Issun135 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) The Elytra Syandana I'm almost done (taking way longer than expected) with making this Syandana and I'm sticking with the name Elytra. But I'm still looking for feed back on what you think. I'd like to also congratulate MaaYuu and alexmach1 on getting both of their Syandanas finished and accepted in round one. I hope for mine to join in for round two. Update 1.1 10/27/15: Original concept and first base mesh iteration. Closed Open Update 1.2 10/28/15: base mesh refinementI shrunk the stiffer parts slightly and split the cloth parts in to two parts to be more like insect wings. I'm starting to really like the name Elytra but its used by the elytron but I'll just have to wait and see. Textures are still a long way off.Open: Closed: Update 1.5 11/2/15: Just a bit of a text based update. I haven't had a lot of time to work on it but I've finished the UV mapping and slowly learning how to texture for game models. But that's proving to be a little more difficult than I had thought. If I could get any tips or anything you guys have to making textures I'd be glad to hear them.Update 1.6 11/9/15: i had finished the high poly sculpts on both of the outer rigid "wings" but then i learned i forgot to weld a few points together on the bottom to smooth out the edges. Which was a slight set back. I tried to sakvage the sculpt but since my knowlage with sculpting isnt a whole lot i couldnt salvage the normals due to a slit change in the UV's. So there goes a few days of work. School is getting busy too so time is limited. Update 2.0 (almost there) 11/10/15: Did some sculpts, but they are not final. I'm still debating if i should have the orokin writing on the wings. but the UV mapping is done at least and the wings are going to most likely be the parts with the most detail with sculpts so everything else has whatever mapping it needs. After i decide on a final design on the sculpts it will be time to make the tint maps and then to the steam workshop. Open Closed Ok so I havent given up on this at all I've just havent had a whole lot of time where I could work on it as school work has eaten all of my spare time. now that finals are almost over I should have this done Soon™ Edited December 17, 2015 by Issun135 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dillon_J Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 the ornamental part is pretty massive but i like the cloth part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Connor Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I think this is a bit larger than the izvara, which DE says is the upper limit for syandana size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Issun135 Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 I think this is a bit larger than the izvara, which DE says is the upper limit for syandana size. I'm aware of this, its slightly longer than the Izvara but its not as wide at the bottom. I'll upload a picture of them together when I can and the rigid parts may be a bit too wide/long but in terms of the lotus flowers its actually not that bad. Considering that Rhino's shoulders may be wider than it. I also need to find a model of Saryn so i can fit it on her to really see if its too big.

I can't use this model b/c i don't have Blender and i can't find a .obj anywhere. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could probably convert it to an Obj and maybe do this for some of the trickier frame bodies for scaling purposes. Currently not at home so I'll have to do this then.

Guardiavoir Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I think that the giant medallion could be smaller, but other than that, it looks pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protomorph Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 My feedback is that this looks kickass and I would buy it. I hope it makes it into the game. I like how the lotus symbol is the basis for the medallion pattern. Best of luck to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkfear Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Looks too big to me, I honestly don't think that will work well while playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKillerApp Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Looks too big to me, I honestly don't think that will work well while playing. Exactly my thoughts about this. If tonned down a little in terms of size/diameter, could be indeed a very good idea for a Syandana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nefas895 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) Can you not use lotus sigil on the syandana? They don't like it and also mentioned in the guidelines. :) Edited November 12, 2015 by Nefas895 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Issun135 Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 Can you not use lotus sigil on the syandana? They don't like it and also mentioned in the guidelines. :) I think im allowed to use warframe based resources to make a syandana for warframe also someone made a new loka syandana and got accepted. What they mean by dont use material thats not yours is from other games or anything thats copyrighted. If its warframe themed its fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I made the design before i was aware of using the warframe logo. but i think its more of not using our own logos or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Issun135 Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 Well I guess its time I post something regarding progress. Its been on hold for a few weeks due to school and other things. But I havent given up on this. I should have more progress to show this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
