Ok, just setting up the DoD livestream. Should be up in about ten minutes barring things catching fire on my end http://www.twitch.tv/stevtheomnipotent And bad news, if i can't find it within the next few minutes, it's gonna have to be the Fibrewerx body. I thought i had a huge stockpile of Dungeon of Doom reference and a good starting mesh to work with, but apparently i'm an idiot and i've lost it. so yeah, sorry

maple leafs are way too big and thick. there's a lot of dead zone on NN I'm aiming for 5pm pacific time, 8pm atlantic time.

Anybody got some good reference for NN? I've got enough to work with but i'm aiming to be so pedantic i want the number of maple leafs to be accurate, so the more the merrier

Well, soonish. And NN would just need a ricerback and sun visor, both pretty easy to do, and the paint's pretty simple too. Y'know i might just do it for the hell of it tonight, why not

And since that body's going to be public, may as well post this

You've just made me want to model Reptoid you monster.

OH, OH. I HAVE THE PERFECT REACTION IMAGE FOR THIS I'VE WAITED SO LONG TO USE THIS Also that digger body sucks and johan has my not crap one. Make that one go away

i thoguht those were called nightmares

So, Saturday night for Dungeon of Doom?

oh right DoD it is then

well that's good enough for me. i'll try and shovel off the heaping pile of stuff i'm doing and find a time that works

Project from view is bad and you should feel bad. Also i don't remember getting an answer about livestreams, would anyone be interested in a livestream of the Fiberwerx body sometime?

I only complain about objective quality. You can't tell me that liking low poly nightmarish messes of models like this is a matter of personal taste. And if you say it is, you're wrong. Sure it's your opinion, but sometimes your opinion can be wrong, like saying you like to bathe in sewage, burn books, shoot herion and murder people while worshiping Hitler and the SS. Sure may still be your opinion which you're obligatorily entitled to to, but that doesn't make it any more right.

it looks like an N64 model of a `34 ford pickup wearing his hat And also, anyone still interested in a livestream? I've been working on nothing but TF2 models for months and now that i have a top down ortho of the Fibrewerx body i don't have an excuse for not doing it anymore

ah now i have to rip WF14 and do my own. i know i said i don`t care any more but god, if only for the hell of it Come to think, i don`t even think i`ve watched the DVD at all. Weird.

yeah. you are wrong. It's his thing, it looks better the way it is, and because v4 is a heaping pile of suck, it makes literally no difference on how it'd handle, and it's his truck, and almost literally demmanding it be changed back on a personal preference is a dick move. deal with it

just make the back wall near the sign the backflip ramps. doesn't get in any line's way for the rest of the track and everyone can see it. seriously, love world finals 14

the text on the tires is way too loud. It shouldn't be legible unless you're really close

Backflip should just be a thing to do. Wheelies didn't ruin monster trucks, and nor did just jumping the loveers. It's a move and nothing more. The end.

you have the exhaust coming out from the oil pan there. That's not gone right. They should be just under the spark plugs i think, hard to tell from this angle

materials be broke The way this thing is it feels very thin, brittle. I know that's how fibreglass is, but even fibreglass has depth to it. This just feels like a paper model It's also very square. Why doesn't the front end bend at all? Almost everything has a shape from all sides. There's no bow to the bed, no depth to the sides, no slant to the pillars, no shape to the roof at all. You gotta think about that sort of thing. every surface has to flow on a model, this just feels really stiff and bricky. Also there seems to be some really queer choices with the wireframe Why are there twelve edge loops in the front when it's flat? Why is the lower corners of the grille a straight single face while the center gets so much attention? Why is there so many edge loops for the headlights when the only change in the surface just a 45 degree angle which should actually be smooth? You gotta think about the shape you're going for, and in a perfect world, every model would have exactly as many edges on a certain surface as is exactly needed, and the entire model would have an even poly distribution. Impossible for real time, but strive for it anyway. All that said though, good deal SM is going towards overall quality. And at the end of the day, anything that's not this thing can't be going downhill

give me good reference and i'll do it

ok, that's actually pretty nice. I'd just lower the grungy metal a tad. It should be a finer detail, not overbearing

Nope. Ever heard of granary explosions? Flour's bloody flamimible when floating in the air. It was enough to level a whole grainary at the waterfront in the sixties here

that's a good try, but you're missing a whack of lines along the side and back. offhandedly i know there's a few ridges that sort of do a fender sort of shape along the back. And without those shapes it sort of starts to look like a nazi helmet on wheels And put a specular on doomsday. right now it looks like a rolling singularity, absorbing all light that hits it into a hellish point of anti existence, dumping it out into another less crap universe
