Very nice so far. But, you need to work on the texture of his face, Hellboy has a sort of rough face, doesnt he? Btw, the hair looks nice.

i like it although i dont know how real you are trying to make this but if you want something similar to the movie then i think you need to add detail to the horns and the mouth and chin..... the hair looks good but i agree with aboleo i imagine they are only a start to the texture but you need to think about textures alot more and look at it, add a bump map and a specular map and you will be able to make a real good looking model from that

keep up the hard work

hey guys thanks for the comments, but at the moment, its just a wip, i havent evan started on the textures yet (its just a standard red blin material at the moment).

The detailing will come later, i have plans to take into zb and create a normal map for the detailing.

But i need to start work on the body before anything else, as its pointless me texturing / zb'ing until that done... i will keep you posted

could you post some wires, please :)

[eddieellis]

are you planning to complete the family picture for the Baby-from-hell?? I saw you spectacular entry:eek: :eek:

Looking really good, the beard so far looks awesome, I guess your doing a personal take on it, no Ron Perlman references I mean. Good luck with it and have fun:thumbsup:

Hi eddieellis, nice work you've got there, however, you simply MUST study more regarding topology. You should have circular loops emanating from the mouth, eyes, etc. I really suggest that you look at other people's meshes so that you get a better idea about what i mean. Also, you should NEVER have 6 edge junctions or polygons with more than 5 sides...stick mainly with quads and sometimes tris (these have to be placed well though, or they will cause pinching). Don't get discouraged, but you seriously have some work ahead of you....

Best of luck,

Pancho

Its looking good- but Hellboy looks different than that.

Unless you were looking to Cartoonify him.

He has more muscle and is more filled out. His stone hand should be roughly 2 times the size of his head.

It is looking good though! You are off to an awsome start.

[eddieellis]

thanks man, i decided to for a close up of the head, rather than the whole body.. i started on a few textures yesturday and this is the result thus far

Wassup, eddie, looks pretty good! Are u trying to model hellboy accurately, or just going for a cartoony feel? Would be interesting to know what u have planned for him good luck anyways!:thumbsup:

[Gunilla]

Hi Eddie - found ya! :thumbsup:

Oh dear, you really have come a long way from your M&S sweet entry... the horror continues as I see it - cool. The modeling is beautiful as usual and that beard really looks great!

Good luck for the remaining steps!

beelow : Hey man, great to talk to you again, hows things in the US ?... im in a mixed mind at the moment regardig style.. i would like to do it in a realistic one, but dont want to get drawn in to the CGI film realm... want something of my own.

Gunilla : Hey buddy really good to talk to you again and its always a please to read your commments... Im still waiting with bated breath for the next CG challange, i think im going to go all out on this one and produce something truelly horrific... lol
I was alittle gutted about being denied access to the CG gallery but its only mad me more determined to shock the CG team.... i love my baby being banned really :twisted:

ALittle update guys' regarding shader

http://www.ellipages.co.uk/wip/hellboy/hellboy8.jpg

as you can see im having real trouble with the SSS side of things, i like my original texture but all the detail is getting lost in the SSS shader... if anybody can give me some help i would be greatful ?

[Gunilla]

It's to bad about you not being able to submit the baby - possibly it's because of the mother's intimate parts... those areas are still very taboo in some cultures and people can find it offensive :shrug:
SSS shader with MR in MAX? :) Tweaking, and more tweaking to make it work, I had a really hard time with it.

Always fun to follow your projects - one really doesn't know what to expect, that's cool :cool:

[eddieellis]

to be honest mate, i think im might give it up as a bad job, i just dont seem to have any ethusaum for this wip... i have a few more darker idea i would like to get my teeth into, but im also waiting for the challenge to be announced.. :shrug:

nice lighting, nice hair.
i'm not a big fun of comics, first time i heard about hellboy was from the movie, therefore my personal impression of how hellboy looks, is from the movie. in my opnion, the face of hellboy is more "solid" than what you have achived. he is a big man, with a big muscler face. your hellboy feels a bit "skinny". here's a reference from a poster
as you can see, his face has more "meat". as for your face, he has a high cheek, then the muscle lv suddenly dropped around the jaw area.maybe what you having right now has to do with your personal taste. but if you trying to achive the same looking as from the movie, maybe you can fix a bit of the face mesh. http://adorocinema.cidadeinternet.com.br/filmes/hellboy/hellboy-poster04.jpg
