Character Catman WIP

[mc-fleury]

look pretty good so far.looking foward to see his body.:thumbsup:

[AndrewHwang]

this looks really nice, i like the style that your using and the colors. i think that maybe his lip could be exaggerated a little more, especially around the corners, or maybe building in the split in between the lips, the first impression doesnt remind me of a cat with out it, looking forward to seeing the body.

[magan3D]

Really nice, looks clean
any chance to see some wires?

[mustan9]

Hi,

If you want to be able to do facial animation then you might want to make the expression more nutural. The mouth has a small downwards curved at the ends.

Also the nose looks a little strange.

Otherwise, great job!

[Sir3DMIND]

Thanks for the comments guys.

Andrew, mustan: I'll try to correct the lips and the small downwards curved in the mouth.

I'll put some wires soon.

Here you have an update of the body.

[reedomatic01]

looks cool so far, are you modeling from a concept sketch, or are you creating the chararacter on the fly?

[Sir3DMIND]

Thank's reedomatic. I'm modeling from sketches made by Jose Rodriguez a friend of mine. I'll post some of them.

[Sir3DMIND]

Hey all.

I've been working on the boots of the character. Hope next update I'll have all the body completed.

WOW thats a superb model great work.

i really admire you work on this model.

[Sir3DMIND]

Thank's guys for your comments.

Twilight, here you have one of the textures my friend Jose have done for the body. It's not finished yet (you can see in the previous render the texture is cut in the head) but he is working on it.

http://www.3dmind.org/Foros/TextureUW_01.jpg


Bardur, I've used two pictures for the base (front and side) although I'm changing things on the fly because there are things that looks cool in 2D but don't have the same look in 3D.

http://www.3dmind.org/Foros/Boceto_02.jpg

Updates will come soon.

[bardur]

Great texture and i really like those drawings of the "catman" (remindes me of the OLD! "S.W.A.T CATS" that were on Cartoon Network... wich rocked!)

how is it going with his legs?

keep us updated....

Regards
Bardur

[Sir3DMIND]

Hey everybody.:)

Thank's for your comments bardur.

Here you have an update of the hole character with the legs. Now working on the textures and some items like a cap.

[azozel]

Wow looking great!
What 3d app are you using?

[bardur]

the Catman as a whole is Extremly great modeled.. i LOVE your/the style.
as "azozel" asked what app/program are you using?

Yeeehhh Edu and Jose!!!

It had not seen your WIP thread, a great modeled work and textured, this really well, to follow ahead dudes...:thumbsup:

[Sir3DMIND]

Hey all!!!:)

Thank's guys for all your comments.

Azozel & bardur: I'm using poligonal modeling with 3ds Max 7 and VRay for the render.

_Twilight_: Here you have the model with a kind of checker texture to see the mapping. I've used Blender LSCM unwrap tool for mapping.

http://www.3dmind.org/Foros/Checker_01.jpg

And here you have an update of the boot's textures.

http://www.3dmind.org/Foros/Botas_01.jpg

Hope you like it. More to come

[BOY1DA]

Will he have fur, like shag hair or max hair ?

[Sir3DMIND]

Boy1Da: Yes, I want to put some hair over the shoulders, in the ears an some in the arms, but I don't want to put hair all over the body. I want to use Max Hair (Shave & Haircut).

[stipen]

so cool, I love this. The design is great, the textures, everything...:thumbsup:

[Scithious]

Wow I love your style...Cant wait to see animation man...keep it up

[bardur]

THAT is SO FREAKING GREAT....

Damn i love you style...
thats exactly what kind of 3D i like

can´t wait to see the/A animation

Regards
Bardur

[Sir3DMIND]

Thank's again for all your comments guys.

Stipen, I've just visited your website an I love your style man.Congratulations for your work.

Here you have a new update with the texture of the trousers (still working on it). Hope tomorrow I'll post it complete and a little test I want to do in Photoshop to see if the hair will work where we want to put it (I'll paint the hair above to see if it looks cool).

[markovicd]

yes yes very nice stuff going around here... especially the boots !... they are great from modeling to texturing! :):thumbsup:

[skuby]

Great Texturing and Rendering, it really brought the character to life. You should put him in some different poses.

[agmihred]

great work man .i wait to see more.:bounce:

[rustbucket]

Awesome modeling and texturing! I really dig the style of the character as well.

[benclark]

Nice work, this guy has got a lot of character already!

He reminds me of the rippers from the Tankgirl movie

[collings]

Really cool character!
it's a pretty good work so far, the modeling is excellent and the texturing looks great!
**** :thumbsup:

[spacebovine]

Great result so far....love the jaw and the hands. I can't help feeling that the boots look just a tiny bit painted on...I think they could do with a bit more structure. Great work so far though, I look forward to seeing the hair placement.

[Markuss]

Nice character! Very cool style but I think it would look even cooler if you added some fur (on all of the body) since cats are furry animals.

[yop]

Really good job!!, The mesh and the texture are very clean!!, I like your style!, I cann´t wait to see it finished!!.., buen trabajo y terminalo yaaaa :buttrock:

[joserod]

hi to all, I am jose rodriguez, another person working in the character. Thank you for the good commentaries.now we are going to do hair tests, because we want the tshirt to be made with cloth fx, and the hair under the tshirt could give us some problems,although we have another option,give the character short hair in the body and make it longer in the shoulders , etc ...

greetings.

[Rlloret]

Hey men, the textures are very cool. I imagine that the t-Shirt is not textured. I want see the hair. I love the dirty wear, is very realistic.

Great work!!!

