Vampire Hunter

[vfx]

Really good work dude! No crits really...looking forward to the textured version..

If anything - try not to make him look so stuck up - his facial pose makes him look like he smelt something bad...I thin khe needs to look more aggressive and angry.

[JSlotosch]

Thank you for the kind words vfx,
I will look what I can do to give him a more evil look!

Here we go:

I think I will tweak some places and than I will model him "clothes"!

Greeting,

[hoodedpython]

Cool modelling cant wait to see the finished model.

[Engy]

Superb modelling!

I think the ankle area and back of the knees need a bit more work, but other than that its awesome.

[JSlotosch]

@hoodedpython
Glad you like it! :)

@Engy
Thx for the tips, I will remodel this places!

[bigquix]

that charachter is a very very very very amazing one. you did all the muscles wow !! I love it man. that make me feel like a beginner ! ok ok, now it becomes a MUST for me to do some muscle stuff :D

waiting for the rest...

[JSlotosch]

Thank´s bigquix, your character is great, too!
The rest coming soon!
Greeting,
FHawk

[Crin]

I see lots of excellent muscley models like this but how do you actually go about rigging something that complicated? Or do you not?

[AndrewHwang]

awsome modeling, really like the dynamic musculature, i agree with engy about the back of the knees, and i think the back of the calves could use some more work as well, great job man, do you plan on texturing him?

[Isurus]

it looks fricking awesome!

[valentine]

Nice that you like it SUS,

Here we go:

Greeting,
FHawk

i really like the muscle-definition and fleshiness of the upper torso. the topology especially on the forearms and the chest looks like some tidy work ;)

the upper leg - especially the front side - looks way too generic. please, do yourself a favour and turn those upper legs into something more alive, more fleshy - less generic - just as you did on the upper part of your hunter!

furthermore some bigger unsmoothed wireshots of the front and the back of your char would be really appreciated!

good luck & regards
jannis

[cpaulson]

i think this guy could benefit from some longer slightly thinner legs... I think that would help validate your uber long neck. sweet job thus far.

[JSlotosch]

Thx all for your kind comments!

@Crin
I will rig him only for a pose, that should be to difficult! ;)

@AndrewHwang
Nice you like it, yes I will textur him!

@Isurus
;)

@valentine
Okay I worked on the leg, but I think I will do it again, because you are right!

@cpaulson
Well, I like them how they are! ;)

Here I have an update from the Char:

[Cyborgguineapig]

Awsome work, I don't have a crit at the moment but jsut hope to see this continue

[JSlotosch]

Hey guy, thx for this kind words! :)

and here we go, I wanna learn ZBrush and made some trys, it´s a really great programm, love to make details with it!
I used the cool alpha maps from Antropus, thank you for this!

http://home.pages.at/flying-hawk//Sonstiges//Vampire01.jpg

Should be a kind of vampire!
Hope you like it!

Greeting,
FHawk

[JSlotosch]

Does anybody know, how I can use the alpha map, which I made in ZBrush, for an displacement in Max (with Mental Ray)!?
And another question, can I use the UVW, which ZBrush generated, in Max, or make this some problems!?

I hope to get some help from you!

Greeting,
FHawk

[JSlotosch]

Okay I have solved the Problem!
Greeting,
FHawk

[JSlotosch]

Hope you like it! ;)
Now I will model him teeth!

Greeting,
FHawk

[JSlotosch]

Hi all,
I consider what he can wear for weapons and how his equipment finally should look!
http://flyinghawk.fl.funpic.de/3D/Vampire_Hunter/Vampire%20hunter10.jpg
He should wear a bow and a quiver for arrows on his back
But I´m not sure whether this equipment fit to him!
If you don´t like it let me know it! :)

-FHawk

[JSlotosch]

A little update!

[Giangmatric]

Great model. I love it.
I think his neck is kinda strange other than that great. Are you going to animate him?
Giangmatric

[JSlotosch]

Thank you for your comment Giangmatric, no I don´t will animate him, I only wanna set him in a pose!
-FHawk

[julnyapp]

That's dynamite!! Great modeling. Nothing to nitpick.
Looking forward to see more of your stuff.

[damoke]

Great modeling! im not keen on the helmet , the body and hands are really good keep it up

[yonathangz]

hi, very cool model, I really like it!

Can you elaborate a little about how you did the cloth (the wrinkles and creases)?

