Knights and Knifes....

Hello everyone, I am back with more 3D goodness over the past 3 days I think I have been starting a load of new 3D projects which I will show you guys/gals over the next few weeks but first I promised to show you the finished Knight model, I only took one render of it but put it in a dramatic way it does look pretty cool and because of its angle you cant see all the errors I made when making it e.g the slight warping around the neck of horse because of the sub division modifier on triangles, I did convert most tris to quads before I sub divided it but sadly there was still some warping.

The head its self wasn't to hard to make, I used a new skill to make it which I then used to make another model with I will show of later, I may also go into detail another time about this new technique because its very very useful and very easy to do.

Now then the final render....

Cool right...

Well I think I did a good job of positioning it looks pretty sweet the direction the light is coming from so it casts the shadow in the opposite direction it looks epic and I think it turned out all right, truth be told I was pretty worried when I started making this because I modelled the outline but couldn't get it to fill, NOTE TO ANYONE OUT THERE USING BLENDER AFTER USING THE F KEY TO TRY AND FILL THE WHOLE OUTLINE AND IT NOT WORKING I FOUND OUT YOU NEED TO USE ALT-F INSTEAD IF THERE ARE MORE THAN 4 VERTEX'S.

Use the above help advice if you get stuck it took me too long to find that out -_- look at me helping you lot out and saving you guys/gals time ^_^

And now time for the next model I made using the same technique i used to create the horse head for the knight piece, this model is actually an item from an anime a friend of mine turned me onto to called "Darker than Black" and he recently brought a replica coat that the main character of the series wears and the main character also has these two knifes which looks pretty sweet, and I joking said to my friend I would try and create a model of the knifes but couldn't do it, one because I was crap and two because I had no idea, then after I made the horses head it hit me, so heres a picture of the main character with one of the knifes in his hand have a lookie.

You may have to zoom in to see better just click the picture remember ;)

So that's the knife in his hand and this is my render of that knife.

Slightly bigger....

Now it is only a test model Its missing textures and there's meant to be a hole in the middle as well but all in good time, for a base clay model I think i made a good job of it :D 

And before I go heres a still yes you heard that right "STILL" from an animation I am making, hopefully if it renders right I will have it ready for next time enjoy....

But what's it doing......

Till next time.

This night is a dark knight.....

Hello everyone, ^_^ as promised I am back finally settling in with life again been busy with unpacking and getting results so I haven't had much time to do 3d modelling but tonight I finally sat down and started my new model the knight chess piece forgive the title I was trying to think of something snappy but that's the best I could do :) 

Don't expect it to have that much detail on it, still a noob remember >.<

And thinking of it now I will need to hunt down that marble effect I did for my Pawn piece to use again, that may actually hide the scaring effect on my bishop model.
Anyway I need to make this one in two parts the main base and the actual horse part I then need to join up the two pieces when I am done with them, why is this I hear you scream ? surely its just a waste of time, and I say yea it most likely is xD but there is method to my madness, I am thinking it would be hard to scale up the head well its already attached to the base, I already did this technique when I created my human model with his fingers.

Heres some screens of the finished base I have yet to start the head but that will come soon expect that in a update sometime next week and or the weekend.

Another feature I am making use of now is the two screen feature blender lets you create multiple screens that allow you to work at different angles I find its very useful if I am working from a source image like this one as I am modelling it 2d and I only have to look right and see it in 3d very helpful.

Little test render of the base.

Till next time.
