After a test-week at school I wanted to do something different to put my head off the hectic school-stuff for a day. Since I draw a lot of soldier concepts during courses, I decided to do a low-poly soldier model. This is the results, 250 poly's for the soldier and 50 for the gun:The skin is temporarily, done in Paint for the moment since it's just about the correct uvmapping for now, but I think it turned out well for 300 poly's.

Cool.
Looks like a good model for one of those old army games

Aww, what a cute soldier!
It's definately a great start: the body doesn't look out of proportion or grossly deformed, so I think you can easily up the poly count to create a more detailed model. Good work.

Agreed exactly.

Heh, thanks.
I'm not really going for a high-poly version, it's more a test to see how low I can get the polycount while still keeping the shape intact. I've created it with the use in a RTS in mind, not a FPS, so maybe I've already put it too much detail for something you see from afar most of the time.
Or are you guys thinking about a HLDM player model or such?

Not a player model, an NPC.

I love it! It reminds me of the good ol ROM days such as Nintendo 64, Goldeneye 64 is a good example, the player models looked just like yours, it would be perfect for a HL1 Goldeneye type mod.

Looks pretty cool Captain P! I love the gun too!

You play halo? The gun looks familiar....

The gun looks like the red faction assult rifle

its funny because that's more detailed than the men on C&C Generals

It's indeed (much) more detailed as the Generals infantery models:
Then again, I don't know the poly count for these units but I'm guessing it's somewhere near 150 poly's. Anyway, I found the Generals units to look too undetailed. Not a bad decision because there's no real unit maximum like in Age of Empires or Total Annihilation, but I wanted to give my model some more detail.
As for the gun, it's not a Halo gun, not really inspired by it either. It's a design of my own, a little influenced by a gun from Stalker.
I'm working on something extra for this now so there's a new shot coming soon...

I think this is a wonderfull opportunity for you tee how good you are with C++, so try making some simple ai for the the model.

School has wonderful opportunities too, like writing a logigram solver or a scripting language parser for a self-made language...
And, yeah, I'm planning to write some AI for this but not in the near future. School's to busy for that right now, I can do some modelling this weekend but after that it's hard work ("this is hard work, can I have shoes?") again. Meh.

So whats this school you speak of? Is it a school that teaches you to code and model?

There're plenty "Game design" colleges and universities around.

I do a programming course, not a modelling one. I map and model for fun, I program for school (and sometimes, for fun too).
Has anyone suggestions to make this trooper look less cute and more mean?

School just stresses me a lot sometimes, it's probably not that bad but recently I found it hard to get to work for it, and nearing deadlines is something I don't like... but ok, I'll stop mentioning it.
Yeah, SpaG, I'm still working on the textures but that's a point, it looks rather cartoony right now.
Anyway, I promised some new shots of what I'm working on now:
The APC itself is 370 poly's, with the trooper in it it's 510. Could be optimized a bit because I just quickly copied the upper part of the trooper I already did to it.
It uses a 128x128 skin but I think it's too low-res for it, it doesn't look as sharp as the trooper does. Still working on it.

Could be good for a Sven co-op cartoon map!
Whats the aim anyway? You just showing off or you going to make these models work?

I'm probably going to use them for one or another RTS, dunno exactly yet, but they're made with RTS usage in mind.

Niice..
Work a lil bit more wit the textures and you'll have yourself a nice low-poly grunt..

Thats really low! They look like a strategy game's models. And they really good for that perpose. As for 3D shooters...I prefer models with more polies!

They're not meant for a FPS so that's just right... These models have less poly's than the original HL models, let alone those from the HD-pack so they're no good in current FPS anyway...
Thanks for the comments people.
