Artyom Model Mod (Metro 2033)

Wow, that is absolutely amazing! Great work! I wish 4A made some good concept art like this

In the first pic, Artyom and Khan are holding hands, or at least each others' arm. In the second, Bourbon's bayonet stabs Artyom's arm, and in the last one, Bourbon glitches into Artyom a bit (huehueheuhe). But other than that, I love the large HD in-action screenshots, they'd do well as desktop images. This is absolutely great, seeing Artyom beside the characters at known locations through the game, instead of just seeing screenshots of the other characters. I hope we'll see more of these in the future..

 

Firstly, these pictures are great and secondly, I knew 2033's graphics were good for their time but the graphics I see here would still challenge some of todays games

 

The guns, armors, gask masks, monsters and scenarios look great, but his face... God, it's unbelievable... And Metro 2033 is from 2010... Good job there, buddy.

 

The graphics are good and shiny indeed, but you can slightly see how they're not very 3D-ish when getting this close, for example in the pic where Artyom is shooting at that mutant, you can see the leather-belt-strap thing on his shoulder looks stretched out and painted on. But that's none of Downregulation's fault.

On the more serious side, these screenshots are absolutely fantastic and marvellous! I love the scenarios, the angles and everything. Ace for you, my friend!

On a side note, I'd like to mention that, in the picture where Artyom shoots at the mutant on the surface, there's some black rip in the picture on the mutant (What is that? ), and the mutant is pretty blurry. It also looks like Artyom's bullets are hitting the crotch of the dead guy in the background :lol:
I'm just saying, though. These minor details are not something one notices when looking at the beauty of these pics.

By the way, is it okay for you if I use some of these as profile pictures at different places, Downregulation?

 

The belt looks like it's painted because the developers wanted to reduce the numbers of polygons on the model, so that the game runs smoother. Everyone do this, but as you said, Skaara, you only notice when you get this close. It's because you are not supposed to get this close...
With the technology we have today, the animator can develop things in a much higher quality, for example, you can create individual hair strands, each one physically animated. The best example I can give is the character Elsa, from Disney's "Frozen". She have more or less 400.000 hair strands. If you try to do this is a game, your processor would fry trying to render the first frame.
And now I'm curious, how does Artyom looks like by default on M:LL? I know it's a lot of work, but perhaps some day someone will be able to show us the answer...
Oh, and I believe the black strip on the picture you mentioned is a bullet shell being ejected from the gun.

 

Ah, you're right, Vitormaduro, it is a shell!
But the model in these pictures are the model of Artyom. How the standard clothing is, I don't know, but that's his standard face at least.

 

Oh, I see, I was confused because Downregulation said it was a Eugine lookalike by default, and I didn't remembered who was Eugine, so I thought that Artyom didn't had a model for himself, and what we saw in the pictures is just a placeholder...
And I like Artyom's face, there's nothing special about it, he's just a regular 20 year old man, which really fits his background story.

 

What I think would be really neat, is thirdperson in the games. Of course, it wouldn't fit with the scenario. First person fits way better, as first person adds to the immersion and makes you really feel like it's you that are there, and not some other character that you're controlling. But still, it would be pretty cool if someone managed to make a thirdperson mod for the game, with this model.

 

Stellar work, Downregulation.

 

Artyom!

awesome, great work =)

 

Hahahaha, brilliant! I died! :lol:

Hahahaha, that cracked me up!

 

The premise got a good laugh out of me, okayish execution (should have been a shorter vid). Definitely need to turn down some video settings too for recording, should make the framerate more consistent and easier to watch.

 

That mobile GPU is no joke, but it's still a mobile one. My 660 TI (~20% more powerful in synthetic benchmarks) is borderline unplayable at 1080p, Max Settings (other than AA), usually in the 20-25 area (obviously ignoring those obnoxious light shaft areas that completely tank framerates). It's very GPU inefficient.
