Commander Modeling - Fan Art.

I have been wanting to do this since the first build was released but due to sudden severe illness nothing ever got started. So I finally got 3dsmax installed once again after 2 or so years of inactivity and began modeling today.

My plan is to fully model the alpha commander in as much detail as possible then texture and rig it and produce some nice beauty renders. I will use some artistic license to add or remove certain features but I plan to stay close to the original concept as possible.

Here is my progress so far and the original alpha commander for reference.



I will update this thread with my progress as and when i get more done.

all feedback/comments are welcome!

Cheers
Matt.

(edit: this is not intended to be put into the game. Fan art means what it says, its just art for the love of the game.)

try loading it into the game first

I think you misunderstand. this is not intended to be put into the game. It is purely for fan-art.

yes i did misunderstand (although OP didn't hint at this in any way). alright, carry on.

The title of the thread has fan art in it! lol

alright, ^^ it could have been fan art to go into the game?

Or it could have been the normal type of fan art that never goes into a game

this looks like the body or the head i cant tell. i think this could be a good body just dont screw up the head and lower body as for the lower body i think tank should be appropriate

How do you mean? That's the head with the upper torso (and an amazing level of detail!).

oh thats the head and the upper torso XD well yea its very detalied but i dont like the face... well maybe its because theres no lights yet.

Yes the torso and head are the same thing on the alpha commander. Either that or he has a very fat neck. lol

Anyway, here is a small update on my progress. He has guns and a face... with lights!

A couple more small updates. The shoulder joint without the armor piece and added a second 'eye' light for a little more detail in the face area.


More to come...
cheers

Matt.

great job man you should really offer this comm to uber if the final results are good i bet i'll buy it
so far you'r doin great

I bet he'll end up using way too many polygons compared to other commanders
And since alpha is locked to the alpha backers, I fear it won't ever become available :3

Awesome work though ^^

That model has already gotten a lot of love. I love the details!

I think you guys are missing the point. This isn't for in-game usage. Fireboymatt just want to make pretty pictures, i.e. Fan Art.

Thanks!

/facepalm haha

Last two updates for today.
Finished the arm mounted shields and started to work on the second arm (the fabrication arm).
I'm not sure about the amount of green 'buildy' stuff on display i think it needs more.


Cheers

Matt.

p.s. as stated before, this is fan art. Not intended to be put into the game.

Looking good! Now full rendered supcom style trailer with this level of detail pls.

Cool! I shall keep an eye on this
