3D Design

[Fuzz]

This isn't so much technical as it is just wanting some help. For my 3D design class final, we need to make a character that has facial features, limbs, fingers, clothes, hair, etc. and the other day in class, I was fooling around in blender and I modeled the scout's Scattergun. My teacher walked by and saw and asked about it, so I explained it to him. He said that the scout would make a good final project. Seeing as how I've got the gun, headset, and most of the hat done, I just need to make his body and clothes.

SO

I was wondering if anyone had a little free time and would want to draw the scout at several different angles so I can model him better. I've looked around on the internet for something to go off of, but I haven't had a lot of luck.

if you do that civilian class hack you can get a static pose of him with his arms out , then you could take screenies of him from front and side

Thanks for getting my hopes up, the TF2 Wiki says it's all been patched.

[rtil]

well i'm sure someone has taken scout's model and taken screens before, check google images

[Fuzz]

I've already looked for about an hour. It's all the same pose and then the pictures people on deviant art drew with the scout being all naked and sexy.

Well, I found some shots, thanks rtil. But now I'm just having a problem with the actual modeling.

I'm using Blender, and right now I'm sculpting the face. I'm having a problem where the nose meets the face. The best way I can describe this is, it looks like somone just pulled on a lump of clay. I'll post some screens when I have time, but does anyone know how to fix this so it looks more smooth and natural?

[rtil]

i can't help you without seeing the model

[Hnilmik]

In case you still need these~

Try adding more edges on the nose after it meets the face.

[Fuzz]

Wow, I've been busy... Thanks Shroomy, that actually did the trick. I just had to add more edges to make more faces, and then spread them apart a little more.

And thank you very much Hnilmik! That helps very much <3

Anybody have any tips on texturing eyes without extensive knowledge of UV mapping?

[rtil]

texturing and unwrapping an eye should be relatively simple. you didn't model unibody did you?

If I'm taking the meaning of Unibody in context correctly, no I didn't.

[rtil]

alright, then since the eye is a sphere whatever software you're using should be able to generate a very nice UV map for you. that way you can lay the texture on it evenly.

[Fuzz]

Thanks rtil! Any chance you know why the texture only shows up when I render the scene? I've got the view mode set to textured, so I'm not sure whats going on there...

[rtil]

i've never used blender so i couldn't tell you
