:applause: Great model lots of character and expression in his face - i love the eyebrows - how did you do them?

[fender]

Paul Carry,
thanks, this old guy is lot's O fun! The eyebrows were done with Sasquatch. It's a plug in, but with Lightwave 7.5 Sasquatch Lite is included. Could easly be done with that also.:)

don't mind the shirt, needs lots of work:thumbsdow

:thumbsup:

this hat?

[BiTMAP]

hmm the coller, its just extruded for shape, why not actualy modeled?

[fender]

IDownupI,
cool hat!

BiTMAP,
yep, I need to sit down and model out a good looking shirt. Soon, I hope...

[leigh]

That is very cool :thumbsup:
He has so much character! :D

How about adding a nice bump map now? Give him loads of wrinkles, and bump those liver spots out a bit too ;)

I think that the beard is a little too feathery. I know that Saslite is a bit tricky to get decent settings with though, but try increasing your coarseness amount. Make it look harder and scratchier.

lol make a hat like the one IDownupI posted, that would be funny :applause: keep going, this is gonna be cool :thumbsup:

Hey Leigh,
Thanks for the feedback. Here's an update with bump maps. I'm still kinda working on the scratchier beard, but here's what I have for now.:) What do you think?

squidinc,
Thanks, I'll play with the hat some what later I think.:)

That's looking cool, but in places the bump map seems to be going a little bit haywire :surprised
What kind of projection are you using - standard, or UV?

Also, try localising the bump detail - for instance, add wrinkles around his mouth and in the corners of his eyes, and places like that, where there often tends to be a concentration of wrinkles ;)

[fender]

Leigh,
Yep, there going heywire quite a bit, but I also think I went a little over board. This has been standard so far. I tried UV first but the mesh is very organic as you can see. I did cylinder and it was just not looking to good:shrug: Here's a little more progress, I think>>> I'm still going to have to localise a bit as you sugested:) thanks for all your help, hey how's the beard looking?

Beard=much better:thumbsup:

[leigh]

Yeah that beard is looking great :thumbsup:
Although I do think it could still go a little coarser :)
Make him look a little more grizzled.

Hey Remi,
Thanks! I've got to start on this old man's shirt soon and I would like to model a nice crisp dress shirt for him. I could use all the help I can get on this, so if you could keep an eye on this thread I would much appreciate it:)

Leigh,
Thanks! I'll try going a little coarser yet:) Think I should go a little higher up on his checks? Maybe just a tad bit longer too?

little more grizzled eh:D

[fender]

A little work for a better shirt. Still a little lumpy, but I like the collar much better.

your'e doing a good job, but I think his palms look too flat.

[fender]

thanks kotter.
