Simple 3D models

[Cherppow]

Hello!

Thanks for the comments JellyWerker and Nikolia! I\'m still far from Kintall\'s views. Oh, i miss his work, hopefully he returns one day. I miss the other artists too who have been too busy testing CB to post any of their gorgeous work, Karyuu, Zeraph, ArcaneFalcon & many others...



Merry Christmas everyone!

[JellyWerker]

nice cherppow, very nice, and it fits the season indeed. I am done with lute model, working on the texture, I am starting to get reference material for the carillon.

[JellyWerker]

my lut texture is ugly, it needs help, so I am redoing it. (again, for the 5th time. whaaa)

[Nikolia]

lol, none like my Doom Graphic I made? ...

[Krillen]

I did, I laughed. Nice work by the way Cherpow

[JellyWerker]

ok, I abandoned the lute for a greater 2d artist such as cherppow, but I am working on birds now. (I had chickens, quail, and other things for many years, so they are something I know how to texture.) I was going to try and make a pheasant, a sparrow, a robin, a seagull, a chicken hen/rooster and chicks, a crow, a hawk, and an eagle/ or albatross. If I get them to look good, I will post.

Also, I am getting some stock pictures of the carillon, there are few resources on the web, so I sent of for some to frank dellapenna, the owner of the only \"portable\" carillon in the us.

Hello and sorry,

i\'ve been lazy, so we\'ll have to wait until 2005 for any new 3d models.

Thanks for reading!

To JellyWerker: feel free to post pics of models even if they\'re not textured. People may be able to give you good tips about texturing. Or someone may want to create a texture for you. The birds sound good too though.

To Nikolia: The green guy is hilarious! I was thinking of making a (very) low detail version of it. We may not have seen the last of him

To Krillen: Thank you. And sorry for not posting any new pics this time. The real reason why i haven\'t done anything is that i\'ve been exploring the world of Crystal Blue. See you there!

ok, here are some untextured models oof mine, the lute isn\'t quite done, I need to redo the head I believe. Here they are, first the lute:

rendered


wire


And a pheasant model, still think the head needs work.

rendered


wire


It would be nice if a talented 2d artist could make some textures for me, I would appreciate it greatly.

I think that those models need more details, more polygons, but that is just my own opinion... nice work tho!

[Cherppow]

Greets.

I think they both look good, especially the bird. I would be willing to sacrifice few polygons to round the lute body a little. You also need to join the body and neck so that there are no intersecting faces. Just select vertices from the ends you want to join and press F to add a face. Remember to delete any faces that are left inside the model.

Aha, here\'s what i have made for you.

A 256*128 lute texture that i made in haste. The configuration is somewhat ...special , but you should be able to fit it to your model. It has no transparency for now, that can be added later.

Oh, and it seems that i lied about not making models until 2005. The book now has an open variant.

[JellyWerker]

Cherppow, you are AWESOME, thanks you, I will round out the lute and apply the texture.

[JellyWerker]

I am learning a lot from that texture, first off, I never made my textures while taking into account blenders auto smoothing features, and I never new they could look so good and detailed while being so simple. Thanks very much.

Good for someone new, but you need ALOT more polygons. Also the lute has 6-12 strings, not 4. Try and making a small impresson of a hole in the middle to match the design Cherppow made you, also. Maybe add some simple polys to the tightening handles (played guitar for 6 years and can\'t even remember what the parts of the guitar are called ) and generally some more polys to the \"pot belly\" of the guiar. Just oppinions here, in no way shape or form am I an expert on the subject.

**EDIT** nevermind about the string count, see ya got 6 there.

I must have been thinking of another medieval instrument, because it had 3
