Plasma Bug

StarShip Trooper Models

Well.. i went to check if PR had done anything, so i checked there site, saw that there mod got in some top..thingy so i clicked there, but i went to the news section of Moddb accidentally...but i scrolled down and found a RTS game being made based on Startroopers, the game is fresh, so it just started.

I looked at their stuff, wasnt too happy..with..their models...wasted polies..ewwy textures i must admit, never meaning to offend, so it caused me to post on their site as a freelancer modeler.
Their old plasma bug had over 1000 polies, mine has about 800.

and atm im remaking their plasma bug, mines not unwrapped or textured yet.
I also really..really REALLY want to unwrap their skin for the archin..watever bug..

But...the unwrap is really..confusing and..not placed...right....heres the plasma bugs unwrap for there old one: Click Here

Old model: Click Here

Anyway, the games hosted at moddb, and heres the games site:
moddb site
offical site

and by all means, i dont wish to offend their hardwork, but its just my opinion on them.

Heres my reference image:Ref image

It also seems iv gone over my attachment..limits..strangely i thought this prob was fixed. anyway, here are the images. 910 polies.






EDIT: Added the Chariot Bug. 360 polies.



EDIT: Added Tanker Bug 558 polies.


with back leg...things?



EDIT: Warrior bug, about 700 polies(this model was an edit of the original at the project..thing..)



A goo mound (resource thingy) about 300 polies.



Bug Mound (creates Warrior bugs, hopper bugs and Blister Bugs) about 400 polies


Fissure (creates Tanker Bugs and Plasma Bugs) about 700 polies cuz of the rocks

Fissure v2, made too look less vagina-ish >.>


I have edited their Trooper, only edited the unwrap, changed the legs abit and such.

looks good you might wan't to put him in a more neturial position though i learned fast that if you model with stuff in a diffrent position it haunts you in your animations later.

i know, i normally set my models up with there arms and legs spread out, but i can easily change that later for this model. thnx for the tip.

First I thought that you mean error by mentioning 'bug'

[SARCASAM]very bad. high poly for such small creature, and legs are streched. you could use more polies on wings. wheres the texture?!?[/SARCASAM]

hehe niiiiice, i, as mechanical man said, thought you have plasma screen and that you have bug with it.. nvm. I hope to see this animated and textured then

Starshiptroopers was a wierd movie that featured aliens blowing the shit out of millions of humans, which was wierd considering they were so advanced they could have just launced some really strong nuke upgrade and blown the alien bugs planet up.

But who cares.
The modle looks good and the project might produce something half decent and I hope they take advantage of the new 3D graffic methods that have come out since that way polies should be no problem.

Also wonder if they will give support to modern features like dual core or Dx10 and other really efficent methods of graffics and processing.

Well anyway wonder what it will turn out like.

Nice. Much better than theirs.

The movie was weird, and a little inconsistant. But the book was way better.

*edit* very nice new models werewulf! keep it up!

Thanks for the comments and yes iv seen starship troopers, number 2 kinda sucks since it was more of a serious one and got kinda boring,while the first one had like comedy and such in it.
Iv finished the unwrap and im starting to texture the model atm.

EDIT: the model is done, now i just need to send them another version with the legs outstretched so they may rig it.(bah, ill just posture the legs clean, too hard to outstretch...and im too tired...)





it was hell adding another set of legs specially when there wasnt enough space in the joints to the body..

[SARCASAM]your model sux. why it needs 6 legs? and back is so big. bad model. not nice 0/10[/SARCASAM]

Nice texture so far and mesh seems to be veeery clear (it isnt blob in game)

Cool Wulf, very cool.

Thnx, the textures are 512x512. The chariot bug ...has a large range of concepts...so it was abit odd to make, oh and it has about 350 polies.

Iv talked to the person who im giving them to, he sent me the plasma bug to texture...but he might not be happy that i totally redone hes model...

but also, there will most likly be a clash of style so anything who wants to help the guy can go ask

oh, and heres the tanker bug....made out of the Plasma bug. 558 polies.

Dude........DUDE!!...

Nice work 10/10, theyre good, like HappYTauren Said, will be good in-game!

Iv added some more stuff. The warrior bug which i had to fix, add arms and re-unwrap and texture and i remake of the goo mound thing.

This has Kinda evolved from a threadabout the PlasmaBug to the entire Arachnid Empire.

Yep.
Heres a list of what ill be making... I havnt confirmed this with myles yet, but he is the leader so he may change this, sounds like a fair bit....but rigging and anims are another thing, and thats not what im doing.
Images and info can be found here:
LIST

The Engine from what i know is very old, but free. Its based upon the Glest engine which is also a Free RTS:
Glest Site

And for all those that want models for wc3 from me, i cant..my vertex mod doesnt work.. even if iv added the missing file and re'dl AND milkshape wont work, even if i crack it *cough*.

Why do you take such useless tasks upon yourself?

Well, some people claim i let people walk over me when i get my head into something..and i guess thats very true...specially with the tasks of models that people request..blah blah...then i ..kinda get ...stressed and lazy near the end..and..well, im sure you know how it turns out Dionesiist :/

I can be aggressive and cruel at times, but the passive and scared side of me can be easily taken advantage of.

anyway, what inspired me here was, well...to put my models to good use and well, the starship trooper bugs are just kool. And well, i thought..they needed..alot more help but had the potential i guess. >.>

But im thankful i applied as a freelancer... id be cutting my own throat and bashing my head agaisnt the wall if i applied as a team member..and im already a modeler in another project..and its...really pulling on my back......specially when im ask to fix/edit etc more models when i cant due to program probs...

Wulfay you gotta abandon these projects that request way too much of you.
Seriously.

But if you want any of your models converted to wc3, I can help you with that.

ya know these could be used to make bug evolution a whole lot better like if the maker of it recreated it and used these models it'd be a great map.

I kinda do agree with the people to some extent. I mean the people making this project haven't really "proven" themselfs that they will be capable of completing the project. But the models are good and you made them so if anything you can use them for something else. You should reduce that amount to just a couple and ask that they get a bit of stuff done. I mean I seen plenty of these kinda groups before they will drain every new member dry before they acutly start doing there work.

Well, if all turns out bad, ill make the files public and upload them at turbo squid for people to use for their games and such.

who is gonna use your models, they all suck XD... lol just read that forum... you reskined all their bugs?

=/

i remodeled all their bugs..
and i fixed their original warrior bug and added arms...and re-unwrapped and textured it..

NOTE:
Redone/edited the fissure model since like..ALOT of people said it looked like a vagina
Iv also added the trooper render, i didnt make the model, but i fixed the legs and it and such.
ATM, Im currently fixing the barrackes unwrap and re-texturing it. Also Myles has animated most of the models.

rly good Werewulf, but ure not making a queen or somethin?
something like looks more like bosses/heroes? (Bug empire)
or are u planning to make some?

No.. myles doesnt want too many stuff...only 5 or so units per side >.<

Now all you need to do is make the Brain Bug! Keep in mind, it's supposed to look like a vagina lol
The designers of it were actually the ones who nicknamed it the Vagina Bug

Was that really necessary? But since you revived this I'll move it to the gallery.

Nice "bug". And the solider too...

dude? they're bugs, damn-kickass-fucking-killer-bugs... isnt cool enough? :T

nice work with those models, very impressive. did you created all or used some models already done?

im having problems to import\edit models (CS, Sketchup), if you have experience on this please help me.

And you revived this 2 month old thread just for that. . . (last post at 08-28-2007, 07:14 PM)

Well anyway I still stick with my opinion
