A Gargoyle model

[Asgarath83]

Where i can found a free or credit free gargoyle model low poly done with blender for convert into MD3 for my mod? D:

 

[Cerez]

Maybe I could make this for you, @@Asgarath83?

 

We just need to find a good gargoyle reference sheet.

[Cerez]

I've found two potential candidates:

 

Design 1:

 

 

 

 

 

Design 2:

Started on it, though nothing to show quite yet.

try to keep in mnid what I told you about topology when you were working on mews head for this model @@Cerez

I am. Thanks!

Thanks, Cerez! I am waiting : 3

Do you need it urgently?

 

I'll try to squeeze a few hours in this weekend, and see if I can finish this for you. (Right now I'm very much focused on completing and releasing my year-long Ahsoka model, but I want to get full swing back into modelling straight after.)

Well... i am finishing to rebuild and retexturing a map that i need to use for make the second of the cathedrals of my mod. so... yes, it's for the decorations... is not massively urgency, but i will need soon. o.o take your time. if you late 2 weeks i not bite you

[Cerez]

@@Asgarath83 Oh, it definitely won't be as long as two weeks. I should have it for you in a few days, right after I release Ahsoka.

 

Thanks for being patient. It really helps me to focus on one thing at a time.

Don't worry @@Cerez , end your model before. When you release i will play it

@@Asgarath83 How many of these little guys are you going to place on the map? What sort of polycount should I aim for?

 

Should I keep their bottom flat (like a statue), so you can place them on a flat surface and they'll appear rooted/heavy?

Wait D:

1 : i not know, but many. take the poly count to low \ medium value.

2 : mmm i appreciated if gargoyle is stand on kneels with as flat the bottom of the feets. the arms upon the legs, touching the ground, the face with frown expression and eyes that watching the observer. mmm for facial expression... can gargoyles roar instead of make an evil smile? i think the statue need to incute fear. also, a roaring gargoyle can hallow a target_weapon_shooter in front of mouth and so some statue can shooting the players.

[Cerez]

Okay, thanks, I'll see what I can do. Currently he's sitting on his hind legs, like in the reference photos. I should have a decent WIP shot up by tomorrow.

[Asgarath83]

Many thanks

Still working on the wings...

UYes, pretty nice!! D: is exactly how i desire. thanks! :3

Remember only two technical thing about MD3 models.

1: not make a mesh with more of 1000 vertexes, if you overcap this limit, split the model into more meshes.

2: when you end to modelling the model, select all meshes and go to edit mode and press CTRL + T this convert the square faces into triangles. squared faces are not supported by md3view and jka : \

 

Thanks very much however, it's really cute. :3 i cannot wait to see the textured versions should be really scarry XD

[Cerez]

Finished with the wings and the geometry. Take it for a 3D spin and let me know if it looks good. We're at 929 vertices, so we're just right.

If everything's fine, I'll add the UV seams and create a rough texture for it. Can you export it to MD3 from OBJ? You know more about this than I do.

I have no words... it's wonderful D: thanks Cerez, really! :3

Yes, i can import OBJ without problem, but maybe is better if you pass me on Private Message also the .blend project when you end uvmapping and textures. so i can convert into MD3 and if i have problems i will tell to you. when models is Okay i make a PK3 and i upload on JKHUD if you want. i think this work is very good and can be shared to all community can be useful for fantasy, temples or darkest maps.

 

Edit, for my blender the import format more workable is the .3ds i can works fine with 3ds and obj, but is better the .blend file itself with the project and the textures. i use blender 2.64 for build the md3.

[Cerez]

I've modelled it in Silo, not Blender, so the open OBJ format is our only option to get it into Blender, I think. Okay, I'll finish the UV seams and textures, and I'll PM it to you -- and you let me know if you have difficulties converting it to MD3.

Sure, why not.

Okay, understood. send me the OBJ, the MTL file and the textures when you are ready.

@@Cerez watch out for those n-gons, the mouth sides could use an edgeloop or 2 more aswell

 

does it have UVs yet ?

[Cerez]

Thanks @@AshuraDX.

 

Those n-gons don't actually exist! They're two adjacent rectangles. I don't know why the Sketchfab viewer interprets them as one... something weird on their side.

 

Yes, I've just finished adding the textures.

[Cerez]

All done:
