[Character WIP] Coal Mecha warrior

[NeoGSR]

Hahaha model that...
I read the title of the thread as "cool" mecha.
But the image made me laugh and I think it looks like it'd be fun to model.

[Guntharf]

hehe thx for support NeoGSR, i'll start the mod monday i think (i'll draw the MDS this w-e ;))

cya.

[Guntharf]

C&C are welcome as usual :D

Cya for next post ;)

[Akildee]

cool concept and really nice modeling so far. Let's see the texturing!

akil

[Guntharf]

thx for feedback Akildee next step is rigging, the texturing will come soon :D

[NeoGSR]

Looking good so far... definately cant wait to see the texturing.

One suggestion, personally I would have a mask hanging off to the side of his head. Working without in a coal mine is a bad idea... but if this is going cartoony, maybe a cigar...

what is the character's personality anyway?

[Guntharf]

NeoSGR : hehe good idea, but he doesn't work in a Coal mine. The coal behind is only the combustible that he need to move :)

In fact i like the automate and the old machinery style.

ok here's the rigging tests :

[bar2sek]

Hey bro, good job. Love the concept/idea! Do you have any animations posted?

[Guntharf]

A animation test will rlzed when the texturing will be done.

But this model is originally for Quake 3.

This is cool. I like the coal texture, although it looks a bit like lava or magma.

The model is great too. cant wait for more updates.

[Guntharf]

Another update :

[Akildee]

Looking very good! Just a few things:

Maybe add a belt or some side stitching to the pants for more detail.

Definitely bring down the saturation of the boots. They are a bit distracting.

Post the texture so we can see what's going on as well!

akil

[Guntharf]

Akildee : thx for critikz :)

About the belt, if u look at the artwork, u'll see that he has a big belt (near pelvis).
About the saturation on the boots, thx a lot, u're right. It's fixed now :)

Ok, the texturing is almost finished now (95%) :

C&C before .pk3 rlz is more than welcome ;)

Hope u like it ! It was a really good training for me ;)

[Guntharf]

ok the model is now finshed, it was a really good training for me (first LP model)

http://www.guntharf.easynet.be/brol/Q3_contest_final/ingame.jpg

the .pk3 will be rlzed soon ;)

[Akildee]

you maybe could have used a little bit more of the texture space, but this is a very, very small point. Great stuff man for sure! Detail artistry and design!

akil

[Guntharf]

Akildee : thx for this posifive comment man !

I know (now) that the texture sheet (and the placement of the different UV parts) wasn't really optimal (too big difference between some UV parts :/ e.g. Chest VS boots yeah.). I must say that it was my really first complete low ploy character. I've learn a lot during the creation. I will pay attention to this in the furure :).


Anyway, thx for ur C&C ;)

Cya.

[catbert]

this is awesome :) make a 4000 poly ver. for ut2003 :)

[Supervlieg]

Nice job, this turned out really great. Good use of polys as well.
One minor thing: The glasses are really small. They dont stand out as glasses, perhaps they could be a tiny bit bigger.

[proudclod]

wow!! that is amazing!!! Great style you have there! The character is top notch, both modeling and texturing! really good job :)

can you please possible tell me how you unwrapped the face? what's your secret? i have been longing to know for a while now... how do you unwrap the face like that?

[Blacklion]

Good show

Nice poly layout
