]Looking better!

Vizor could be a little shaved down on polygon use. A lot of polygon's there that do "not" get used.
Yeah, I really didn't know what to do with the visor. There are some funky shapes which warranted me using all the faces I really didn't want to. I've since cleaned up the underside, it's a lot less faces.
And one tip: You might want to keep a straight vertical cut in the dead smack middle of the helmet when looking from behind. It will make mapping the helmet tons easier eventualy.
I actually had one. (I moddled one half, and duplicated it over. I guess I had a brain fart and was on the whole "Lower the poly count' mindset. That can be easily fixed, because the midpoint of every one of the lines is dead center.

Why? Because you split the helmet in two. Which means you can just toss away one half. Perfect the shape and mapping on the half you have left. Flip it over as a duplicate to the other side (the two side are symetrical anyways). Fix the mapping by adjusting the flipped side (make sure to flip it's mapping, else you'll end up having mirrored mapping on one side of the helmet). Attach both sides to eachother again and weld.

Hope that helps you.

And I sent the helmet to DDMX, so I'm going to let him do some stuff with it, make it more realistic, as he owns the helmet in real life. He's also going to boolean the mouthguard, among other things.


Anything else you guys want modeled?

I was thinking about modeling a nice stadium. Sam Boyd maybe, or a actual dome, like New Orleans.


So, what do you guys want?

Sam Boyd, generic dome, or a baseball/football/baseball only combo stadium? (I.E. Anahiem?)

snowmobile

snowmobile

I already made a F5 on my old computer. It hit the sack pretty quick.


I really want too, but the only way I would put that in game is if JLV put some ski/track/motor/transmission/snow/side to side lean in.

Really, as of right now, quads and sleds are out of the question.

generic dome

You might want to avoid Boolean unless you know very clearly what you are doing. Becuase that tool makes a mess out of your model within seconds!

[FactoryBR21]

ahow ! ladies's fight lol
I remeber from i was a litte kid my older sister hard some barbies and i made them to fight one time haha that was really fun. Hahaha

Factory used to play with BARBIES!!!!!!! haha

Wings3d doesn't even have it. There is no way to fix the way I modeled it. This was the first MX helmet that I made, so really, I had no idea what I was doing.

I'll just leave the other stuff to DDMX.

[FactoryBR21]

Hahaha , i wouldn't be sure by what i know he gave this game up again.

[RaNDoM HeRO]

CR500..............................

I think a 450 and 250 would be in order before a 500. haha.

snowmobile

Why a snowmobile? Couldn't be too much fun to ride around a fridge with treads on a dirt bike game.

[Jonathan]

downhiilbike ora bmx..............................

[JETZcorp]

Agreed.

Though I do understand the appeal of a snowmobile (there are some unique physics that would be cool to play with) I can't see it in the same game as a bunch of MX bikes. Then there's quads, which give you the speed of an MX bike, but with the line-selection difficulty and "I'm not going very fast" feeling of four wheels. Also, as far as real-life goes, you have to worry about being crushed by the damn thing. I can't imagine a way to get crushed by a 215lb bike, but those monsters are a different story. I just don't get the appeal for anyone other than bare novice. But I digress.
