Hello Everyone...my Turtle Guy

[Cerealkilla]

No Comments....guess my work must be awful. :(

[thondal]

rarely people comment on my stuff too, so i thought maybe i'll comment ;) looking good... how long have you been modeling? (myself seriously for about a month or so... -blender- :P) but it is looking good... are you going to animate it or what are you going to do with it?

-thondal-

[Cerealkilla]

[Cerealkilla]

Great thanks for Comment I will work on those skinny legs tonight. Thanks ALot

[thondal]

if that is the shell he is wearing now.. i think you should make it a bit bigger... and in your drawings the legs comes out of the shell, and is not a part of it.... skip these comments if my eyes fooled me and you haven't made the shell...

-thondal-

[Cerealkilla]

Yea that was the shell but I am making it bigger. Thanks for the comment though.

[Cerealkilla]

Here is a little update. Tell me which one you all perfer. Fat or Skinny?

[Cerealkilla]

[LiquidStorm3D]

Coming along well, I like his bug eyes, that's gonna bring a lot of character when he's done, just hope the shell will match it :)

[Cerealkilla]

Thanks for the comment I am working on the shell. Which one did you like better the fat one or skinny one? I like the skinny version just want to see what everyone else thinks.
O and Yes or No to the EyeBrow?

[Cerealkilla]

Well decided to keep it simple and its a NO to eyebrows...Working on the shell right now.

[LiquidStorm3D]

Yea, a no from me as well, they look umm.... ghey. I like his skinny body, it fits well for WHY he has a shell, big protective case to cover up the small body, hehe. Good stuff.

[Cerealkilla]

Ok here is the shell...still needs some work to smooth it out better.

[Cerealkilla]

LiquidStorm Thanks for popping in and leaving comments. I always seem to not get suggestions or help from many people...guess my work has to be great like everyone elses on this site to get comments but that will come in due time. Just need to keep at it and the skill will come. Thanks again. Cheers :)

[LiquidStorm3D]

No problem, I like to help out, unlike the dry and shallow people on these forums, jk hehe. I never get replies on my stuff, so helping others with theirs seems good while i work on my own.... i figure, if i reply to theirs, they'll reply to mine, maybe, but it also helps to make friends :)

Most people don't reply, which i think is a shame, people post to ask for help, and they just browse at the good stuff and leave the others to be. I'm not a pro at any of this, still learning, but I think suggestions, whether right or wrong, good or bad, always help out with whatever people are working on. :thumbsup:

Oh yea and umm, I would make the inside of his shell [front part] curving out, instead of the small gut it has, looks weird, hehe.

[Cerealkilla]

Lol I will work on the curve up front. Are you currently working on anything? Post a link so I can pop on over. Again friend thanks for the comments and suggestions.

[LiquidStorm3D]

NP, my stuff is just beginning, but if you want to take a look...

http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=351145

Seperate his shell from the front part of it... kinda like the koopa troopa, it'll look more like he has the shell on, instead of a costume, hehe.

[Cerealkilla]

Here is a little update on me trying to fix the mouth. I also finished UVing this character so now its time to paint and do the shell over again lol.

I wanted to make the shell different from a normal shell.:attn:

Please give comments thanks everyone.

[Satellite1984]

The Key is to have the verts very close to each other at a slightly different hights
im not sure how else to xplain it
let me know when u want me to see if u did it right

[Cerealkilla]

ok another update this shell is going in a different direction more of a costume that he will be able to change for different occasions

I will do the normal shell then spice it up with tuxedo version and other ideas I recieve from everyone :)... that is if anyone still watches this thread.

looking really good now ;) can't wait to see more updates...
are you going to be using him in a animation or just pose him and render a image?

-thondal-

[Cerealkilla]

I am going to try and create John Travolta's outfit from Saturday Night fever because I want to animate my turtle just like the scene where John is walking down the street and that awesome music is playing.

[Cerealkilla]

Here is a tiny update

I am going to start texturing soon.

[Cerealkilla]

I am stuck on how to create this effect for my texture. See the picture below of the Over the Hedge Turtle well I am trying to mimic the color scheme. I want to know how to create the greenskin with a highlight of brown on it. Any help would be appreciated. THanks.

http://img116.imageshack.us/img116/7702/char11go.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

[Cerealkilla]

Does anyone have any suggestions?

[DaedraLord]

they probably coded their own shaders for alot of objects in the movie. wich is probly what you would need for the highlight of brown perhaps a brownish ambiance in your material might also help to create that effect.

[Cerealkilla]

Awesome thanks for the advice.

[Cerealkilla]

If anyone still follows this here is an update on texturing. This is my first texture job so bash it :wall: if it needs it. THanks.

-thondal-

[Cerealkilla]
