this is my first attempt at modelling a player model, and it seems to be coming along alright

im not too sure if i built it correctly, because i know there are ways to make them so it dont mess up etc so if anyone could comment on that it would bew appreciated :)

by the way, the hands, head and shoes are all temp - and if you havent noticed his left arm is floating, thats just there to get an idea. And yup, the smoothings not the best but i will fix that later if i can.

Should i continue, re-build, learn how to properly make player models?

Of course it needs a lot of work but the general look is great especialy for a start.
nice work.

Looking very good so far, I hope these go well, these can be skinned either as british desert rats or the aussie "rats of tobruk" as their uniforms were identical:)
good models coming along there

Reminds me of Muldoon from Jurrassic Park. Keep it up, looks nice.

Reminds me a lot of my Airborne models ;)

Nah thats o.k, but you might want to use the head I released a while ago which is already UVMapped and with a template texture.

Edit: Does that colar [sp] look any good, or does it look like he's wearing a wooly coat?

damn, the mouth on jeds head is bigger then steven tylers

hehehe, that can be changed ;)

http://eldar.cz/rock/names/photos/tylers.jpg - thats the guy i presume

i think marzy modifed the head to have non-kipper lips. Pm him for it.

Your all going to hell.

Gawd, talk about biting the hand that feeds you. LOL

- Jed

With that mouth you can eat my whole hand :o

heres a little update, im not to sure on how the baret looks, crappy?

edit: if anyone knows of any good website where to find the equipment the desert rats used, it would be much appreciated because im struggling to find any :/

Thats looking cool so far mate. The Tam O'Shanter could do with being a bit bigger. I've got a **** load of ref pics knocking about from when I did my desert Rat pack in 3.1 so grab us on AIM, ICQ or MSN and I'll send you what I got.

Generally uniform wise they jus wore a sand coloured uniforms, the helmet were either the same colour or a darkish green/brown and the berets were black (if you doing the tank boys).

cheers mate, like these?

Aye they were that kinda colour.

Jus found some colour plates of the desert regiments. Give us a minute and I'll upload them and post them here.

- Ska

Hmmm, thats a bugger, can't seem to find my Desert Rat reference photos, sorry.

I did scan some pages outta my WW2 uniform book though. They're not all regiments from the 'United Kingdom' but you might find them useful.

I've got a **** load of colourplates of ANZAC, Indian, Gurka, Dominion countries too if they're any good to you.

:eek: cheers mate, thanks a lot... oh and btw. heres a little update of my attempt at the equipment.

http://iamdoydy.dajoob.com/renders/ratsmooth6.jpg
lol, hes a wax model, so damn shiney

i think they are almost ready for uvmapping, althought im not sure because i have never made a player model before, lol.

Eww, he's all sweaty lol

Looks cool mate, nice work. needs a wee bit more neck I think but other than that I like it.

Hope those pics are some use to you mate.

- Ska

heres a little update, i added what i think is, the rifle pouches, sten pouches and the gasmask.

i would like to have people for different classes with things like

-rolled up sleeves
-trousers
-maybe afro hair like in ska's picture #10
-anything else i forget/could add

the problem with that is that i really dont have a clue about how to do it, maybe if i learn and this gets finished i could create a v2 or something.

http://iamdoydy.dajoob.com/renders/ratsmooth7.jpg

that afro hair is 100 % style, brotha! :D

Fantastic work mate, i'll be definately using these when you've finished them.

- Ska

Don't know about all the others but the last one works fine for me so have a :confused: from me.

These still in the works?

yup, i am just finishing of my exams but they are almost ready for uvmapping.

i have just been trying to figure out how to build the arms and things so they dont look all cocked up in the animation. i finally got it.

Cool can't wait!

Yeah, hardest part of modeling it to not have things deform, but still keep a lower poly count.

heehee... i'll be honest, i just copied how jed build his models. not exactly of course, im not good enough to do that :)

Good job. You should add a little thermos for their tea...HAHHAAH WHAT A STEREOTYPE!!!

cant wait to c these.

U must definately make a pack of number 10 lol with different afro color for each class lol
