Thanks! Going to be running through the final details–then hopefully, QRemesher will be released–so I can retopo the minotaur body and get those real sharp details.

Well, I was trying to upload a WIP of the gun I was working on. Apparently, I don’t have enough posts. I don’t even have a link to make albums. Frustrating.

Upload to imgur.com and post an IMG link.

I want to see your gun!

Me Too! Please post what you have so far.

Let’s try this:

Need to work on rendering though, its a bit flat.

Ooh! Looks much better than the last version. The edges seem a bit sharp looking, though - any human-use tool should have bevels, in my opinion. Also improves the overall look. But good job so far!

Another update. Mostly finished. Need to rough-in the bipod feet and the drum-mag lock. Then start going over it again to add detail.

Still think the shoulder part needs some adjustment in regards to rounding. It looks too sharp/boxy for comfort. Especially the sharp end, which could cause a very painful experience. See for example:

Great job, otherwise.

Yeah, the stock is on my to do list for polishing/detailing. The receiver was giving me problems last night before I went to bed.
Back to work.

Moved from “Latest News” to “Blender and CG Discussions”

Update: Second pass 97% complete. E-canister/powercell lock, then the strap D-rings are the last bit.

Here’s something really useful


Can’t call up the website right now though.

Edit www.sketchfab.com is now available.

Should prove to be interesting

Something to think about if you want the best Blending experience.

Looks like it’ll be a great little movie.

Nodes ftw!!

Food in a Blender? Who would have guessed :wink:

Something I’ve been futzing with off and on. I’m finally happy with the “wings”.

The plasma gun was giving me a bit of grief. I want to be more accurate than the other model, but that’s the great thing with just one view like my source image, you don’t have to be totally realistic with proportions. The raider toy is a real object, I know it works, and I have one for reference.

You know, I’m going to start to develop a complex if you guys don’t say anything.:ba:

Here’s a little something for face modeling, good topology and the like.
