[Delapouite]

Yes, it also reminds me Gerri's game character ! Fabulous !

[otacon]

No crits yet....very good modeling.:thumbsup:

[Rot]

Wow, is really my granpa a little like Gerri? Thanx, that's a great complimet ! :blush:
I don't know why for me visualize, draw and model an old man is an hard work... :shame:

I'm slowly going on; in these days I'm very busy, so this isn't a great update. More someting like "body parts flying around" :p

[Rot]

Thanks for your encouraging words, Erilaz !

See You !

[otacon]

Looks great!:thumbsup: Im not sure, but it looks like his arms are gonna get really long when he puts them down..they might need shortened a bit....but it could just be the angle.Keep it up.:D

[stipen]

Very good modelling and design!!
is it gonna be a wheelchaire race????

[haim]

wow ! look great....
is this a one mesh or some spareted meshes ?
(like head, clothes,body .....)

[mv]

that's some pretty nice modelling. Like it very much. Can't wait to see it rigged&posed.

[Rot]

Hi guys !
Thanks a lot for all yours encouraging words.

- Otacon: about arms you were completly right, so I decided to shorten about 15%. But these damn arms looks long EVEN NOW :surprised By the way: LOL
- Stipen: uh... Telling the truth I started this thread thinking about somthing like an old Tony hawk with wheelchair, but a frien said me:Oh no Rot, it's too much cynic !!! So I changed my mind... (but I'm still undecided; I feel my decision isn't the right one )
- Haim: All the pieces are separated mesh. I think it's confortable work with only a few small object on screen.

I did less than I hoped to do - it'isn'y a perfect world - but I guess it's enough to update this thread.
I worked on some refinements, on the slippers and I started the competitor - a tough one, belive me !
PS: yes, I cloned old man's legs and arms; it's juast a tiny short cut ;)

[rizob]

[NelsonInomvan]

Wow, what an athelete, but i bet mine is faster and stronger. So if you want we can arange a fight between them :)
Just imagine the fight of the yaer OLD MAN vs OLD MAN whit the big M :)))

:airguitar

[Rot]

- Virtuoso, Otacon, Rizob: thanks a lot, guys. It's always a pleasure read your opinions!
Even if I think you 're too much gentle :blush:
- Atmos_Fear: LoL My athlete shall be ready. Tell me only where and when !!! (I think it'll be the fight of XXI Century) :beer:

Here is a little update, as usual: I started to study rigging and posing and modeled glasses, socks and the stick...

[otacon]

Awesome! Kung fu grandpa.:D I like the glasses....and i think his right leg in that bottom pic looks kinda weird...like it popped out of socket. But all else looks good...keep going.:thumbsup:

[Erik]

hi rot, really good modeling !!:applause:
did u use any skinning before you put your man in position ?
our did your turn all the poly, one by one ?

[Rot]

Thanks ! guys, you're too much for me !!!

- Erik: Yes, I skinned my poly mesh with a very fast (and inaccurate :annoyed: ) rig, and than I posed it.
But now to refine I've to freeze the mesh and adjust a lot of detail.
- Otacon: why Kung-fu? mmmh... I think I'm going to do some shots with this athlete trying some kung fu tecnique: Atmos' old man will not have an easy way to win the match :)
About the hip, you're right... I've to fix it !!!

[otacon]

Looks good! I love his shirt!:thumbsup:

[Delapouite]

Yeah love the texture of the shoes. This is what we called in french "des charentaises". Great !:applause: :thumbsup:

[stipen]

hehe excellent...I realy like your model !!!
I just think the forArms are a bit too Big and long...he might reach his foot without bending....!!
Anyway this is a grat work:thumbsup:

[Adam3da]

looks awsome but theresw a spooky resemlance to pixars geri http://www.pixar.com/shorts/gg/index.html

[levin]

AWSOME.

nice ATARI shirt.

at his age playing PS2 is extreme enough.

[Rot]

Here is a little update !

- Stipen: I've alredy shorten these damn arms, when Otacon told me, but it seems not enough :shame:
But, after your advise, I decided to make old man's forarms even shorter (and thinner): I hope now he looks better !
- Delapouite: ahah ! thanks ! Telling the truth, it's a standar texture, so mine isn't a work of great merit :)
- Otacon: I love that T-shirt too, but here, where I live, I can't find it anywhere :annoyed:
- Levin: Ahahah !!! SUPER-LOL
Thanks guy, that's the idea I need ! :applause:
I think I'm going to change direction and starting to model an indoor enviorment !
Now the matter is: PS2 or NGC? and what kind of videogame is he playing?

About this update:
- I started to refine the second character mesh, but now all this work is usless :shrug:
- I fix some little problem with my old man. But, DAMN !, why do not Maya render Fur?

[feanor]

You show us a good modelling skills, and I like the detail very much.:buttrock:
...but on the running old man toes of back foot are wrong (may be its must be higher...(sorry, I can't explain in English))
I like the faces - its are realy individual :bounce:

[JacobB]

It'd be sweet if you had a piece of toilet paper hanging out the back of the old man's pants or stuck to his shoe:rolleyes: :beer: :thumbsup:

[Apt Pupil]

Wow, the modeling of these two figures are very appealing. REally nice job!! :drool:

[fellah]

I really liked this one, very nice characters! hope you can bake a final image before the deadline. would be very sad if you didn't finish it, good job so far!

take care
