[Dr BeN]

o mahn .... i really really love those proportions !

i think this is an awesome model ! done with ? (xsi?)


she screams to get animated !

really love it ..... give us some tech details !

keep it updated !

[Annuostivix]

that is beyond cool. Kind of sexy in it's bizarre proportions. Great job, the high quality model cancels out the low quality viewing standards, hehe. What you might call it. :D

[Stimpy]

hehe.. think ive seen her before.. at xsibase i think ??

love the stylized look, with the exagerrated proportions.something somehow doesnt look right at the corners of the mouth and the eyes.. looks like there is some sharp corners or something

[so_hi]

Dr BeN: Yes it is Xsi. She will be animated, don't you worry.
She is all polys with geo approximation turn up to 2, I don't really know what kind of things you are looking for. Describe some things and I would be glad to oblige.

Aerestis: Thanks. I really what to have a clearly defined style, I am glad to see I am reaching people.

Stimpy: The problem on the eyes is I think the texture map on the eyelashes it ends at a hard edge I am trying to rectifiy it. I may change from a geo approach to hair (I don't want to though).
As for the mouth I like it as it is. Yes you have seen her before on The Base I have posted her on every forum I am on (my avitar is different there). Thanks for Compliments and crit.

Mmm... Very nice :drool:

As others have said, the exaggerated features look really good, I think mainly because you haven't overdone it; it's still fairly well proportioned.

I agree the corners of the lips could do with some tweaking, and, although I'm pretty sure you haven't finished with the texturing, I think the eyes need to be more "glassy."

Keep it up :thumbsup:

Edit: Spelling

[sinthetic]

Wow she is soooo creamy looking! =) Very nice body, and clothing, I think the bottom lip could be reduced by 10%, but I like the over blown proportions. You have a great style going with this model!

[Man]

Angeline Jolie is on the house:D

that´s a nice piece man!!i like the way you made her..the head sort of cartoon and the body more like a.......realistic/cartoonish exagerated (i specially like that..hehehe...just kidding),really good.....do you already have an ideia for animation??

[so_hi]

oracle:Thanks. That is what I always keep in mind with 3d. I find that 3d adds ten fold to any stylization. I have been wrestling with the eyes I had full reflections, environment maps and all and they looked really weird. I am looking into how to get them looking wet, you know those high white spec hits.

sinthetic: Thanks. I like the lip as it is but, thanks for the crit.

knoxville: It is alright to like it you just shouldn't LIKE it. Heh heh. She is the main character for my short. Hence there is plenty of ideas nothing really concrete yet though. I am concentrating on getting her modeling and texturing done after that the hugh job of rigging, then animation will start. Lots of sword play probably though.


Thanks Again All.

I have been doing slight modeling changes. Fix anatomy issues. I still have plenty to resolve.

Hope you enjoy.

[LPlasma]

Could you post a wireframe pic of the cage for the mesh? I'm curious to see the structure of the eges + such on the model.

[Isamu7]

cool model. Very well done. :applause:

[mohh]

Kewl style!

[blindsleeper]

gorgeous work... now if only i could steal your skills ;)

[LPlasma]

Looks quite nice, I like how your edges are used correctly for the most part to create the anatomy (such as the muscles along the shoulder). I'd love to see this rigged + animated, I'm sure it could be done fairly easily due to the logical structure of the edges. One thing that bothers me a tad though is some of the concentration of the edges, is this a pre-mesh smooth cage or post? If it's pre, are those lines of edges close to each other really neccessary to get the shape you are looking for? I can see doing so on things like a crease due to the way that the smoothing of the mesh works, but on something that is relatively anamorphous compared to a crease it is a bit uneccessary.

Keep us up to date as you work on this, I'd like to see how it turns out in the end.

[so_hi]

mohh:Thanks.

blindsleeper:Thanks. There is no need I am always glad to share.

LPlasma:First thanks. As for the concentratons of edges I am not sure what you are talking about. If it is pertaining to the gloves the concentration has to do with modeled details (seams). I tend to like to model any details that I possibly can. If it is something else you will have to be more specific. Thanks again for the reply.

E.

[LPlasma]

I highlighted the edges I was reffering to here. Seems uneeded to get the shape you're going for, this is just nitpicking of course. The top finger doesn't have as high of a concentration of edges on its top edge, but the shape is similar, so I was just unsure of wether or not those other lines of edges were neccessary.

yes you can steal this guy skillz

You can download it to your brain.@

:wip:

no

very good

I realy love it

But not the eyes

[so_hi]

LPlasma: Forgot to read the whole post eh?

Perhaps this will help.

http://members.shaw.ca/cosmicclock/content/images/NeoAngel/GloveA.jpg

You see I modelled the panels of the glove. The index finger on a glove does not have a seam on the outside, check next time you pick up a pair. I really don't like having to use displacements.
Hope this clears it up for you.

IDownupI: That is too funny! Are you talking about the surfacing of the eyes, the size? You need to be a little more specific. Thanks though.

E.

[nanabaky]

i think the thumb is too moulded and it's seams that she (i suppose it's a woman's hand) could lose her glove in a single wind blow...

[LPlasma]

I see what you mean, but to me it just seems uneccessary to put details like that into modeling instead of the bump maps/texture work. If that's what you're going for it's fine, but a lot of the time it's simpler to handle the model if fine details like that which are never really seen close up are done in other ways. I mean it looks nice and you can do it, just a personal preference. Also yeah, the thumb seems to taper a bit too much where it goes into the hand, I'd thicken that up a tad.

