The sketch looks cool, and the 3D model is also very nice.
So, GREAT work!
Keep going dude :airguitar

Totitch

Very nice modeling! :thumbsup:

but eyes are not like on the sketch! And it's better!
Eyes on the sketch are too much feminine for a man face...(because of your Manga-style maybe.)

but your 3D model is really great! ;)

ChrRambow

11-14-2002, 04:53 PM

Thank you guys ... great that you like this style :bounce:
i've not expected so much comments :)

Totitch: the same i thought while modelig so i changed them slightly. I've slightly tried to recreate the style of the dreamworks cartoons.

Now here is a guick attempt on jacket. I do not got much experience in modeling clothes. Thats my favourite jacket :love:

it's looking great, especially the head. Now add some creases to that jacket! :)

ChrRambow

11-14-2002, 07:37 PM

Now created some detail on the jacket.
The next step would be cleaning the mesh of the jacket, adding more details and creating hair. But now a break :beer:

I hate rigging ... always had problem with especially for animations :hmm: :shrug:

here is a first test ... with a lot of problems in the deforming mesh :thumbsdow

i would be really thankful about how to arrange bones and weighting a mesh especially in the elbow and shoulder area.

nibo

11-18-2002, 04:47 PM

It's look'n very nice!
Yeah, need some armpit-tweaking.

11-18-2002, 11:14 PM

Eeey :) Dude, this looks sweet! When you didn't have hair on you, the model, it kind of reminded me of me :D Cool. Keep it up... can't think of any crits really... except that I think his throat is a bit long [should I say, wait until you see mine :rolleyes: ]

Cheers!
:beer:

Joril

11-18-2002, 11:18 PM

Whoa, very cool model indeed!!
But if I had to nit pick something, it'd be the folds in the clothing. ;)
I like 'your' head alot, nice amounth of detail!
Got a picture for comparison?

ChrRambow

11-19-2002, 08:54 PM

here is a photo :surprised

and a update with an rought sketch of an idea... that comes in my mind while was creating the headbanging pose.

Yes music is one of my favourite hobby... ;)
...and cleaning my apartment... :buttrock:

ChrRambow

11-19-2002, 08:59 PM

3: lol you're looking very good :D

Joril: creating folds is hard ... i have to learn more related to that after this challenge :) do you know tips or tutorials about that?

sad

11-20-2002, 01:10 AM

i'm so curious to see your finished work! definately top notch!

maybe you could bow his knees to give some dynamic feeling into the pose! your new sketch rminds me of my room...chaotic situation. :beer:

Hmm, some tips then. The way I do folds is simply cutting some edges (mind the quads) on the cloth and drag the verts over the edges - much like a real fold.
You also need to add enough geomitry to define the fold, otherwise you get this melted fold-thing...
This may sound a little blurry the reason is that I've been awake for 21 hours, I'm going to bed...
Have fun!

Thank you all for the really nice comments ... It's a great motivation :)

sad: Changed the pose a littlebit to make it more dynamic...what do you think?

Joril: thank you for the tip ... have to try it on my next character.

Fede: i with the next update i will provide a wireframe and a colored version too.

Teenager style :scream:

Nice work dude, the only thing that bothers me, but in a way it doesn't, is the desk behind you (him)...it looks a little bit to big for him, sort of...i mean, there are big desks, but the way i see it, this is a propotion problem...BUT, the more I look at it, it looks better and better...just me though :applause:

nice, nice, nice

and the wireframe:

wire scene (http://www.art-3d.com/images/stuff_temp/living_toon_step11_wire.jpg)

Thank you for the comments :)

Fede: i am using Maxons Cinema 4D

torbjorn + nibo: i wanted to make the objects a littlebit more unpropotional, like a big midi tower on the table or big CDs.

sad

11-22-2002, 10:44 PM

great but i hope the chaos will grow! maybe some underpants hanging at the ceiling-vent. :rolleyes:

the cord on which the alarmclock is fixed should be way thinner.

anyways: you rule the house!

Hi KoRn!

This is great! I like it a lot :thumbsup:

The only thing I don't like is the keyboard in the smashed screen. It doesn't convince me...:rolleyes:

And: there are still a few uncovered spots on the floor. :shame: You know, what you've got to do! :buttrock: :airguitar :xtreme:

Your model seems indifferent about the untidy room. I would pose him in a more agressive way, more "metal-gods-istic" xDDDD but it's a good pose, man, and a very good model. Love the style a lot.