Keep it up!!!

yoni

[JSlotosch]

Thanks all for the comments and sorry for my late answer!
@juln
Thank´s! ;)

@damoke
I will remove all the skirt!

@yonathangz
The cloth is nothing especial, I modeled it with a plane which I extruded arround his hip and than I extruded it down and made the wrinkles !

Now, I started with the texture, but I have a problem!
Ever I use SSS from mental ray in max the result looks a little bit to soft, I can do what I want!
Now the question, how can I give the shader more contrast!?
For example, this is the original picture: http://flyinghawk.fl.funpic.de/3D/Vampire_Hunter/Textur01.jpg
and this is the picture after I scaled the contrast higher in Photoshop:
http://flyinghawk.fl.funpic.de/3D/Vampire_Hunter/Textur02.jpg
would be nice if you can help me!
I don´t know where I can do that!
Greeting,
FHawk

[frameless]

Great work so far, on the model as well as on texture :thumbsup:
Concerning the "contrast", you can try to increase the "scale conversion factor"
This will cause, that your model get lets translucent and the shadows will be darker.

[JSlotosch]

Thx for the tip frameless nice that you like it! ;)

I was asked to post the material settings, here they are!
http://home.pages.at/flying-hawk//Vampire_Hunter//VampireHunterSSS.jpg

-Fhawk

[JSlotosch]

Okay, here are some variations!
I think that I will use the one in the center!
http://home.pages.at/flying-hawk//Vampire_Hunter//Textur16.jpg
Which variation do you like most!?
Greeting,
FHawk

[Kralle]

That looks very cool and very intense. :D

[Thyriax]

Impressive work! And very good texturing too..( For me, the left one is better.)

[leif3d]

That's a very impressive model and texture you got there. I did feel a little strange when I saw the cuts on his body - because vampires heal very rapidly- , the "bruce lee" chest - very small and tight - which contradicts the rest of his body....but other than that It look amazing! keep it up! :D

[Michael Walker]

the left one is the best, i really like this rotten flesh, looks really old and cold at the same time. great job!

[Tıax]

WoW , looks great! excellent texturing , keep up the good work man :)

ah btw , left one is better i think . Pale skin would look better i think ;)

[JSlotosch]

Yeah thx all for this friendly comments!
@Kralle,Thyriax
Nice you like it! :)

@leif3d
hi isn´t a vampire, he is an vampire hunter! ;)

@Michael Walker,Tıax
I`m glad you like it, too!

-FHawk

[younglion]

you are ridiculous man that model is amazing and the textures just make it that much better. looking to seeing more updates

[JSlotosch]

ThX for your comment, I´m working on the the update! ;)
-FHawk

[JSlotosch]

I have a question, how can I hide, in the best way, the seams from the parts of the unwrap?

I think he looks better now!

[JSlotosch]

okay an new update, hope you like it...

Greeting,
FHawk

[JSlotosch]

Someone asked me for the light setup which I use!
Here is it:
http://home.pages.at/flying-hawk//Vampire_Hunter//light_setup.jpg
Is there nobody who kann say something, for example to my skinshader, I use mental ray for the rendering and the skinshader!

Greeting,
FHawk

[gjpetch]

Nice anatomy!
The main thing that stands out to me is that it looks like you are using lights that aren't casting shadows. I can see bright illumination inside the mouth, and the head isn't casting any shadow onto the shoulder. All lights should cast shadows. The skin looks a bit grey/brown, and a bit flat. One thing that can help is if you incorporate a bit of a coloured gradient into the shading, so the highlights might be slightly blue, the illuminated parts slightly yellow, mid parts slightly orange, shadows slightly purple... this gives it a sort-of translucent look. Just more variation in the colour, like the cheeks, nose, chin might be more red than the rest, more exposed parts like his shoulders might be more tanned relative to less exposed parts like his armpits and under his chin. He could do with some variation is specular, perhaps shiny around the eyes and scalp, and so on.

Hope thats some help!

[JSlotosch]

Thank you very much for your comment gjpetch, I love your work very much!
That´s cool to get some help from, you, I will look what I can do!
But first I have un little update, I hope you all like it:
http://home.pages.at/flying-hawk//Vampire_Hunter//VHunter00.jpg

c&c are welcome!
Greeting,
FHawk

[su]

can you make his skin look more dead? a little purple tinting might go well over the yellow skin.

