Competition #10 - aegix

[aegix]

Starting a bit late but I think I can finish in time.

I decided to go in a different direction to most entries... everyone seems to be making pickups for FPS games so they're already constrained to some degree by scale. I'm going for the RTS pickup: an airdropped supply crate



Progress so far:



Just the first pass of the high poly... trying to get a convincing cloth look going but I'm not sure how well it's working out o_O I've never done cloth before. All the netting and stuff will come once I've got the rest worked out. The parachute is going to be tricky.

[aegix]

Oh damn... it says "geared towards an FPS" in the rules :P It can just be for a greedy soldier then I guess. I know you can drop supplies in Battlefield 2. If an admin thinks I'm breaking the rules, let me know.

That's one big pick-up. I'm not sure if it will work for this come... there is another big pick-up in here... so maybe. But I suggest going with something else. If you want to be original don't go with big... try a different approach

[aegix]

So is it allowed? Can I get a Yes/No answer? If it's not I'll continue it in the WIP forum... having too much fun with it to give it up now

[requiem2d]

It is ammo afterall, if it were for some mech game they'd definitely not be picking up rifle mags. It's a risk with the judges but have fun with it, good start

[aegix]

A bit more to do on the netting... quite pleased with how it's coming along.

[StefanH]

I'm also quite pleased. this is looking fine man

[aegix]

Been busy the last few days, not a lot of time to work on it



Strapping done, trying to figure out how I'm going to do the low poly and the parachute.
