Time for a 3D assignment.
Let's start with something easy.

A greek Hoplite.
He should have the Shield,Helm,spear etc.

There are plenty of references out there to choose from.

So if you want to try your hand at 3D modelling why not try it?
Models can be kitbashed if needed.

[The Best Guest]

Mind if i try this one out?

[Mathijs]

Pretty sure nobody is going to mind anybody doing anything by now.

[The Best Guest]

Well here it is its very kitbashed 5-10 min im perfectly open to ideas about improving it though.

Based it off this 5th century bc Hoplite


Front


Side


Other side

[Lauri]

Spear has the things from Tower Guards still.. should just be a normal spear
Shield should be more... erh.. round if you catch my drift..

I think that's about it in terms of what really needs "fixing"
Otherwise you could also make the helmet a part of the head, or the other way around... I find that having them separate usually isn't a great idea, but that's on my models at least

otherwise, great job

[The Best Guest]

for the spear you want a more "leaf" shaped type thing like wider and such for the head and get rid of the "hilt"?
and not exactly sure what you mean by more round but im sure i can just make a cylinder and put it on if it pleases you.
Edit: hows this?

[Devon]

Wait, someone actually made some work for this project? Everybody run!




Nice work TBG, looks like it should work well in game.

[Lauri]

er...

the shield is kind of a bowl... does that say anything?
and yeah, spear looks nice

[The Best Guest]

you want the shield edges chamfered?

[Mathijs]

Lauri means your shield is too flat. Compare it to the reference picture.

[The Best Guest]

Ahh well any ideas on how i could give it depth? chamfer only does edges and vertices.

[DIGI_Byte]

Well if you can allign the shield so its facing up, down, or sideways you can manually grab the vertices and slide them around to make the shields shape better, If its too hard you can alternativly make it again from scratch ising a cylinder

Height segments 1
Cap segments about 3-5
sides about 18-24 should do.

And manually edit its shape from thier.

[Radspakr Wolfbane]

Yes some work is being done.
Hurrah Thanks TBG and looking good.

[The Best Guest]

Digi that wont give it a curve though it will make sharp angles or a cone shape

[DIGI_Byte]

Cone shape?
Actually the outcome would be more like a bowl shape

[The Best Guest]

Ah my apologies it worked hows this?

[Mathijs]

I'd make it bulge a little more to look more similar to the reference, but it's not bad.

[The Best Guest]

Better I hope



anything else you think i should change?

[Mathijs]

I agree with Lauri's point about the helmet, so you could consider that.
