I know how hard it is for some people to create Meteors but I just found out a new simple way how to do them.
Here are 4 Moddels for now if anyone wishes any more or has a better skin I could redo the moddels or/and make more
so here are the shots. The lightning isnt very well and I allways was curious about how the would look with a normal mapped shader so that would actually be nice if someone could do that

heres the link

The shape is good, the textures look oke and it's free which means I like it

Cheers

thx as always
do you have any chance to do some normal-mapping?

Ich find sie sehen einigermaßen gut aus. Die Texture finde ich nicht passend, wenn ich an Meteoriten Denke, dann wäre die Texture viel gröber bzw strukturierter und dunkler. Sonst vom Shape finde ich sie ok, ausser beim letzten, der ist etwas zu "spitz" gewworden an einigen stellen !

Alles in allem ganz ok , 4 free is ja immer gut

ich finde DAS sieht nicht aus wie Meteoriten im Weltall
sondern wie eine Albagerung, auf den Weg zum Herzen
oder Nierensteine, aua


liegt wohl an dem seltsam roten Hintergrund

I guess I'll add some normal mapping just for the hell of it

besides, I hate seeing 3DGS default lighting. I think it's very ugly


..also, would you mind sharing your method?

yeah of course I can share the method
but I dont know if med has that function I did that in Wings its pretty simple:
you first create a block and smooth it 1 time I think its subdivision in MED
then theres a deform function named crumple and tighten you can use these functions to create them:
Code:

---

Picture 1: create a Block

Picture 2: smooth

Picture 3: smoothed Block

Picture 4: pres V for vertex-mode

Picture 5: right-click -deform-crumpple-normal

picture 6: cumpeled block

picture 7: smoothed it again and sized it up

picture 8: use crumple and tighten (tighten +crumpeled Block)

Picture 9: smoothed it once more :cool:

Ps:(im sorry for the default lightning I tried it but couldnt get it done and thx for that normal map)
