==Update==
Anyways, here's an update of the arms. I was able to get a little sculpting today. The arms are maybe 60% done. Still need a lot of work on the form. Anyways, here's some images:

==End Update==
I've finished the third video tutorial (This is the first one done. I have to go back and finish the other two). The video deals with making the base model for your game character. Here are the video details:
Encoded with XviD
1 hour 5 minutes long
740 MB in file size
[url=http://www.archive.org/details/MikeJensenCharacterModelingForGames]Download[/url] (Left Cick)
Simply open the link, and right click "save file/target as" the link called "Unknown" (under play/download on the left hand side).
Hope you guys learn something from this! :)
P.S. - In this video I don't go over the basics in 3ds max. I'm working on that right now, and that will be the second video tutorial. The first being one teaching to color your concept art.

OK. I may not have your skills, but some things about the elite were bothering me, so I went into paint and did some quick paintover type things. http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/9271/eliteeditmx0.png Don't Laugh. Ok. I thought the lack of groin armour was stupid, because to me it just looked empty. Also, I tthink that its a bit stupid leaving this gaping armour hole right over the centre of the chest, so I thought some more overlapping plates would work, as their would be flex as well as the strenthg needed. Just my 2 cents. [Edited on 03.25.2007 9:28 PM PDT]

I would like to get into that business but i have never really got to use a 3d modeler or have a pc worthy of it :( If u have any suggestions on how i could get started plz let me know! thanx -BoBaLuGa- [Edited on 03.25.2007 9:12 PM PDT]

I really apologize for the time gone guys. I can't get these videos to encode. I used camtasia, and everytime I try to encode (techsmith, divx, xvid, sorensen 3, doesn't matter what codec) the filesize is enormous. Larger than my source data. In some cases, it gets up to 220 gigs large?? 200(kb/sec)*60sec*60min = 720,000 kb. I'm encoding without audio, and my movie is 4 minutes longer than So how is it then that my filesize is so large so early in the encoding process? now i'm at 13.5% rendered and my filesize is at 30 gigs. so once I get to 100 percent, my filesize will be around 100/13.5= 7.4*30gigs= 222gigs which means my bitrate is 222,000,000kb/60min/60sec = 61,666kb = ~62mb/sec... Which is completely wrong considering I told divx to do around 300kb/sec for my bitrate. If anybody has any knowledge on the subject, I'm all ears. Thanks.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Dark Spartan 218 what program did u use to create those?? [/quote] To keep him from saying it for a 3rd/4th time, he used 3ds Max, [url]http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?id=5659302&siteID=123112[/url] as well as a few other programs like Photoshop.

-
Is the program you use easy to use and [b]free[/b]. I happen to be trying something with Blender.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Mike Jensen Hey everybody. Yeah it's going a bit slow. I've never really modeled on video, and it makes me rethink how I can do things so it's easier for you guys to learn. Anyways, I've finished the base model, in the video, here's a sketch of the model I'll be walking you through: [url]http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s220/elitemodel3/demon.jpg[/url] As you can see, I'm no painter :) And here's the base model: [url]http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s220/elitemodel3/base_demon.gif[/url] Nothing really special so far. But I feel bad for not keeping you guys updated. The first few videos will be out after I edit them (*sigh*) and then voice over them.[/quote] That Demonic guy is BADASS!
