Description
Made in 3ds Max 2009. Sculpted in Mudbox 2009. Textured in Mudbox 2009 and Adobe Photoshop CS4.I did the best I could at the skin. But for a small, fast, and swarming little critter, it'll do.

biologically unsound. Not your fault, just the new zergling is an evolutionary step backwards. It's far too bulky, and due to it's messed up center of gravity it seems it would often fall on its face. It would be far better suited to the niche of a scavenger than a voracious pack animal.
Sorry I needed to get that off my chest X:. Now I must say I really like your rendering. The texture of the protruding veins is quite good.

isnt its back covered in small plates?

I tried to UV map one of these but it was not dead.
Ouch!
*fingers scars*
Looks great.

That is a great model. Details and mapping are freakin' great.

GOD! That's just so incredible! The Mapping and Textures are really awesome! It's looks ready to pwn!
'scuse me while I hide down a deep hole and never come out... DX
BTW. FAVED!

Heh, that's awesome, I love zerglings, now I can see them in 3-D! And I have no clue how to use modeling software.
To runaway danish: The reason they don't do this quality in starcraft 2 is because not all computers can handle it, imagine, this is probably 10k-5 million polygons
Rendering that at 10-100 fps is kinda daunting is it not, not to mention you have to store that in the memory which means alot of ram is needed, for cds, they only need to read the data.

Yeah, the standard gaming machine can hardly run Crysis in Very High over 30 Frames per Second, so you'd assume that like 12 of those would crash someones computer XD

I crashed my comp once:
a.bat(located in C drive)
start c:\a.bat
start c:\windows\notepad.exe
start c:\windows\notepad.exe
start c:\windows\notepad.exe
start c:\windows\notepad.exe
start c:\windows\notepad.exe
and then I ran it, took a good 5 minutes though

Good thing it wasn't an xbox360, otherwise your avatar would be freakishly appropriate.
Mine could only be the explosion of the solar system... badly drawn

Haha, well there you go

Eh, no the base model is just about 2,000 polygons and the final rendered model is just over 280,000
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh well, I was just making a random guess.
But still, the machine does have to final render everything, which would be 280000 polys every 1/20th of a second... I'm currently rendering a cloudscape that has 10-50k micro-triangles(half pixels?) and it's taking 10 minutes, but... it DOES have to run a bajillion calculations on my 1.7 Gh processor

Good job on this... Wish Starcraft 2 had textures that developed...

I wanna' know how you did that. Absolutely awesome!

It'd be interesting seeing some wings on this guy. =]
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I kinda don't think wings are appropriate. It makes it look like a cricket, lol. Anyway, the current model of the SC2 zergling had their wings taken out.

Beautiful. The amount of detail is incredible. It's like I can see every pit, nick, scar, scrape and scratch on its hide.

I'd probably make a tutorial on how to make a skin texture but not before I perfect the technique first

I wonder how many days you worked on this before your base mesh worked out. or is Mudbox really that easier to use than zbrush?
Its a stunning low poly result thats for sure. And it would be interesting to see how you unwrapped the critter, i mean how your final uw map looked before exporting it to mudbox. Since it seems doing that is mandatory even for zbrush. Sadly MudBox 2009 is way too expensive for a simple sculpting tool which only works in conjunction with *another* high end render package
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LoL, you can use it with any 3d application that supports displacement/normal mapping. And UV mapping is mandatory for every sculpting program because they extract the sculpted detail as a texture map.
I had to make sure that the base mesh is 100% quad for best smoothing results. Since the base mesh is very low poly (2,000 polygons), UV mapping was just the matter of selecting a group of polygons and using either a planar or cylindrical mapping on them and then relax the vertices to eliminate stretching. And then repeat the process on other parts and arrange the UVs until the model is fully mapped.

Mhh, well i will give Mudbox a try soon. The trial is there to dl so i'll test it
Im a complete stranger to organic low poly modelling, and you make it look so simple! ;(
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Simple? Haha that's after more than a year of experience mainly because there are very few people and also very few tutorials out there that helped me about this subject. My learning pattern was mostly trial-and-error. I make a model, then I get frustrated because it sucks, go on a hiatus for a few days, then I attempt to try it out again and learn from my mistakes.

ang galing mo ah, parang realistic

Yeah, with you submitting all these top renderings i got the impression you sit for 2 hours and whip something like this up without breaking a sweat! Without endless hours of trial and error.. don't destroy my illusions
The sad reality is organic modelling and sculpting probably takes just as long to get right as modelling cars properly ,( Atleast its a big help for modelling humans.. now i just need to find my graphic tablet and get practicing

how did you smooth it so much. its looks amazing.
