Real time character - Field engineer

Fri, 23 Nov 2007 07:08:48 +0000

Title: Field engineer
Name: Gatis Kurzemnieks
Country: Latvia
Software: XSI, 3dsMax

This is my latest low-poly character. It was made in my spare time for local low-poly challenge. It consists of 4983 triangles. I used diffuse, specular color, specular mask, reflection mask, normal and environment map textures.
About the charater - I was inspired by perfect design of different bugs, so I tried to make this guy to look like a bug or scorpion. Unit itself is supposed to be a field engineer that can act as a heavy support unit as well (that's the big gun for). It can repair other units and do some construction/demolition in the field.
Hope you like it.

What happens to unlucky space fighter pilots who get killed? Their remains are flying for thousands of years through coldness of space and if lucky, someday crash on a lonely asteroid or are sucked in some distant star.

Fattycat

A fat cat initially created for a scene with few creatures, but I decided to post the cat alone as I don't know if i am ever going to finish the complete scene. Some details are missing as I planned the cat to be quite small in the final image, but afterall i like the result.

I don't like cats. I think they are evil parasites.
So - here he is.. a fat cat, sitting on his butt all day and doing nothing

Games, games, games - this is how I got into CG.

This picture is how the model looks in real time with normal maps and everything (that's why there is no antialias)

No one ever talks about those poor guys who are killed in massive space battles.. Where do their remains go?
Their destroied ships with their dead bodies fly for thousands of years through the coldness of space, till some day they fall on some lonely asteroid to stay there forever.

Wine room

Thu, 23 Mar 2006 08:40:45 +0000

Wine storage room (basement) - i don't know how it is called in english
This was my forst attemt to create more or less photorealistic environment. Most of the work was done on texturing as geometry is quite simple.

The idea was to create some kind of ancient and massive device, located somewhere where no man goes.. an rotation axis of the World

warrior

Thu, 23 Mar 2006 08:58:41 +0000

This was an evil character for my demoreel I never finished.
His mouth is sealed so he can not disagree with his master.

Fishy fish

Thu, 23 Mar 2006 08:31:16 +0000

This is a very old picture made when I was learning Maya. Fish was modeled in Maya but rendered in Max, as in old days Mayas renderer wasn't very good.
