Here are some sketches, LotR stuff from 2004 or so. One of The Crow about 98 or so. Here is one of Vegeta I did a while back. Dian Wei from Dynasty Warriors from 2001 Air brushing pic of my wife from 01 Here are some 3D renders, mostly from Bryce. Weapons first. The last batch.... Abstract concepts just using basic shapes and lastly some early bryce work of some alien crafts. Much like the last 2 above, some were rough. I was not yet using math for the x,y,z coordinates, so they were not perfect. Edited by stinger9142, Oct 14 2012, 11:43 AM.

I want to start doing more pixel art too

Some of my models took 6 or 7 hours to do, nowhere near as complicated as your whole room. I had plans to do a chainlink fence and gate, complete with a chain and padlock. It was a challenge to come up with ideas that could only use basic geometric shapes. Bryce 4, was pretty limited, as was my understanding of it at the time.

If you ever create something that could be played by any of us on the forum then you should definitely share it here. Maybe Cooper can make a new N64 game which is somewhat viable now that reproduction N64 cartridges are being produced. Wouldn't that be EXTREMELY cool if a new N64 game got released this many years after Nintendo stopped selling the console? Anyone looking for inspiration on what modern N64 game to make should refer to this thread for ideas. N64 games you would love to exist Edited by Grizzmeister, Apr 24 2013, 11:08 AM.

Its a large group project in future classes Also, if I can make an N64 game somehow, some day, I will. I will make it happen.

I will make it happen. If you needs funds maybe we can take up a collection here. I'm sure every member of N64 Forever would love to get a copy of a brand new Nintendo 64 game made by a member of the community for the community. If you would need any help with writing or concept art I'd be happy to contribute. In fact, you can even borrow my idea from the short story Conflict in that wizards can battle via their toy-sized magical manifestations.

That would be awesome, but I am very far off from even attempting something like this. I have no idea how they are made, what engine (if any) they use, etc. Honestly, I'm closer to making a PS4 or Xbox 720 game than an N64 one :/

Veteran Posts: 1,440 Group: Senior Members Member #611 Joined: September 16, 2011	Made this today in about 6-7 hours. 100% from scratch in Photoshop. This is a hand painted texture, and is used in games such as World of Warcraft, League of Legends, Diablo, etc... Most textures for games are more realistic, and are basically combinations of photos / reference. Games like Call of Duty, Dead Space, and Uncharted use those types of textures.
