearing

[chris89]

duly noted and fixed. Thanks.

I like where this is going. solid base, not much to crit on imo. I'm not sure if you are planning to, but i'd add some glowing parts as well. Even if it was just a LED light or something like that. It would spice things up a bit...

[glynnsmith]

It somewhat reminds me of Boba Fett's ship

Thanks for the comment man.
I was still doubting about any leds, but you changed my mind i'll see where i can put them in.

And yeah, if you cut it up a bit it does look like boba fett's shit. (*uh, ship..)
Could become difficult to make it look not like it, but i'll see what i can do.

*Useless nerd-dom doth ensue*

You should keep that one, so you can attach it to a futuristic motorcycle or hover-craft.

Can't wait for the other maps.

[chris89]

haha a monocyle or actuall ship cool ideas.
I'd need to scale things up by 20x then though haha.

anyway, i will work on it some more tonight, still doubting between a normal look and an old weathered rusty look.
