First time doing high-poly modeling (the whole thing is about 144,000 tri, after one TurboSmooth iteration), and I think it came out pretty well. I started with a basic shape, and then just spent time adding in small details as floating geometry. Maybe later I’ll try turning this into a low-poly w/ a Normal Map.

Again, busy on other things the past few months. Kept getting ideas for this one, but feel into the trap of spending a lot of time trying to flesh out an idea before deciding I didn’t like it.

I’ve been spending a lot of free time over the last 2 months working on something big, but decided that I should take a break from it and just churn out something small, quick and simple.

I decided to make something somewhat higher poly and not texture it. Didn’t have as much time to work as it as I had wanted, and this month has been kind of rough on me.

It’s a Steampunk-styled Sniper Rifle. The Magazine, as well as miniature gas-tanks are hidden inside the body of the rifle by a sliding cover. I also decided that the scope should look like a telescope.

Generic Sci-fi Device. That’s it really. I can see it being anything from a teleportation device to a some sort of scanner. Had some trouble making my own textures for this, so I used a bunch of textures ripped from Star Wars: Jedi Knight II.

Generic Sci-fi style crate/storage container. Decided to make some colour variations for this one as well.

A Grandfather Clock. The fine wood grain texture was entirely synthesized in Photoshop (as opposed to what I normally do, which is to use photographic images a source). After finishing the regular texture, I decided to use adjustment layers to easily change the type of wood.

A Low-Poly Book Shelf. I like the way the bookshelf came out, but I’m not as pleased with the books. I might consider redoing the texture in the future, or completely redoing the geometry.
