[Butz]

Hi.
My first post here, also my first challenge.
Blocking out:

[Butz]

A bit of an update
Will be finishing it up for Mudbox tomorrow.

[DArk_Erebus]

cool keep going!

[Butz]

Need to finish all the rivets and a wee bit of re proportioning in mud plus all the fine details.
Here's where i'm at.

[Mist]

not bad. I'm not sure about the layered padding though, it looks like an armoured armadillo.

[MeintevdS]

hehe, the armoured armadillo made me smile , but yes I agree.
Also I'd move the legs on the back, they stick out to much at the moment. It would be 1 of those spots everybody would trip over if you had this chair in your living room

Good job so far.

[Butz]

Well my monitor died so i was unable to to alot.
But managed to somewhat finish it.

Bare in mind its my second finished asset.
I redid some stuff in zbrush. Baking it was a pain in the ass. Really pissed me off.
Textured it a bit .
Here is the result.




and textures.

[Butz]

Didn't make the deadline
Timezones ...
Anyway, it was a great experience and i'm quite happy with the way it turned out, being my second asset and all (my first was a nasty looking barrel i made a week ago )
Thank you all for the c&c.
I will see you in the next challenge.

P.S. i know the buttons are way to bright

Hi Butz,

Really pitty that you didn't make the deadline it time, your entry definitely has potential, but I hope you understand we have to draw the line somewhere, especially when there's a prize involved

The texturing looks pretty solid imo, nice material definition (appart from the landing-strip like buttons ). The wire does look very chaotic though, i'd guess that you used the lowest sculpt level as your base? It's not a bad thing persea, but you probably should've cleaned some bits up.

But all together, a very nice piece

Of course i understand, and it's the way it should be. A deadline is a deadline.
The thing is that when i log out, i see gmt-7 , and when i log in i see gmt+3 as the local time. So i didn't really know which was the right one.

I'm still learning on how to do a proper low poly. I used the high poly and removed loops and edges to get to the low poly, and the high poly had a pretty bad topology so it kinda got transfered to the low poly. I'll try to retopo for next time.

I'll fix those buttons and call it a day.

Thanks for the crits. It really helps.
