Model description       :

 

Model based on the ©Games Workshop WARHAMMER 40K character:

 

-WarpSpider©-

These deadly alien warriors fight for their very survival as they attempt to regain some of their former glory. Thin, graceful and inhumanly quick, Eldar warriors are encased in armor of psycho-responsive wraithbone which shields them in combat as they whirl through the enemy with furious efficiency. By utilizing their arcane technology and powerful psychic abilities, an Eldar army is a highly specialized fighting force which is devastating on the battlefield. Although they are few in number, every member of the Eldar race is trained from birth to serve as a warrior when battle calls.

Well, Here is my second attempt at creating low-poly game characters. My first was a WARHAMMER 40K Harlequin Warlock and was a weak attempt at best…

 

So geez, I really don’t know what to write here…

 

I created this model because I love the character design of the Warp Spiders, and I was curious what they would look like in 3D. I was hoping someone would create some Eldar characters, but I guess there are very few WARHAMMER fans out there. So I decided to make my own model since no one else did.

 

I am happy with the results, but “I NEED MORE POLY’S!!” So I might make my next WARHAMMER character 5,000 poly’s, and wait until I can get my hands on a game engine that will support higher rez models.

 

If you’re curious about my background:

 

I went school and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. I spent a year working in NY, then a year in NJ, then a year in MA, then a few months in CA… I’m really tired of moving….

I have worked on animated TV series, commercials, videogames, Stereoscopic Ride films, and feature films…  but at the end of the day, I prefer to work on games. Games are more fun…

 

I made this model during December 2001 while I sat a home unemployed looking for a job…. Anyone looking for a CG artist out there????   J

 

When I was five years old…. Just kidding…

 

I hope you enjoy the model,

 

Peace-

Huge thanks to:

 -Simon "Psychic_313" McVittie- for his great AMS tutorial. That tutorial was like a Rosetta Stone for creating UT game characters... Thanks

 

Also like to thank the guys who created "Space Marine 40k" model. I was inspired to bring this character into Unreal after seeing your Space Marine.

 

If anyone out there is interested in creating a WARHAMMER 40K mod, you can contact me at the email address below. I can model and map the characters, but I can’t animate them… so we would need an animator and some skilled programs…
