Lucio's Gun WIP update

So I started modeling out Lucio's Gun from Overwatch. Here's the latest update(2100 verts):

You can watch the video here of the initial shaping: 

Part 2 will be up later this week. We're having the floors done in our house at the moment so my computer is down at the moment.

As always, thanks for looking!

Hypercar/Batmobile Work in progress

So I started out with  a design that resembled a bit of the Michael Keaton Batmobile mashed-up with a Lamborghini frame. The wheel spacing turned out to be... a little small to put it lightly. So I ended up stretching it out a bit.


The majority of the details come solely from that single Batmobile. The back end resembles the animated series a little bit. I ended up doing away with the throw back doors which I felt reminded me of the Adam West version. I chose yellow as the accent because I felt it fit best with the bat logo used on the hood ornament.

I even added the chalk doodle from the dark knight rises to the brake calipers. They could be better, and the slotted rotors could use a little more material editing.


I have yet to work out the back end. For the render I threw the Egoista bumper on it real quick, but it wont be the final bumper for it. I'm also not sure about the headlights. I may still change the front end up a little bit. and I'll possibly add some mirrors and blinkers and such. I'd like for it to be a believable batmobile hypercar. I love the tumbler and all, but I think Bruce Wayne of today should have a more reasonable car for hitting the streets in an inconspicuous manner.

As always, thanks for looking!

F/A-18 C Hornet

So my buddy works on these in the Navy. He asked me to model it out for him. This was the best I could do in the end. As much as I'd love to achieve photo realism on something so complex, I'm not extremely proficient at texturing/painting these models and scuffing em up.

I'll get there eventually, but for now I'm still working to find new ways to achieve printable accuracy. I want my aircraft models to have the maximum amount of detail in them when brought to life.



To all those that serve, thanks for your service!

Ghost from Destiny


I have a friend that is a huge fan of Destiny so I decided to model out the little helper bot. This model was fun to figure out. I think I'd model it differently if I did it again. I have a better understanding of where the mesh could be simplified. I'd also like to make it a bit more accurate.

At the moment, the outer shell is ready to go in terms of printability, but I'd just have to figure out how I wanted to insert the inner sphere. It's easy enough to just do a boolean difference on it, but I think I'd also want to cut it in two so that I could insert some sort of LED inside of it as well.



As always, thanks for checking it out!

Airhorn


This is how I feel tonight. I hit 30 subscribers today on my Youtube channel. That's the equivalent of a classroom full of kids eager to learn. Its been roughly two months since I began making videos consistently and I feel content with the progress I'm making.

I've learned a fair amount in terms of what type of content my viewers want to see, so I'm attempting to keep all of the different preferences in balance right now. I feel like its good not to just focus on one aspect of modeling.

Just like in life we need to find balance.

To all of those that continue to support me and follow, like, or just check in on what my most recent work is, I'd like to say thank you. It means a lot to find a community of friends that enjoy modeling, and creating.

I look forward to what the next few months will bring, and thanks again.
