Combine Assassin

[Remus]

Two weeks ago I had decided to make a 3d version of that combine assassin concept art, and well now finally it's finished. Hope everyone will like it.:)

[Vegeta897]

Nice work! That's a 3D model? Wow. Very impressive dude.

[Reginald]

Very nice. This and the picture of the Portal Storms a few threads down are my two favourite pieces of HL2 related art around. :E

[Krynn72]

Awesome dude. If the combine assasins are that hot... I might have to rethink my rebellion. :D

What program did you use?

[Remus]

Thank you, glad you like it:cheers:

What program did you use?

I used 3ds max 8. The modeling wasn't that hard but the rigging and the posing was a nightmare, especially the hands.

PS: Oh yeah and if anyone wants a higher res version just go to the second link in my sig.

[Reginald]

One problem I can see on the High-Res image. The shadow of the right fore-finger gives this woman an almost Anne Boelyn look.

[Remus]

UPS:E didn't notice that shadow till now. It's because I used multiple light sources so the finger has two shadows.

[JNightshade]

Whoa, that's awesome!

[CrazyHarij]

Aside from the torso, it looks drawn. Cool effect and very nice work!

[evil^milk]

Amazing! Nice :D

[bryanf445]

Very nice, I think its great

[Danimal]

Reminds me of Cremator666's art, although he percieved them as innocence behind the barrel of a gun! D:

But I think you did an awsome job, can I still father your spawn?

[Beerdude26]

Hawt :O

[blck_prod]

NICE!!!!

I always tought that the female combine concept art kicked ass. I'd love those in HL2. I'd hesitate to fire first

Maybe some more dynamic pose??? I know...I'm nagging and I couldn't do it myself ;)

Really good work. thumbs up :cheers:

[Remus]

That's a 3D model?

OK for the scheptics, here are two different angles of the character and the wire frame:cheese: .

[JNightshade]

Funny, I didn't know Jenna Jameson worked for the Combine.

[CyberPitz]

Funny, I didn't know Jenna Jameson worked for the Combine.

Pfft, tits are NEAR big enough to be JJ...

[Remus]

OK I over did it a little, guilty as charged:laugh:

[blck_prod]

Is she trying to touch herself ??? :rolleyes:

Nice ass and model man, love the wires ;)

Greetzzz

[Remus]

Is she trying to touch herself ???

Mm no...:o but I can make one like that:naughty: Jk

[Danimal]

If you did, the people in the Singleplayer mythology would be here so fast.

[ktimekiller]

wow, that is fantastic

[blck_prod]

Mm no...:o but I can make one like that:naughty: Jk

No no....:P No need to...I like the subtle touch. Even if you didn't intend to. Gives it an even more sexy teasing look

There's kid's on this forum to...Shouldn't give em to much ideas.
And anyhow the suppression field is up...so this is just another combine tactic. She's playing with our minds...Shoot HER!!!!!! :sniper:

Again...nice modelling and rendering :thumbs:

[Costin]

Fantastic job Remus!!!!!!

[Raziaar]

Very nice model! I'm impressed.


By the way for those of you who think the combine assassins are hot and sexy. Make sure you have them keep the uniform on, cause underneath their very porous skin is splotchy and covered with a terrible, almost scab like infection.

Mmm.... sexay?

[Ravioli]

And exakly WHY arent you working for Valve? Thats what im wondering...

[Remus]

Fantastic job Remus!!!!!!

Thanks;) . This image was well received on the CGsociety forums too.

Yeah I know elites are the most modified of them all but I'm only interested in the outside appearance, how very shallow of me:laugh: .

I'm gonna have to say good bye for a while, I'm moving to another city to go to an art faculty and where I'm staying there isn't an Internet connection yet. I don't know how long it will take, probably a month at least. Anyway when I get back I promise I'll show some more artworks:) . Until then this is Remus, Redneck, Tesparg or whatever nickname you prefer signing off...

[Danimal]

Very nice model! I'm impressed.

Yep. Sexy. >_>

Not to mention the vital organs removed. :naughty:

:D

[evil^milk]

wow, great!!!

[hungryduck]

that. is. awesome.

[Shift]

*whip* DOWN BOY! lmao

Nice work ;)

[kupocake]

Nice work. Though I'm actually glad that Valve ditched the design for the game. Androgenous Combine are more scary.

[TollBooth Willie]

That's hot.

:E :laugh: I'm here.:E :laugh: :laugh:

[Samon]

Very nice model. The Combine Assassin herself is a little sucky though, and I'm glad they dropped her.

