Master Chief

Well, time to start a new side model. This is one that I'll pick away at when I need a change from some of my more important models and just need a break, so don't expect overly frequent updates

Most of the model seems to curved. Most of the Cannon models of Spartans they have sharp edges. Either way nice Start.

Yeah, AM by default starts off with curves. Right now I'm just roughing out the basic shapes, but when I get to detailing and refining, that's when I'll be sharpening the edges

Ah, well i can't wait to see it finished.

This is actually a very tricky model so far, quite challenging

designing a suit of armor isn't like designing a ship,

Indeed. I'm not a terrific character modeler either, so I'm using this as an opportunity to try and improve that skill. I have built characters in the past, but not ones based on reference material

Try adding a skeleton (made or imported) then simply just model the armor around that.

That would actually prove to be more difficult than modeling from scratch. Don't worry, AM is primarily a character modeling and animation tool, in fact, a bunch of tools that were developed in AM, were then used in programs like Maya

It would, hmm i thought it would of made it easier.

Nope, plus it add unnecessary patches to the model. It's better to use still images as rotoscopes and get your proportions from that, it will be less taxing on the program and won't get in the way when you're trying to edit stuff

And that's why i suck at Modelling , and you don't.

Well it was a good concept, it's just the application of it that was off. It all comes down to knowing your program and knowing your abilities with the program. And like I said, I'm not a very good character modeler, organic stuff just isn't something I've really developed, though I've spent 5 years building space ships and stuff like that

in 5 years you an do a lot of stuff, I've only tried 3D last year. I've just never advanced, and now i's stealing your thread. [/stops complaining]

That's OK, it's a good conversation, that's where OT can become all right here sometimes, it's also how we get post count up on the forum

Meh, well if i could only model like the Daedalus in your sig. i would't be all doom and gloom.

Well, that Daedalus was done by Pros, so not even I'm there

I want a sig like that... and Your doing your best with what experience you have, and learning even more from the practice your getting now.. I couldn't do it because I don't have the patience.. I'm bouncing around from one thing to the next... though I'll tend to stick to writing something such as a poem or short story for things

what do you want for a sig? I shall point you in the direction of the avvies and sigs thread:

I'm am so far away from Pro.

This is the best character I ever modeled. However, the body I manipulated to be what I wanted, I didn't build from scratch. And someone else built the gun

However, this is how most characters turn out for me:

There good, you don't give your self enough credit.

Very good. Better than me... well anyone is better than me,i cant dray 2D still the best iv ever seen!

Please Dont Necro.
