there all nice but hamster ball is  awesome

[anomaly]

wow, sweet stuff man. i still cant get over how those look like 3D CAD drawings.

[Smackintosh]

Thanks! I'm hoping we can use the hamster ball vehicle, I really want to drive it around.
I'll have to check out CAD 3D and see if it's that hard to use. Blender's not bad considering that it's free.

[Drem]

Sure have some great artistic talent Smack. That would be awesome if we could put all your designs into a top selling game! I'd sure as hell buy it!

[Smackintosh]

Thank you Drem! I will try! Most of the models are going to be put into a game we are working on now. 50%+ completion.

so what kind of game

[Smackintosh]

It's a first person shooter, for now it's called "Vanilla". It will have a large selection of weapons and we're trying to steer clear of the standard fare arsenal. We want crazy weapons and vehicles.

A minigun, a dynamite shotgun and a crossbow are implemented into the game already. The graphics engine was recently upgraded for $500. There's still a lot of scripting work to be done in Torque. I'm pretty much working on the models and texturing.

Soon I'll be working on actual maps. I have to learn Torque Constructor and some light scripting to make breakable models.

Maybe. Interesting. I'll pass it by my game design crew. We figured out that we can use Hammer to make maps for our game, rather than Torque Constructor. I have to get into the mapping mood more than the modeling mood soon.

I actually held one of the models I made last week (the pump shotgun). A friend of a friend runs one of those big expensive machines like this one> http://www.dimensionprinting.com/ He has to print something every few days or the machine gets clogged up or something. So, he has to look for models, he offered to print some of ours for free.

I have some twisted ideas for it's use. I was told to make them fully textured and as detailed as possible, I can't wait to see the results on the few I sent his way.

those are awesome for quick prototypes.... i cant wait till they become a standard at your local Kinko's!
