No Hellbender there

Your model looks really nice to me, keep it up

 

[MacTom27]

Thx guys

MaaX, my dream was also to make my own Xan, one day.

I remade the head and the shoulder pads ( using less polygons)




I have looked at many tutorials.
I think I know how to finish this model but....
Long road to travel.

Ah thats beautiful Stop teasing

 

[daloonie]

Nice looking. Looks like the old Xan MKII from back in UT'99. I like that

 

[MacTom27]

Hehe Thanx

Ok, I have finished to optimize and remake the shapes.


At the present I am making the UV Map.

 

[Maxx]

can`t wait to see the skin :tup:

 

[Death Dream]

Very Nice.

[Random Elite]

Me wants.

I know the current colour is the defualt, but I kinda like it like that with red joints...probably just me though.

 

[MacTom27]

Last update before the skin.

I had problems with UV maps ( too many polygones)

So I reworked the shape again.
But now the model is ready to be skin.

Look at the 2 versions !

 

[Maxx]

Keep the High Pol version for the first great UT2k7 model

Looking forward for your skinning, maybe you make a "classic" Xan greenish one and a black one like you did with your warbots?

 

[UTGirl]

A pity the poly decreasement but still looking awesome

Let the skinning begin

I love the original xan ( not the bonus pack 1) from 99. u should shoot for that our that concept of the ut2007 xan.

 

[Kronos1000]

Don't you mean Bonuspack 4?

 

[Random Elite]

I think he means the end-game Boss, Xan mk1.
And yeah Xan mk2 was in pack 4.

hehe even if Ut2004 can handle models with 10000 polys, I must think about low configs.

Here the progress of the skin :




It needs now some detail textures.

 

[Maxx]

The colorsheme looks decent so far :tup: looking forward for your detailtex!

Will there also be a camoed version? Keep it up

Unfortunately I don`t know how far Lopar is with his Sentinel VoicePack, but this would fit perfect here IMO

gimme


fantastic work so far MacTom

 

[daloonie]

Looking forward to this, actually.

Are you gonna rig it with the original Xan animations? Or do you want to give it a whack with animations too?
Personally I'd like to see some new fresh animations on a new model instead of the old stock ones.

Camoed version ? Why not ?

I have tested the Sentinel voice of the site...Great !!
Can't wait to get the final version.

Arg ! Rex, don't forget I am a very very fresh modeler and I have never animated anything !!!
I have learnt a lot of things while modeling this model but I have still many things to learn...
But if somebody has some tips for new animations, I am interested.


Also a big THANX goes to Matt "Fordy" Marshall for his tutorial.

Edit : Gah ! Fordy use a most recent version and I have the version 6 of 3DS max !!!!!! I must find information somewhere else or ask someone to give me the version 7 with character studio.
