General Horatio's Personal Transport

Ok well here it is with the General posed atop. Some mentors have pointed out some flaws in my design and I agree completely but I can't go back and fix it now not with school still going forward so I will take the mentioned critique into account on my next modeling en devours. This is not a final render I need to brush up on rendering and lighting maybe watch a DVD or something then add glow to the blue areas. I will have final renders next semester when I am putting my demo reel together.

The character and his bike come in at around 12000 poly's with 1 texture map each, 1 normal, 1 spec, (1 glow in the process)

New Look

Changed the color and some layout to make it look more appealing and less thrown together. I don't know how to get rid of the white lines behind the banner because I am a blogger newb. Anyways hope this is easier on the eyes(if the font color against the black ever becomes hard on the eyes please someone feel free to let me know in a comment)

New 3D Forums from the Centre for Arts and Technology


My instructor, a fellow classmate and I decided to make a new forum for the 3d Industry to help students and other artists get constructive feedback from industry professionals and instructors. We also setup some tech support forums for 3d Specific software.

General Horatio Personal Transport WIP3

I am just going to start with the high poly because I want to try a different work flow. With general horatio I made the low poly first then made the high poly off that which kind of limited some detail I think if that makes sense. So yeah not much detail yet but you can see the basic shape I am going for.
Any help with crit is encouraged and welcomed. Thanks

General Horatio Personal Transport

So yeah new semester, new model. For my program we have to make an vehicle for our final portfolio...So yeah this being my first ever Vehicle design I'm not to sure how it's goign to hold out in 3D Space. It is the like the title says My previous Characters personal ride. My instructors aren't to fond of the design but hell running out of time and I need to start modeling. SOO model I shall.

For my progresses I want to start posting more of the development stage to maybe help anyone who wants to model similar things to see kind of step by step of my work flow. It's by no means a professional project or work flow but I found similar things very helpful in my learning
