Clayman's models

[clayman101]

I'm still in the process of learning 3D modelling, and it's completely fascinating. I have a lot of classical art experience and training, but the new digital stuff is a great launching point for new ideas.

This is one of my earliest attempts at using Maya, and I'm still trying to figure out how to get a wireframe shot of the model, but I can say the polys are fairly low and there are no N sided faces.

More to come.

This is a model that keeps getting worked on.

I built it (really poorly at first, but I improved) early in my learning curve, and have re-built and added on several times since. This is still early in the production line, no textures for now but will add soon.

So here's the Mustang with a texture (which I'm still working on) and with a little bit of photoshop polish. Very basic, but I'm pleased with the results. Still working on improvements (the P-51 will get a lot of upgrades in the next while, since it's going in my portfolio), but here's what I can post for now.

Strong model, and the textures look nice Are you gonna add an AO map, maybe some dirt/scratches?

[clayman101]

Tkx, I don't know what an AO map is, but bump and normal maps are in the pipeline, after the texture is completed.

This texture is made for a 'museum quality' specimen of the P-51, but I'd love to do a combat veteran version of the 'stang. I originally did the texture for a Unreal Tournament 2004 Mod where it was, like I said, in a museum setting. You weren't allowed too close to the model, so I was a little lax in the detail, but for my own purposes, I'm adding detail, and would love to get to making a proper cockpit with the windscreen as an alpha channel. Portfolio comes first, though, so this model will continue to get detail as I get the opportunity.