[Bacons]

WHY? D:

[Samon]

She doesn't look very good. D:

[Remus]

Helo! I'm back, not that anyone notice i was gone:P . So what's been hapenin' around here in my leave of absence?

Anyway, not that I mean to brag but, I got a reply on CGsociety from the author of the artwork, Ted Backman:eek: .

[evil^milk]

Wow, that's awesome :E

[Samon]

I'm not a big fan of the Combine Assassin, it just doesn't strike me as very interesting. My main concern would be the gameplay. I hated the black ops in HL1, and I'd imagine the Assassin would play the same.

Awesome that you got a reply from Ted Backman though, I think he's the guy behind most of them. Hunter, King and so on.

[Bacons]

But in Half-Life 2 The regular Combine & even the Elite's were dumb & slow, the A.I did'nt strike me as superbly brilliant. A combine assasin would be cool, There would be some cool tactic's, A.I, & animations.


They would be actually "ELITE". IMO The Combine elite were not very elite. The only difference in the combine overwatch & the combine elite is that the Combine elite have sharp looking uniforms, outfits & use the Pulse rifle w/ Orb launcher standard rifle combo & fragmentation grenades. While the basic overwatch have either a choice of MP7 SMG, Pulse rifle w/ Orb launcher, SPAS 12 Shot gun..along with Grenades.


the Combine assasin would have to be quick. I liked it when Smod made the Combine elite lighting fast.

[TollBooth Willie]

Which is why the Assassin would suck. If you played HL1 then you know that the assassins were a BITCH to kill. They were too ****ing fast. If Valve were to make them like that, it would just suck.

Also, that's awesome Remus!

[Krynn72]

I think the Assasins in HL1 were the most fun enemies to fight. It was the only part of the game that was really challenging.

Dumb and slow? No they weren't. The AI is ALOT smarter than what people give it credit for, it just didn't have chance really shine in HL2, or Episode 1 for that matter.

[Loke]

And they packed a bit more punch compared to the regular Combine soldiers. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_humanoid_and_synthetic_Combine_in_Half-Life_2#Overwatch_Elite)

[Shippi]

I loved the female assassins in HL1 :D They were so bloody difficult to kill, they're awesome

[Samon]

Shippi sucks. D:

[pomegranate]

I've heard that argument before, and it's ridiculous. If the AI is top-notch, but Valve didn't design the game to take advantage of it, then the AI might as well be dumb and slow. It's no good saying 'it could have been seen to be better if it had a chance', if it didn't have a chance, because the end result is the same as if the AI was crap, as some people think.

[Loke]

I loved the female assassins in HL1 :D

Agreed, quite frankly one of my favorite enemies found in the original game mainly because they were one of the more challenging enemies. But of course, as with almost all of the enemies in the game, they had a weak point.

Samon sucks. http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/9058/omgwtfloldj6.gif

[Danimal]

Those assassin's were ****ing annoying. :<

The enemy concept and AI are good, i'm sure Samon would agree. And whilst the Combine Assassin design is good, the problem is the design valve had around. Like I said earlier, the problem is that the Assassin is so overtly female. That just doesn't fit the Combine visual style at all. Physical sex is one of the first things they set about eliminating.

Pretty much. And whilst the assassins were essentially pretty cool to fight...I just didn't have much fun with it, mainly because you could just hide behind a few crates and pop them off as they went - their animations were actually pretty stiff.

And yeah, because she is, as Kupo said, overtly female. Something a little more ambiguous would work.

[Bacons]

I love to kill things that are a "BITCH" to kill, But only 3 swings with my beloved crowbar & they were dead :), I love the challenge. ;)

Samon ya stole me sig D:

[Samon]

I had long before August 2006. :p

[JNightshade]

Good lord. The bouncing... it hypnotizes D:

[Danimal]

Now all we need is LePobz to post on this page!

[XYC2006]

To Remus:

I really like your work! Where/when will you post some more?

[Remus]

Well XYC2006 you could've sent me a private message;) . If you liked my images then visit my personal gallery, first link in my sig. I'll post another artwork here when I make another HL related one. Suggestions? Gargantua, Strider, Ichty, prowler maybe...

[XYC2006]

Cool gallery! I especially like the surrealist ones...
How about some Synths or I.A.Latham?

[Remus]

Glad you liked it. I'll definitely think about making a 3d version of a sinth:D . Just one thing though... who is I.A. Latham?

[XYC2006]

I.A.Latham can be found on page 108 in the book Raising the Bar...
I saw in your gallery that you use Art Rage. I just installed it and have been playing with it for a couple of hours - pretty cool program!
Have you ever tried using Photoshop for artworks?
