Metroid 3d Modelling

[MBT808]

just decided to fool around and do some 3d models of the items from the metroid series. First is the standard missile(which I hope to maybe create or find someone to help me make a sprite for a zero mission mod):

It looks pretty good. Was inspiration drawn from anywhere, or did you just wing it? I thought an obvious inspiration would have been Prime, but it doesn't look like those. :^_^:

Thanks. I honestly drew inspiration from the metroid franchise as a whole when designing the standard missile, though Most  of my inspiration was from AM2R/zero mission but most of the design is my own ideas.

Ah, OK. Either way, I think Samus could potentially enjoy using yours more anyway. :wink:

well, if I can, I'm going to try and get it down to a size good enough for use as a sprite using Mage or see if I can find a spriter who could help me make a sprite based upon it. I've also got a super missile and powerbomb, but those I'm going to post later today.

Here is the super Missile that I created along side the regular missile:

I think you could do with slightly longer fins on that one. It's the one part that instantly screams 'missile', and a newcomer looking at your current one might not know. Enlarging the fins would make it much more obvious.

I kept the fins minimal on this to better match the Super Missile design(considering it has no fins what so ever in the original games(excluding prime))

[Quietus]

I'd assumed that was the reason. They should be nicknamed 'Stubs'. :grin:

not 3d stuff, but a concept page for my ideas for changing the beam sprites in metroid Zero mission(The power concepts are shitty, I know, but I couldn't seem to get it to come out quite right).

Your longest link in the world isn't working. :^_^:

Try Firefox

[Smiley]

I'm using Firefox and all I see is a black and white "No entry" traffic sign.

[MBT808]

I honestly have no clue then, cause it worked fine for me when I uploaded using Firefox a few hours ago.

[Quietus]

I'm also using Firefox. I think it's because you need some form of public link, as when I click on yours, it tries to take me into your Google stuff, and wants your login credentials.

I have no idea why, it shouldnt take you there, the link was for the image itself. I don't want to post on deviant art to post this here nor do I want to share it on the metconstruction discord(from what I can tell it servers no purpose).

[Quietus]

I think it's a Google restriction. You can go into your pics on Google Drive, and set their sharing options to 'public', which will then give you a link that people can click on, but you can't embed them with img tags.

Like so:

Or just use one of the many image hosting sites. :^_^:

Nice watermark! I think it belongs to deviantart though. It might be worthwhile to try coming up with original content!

original content? all the stuff posted here is mine.

Yup. All working fine. :^_^:

I like the look of the wave beam.

thanks, I based it on the wave beam design from fusion, I'm going to refine the design some more so I can hopefully use it in MZM(although might need a spriter, will try myself first).

I'm citing my dislike for the watermark that's more present than your 3D models.

well, not much I can do about the size of the mark, but I don't risk people stealing my stuff on that site

first attempt creating a sprite for the ice beam based on the previous image(feedback or help with this would be appreciated):