Good modeling, good texturing, good lighting, great job :)

[JSlotosch]

Okay I will try to gave him a more deadly look! ;)
Here a render without textur, (lightning test)
http://home.pages.at/flying-hawk//Vampire_Hunter//VHuntershade.jpg

Cheers,
Josef

[fallofmart]

It seems like his neck is too long or his legs or too short?

The model is awesome, it's just those things that look a little strange to me.

[JSlotosch]

fallofmart, thanks for this comment, but I love the long neck. ;)

I´m currently working on the rig, but I don´t have so much experience in rigging.
I use max and my question is, should I work with weight all vertices or should I work without weight all vertices?
What maks more sense?
I have this question, because I have a little problem. The bone weights of the right foot influence the left foot, I think this comes from weighting all vertices.
http://home.pages.at/flying-hawk//Vampire_Hunter//question.jpg

Would be nice if you can help me!
-Cheers,
Josef

[JSlotosch]

No one who can help?

[JSlotosch]

Well, I found the problem.

[BrettHolton]

First of all sick modelling man, really love it.

Second, is he able to go outside during the day like a normal human or is he restricted to night movement? if the later, you should probably keep his skin pale and a slightly purple to give the faint skin that most vamps / albino's have

[markovicd]

very nice work here mate... modeling is really insane! u really know the anatomy! :)

and about your problem... u have to paint weight... by default settings it caught second leg... so u need to do it on your own ...

[JSlotosch]

@Mathiu
Hello, yes I will give him a more pale and purple skin!

@markovicd
thx for your help!

[Lordrych]

Hello, Flying-Hawk, very awesome modeling, but I am actually intereseted in how you solved the problem I am also a newbie at rigging.

Baron

[JSlotosch]

Nice you like my work. :)
Well, I painted the weights with the painttool in max and than I mirrored the changes to the other foot, that was the problem. The weights from the one foot were really mirrored, (don´t no why) and not only the values!
I solved it, skinning every foot individually.

[JSlotosch]

Well, I thought that he looks a bit lonely, so I modeled a catana for him.
Hope you like it!

[Armanguy]

awesome work keep it up!

[pap87]

If he hunts vampires, where's the stake?
Excellent job so far mate. Keep it up! :thumbsup:

[almaghool]

good :thumbsup:
awesome work

[JSlotosch]

Thanks for your opinions! :)
@pap87, the stakes, well he has a sword ;)

Here I have an update with color:
http://home.pages.at/flying-hawk//Vampire_Hunter//Color00.jpg

Cheers,
Josef

[thondal]

a little crit ;) since this is so amazingly good, i was trying to find something to crit on.. the katana... if it is a dai katana (normal large katana, the kinda you see in movies and stuff) you gave him then you should make it a bit bigger;) if it is a katana then you have to make it smaller ;) just had to say that :P anywais, really nice ;)

-thondal-

[pap87]

Wow, excellent! The skin looks awesome, just not too fond of the bump on the forearms. Overall, amazing model.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

MOdel looks great, though I'm worried about the katanas sheath. It looks western, yet katanas are eastern. Maybe remodelling so the sheath woul be more accurate?

Otherwis great work.

[JSlotosch]

Hey I´m glad you still like it!
thondal, well I gave him this katana because a smaller one looks to small and a bigger one looks to big, my opinion. ;)

As you said, pap87, the bump on the forearms looks a bit strange, I will work on it.

Kurosaki Ichigo, I would change the sheat but I modeled it after a reference picture, so I not really know what I should change that it looks more than an eastern katana.

Cheers,
FHawk

[Nathellion]

Just wanted to chime in and say great job; I've been watching this wip for awhile and it's nice to see how well it's coming together, especially in recent updates.

[em3]

Your model is looking great, love the scar across his belly.. I saw this one and had to comment, great job!!

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

That's cool it still looks good. Here is a eastern katana

[JSlotosch]

Glad you like it Nathellion! :)

em3, yeah :)

Kurosaki Ichigo, thank you for this nice reference picture, I will look what I can do!

Well, started with the final rendering, but I will work a bit on the texture and, the catana.
Here hope you like it, that´s the way I wanna go with it:

eyes down...

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Eyes down hands down :P It makes the audience feel uncomrotable, and that's what you want.

[JSlotosch]

Thx for your advice! :)
I declared the Version to the final version!
