LE Warhammer 40k equipment

[Reaver1990]

While I can describe and even drawn most of the Warhammer 40k weapons, I have no idea as to how to make any of them, and was wondering if anyone would want to take this up?

If you can draw, you're halfway there :D

start learning modelling in blender and the rest will seem easy.

-.- Very helpful.

Would 40k weapons not look a little out of place, are you thinking power swords and such?

I really approve this Thread...

 

Finally my Name got a f***ing reason :3

 

 

Would really appreciate Power Fists and Claws.

I Suppose it wouldnt be that Lore-Unfriendly, if you make them Dwarve-style. Like goldenstyle and with a little bit of that technology, if you understand what i mean.

 

 

What do you need to do it?

 

3DS max for the 3D modell

Some .dds Editor. Like Photoshop (textures)

 

Well i suppose thats it.

Cant help you with that unfortunately (Just with suggestions, but nothing more :/)

Not quite.

If you can draw the concept, you are about 1/4th there. All of the required areas requires different skillset as well, which takes years to learn.

In a pipeline you will have:

 

1) Concept ideas.

2) Final concept art.

3) Model

4) Sculpt

5) Bake

6) Textures

 

Which boils down to:

 

Drawing --> Requires a sense of values and perspective.

Modelling --> Requires a sense of 3d and geometry.

Sculpting --> Requires a sense of depth, as well as a good understanding of modelling.

Texturing --> Requires a sense of materials. Knowing how materials works and how they react to different scenarios.

 

Knowing to draw will give you a headstart with sculpting and handpainting some textures, but that's it.

Sorry, I know it was meant as "peptalk", perhaps as a joke, but I'm bored.

 

 

Now, back on topic:

 

If you want something made, provide pictures. Having a trillion requests for models a day, one is easily burrowed away. You want to make your idea seem interesting and cool as soon as somebody takes a look.

As of now your post only interest people who knows what you talk about. Albeit a good portion do, you might just alienate the few that got the time to model for you.

I recommend a few pictures of what you want, so we don't do the guess work, and a clear idea of what you want.

 

Just remember, thing takes time and we are all busy :)

 

Cheers,

Matth

The first is an example of a power fist, the second a chainsword, and the third a force halberd from the Grey Knights (seeing as I should represent my army). I don't claim any of the works. Edited March 14, 2012 by Reaver1990

So

I think this could be a good thing to start with (With the Force Halberd)

I Hope these concepts can help some modellers to create it, to help us :3

Now, I can use 3ds Max, and if anyone wants to take this up, I can try to make models to work with, but no garuntee as far as the color goes: I've got no experience w/ meshes and such.