Bueno, con ganas de verlo terminado

[BlueNyte]

First I just want to say that those boots are AMAZING. Also I want to say I like your design as well. Can you post the wireframe for the boots when you get a chance?

[Sir3DMIND]

Thank's all of you guys for your comments, this comments keeps us thrilled with this character.

We have been working on the textures and here you have the character with all the textures.

We have been working too in the cloth sim and painting the hair in photoshop to see what is the coolest way to put it, I'll post a test soon.

http://www.3dmind.org/Foros/Texture_05.jpg

http://www.3dmind.org/Foros/Texture_06.jpg

Skuby& Agasco: We want to put the character in different posesand with different expresions, but first we have to do the setup, and I think this is goint to be hard, jajajaja

MarKus_S & Bardur: Like I have said I'll post a test we are doing in photoshop. The problem putting hair all over the body is the areas where the fur collide with the shirt (cloth sim), we don't know how it's going to react.

Sammael: Hey tioooo, muxas gracias por tu comentario . Espero que todo te vaya bien y a ver si nos vemos un dia.

[Sir3DMIND]

Hope you like it.

Hello guys!!!

Bardur, here you have a simple cloth test I've done using ClothFX. I think it's enough for what we want to do with this character. Now I'm working on the setup. Untill I finish it, I think I'll start posting the motorbike we are modeling for him and the background we are going to use for the scene.

Hope you like it.

That cloth test is DAMN nice.. i am also working on cloths right now for a character im making..
BUT it ain´t as good as yours. keep it coming.

Which programs are you using for modeling, texturing, animation?

[nibbuls]

Really beautiful job!

That cloth test is amazing.

[MarGera]

Wow the fur looks amazing, i love how it points off the top of the ears, great job:thumbsup:

Please keep us updated.

[bardur]

could you tell me (us) how you did the cloths... you used ClothFX right? and the the shirt/cloth was modeled or made by the garment maker.. could you show me how you did the setup of the cloths?..

and once again DAMN cool model you have inspired me to start a cool character wich i´m working on right now.. thanks man.

Regards
Bardur

[Sir3DMIND]

Thanks again guys for all your comments. :)

Bardur: Yes, you're right. I've used ClothFx. I've modeled the shirt using the body of the character as a base. I don't like model the cloth with patters although it's very powerfull. I'll make an screenshot of the parameters I've used for the cloths, hope it would help you.

-SammaeL-: Thanks for the comments about the cloth. Only one thing, the draw of the shirt is one I found on internet in a Tatoo page. It was only to have a reference to see how the cloth react and create wrinkles.

Womball: We're using 3DS MAX 7.5 for modeling and animation. Blender to unwarp the mesh and VRay for the render. Textures are made in Photoshop.

[samurai jack]

fantastic job dude :buttrock::buttrock::buttrock:
wonderful modeling,textures.....perfect
i cant wait to see the animation

[mecha]

Absolutely amazing! I love to see real character work rather than "alpha male / female" stuff.

I think a old faded & retro "Top Cat" or "Thudercats" design on his vest would look cool....or corny! Thin line. :p

Cant wait to see more from this!

Hi all!!!

Two weeks since my last post, but now we have time again to continue. Here you have an update of the background. This is a first aproximation to the idea we have in mind. We've modeled all the stuff in the picture, some things still need more work.

http://www.3dmind.org/Foros/Background_01.jpg

[Sir3DMIND]

Thank's guys for your comments. Here you have and updated with some of the textures and colors (we'll change colors and put textures but for now colors are enough to see the feeling of the scene).

http://www.3dmind.org/Foros/Background_03.jpg

First off, absolutely amazing work, the mesh really follows the curves of the model beutifully.

Furthur to that point, could you please post some wires of the armpit area, front and back :)

Bit of a random one but i'm struggling at the moment with getting my mesh to flow properly and that region is giving me some problems.

Thanks for any pointers

Cheers

[echom]

Jeez, really cool work. Love the style of the character. Only stumbled over this today but I'll follow this one for sure :D Luvin it!

Sorry for not posting crits... don't have any :shrug:

I like the background a lot - nice colors.Looking forward to see it finished.

Cheers

[yoff]

Awesome test with the hair, it really adds a lot to the character. I would suggest little tuft of hair comming out of the ears too...

[Sir3DMIND]

Hi!!!

Thanks for all your comments guys. I hope in a week more less we can put some pose tests, because I'm working now on the character setup and hair (Shave & Haircut) and Jose is working on the weapon textures.

yoff: We thought to put hair like you say (that's an idea we still have in mind) but for now we think this amount of hair is enough, maybe in the future we'll make some test with that.

HEZZA: Here you have the wires, hope this can help you.

http://www.3dmind.org/Foros/ArmPit_01.jpg

[Hezza]

Thanks 3dmind, that has helped somewhat with the model i'm working on. I'm still a little confused to be honest tho. Some people i've spoken to insist on using only quads, but you and others have used triangles to great effect, and they subdivide fine so i can't see the problem with using them. You obviously know your anatomy well which is something i need to brush up on, following the lines of muscles etc.

Keep up the good work, looking forward to seeing him animated :)

Thanks again

[Skeram18]

I really love this, excellent work. My only crit is your enviroment seems....more cartoonish. Not quite the right word, but it doesn't seem as natural looking as your char. Fantastic none the less. Maybe its just different lighting, or the backround that needs to be darkened(In my opinion). Something just doesn't add up, I think its the tree. Anyways when I figure out what it is I'll say. Though don't let the above say I think its bad, I think it is superb. Can't wait to see the animation.

Oh yeah I forgot. Did you start modeling using splines, a box or a plane?
