(2002) - Early 3D Models

Uploaded these old models from 2002 to show any students I guest lecture that everyone starts out somewhere. I can see how students get intimidated by the portfolios & artwork on ArtStation, but it’s important to keep in mind that person started out in a similar position to them once.

These models were done way back in the day when I was modding Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis in my evenings after art college. They're all in the 3k~3.5k region including interiors that OFP required. I think I only did pure modelling back then. Someone else handled the UVs & Texturing. Then another getting it actually working in game. Different world back then.

FYI: I’m not saying this is how you should model. I mean, damn, just look at those 6 sided wheels! 😂
