The Hovercraft

The model is for a game.

The game is on Unity 3d and there is a demo etc.

I design The Hovercraft to 5 models. The Engine, Seat, Wing, Wing, and the Front.

 

Model Poly:

26 Groups
2491 Faces
21 Materials

 

Nice!

 

That's a render?

 

Google sketchup?

 

Awesome concept, love it

 

Nice to see I'm not the only one who uses Sketchup. Is that a "concept" or supposed to be for in-game? If for in-game, I think you could do away with a bunch of material changes and polys, utilizing textures and normals. It also looks like you have some odd gaps and intersecting polys on the cowl and windshield.

 

You guys are great thanks.

Yes twitchfactor I like sketchup a lot. I can model fast with it.


UPDATE:

 

Do you have to have the Pro version of Sketchup to export models to use in Unity or to make animations?

 

Looks pretty good, Very stylized.. Personally I don't find modelling in GoogleSketchup effective, But I like it for concepting

 

I just played with Sketchup and it was incredible. Only problem is it costs $500 for the pro version. It does not appear the free version will export to any useful formats.

That seems awfully steep for a prototype/hobbiest tool.

 

The modeling in sketchup is great. I export to 3d max and it is like great.

 

You do not need Sketchup pro. You can talk to a guy that have sketchup and he can export all your model to obj..

 

PlayUptools.com (import complete scences from sketchup into unity without the need of Pro)

and...concept looks good, but way too many materials to be usefull for a game. Will it be textured any time?

 

you could also use collada and blender, with sketchup (not pro)...

but anyways cool hoverbike

 

Hi,

I can Texture it on Zbrush. I can work on it.

 

What version of Python do you need to import Collada files? Do they import okay?

 

Collada Exports on Sketchup great. It Exports all groups and everything.

 

that wind shield looks dangerous.. i suppose that main character has only one eye
