If character design, model humans.
If objects, model vehicles and guns.
If you're not committed to finishing vehicles and guns then just model power tools or something.

ikr
but what i ment is to not tell me to do a mech, or a complicated scene or anything crazy like that

just some ordinary objects is fine

>>526537
Whatever you're trying to model. Are you trying to model a specific type of car? Study about that car. Doing a steam powered train? Study about the train. Learn what each part does.

>>526541
This.

>>526537
To make believable machines study engineering in the sense that you start to understand the elementary physics and have an armchair understanding about why real-world artifacts are designed the way they are.
If there is a though process behind the way you construct nonsensical mechanical devices that will help lend some degree of plausibility to it which in turn will make the design more believable.

doing the bump

cannot judge without textures

Most games have rigged models as it's easier to animate with a rig and non destructive.

Polygon counts depends on the type of game. Uncharted 4 characters have upwards of 100k but an RTS might have just 5k.

Get xnalara and download some models from different types of games to get the best idea.

>>525945
Best to get into the habit of rigging controls and animating those rather than directly animating the joints. It's a little lazy doing it the latter way and on the plus side you get some practice rigging.

As for the poly count I second the comment above me. Definitely depends on the context: what engine, what genre of game, are the backgrounds 3d or mapped images, is the character a classic biped or something else. Last month I did some freelance character for a mobile game built in Unity and the guy asked me to keep the tris below 3k. There were a lot of props and the backgrounds were pretty dense.

Thanks for your help , that should help me out with my work.

decent execution, horrible design. honestly not one single bit of that design is appealing. Is it supposed to be like a Halo grunt? What are the too-large pipes on it's back? Why is the helmet the size of it's torso? It'stop heavy yet it has tiny skinny legs.

its good i guess

but... whats going on here?

>honestly not one single bit of that design is appealing
My main inspiration for this was a lot of more bulbous suits, instead of the blockbuster, Hollywood-esque iron man or call of duty type
body armors.

I'm deliberately going against the norm.
To go against expectations for emphatic response (two eyes, recognizable face features, two arms and typical familiarity) I made it faceless, asymmetrical with the one big arm, and two tentacles.

See pic for my inspirations.

It's a suit for scientists mining and extracting resources on asteroids, or other low gravity environments.

>What are the too-large pipes on it's back?
Tentacles for either grabbing difficult or dangerous stuff, or maneuvering in space along a space station while doing a spacewalk, repairing the station etc.

Just presenting it in substance designer for now. It still has to be rigged, then the final result will be rendered in v-ray.

A turn around so it's easier to understand what you're looking at.

>>522804
This'll be no help to you, but having come from stop motion animation and being part of the "do it the hard way" school of thinking I feel you should take complete creative control over your danglies and keyframe them. Maybe someone will come up with a clever answer after I post.

I'm a noob but isn't this the sort of thing that's handled by drivers or whatever?

Like isn't jangling tools the lesbian cousin of boob physics? Sorry if I'm a retard

Because it doesn't have the same amount of support as the industry standard stuff.

Blender is good but not as good as the others.

Look up at the top of your screen, where the URL bar is. Do you see the "4chan" in there? That's a good indication that you're going to be dealing with trolls and asshats.

This is basically the only reason why. It can do almost everything the other programs do but when something craps out late at night or you run into a problem, autodesk is just a phone call away 24/7. This is a big dealbreaker for any company.

Look at Avid and 99.9% of the editing world. Not too many films/shows get made in Final Cut or Premiere. that's why it's such a big deal when they are.

keep practicing with sphere and have lots of ref images

keep subdivision low until you read the nose lips and eyes, spend more time on the form until you reach those parts

Reference, reference, reference.

Also search for basic drawing tutorials, they teach you some usefull guides.
(A face should allways be arround 5 eyes long, and the distance between two eyes, one eye. The lips should be as long as the distance between the two irises.)

can someone dump some good human head reference images in this thread? I don't mean tutorials like the sticky has, but rather photographs of people like pic related.

thats how the scater looks, the black object is the one to distribute along its cape

any Ideas?

Is this some kind of chicken man with wrong colors?

>>526126
Dude there's millions of YouTube tutorials on 3ds max fur creation. Find one that is making the kind of fur look you want and copy it

these aren't ducks

Updated version. The mountains in the right back are placeholders.

I might need to add that this is inside a Game.

>>527113
i liked the older version better. the new update u added makes the foliage look unrealisticly condensed in a area with alot of shade that probably wouldnt realistically have as much

>>526809
if you were using geo this would be done

>>526812
software? plugin?
sorry never heard of it and cant find anything

>>526813
geometry

I sure hope you have a hell of a machine, OP because there will have to be a lot of displacement and particles goin on in that scene

>>523877
Well I thought in make it more simple, like make the ground with a texture and leaves over it but i'm not sure at all about it

>>523879
dont understand what u want man. u want it to look realistic? then yeah like that guy said u need displacement maps and badass pc. cos putting a texture on a plane with some leaves is gonna look like ur in world of warcraft
