In fact, the hasn't been active in any social network since mid-2018. Every now and then I think about the possibility that someone in the community could drop dead out of nowhere and there'd be no way for us to find out.

Welcome, hope you have a good time here!

I love how fancy this looks! Day 15 Model Anyway, thanks to @the_raven for giving me a new push to post more stuff. Today I'll share with you something I created to decorate my latest map. It's a very simple crate that I made because I was bored of re-using other assets. Preview Pic: Download Link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/66opxaxh0zhiu9u/Daily_Challenge15.rar?dl=0

But this isn't a book, it's a visual medium. It's uninteresting to see a random background character get shot four times while he repeats lines from ROTS.

Not at all! I have been modding daily, but it's a big map so I haven't been able to upload it. I've also created some assets but they're not of the desirable quality I expect so I haven't uploaded anything. Stay tuned and I will update this thread, hopefully today! Thanks, your work was very inspiring to get me to learn about blender back in the day!

I liked it a lot, only criticism I have is that some action scenes tend to drag too much. I would lower the HP of every NPC to just one, so we won't see characters getting shot multiple times and still survive. I'd also consider modifying some sounds so they don't spam scenes from the film whenever they get hit.

An advice: If the focus of your image is your character, you don't want to drive the looker's attention away by adding an object that disconnects you from the focus point. In this case, the R5 head isn't positioned in the best place, composition wise. If your characters aren't fighting and don't have the same level of importance, you don't want random objects to be placed in the opposite side of your character's head.

I'd love to see more artwork!

Thanks! This was my source of inspiration: I collected a bunch of toys for references, so I will keep doing more buildings and hopefully they'll be better this time!

Day 14 Model: These last days have kept me very busy with the whole moving out thing and some other problems, but now I've time again to keep practicing modelling! The whole idea of this new upload was creating an asset that could easily be added to a tatooine kind of map. Now, I wasn't sure about updating with this, since it's not really finished in a very clean way. The UV layout isn't optimized in the best way possible and I couldn't work on the textures as much as I wanted to. However, I'm interested in what people have to say about the model itself, since it's the first time I've tried doing something this complex. For example, I'm sure the bolts are too high poly for the overall low-poly quality of the rest of the building.

No, I meant what I said. Doing kitbashes takes way less time than creating your own stuff from scratch. I've been short of time recently because I'm moving out to a new place, hence why I might no be able to do what I want to during these days. Today I wanted to do something a bit more complex, but I wasn't able to properly do what I wanted to, so instead I updated the female head model with a new object. Download link is same as before.

Day 13 Kitbash: I'm still loaded with work so I haven't been able to sit and relax with blender for too long. Still, I did the continuation of yesterday's project by adding the helmets and hats to the human male and also updating the female one so it has the classic rebel helmet too.

For now. If I'm short of time I'll do a human male version too and I'll slap some more hats unto it!

Day 12 Kitbash: I've been very busy with work today, so I used the small window of time I had to play with blender by adding some hats and helmets to the base human female model. All headgear comes from base JA and has it's respective LOD. Preview Pics: Download link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/36ypbwnwrkf68d2/Daily_Challenge12.rar?dl=0

Paciencia, lo están porteando los de muvi duls tu

Day 11 Model: Today I re-did the table I uploaded yesterday so it'd be even lower poly and also made a new one to share today! Preview Pic: Download link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hpy917jrdxnnb64/Daily_Challenge11.rar?dl=0

I love reading the discussion since it gives more insight to those that don't know a lot about modeling and optimization! Day 10 Model: This is a very simple model I did to save time while mapping. I mixed a lot of recent techniques I've learnt and used textures from textures.com to make it look more realistic. I used basic color painting to make the parts that should have less light darker and also to add some slight shadows to some zones in which I wanted to give the illusion of depth. I'll make more variations of this table in the following days and I will also try to experiment a bit more with hand-painting stuff.

Day 9 Mod: I've been practicing to advance my modelling more, but my recent attemps have failed, so I decided to work on another quick pose resource to upload today. Hopefully it'll be useful for people who need more animations for their mods! Preview Pic: Download link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jntn4kyitu4e18q/Daily_Challenge9.rar?dl=0

@@Langerd @@Droidy365 Vid stopped working for me too, so I replaced it with a pic. That's a beautiful model @@SomaZ, I'll love seeing it ingame!

Thanks! My objective was to familiarize myself with the paint tools from Blender, but it was clearly too much to handle in one go. I've been practicing a bit more now and trying to familiarize myself with painting with a Wacom tablet. It's a bit hard but I think I'll be able to get used to it in time. I'm guiding myself with this tutorial which seems very useful to my inexpert eyes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7ALfRw6I5I Thanks, that's solid advice too! I'll try to spend more time on my texture work in hopes of achieving a more realistic look! Day 8 Mod: Didn't have too much time today to do anything, so I did a quick animation for those who want their characters to sit in a more powerful manner.

Gotta say, hand-painting is even harder than I though, specially with a mouse! Even though I'm not proud of what I did, I feel the obligation to share it with you guys so it can serve as educational material regarding the mistakes I did. I'd heavily advice to do this while following a video tutorial or step by step images, since it helps make everything much clearer. Day 7 Model: I did a quick barrel in blender and tried to manually paint it with the Paint Editor option. Didn't end up looking the way I wanted, but oh well! Screenshot: Download link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/m095x0h58gw8tl9/Daily_Challenge7.rar?dl=0

I thought it'd suffice by adding Ambient Occlusion, but it seems I was wrong! I've always dreaded the idea of hand-painting highlights and shadows because I suck at painting (even more with a mouse), but I'll take it as a personal challenge to learn to properly do this.

Day 6 Mod: Today I don't bring a new model, but an animation resource for anyone that wants to use it on a project. It's based on one of Obi-wan's stances from EP III. Here's how it looks ingame, https://s1.webmshare.com/0vxZx.webm Keep in mind that you'll have to add this to your _humanoid.gla file on your own, since this is only a resource, not a full blown replacer.
