Sig / Avatar / Desktop work

nice images
and i remember the background again

[foxUnit01]

Aye, I forgot to state this was rigged in the humble GMod. All things considered, it’s a great sandbox to do still shots in, especially considering HL2’s rich landscape-filled levels - there’s a lot of variety to work with when making these shots.

Thanks for the comments, guys. I’ll probably start doing more diverse stuff as I get better with posing the rigs.

Actually, you’re driving the buggy. And you forgot the nice part where you get to operate the huge crane in the background.

hehe… sweet idea… i was wondering how u got fox in there… lol

[foxUnit01]

Thanks Xarian. This was rigged in GMod10 - as for the model, I got it somewhere on the GMod site, though to be honest I can’t remember where.

I for the most part like how this came out, though I had trouble positioning the Tails rig on the bed; it wasn’t very cooperative, and took about a half hour to get it into a half-decent sleeping position. I was also a little disappointed I couldn’t find any sort of “backpack” model in the standard library, however I guess the equipment holster and the water jug are good enough.

Fantastic work FoxUnit01, Very creative use of GMod.

Not to detract from it at all, this is my little wallpaper I used to aggravate my wife. ;D
Installed this puppy, Hid all Icons and snickered like a three year old as she attempted to get Firefox to work!

I think she actually bruised my shoulder afterwords, but it was well worth it!

@Grey Wolf: Hah. I love doing that to people. XD

I need to find a better way to spend my time.

Inspired by the quote featured in the picture, from Kino’s Journey. A woman asks Kino this question after killing the man that shot her husband.

Tails doesn’t light indoors as well as I thought he would; I had to use some behind-the-camera lighting to smooth things out, so he ends up looking rather bright. Also, the right hand got a little messed up (what’s that thumb doing?), but I can’t go back and edit it so what’s done is done.
The blood on the floor is just an in-level thing, and I got it on the soldiers by shooting 'em up a bit with an SMG to simulate a few shotgun blasts. Shot the green one right in the nads on accident, but I guess war isn’t very fair.

I’m getting better at this whole ragdoll thing. Tails is a bitch to pose because the ragdoll is so compact; it’s hard to move only a certain limb without the whole rig having a party on you. Also, Source’s physics consider the ragdoll’s tails to be quite heavy, making balancing the rig for standing before freezing a headache as well.

Edit: Also, experimented with a different ragdoll. I don’t like it as much though, because the fingers can not be moved.

Smile for the camera, Tails.

Nice graphics mate !!

[foxUnit01]

Thanks. All these are rendered in Half-Life 2 / Source engine, using Garry’s Mod.

Also, a current work-in-progress:

Both lighting and camera angle need some work. As it is, it looks a little “floaty.”

Most of the bloom was done in Garry’s mod, with some extra diffuse glow being added in some of the pictures. I use poster edges are some of them.
