i love my weighted companion cube

this week valve software release the so called orange box. part of this game-collection is PORTAL. it can be considered as an ego-perspective puzzle-game. with the help of a portal-gun you can place the entrance and exit of portals through which you can move freely. additionally you get the weighted companion cube which is nothing more as a cube you can jump on to get to higher places. this gameplay element is as old as it can get but the way it is introduced by valve is nothing short of pure cute it is so simple and the same time adorable that it made me remodel its geometry as soon as i found time.

i hope you enjoy this pic as a possible wallpaper for your desktop as much as this game is enjoyable for puzzle fans. lets hope that we get additional levels soon because this new gameplay is just addictive.

this is a modell i did some time ago but rerendered with the maxwell v1.1 version. im happy now how the casing looks like. it took me quite a few tries till i found the right roughness of the surface.
it was modelled with 3dsmax.]]> Thu, 10 Aug 2006 20:07:38 +0000 http://krz9000.cgsociety.org/gallery/391951

this modell is based on a bandai HG-plastikkit. it took me almost 2months of daily eveningwork to model it...but it was alot of fun to do. it is rigged with 3dsmax bones so maybe one day i do an animation with it
