Nice work ;D If only someone could make an AE train... ;)

Nowtuns project, but it might have something to do with him having a family and all that nonsense. I hope you don't have any commitments so you can stay here and entertain us like the court jester you are. Just kidding. Maybe.

Trust me Nowtun is still working on his project, he even got some code from an ehem, unknown coder. Ehem.

I agree with Paul, a feeco train would be the cats balls!

If you look at all the image links, you'll see many different models that have been made, including a few rendered images of the feeco train! Not my work, just something I've found whilst searching before :)

EDIT: Found the train one. Here it is for easy-viewing's sake :

hey fantastic work Lloyd, any plans for this?

@Ridg3 - Ive just gone off the radar for a bit, been busy with family and all that (was my son's first birthday last thursday) and ive decided to actualy finish a scene before showing it off as i have a really bad habbit of re-arranging the levels and/or improving the models, so what i show tends to not be the final product but im putting an end to that and finishing things first so i cant go back to it. the next time i show off anything will be when the location im working on is totaly finised. in a nutshell, im still working on it, everyday, ive even started keeping notes so that i ca keep track of progress.

@AvengingGibbons nice scene, but im thinking maybe theres a bit too much polys there? or is there already a bump map in place?

again, excellent work lloyd

lloyd 06-17-2011 07:22 AM

Hey guys, So good news and bad news.

The good is I've been working on the blimp.

the lowpoly is made, the normal maps and AO maps are bakes and I've been working on the texture. heres how its looking now

http://wireframebox.com/linkto/skinskinskin_17-6-11.jpg

I've been trying to make the fabric skin like. leathery!

also I've been adding leaking rust along the sides.

right now its 3 maps
1 x fabric
1 x body [panelling]
1 x everything else

So I'll keep working on the texture.

The bad news is I did an art test for just add water but unfortunately I'm not good enough, and by the looks of it they just hired 2 art people :(

oh well, still no job for me then.


olah!

Skibur 06-17-2011 08:05 AM

Ahh yes, I saw this on the Polycount forums.

Man, where was this thread? I'm kind of happy and sad that I never saw it. I probably wouldn't have made my Fee Co. train if I'd seen that it had been done before, but I'm really happy with the way it turned out, so that's cool.

Lloyd, we should totally keep making Oddworld inspired stuff ;)

T-nex 06-17-2011 01:04 PM

Wow I've only seen this thread now, But you're very good :) This is quite amazing.

Sekto Springs 06-17-2011 10:43 PM

Amazing work! :)
I can't wait to see it in action!

lloyd 06-20-2011 10:00 AM

http://wireframebox.com/linkto/skinskinskin_20-6-11.jpg

more like skin now, needs some colour variation across the middle sections reds/purples!

Oddey 06-22-2011 11:11 AM

Amazing work. Even without the color variation.

Havoc 06-22-2011 02:30 PM

Man I need to go to Fancorner more often. This is insane. Why are you not working for JAW yet. They're hiring, you know.

Unfortunately. This is pretty damn good.

Havoc 06-22-2011 02:46 PM

If they consider this not good enough, I wonder what the people they did hire can produce.

lloyd 07-05-2011 03:41 PM

I've had some other work come up but i am still adding grime to this!

as for job,

we'll I'm a 'junior' and they wanted somebody with more experience / speed.

times money yeah? not their fault. i need to work quicker!

Dipstikk 07-05-2011 08:00 PM

I don't know why, but it looks very much like something we'd see in Team Fortress 2.

Maybe I've just playing that too much lately.

Also, is that an air conditioning unit? :p

lloyd 07-13-2011 04:14 PM

:D i love tf2, the art style is amazing and yeah its an aircon.

i got to add what i wanted to the back end :D

altho i wish I'd seen the extra concept art from the oddworldlibrary.net



some extra blimp stuff in there, i nearly exploded!

lloyd 09-26-2011 08:08 PM

Any of you guys here played gears 3?
They have an enemy called a Locust Gas Barge

These are crazy! i love all the skin and teeth in/on them

http://images.wikia.com/gearsofwar/i...gehijacked.png

while you guys might not even have playd a Gears game. Oddworld and Gears have some things in common.

There's very much a grungy Victorian steampunk theme through out them.

MeechMunchie 09-27-2011 09:03 AM

This isn't actually a thread about blimps. Just saying.

Sekto Springs 09-27-2011 09:25 AM

Also, fuck Gears of War.

why isn't it? this is cool inspiration/reference everybody always seems so hostile round here

I posted it because I knew most of you guys wouldn't play gears as you've probably all got ps3s.

I'm not the biggest gears fan, i didn't really care for 1 and 2, but 3 has some really nice art. you get to see a lot more human structures etc.

I know at the time of texturing my blimp I was looking at giving it a skin look and ended up using a leather texture base. this skin blimp in gears made me WOW. so yeah semi-related

MeechMunchie 09-27-2011 10:52 AM

Oh, you're the guy who made the model. Right, sorry.

I thought a random newbie had just resurrected this thread to say "lawl look guyz i saw a blimp in this game. tHis is the blimp thread right?".

lloyd 09-27-2011 11:14 AM

STM 09-27-2011 01:35 PM

More to the point, look guys, gears copied oddworld! >_>

Sekto Springs 09-27-2011 06:57 PM

Gears copied every action movie/game that preceded it.

lloyd 09-30-2011 02:09 PM

now now. there's nothing wrong with it.
stop being a big old fan boy. look past the console its on and at the amazing art.

SW was made to jump on the 3d / fps band wagon

you can totally flip that around for any game. what it does, it does well
