There's the odd thing.. The BOS *made* that Power Armor in Fallout Tactics, so it would be "new", but in every damned render of it you see, it's rusted and spotchy.

Oh yeah, the chest piece on your PA is way too small. PAs need bulk, even the FOT one.

Simply astounding. How long did it take you to make this?

Hey, why don't you do a real suit of PA now (as Saint_Proverbius said): the good 'ol actually-fits-in-the-retro-50's-style-setting-despite-being-really-high-tech T-51b?

It always worries me when I see two swording Guybrush's on my screen.

About textures, are you gonna go for a shiny new armor look or a worn and rusty piece of metal look?

I was going to texture it wit a rusty piece of metal look, what do you think?? Would you like it as a new armor or old one??

Thanks man!! To model i think it took me 6 to 8 hours, because i am a "newbie" in the 3d world!! for now this is my best model

Damn I looke for it but couldn't find one... I hope someone else does...

that does look pretty damn sweet.

i also model some, just started. im using Milkshape3d, i split the cost with my friend (he likes modelling too) so it was extrmemly cheep.

i made a model of a WW2 knife, that looks exactly like the one i have.

where can i get this Lighwave? i gotta try it out.

just a few suggestions:
make the mouthpeice a little wider, if you work with virtexes in lightwave, it shouldnt be very hard to drag them out a little.
make the head a tiny bit wider, and the "Fins" go straighter back.
yeaup, looks sweet.

Hey Strapon2 thanks for the compliments and is nice to see modelers around here!!! :D :D

If you want to try out Lightwave go to this link http://www.newtek.com/discovery.html this is a demo that the developers of lightwave are sending for those who want to try this software.

i would like to see you knife model!!!

and btw thanks for the sugestions, i will fix them as soon as i can.

I'd prefer the shiny new armor look, but you can do the rusty look later if you have time. :wink:

Milkshape3d is more of a modeller for games.

it was developed for Halflife, and it has plugins for like every quake engine game and a lot otheres. cause i used to map a lot for wolf, and quake.

thanks for the link, i gotta use these multimedia modellers for once.

I don´t know, have you tryed the link i posted?? there they will provide you a demo, and 3D studio can´t cost that much!! i bought lightwave for US$1200, and i love it!!

Ha!

oh, well, im just a kid, so i dont have that kind of money to throw around.

here: http://www.discreet.com/purchase/
its $3500 about.

i got MilkShape3d for $20! and i split it with my friend. it sucks compared to that, but i like it. especially if i want to have some fun, and screw around with a game.

i would buy that if i had the money, and nothing else to spend it on, but i just do this kind of stuff for fun. im gonna make a T51-b PA model, and we can compare them, and show how much better your's is, lol

does lightwave work with triangles? or curves that make odd shapes, ect..
more of a multimedia modeller than a game modeller. Milkshape is like for ingame models, and lightwave is more for the FMV sequences. my computer would explode if i tried to run that.
im pushing it on this 450 of mine.

but anyway, nice model.

Hey strapon2 go herehttp://www.wings3d.com , and you will found a great program for modelling and it´s free!!!!! Some people told me that this was an awesome software, you should try it.

Yes i know milkshape, i never had used it but i know that is a good software for modelling for games. I will be waiting for your Power armor model!!!!

I will post a version of my power armor with the right proportions later stay tunned (just kidding)
