Ruak Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 (edited) im still lurking. though i thought i would let you see it. i will maybe finish it tomorow. "maybe" colors off on the head. i was playing with a green blue. that pick looks too blue. makes me think i will go to gray again. Edited January 7, 2004 by Ruak Quote
Ruak Posted January 7, 2004 Author Posted January 7, 2004 (edited) hmm they are looking kinda dark. oh well. models 2k in polies. a few of you knew i had it from way back. just doing the texture now. hes riged. eyes. eye lids fingers lips and face. well one side of the face. he really doesnt have a whole face per say. ps. this is the superman pic... should have left the back ground black. though i do think superman wouldnt stand a chance against britai.

Lestat Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 That looks awesome, great to see you finishing it. Keep up the work. Quote
Ruak Posted January 7, 2004 Author Posted January 7, 2004 ok retouched the skin color. i was really starting to get irritated it was looking blue. Quote
Ruak Posted January 7, 2004 Author Posted January 7, 2004 i did this pic over a year ago for my color comp. as you can see im a little slow. im keeping the reds out of the face and body. that would be done in level lights. Quote
Ruak Posted January 7, 2004 Author Posted January 7, 2004 changed the lambert amd phong colors. Quote
Ruak Posted January 7, 2004 Author Posted January 7, 2004 (edited) did a size comparison shot. useing my low LOD 1J and low LOD pod. i didnt load the texture in as they are on another cd somewhere. thanks to lestat and windjammer for help getting the sizes right. i have to say. i would still date millia even with the size diffrence... *sigh* millia is too short im told. i fixed it. (cause she is) but im done posting for today. Edited January 7, 2004 by Ruak Quote
Aurel Tristen Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 Hey, that looks really good. : ) Great job. Quote
EXO Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 Hey Ruak... Nice to see you back. Looking awesome. The size reference is cool. It gives you better understanding of the scale of Macross stuff. Somehow the comparison art were never really enough. Hope to see more soon. Quote
mbs357 Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 Great models there man. Good to see you around again too. I didn't know Bretai and VF-1's were that much bigger in relation to normal Zentran/Meltran. Quote
Doktor Gonzo Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 Ruakar, Great to see you back! Man, I wanna play this mod NOW.... Quote
Kin Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 WOW! It looks cool man. Which program do you use? Lightwave? Quote
SuperOstrich Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 Hey Ruak, long time no see. Britai is looking great, please keep us up to date on him. Kin: In case Ruak doesn't come back for awhile, he works in Maya. Quote
Ruak Posted January 8, 2004 Author Posted January 8, 2004 yep maya. i worked for newtek when i was little. and learned lightwave there. used it for many years. then was converted to maya after working on the Matrix mmp. there was some soft and max use in there too. but mostly these models are maya binary format. ok just got in. quickly did the "skirt" i use that term carefully... thought i would share. also retouched his eye texture and made his ear a bit more pointy. on the dvd they seem elf like so if your curious almost all of my refrence comes from the DYRL dvd. tonight i plan on finishing the "skirt" use that term carefully... and the arms. i hate doing cloth. so ill get it out of the way first. then if i have time maybe do the face plate. the one on his head now was a stage 2 place holder. i need to paint in the metal veins you see in the dvd and add specularity to my painting. will ad a specular map later as im not sure what engine i will use anymore im not going to worry about the special effects untill i get to that point. (i should add it will most likely be jupiter or some version of unreal... i know them the most) Quote
Ruak Posted January 8, 2004 Author Posted January 8, 2004 the skirt. hmm maybe ill just call it a coat or long coat.. Quote
Ruak Posted January 8, 2004 Author Posted January 8, 2004 ack... bad ruak!!! mods.. i will punish myself... i promise. Quote
yellowlightman Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 Kickass model Ruak, it's nice to see a 3D model of soemthing other than a VF-1 around here. You're really talented, wish you'd post more stuff. Quote
Ruak Posted January 8, 2004 Author Posted January 8, 2004 hmm... i have tones i have posted. im sure you guys dont want to see it all again. and as for valks... um. i have done my share... Quote
Lestat Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 Looking sweet now... damn I love your low poly valk... I love it so much... It's perfect... Quote

mbs357 Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 That's a great looking low poly. D= By the way, you mentioned a while back about a Tron2.0 mod...what's the progress on that? Still planning...or has it been scrapped? Quote
Ruak Posted January 8, 2004 Author Posted January 8, 2004 (edited) still planing it. i was going to use jupiter. thats the lithtech engine. the one used on tron. well didnt do much last night. i finally took a picture of how much i did to though. here it is. the chest plate was rushed. ill redo the highlights tonight. and maybe the lower arms. oh and retouched the face for the 7th time.... im never satisifed... ever.... Edited January 8, 2004 by Ruak Quote
mbs357 Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 (edited) Good to hear, too many good sounding Macross mods go under. XD That's definatly a great Bretai model, man. I think he looks more like Rykov than Superman...but that's just me and my love/addiction of AvP2 talking. =p Edited January 8, 2004 by mbs357 Quote
Ruak Posted January 8, 2004 Author Posted January 8, 2004 (edited) haha... rykov... here is a texture of rykov... i did the mercs for avp2. well and alot of other things, vehicles weapons. though i have to say i dont see the similarity to rykov. im glad you liked that game... that was the funnest project i have ever worked on... perhaps the similarity is because of the style... i learned from a man named andy grant. who did 95% of the characters on avp2, and tron. i think in the tradition of doing very stylized art, mostly thanks to eric kholer (once art director at monolith) im still very infulenced by that style. Edited January 9, 2004 by Ruak Quote
mbs357 Posted January 9, 2004 Posted January 9, 2004 AvP2 is one of the best games I've ever played. I think that the baldness and a few facial features (big nose?) reminds me of Rykov. But yea, all of the models in that game are great. The game itself is great. And it actually has good acting. D= It just lacks a bit of replay value... Quote
Lestat Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 Looks excellent. Can you post another updated shot? Quote
