CaptainTagada Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) Alright so i started working on a tenno hammer / jat kittag mdoel swap recently and started modelling it, here's a glimpse of my work atm. feel free to leave a comment if you'd like something to change /!\ It's my first time using blender after watching a few videos on youtube so it might lack some technical thingy but i'm trying to learn Edited July 4, 2018 by Tagadabiiatch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainTagada Posted June 23, 2018 Author Share Posted June 23, 2018 Soooooo, considering the fact that i'm only beginning in 3D, I decided to try by something easier, that's why i also started a grineer-ish sword / machete. As always, critics are wellcomed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zahnny Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Feels a bit too square and boxy for Grineer design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started working on a more round-ish version that suits the grineer style better ^^ It's still in progress so don't worry about the wierd things at some places, i'll try to get to the sculpting soon. I'll searc what weapons i can use to sculpt that to something cool looking, probably the Machete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainTagada Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 progress on the sculpting so far : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrellingHazmot Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Try not to go too dense too soon. Make sure you have solid primary and secondary shapes before you sculpt all your details. Get Zbrush http://pixologic.com/ it'll make your life easier for sculpting. You can get the demo or buy Zbrush Core for $150 usd. It'll be worth the investment.

Swaggernaut64 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Also I would recommend going back to your base model and work on the silhouette a bit more, the grineer aesthetic is very bulky and bulbous usually, right now your machete looks like a mix between corpus and grineer, mainly the handle looking more grineer and the blade more corpus. Also from a technical standpoint, I would recommend separating your model into separate parts and sculpt each part separately. Makes the workflow more easier to work with and maintain, as well as make it look better. Right now it looks as though everything is just mushed into one, which I don't think is what you want. in Blender, you can select all in object mode, press P, then choose how you would want to separate it. I would recommend separating by Loose Parts, then joining the parts that are similar. Good Luck! There's lots to learn that will become extremely rewarding in the end.

Thanks for the feedback ^^ i made it look bulkier and reworked the shapes to start from something new and better, here's how it is now (still far from finished), it's getting better, still need to figure out how to grineer-ize the blade, i'd like some rust and paint but any other idea is wellcomed 🙂 Also i tried to work with basic shapes first and I just starting detailing as you told me @FrellingHazmot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swaggernaut64 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Denifitely looks better now! Keep going! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainTagada Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 Thanks alot 🙂 also any idea how i could make the tubes look fancy ? i'm note quite sure yet, i've got a few ideas though, didn't have time to test them sadly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreddeth Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 While it's not strictly necessary to remove all the boxy-ness from the blade if you're going for a Grineer look (referencing the Twin Cleavers and the OG Machete/Machete Wraith here), a lot of Grineer bladed weapons, and Grineer melee weapons in general, have drastic curves that bulge out like metal tumors and add an impression of mass to the general area you'd expect to hit something with. For example, the Krohkur, Kesheg, Twin Basolk, Ripkas, and Sheev. Not graceful gradual curves like Tenno weapons. Rather, they are abrupt, even protruding. They almost look like someone took their hands to the metal and bent and crushed them into shape, especially with the Sheev. If I might make a suggestion, change the part at the back of the blade where it angles back to become slightly wider. Instead, try making it curve outward even more abruptly, so that the widened portion has a lump-like quality to it. That should definitely make the blade look more like a Grineer implement as opposed to a sharpened Prova. This might end up making it look a little too top-heavy, to which I'd suggest altering the size or angle of the teeth, but it's hard to envision how one might make changes from there without a solid idea of what the bulge would look like.

CaptainTagada Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 Alright so i've been testing things and i ended up with this, still trying other things though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainTagada Posted July 3, 2018 Author Share Posted July 3, 2018 I also have this alternative version with the spikes going straight, tell me which one you prefer ^^ i would go for this last one personnally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlada91 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Just delete art from first post and add your new 3d art progresion. So that if someone enter and see what you did not live just because all he see is some bad art and not 3D and thats it. And what I see this in the end looks cool. Just fix the handle for now and that's it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
