Wireframe

Lowpoly version, retopologized and unwrapped in Blender, normals in xNormal, AO in Blender. Viewport capture.

These shots are from Blender’s viewport. I used Blender, Photoshop, xNormal, CrazyBump, and 3ds max. 3ds max was used only for one viewport render (to use Xoliul’s shader with fresnel).

Some more angles:

And some detail from diffuse:

I did a lowpoly normal mapped version of the dagger. Lowpoly made and unwrapped in Blender, normals baked in xNormal, viewed in 3ds max using Xoliul viewport shader.

Here is the wire:

Did for a competition at Next-Gen Hard Surface forum -> http://www.nextgenhardsurface.com

100% Blender, the image is actually a grab from viewport, with hardware antialiasing.

And a wire, my best so far:

That was hard to achieve in Blender, this tutorial helped.

I changed the concept – will show when it’s done.

I started modeling the JunkBot to improve my hard surface modeling skills.

The tricount could be lowered easily (her full body is under the suit and was counted), but as it is a personal project I didn’t bothered.

I took a little break from Ori (we had a fight about her shoes) and I really wanted to make something extremely low poly. So here is a 86 poly table, for a new scene, codename “Guardpost”.

Another gauntlet, which will go on the right arm.

I’m working on the lowpoly version now. The gauntlet is modelled in Blender, this render is made with 3ds max with ambient occlusion.
