I'm here again for those who remember (and some may have seen my web page url going around
Ruohis.com ), back from military (well been back for over 9 months now),
but now i'm back to give models to the people

Saw some msg about my work when browsing the web, then i noticed this place was back up so thought i'd
register and get the modelling scene going again.

My modelling and texturing skills have improved since i last did anything, curently working on a high detail,
high poly, faithfull model set that i almost abandoned about a year ago.

View my Progress(updated!)

Allrighty, what's going on since i first started this post... well for starters, I'we joined the Quake Remodelling
Project (http://facelift.quakedev.com/remodel).

To save truble i'we added links to current models that are avalible to download for testing so that you can
better comment on my work.

For those who liked the first b_model pack: (Edit 2012: This is lost unless someone has the original)

both look pretty nice from the renders

will be interesting to see ingame shots

welcome back, i remeber the nick and first thing that came to my mind was MODELS!

nice, give us some mooo

ruohis! \o/

Ahh, Ruohis I've been waiting for you to come back, dude Welcome back!

Ruohis = Plague? Those samples look very much like those found in Plague's pak.

Being a 24bit md3 model junkie I cannae wait to download and try ur models dood, tried all the ones on ur website at one time or another but prefer models that keep the look of original quake. The RL pic looks sweeeet!!

ui if you've no seen Ruohis's webby the here u go http://www.kolumbus.fi/ruohis/home.htm

Yes, very much welcome back Ruohis. You'r models are 'teh bestest', and you should give a shot at remodeling other items also. Not only weapons. We need a new nice quad,pent,ring and everything.

a new sg first! there are no and I mean NO really beautiful sg-models

Peppe: Do you see a beautiful shotgun model further up this thread or is it just me?

I've seen the site in question, but the pictures given in this thread are unquestionably identical (or as close as it gets) to the sg and rl models from Plague's pak.

daaamn, wasn't expecting this many replies, thanks guys

yeah... they look a bit the same. That's because plague pak models are very faithfull, but those where only previews i posted. I will try to add more personal touch and rounder shapes. havning some problems now with vertice count. it has to be under 2048. when converting to mdl the count goes over 3k even though in max it's only 1k, so it looks like i'll start out with md3, havn't done that before so have to do a quick studie how the textures work

just compared the plage pak models and well, the shotgun does not look the same, just similar, but seriously, how can you do the barrel in any other way?
and for the rocket launcher, there's not many other ways of doing that either, the handels on my are different for one thing.

and yes, i'll do other models, i actually have models for the quad and pentagram ready in 3d max format, back then i had truble getting two rings rotating around them in mdl format, this should be no problem in md3

yeahaa, but it's not out yet : ( and there's no skin either

yeah but i'ts close to beeing out, first models to be ready will be the v_shot, g_rock2, v_rock2 in md3 with 512x512 24bit textures and fire effects, witch reminds me still have to find some nice texture for the fire effect.

all i have to do is animate this and export it


textures look like this, as you can see the shotgun barrel still looks like crap, but this is all preliminery texturing. first i render the texture then i make the final tuches with psp or photshop...


An inagme shot of the g_rock2.md3, not yet quite finnished with the texture.


wont release the rocket launcher before both v_ and g_ models are finnished, shouldn't take that long with the v_ model once i finnish the g_ model texture.

welcome back ruohis. beautiful work so far! i'm very stoked to see your new models for the powerups at this moment.

like the idea? the rings rotate. this is still a mdl and the animation looks really bad, not to mentione the textures.
this could only be done in md3, i supose.

havn't some truble with exporting animation to md3, but i'll figure it out eventually, as mentioned before, havn't done md3:s before so if anyone has any pointers on animation, please feel free to save me some time and share your info

ruohis welcome back, i was waiting for u already Damn nice models!Awesome

ooh that's sexeh 8)

yea, could work. but _i_ think u should scale down the Q a little. even more gyro-inspired.

I think it's got too much Q3 feeling to it, what with the rings and all. I like it better plain and simple.

Ruohis, about your Rocketlauncher Model:


Here are two screenshots of Plague's models which will help me explain:






Here was my reply to him:


I can't really tell from your screenshots, but please take this into consideration... a fat rl doesn't look so good =(

Ruohis I have request for you. Your models are great, but they are listed by f_modified. Could you make 24bit skins for original weapon models (both g_ and v_). They would look better and be legal. I'm waiting for your answer.
I know that you have a lot of job to do, but maybe you would find time for this.
Regard

yeah to minimize the Q would be better

Currently: http://www.kolumbus.fi/ruohis/temp/ingame1.jpg
give me your thoughts about that and i'll see what i can do... (still have to add more detail and animate it)


Hasn't someone already done that? i would recall seeing 24bit textures to the original models somewhere, or are you thinking more like textures that look like the ones on my models, so it would be a kind of low poly version of my models with the same texture?


Well there already is a quad like that, a plain simple Q, just with a bit more polygons to give it a smoother look. And yeah, this is just an idea i had.
But sure, i can always do another simple Q, Pentagon and ring if there are people who would use them. But at some point i'll do the ring thing.

And to those others who commented on the rings, yeah, i'll make the Q inside smaller, doesn't show on the image but ingame the rings go through the edges of the Q

Yeah, I think yours is the same a bit, Ruohis. I would make the bottom shaft of the rl (closer to the player) a bit thinner, and the ears maybe a little longer and more aerodynamic. Maybe it will look better?

Go ahead do pentagon

Yes I've found few skins on original models, but only v_ skins for sng, gl and rl and that's all :/.


Yes it would be great if you could do that .

yes! please reskin (24 bits) the original models too (as faithful as possible)

take example from the Quake Revitalization Project. they did an awesome job with the health, ammo boxes and armours.

hm, if a rl is "fat" or not, arent that depending on the users fov?
