Ok well...I'm gonna try and participate here...workin on a good idea, since most of the good ones are taken. Thanks to taking too long to decide to join. But updates soon hopefully.

Ok heres my first update, done modeling...gonna texture it now.



Hopefully I can get some nice comments/crits on this!

OMG thats the best blue box I've ever seen : / j/k
Looks..... well constructed. I have to see some texture action though.

It is a very simple crate. You can make a lot of different things with something like this with the texture. The modeling is good... the texture is the one we're waiting to comment on

Hehe I was just kidding about that box....heres my real wip. I am not sure how this is going to turn out....having my doubts right now. But I will see how the normal map turns out. Keep your fingers crossed.

What my idea was, is to have some poor little guys boxed up...and they are trying to escape....very strong creatures, able to push metal out like it was fabric!.....ok well, its the only idea I could come up with that was remotely unique.

If I dont get this accomplished I learned one thing, and that is I have some sort of organic ability...so it will end up being good practice

Heres the high res...working on low res. Gonna put more detail into it....just gotta figure out what I really want it to be like.

Haha, that's looking great, dude.

Awesome idea

[mainframe]

That is pretty awesome man. Maybe beef up the character inside the box with some razor claws or a vicious beast trying to escape .... To bad there is a tri limit aye

I like where you are going with this one.
The only crits I can thing of at the moment is maybe to add some more, less dominating imprints from the creatures hands and feet hitting against the metal. Make it look like the box really took a beating before it got to the stage you are currently at.

thanks guys...not feeling to confident right now.Getting kind of frustrated cuz I thought I could do better... I'm starting to think I might of taken on a bit to big of a task for my knowledge of normal maps and setting them up.

I am going to plug through this one...and hope for the best. This is still fairly wip...gotta add more details. But either way I will see how far I can get with this....and hope I learn a crapful of stuff.

loving the idea
only thing that bothers me is that the pose of the character inside the box is not a convincible "help me i'm missing dinner" pose, if you know what i mean.
