More detail, smoother edges, smaller tip... and then you got yourself a descent obelisk! _________________ http://www.ppmsite.com/forum/files/tifansig1_copy_180.png[/img][/url] QUICK_EDIT
looking fairly decent. is this gonna stay low-poly?
well some suggestions
the red pyramid top, appears to be floating.
. and beveling your edges so there not so hard ie "straight on 90 degree angles".
I also suggest just one more extrusion to get the contour seen in the TD obelisk. and for the eyelets the remappable dots, ring and connect the middle edges down the obelisk and at each vertex, you can chamfer them and extrude or bevel the faces as you want.
well hope that helps. _________________ Delirium.. QUICK_EDIT
It's quite good for a first. The red tip/crystal should be a bit smaller, and it should have red dots along the middle of the "stinger", but it's quite good otherwise. _________________ "Banned" RP here QUICK_EDIT
Just because he's on the list of most noobish people on earth doesn't mean we can ignore his work if it's close to half-decent. We can only do that with Sevelys, who is not among us anymore ...
Anyhow, It needs a sharper tip, a more smooth design, not just a triangle on a stick. Add things like small wires, pipes, lights, etc. . QUICK_EDIT

I'm not saying his work is shit, his n00k silo is quite good. But his attitude is..
By the way, you might wanna take a look at the Renegade Obelisk, that seems quite accurate to the TD version.. unlike.. well.. everything else. _________________ "Banned" RP here QUICK_EDIT

Honestly dude, my comment was perfectly acceptable and reasonable. I could have gone "Wtf thats a piece of stupid shit", but instead I gave reasons as to why I thought it could be improved upon? _________________

@BrianPrime:Ermmm, he means that your comment ''that looks absolutely dreadful'' was not that appropriate seeing as this is his first try....
It's not that bad for starters seeing as he has not finished it yet... _________________ http://www.ppmsite.com/forum/files/tifansig1_copy_180.png[/img][/url] QUICK_EDIT
Its actually quite good you know, just perhaps change the holders of the ball to completely red, the stands- a few more details and perhaps smaller.
Otherwise thats a good start! _________________ http://www.ppmsite.com/forum/files/tifansig1_copy_180.png[/img][/url] QUICK_EDIT
Do not post work unless it is of a quality that you feel would look good in the game it is intended for.
Otherwise such comments as mine are perfectly acceptable.
It is not finished yet!
He is just asking for ways to make it better and to finish it. _________________ http://www.ppmsite.com/forum/files/tifansig1_copy_180.png[/img][/url] QUICK_EDIT
It could just be me, but I thought the point of this forums was for FINISHED models to be posted for download, not to ask advice on how to improve something that is unfinished. QUICK_EDIT
- Only include finished models. If you wanna help to solve problems on your model, post the model in Media Hut and ask help there.
can a mod move this. please
and to your model "obelisk of light"
make it out of one mesh, instead using 5 or 6 deformed boxes.
Then you don't have these ugly,not fitting,overlaying edges at each section.
If you want to come close to the TD Obel then you should take a look on a screenshot of it. Yours doesn't come that close to it in its shape nor its texture. Else it's a quite good start.
But until you show a render of your models, showing how they would look ingame, i think your models aren't worth a download. Because for a more skilled 3d-modeler these are done in 5 minutes.
Oh, and for the lighting of your Iron curtain: add a light source that only affects the ambient color and throws no shadows. Then you don't have these dark shadows and light everything up. Last edited by Lin Kuei Ominae on Wed Aug 15, 2007 5:07 pm; edited 1 time in total QUICK_EDIT
Obelisk:
Needs more detail (at the moment it's mostly flat mesh).
Needs more/better texturing (why is the middle bit textured but the top/bottom isn't?).
You need to make things like the door fit better, look at actual doors of a similar nature to the one you're making (I assume they're supposed to be sliding doors, so look at real examples of sliding doors) and adapt that to fit with your model.
At the moment the doors and the cylinders on the side just look like boxes/cylinders put on the side.
Speaking of the cylinders, make them something rather than just cylinders.
The base doesn't fit at all. Either make it fit the structure better or remove it entirely.
Hopefully that helps a bit. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
He needs to learn how to use the extrude tool and probably follow some tutorials on how to make basic models in general. Its nice that he's learned how to make primitives and do some basic transforms on them, but that won't help you make good models. QUICK_EDIT
Excellent site, but I don't think that kind of modelling is very usable for creating in-game low-poly non-organic stuff. Just extrude, extrude, extrude . _________________ Time will tell...

Since when is the Obelisk a black banana with a red nose?
1. remove the smothing groups
2. improve the 3dmodel
3. add textures
4. add a camera (othographic projection marked) with an angle of 63° at 0,-2500,1300
5. add 2 lightsources (1 Omni with Multiplier=0.4 no shadows and Ambient only; 1 Omni with Multiplier=1.0 with shadows) at -500,-100,1000 _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings

Hey Reborn, might I mention its actually a pleasure to see you back on better conditions this time, rather then posting all that copy+paste work, you actually did something from scratch...Now then, how to improve this....More Polys, and definably work on the overall design. _________________ ...
