Hi guys,

I am relatively new to 3DS max, (been using it since Nov 2005), and have always been fascinated with game art characters.

This would be my sixth character I am making, and she is a centaur. I wanted to practise going through a process where I concept up the character, do a concept art, model, texture then animate. :)

Here are what I have far. (PS. the face is directly referenced from Gisele Bundchen, who I'm sure most of you guys would know her. :)

Concept Art.

Plan Drawings for modelling in Max.

Some initial modelling. I am not happy with the face yet. Hands yet to come. Aiming for poly limit of 3000 polys.

Your modeling is good and your concept is great, but theres a lot to tweak on the legs as it dosn't look right, If I'm right centaurs are half human and half horse, the horse part should follow a anatomy based on it.

You could get this book it will help you alot

I've put a reference below

Hi Tintin,

Thanx for that. I think my drawing suffered from not enough research lol. I tried to play around with the geometry a bit and heres a quick update.

Also modelled the hands.

Some quick update. :) Textures are not final yet. The hair is still going to look like concept, I just wanted to test it out first. Seams are going to be fixed after I'm happy with the texture. Crits welcome as usual.

nice work. i didnt know who Gisele Bundchen is, so i had to google for images, and im glad i did :eek:.

this is coming along nicely. are you going to be adding any alphamapped planes for for hair to help transition between the human and centaur parts, or just texture them in?