[Raideen]

:buttrock: :buttrock: :buttrock: :buttrock:

so_hi you're your a man after my own heart. on a side note she reminds me of Monica from BattleChasers.

[RmachucaA]

Hello Mamita!!!

I must say... very good stuff, was it modelled in XSI?

[Digital Magi]

good job! it's about time people started modeling more stylized characters. This photoreal fad was getting boring.:scream: :applause:

[Thelios]

I'm with ya there magi:beer:

[Wildfire]

Very cool!! Did I see this on XSIbase or another forum a while back, untextured?

[Maximillion]

Not bad at all! I really like the hips/stomach/thigh area. Great work. Same with the upr back/shoulders.
I really don't like making/looking at models in the T-pose and stopped modelling like that a few years ago. (Although I had to do it again for my lastest project due a number of factors) It's a wierd standard that someone came up with that relates to nothing. :thumbsdow
I recommend sculpting it with the arms down or at least at a 45 degree angle. Considering a model will have their arms down most of the time, it isn't really practical. And it if you're doing it to help with the weighting, do the 45 degree thing as that's the true "middle" or equadistant position between extremes.

I don't really like the face much, but it's a style thing more then anthing else.:shrug:

Buttom line, is that you gots some skillz, and having her and sexy in the same sentence wouldn't shock me a bit.
:arteest:

[so_hi]

Well Finally got some time to work on angel again.

She always was supposed to have the leg prostetics.

So here they are. The clear parts are supposed to be a solid rubber like substance.

http://members.shaw.ca/cosmicclock/content/images/NeoAngel/fullColP.jpghttp://members.shaw.ca/cosmicclock/content/images/NeoAngel/fullColO.jpghttp://members.shaw.ca/cosmicclock/content/images/NeoAngel/lowerF.jpg

I am very close to finished with the modeling, and hope to be back to texturing again soon.

nanabaky:Yes I agree the thumb needs alittle work. The gloves are short for style, and it is cg I am pretty sure they will stay on. :thumbsup:

Raideen:Thanks for the compliment. I really like Battlechasers.

RmachucaA:Yes it is xsi.

Digital Magi:I really strive for style, Thanks for noticing.

Thelios: Thanx.

Wildfire:Thanks. Yep.

Any hoo.

Hope you enjoy.

E.

[Hellwolve]

To bad for the leg prostetics. Detracts from here beauty for me :p

Solid moddeling though.

[oracle]

Hey, Hellwolve... Some would call you shallow for thinking a woman this beautiful was less attractive just because she has a prosthetic (or two) :p

Anyway... It's been a while since I checked on this model, and it's looking really good. It's really good to see her from the back :rolleyes: Those panties are tiny! I'm looking for things to crit... Nope, can't see anything :thumbsup:

Is this going to be for a still, or anim?

Call me Shallow Hal!

Hah! I don't care!

:p

C'mon, it's CGI, why can't I want my CGI perfect?

[so_hi]

I finally managed to texture something.
I have been so side tracked with fixing the geometry.

Anyhoo here is her collar.

http://members.shaw.ca/cosmicclock/content/images/NeoAngel/CollarA.jpg

Enjoy.

Hellwolve:If you knew Angels inspriration you may understand why the prostetics are there.
This is a link to the page on my site that explains here origins.

Angel inspiration (http://members.shaw.ca/murkworks/content/html/angelinspire.html)

oracle: Thanks for the Compliment. She is the main character for my film,she willl be animatied.

E.


P.S. I have no clue about what the characters mean I hope they do not offend, or say anything too stupid.

[Gremlin]

love the style, simply stunning modeling...
im in awe! :surprised

HOW DO YOU EVEN DO THAT?! :argh:

[ziopredy]

Great work! Bravo!

:applause: :applause: :applause:

[LPlasma]

Looking nice, keep us up to date as you texture it.

Yes, now I understand. She still isn't my type, but I understand.

[Stimpy]

the problem i have is that the prostetic looks too much like a human bone. it looks as if you were looking at her own bones, which makes it a bit macabre....

maybe a different design of the mechanism inside her leg would portray the idea in a different manner.


my 2 cents.

[Werner]

wow! this stuff is kickass man! I just love this.

the stuff on your website looks just as good! No crits here except for her thumbs...they are to long.

cant wait for an update. :buttrock:

[nibo]

GRAUW.....:drool:

[so_hi]

Gremlin:How? All I have to say is three little letters X-S-I. Hee hee. But seriously it does have a very robust tool set that I personally have really clicked with. It enables me to do things that mind you, you can do in any package, only faster and easyer.

ziopredy:Thanks. Oh nice work on your site by the way. I really like your robot chick and your E3 Model Vers 2. :thumbsup:

LPlasma:Thanks. I plan to.

Hellwolve:She is not for everyone. Thanks for the replies.

Stimpy:I guess I have succeded. You basically described exactically what I was going for. Thanks for the reply.

Werner:Thanks. I too like the stuff on your site. I really love the gattling gun snail, the defs and surfacing in the animation are so well done. It needs an anmo box, huge fire and casings flying all over.

nibo: HeEeee http://www.cgtalk.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[nanabaky]

Is she asian like ? if yes, her face doesn't looks ! :p

But it doesn't matter, it roxes !

[boxcrash]

very cool.

I love the fact that you modeled the tubing in the gloves into the mesh.

That is very good, I agree taking shortcuts sometimes, but in this case(not for realtime) awesome job,very good eye for detail.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[so_hi]

And the texturing continues.

[so_hi]

I managed to squeeze her into it.

http://members.shaw.ca/cosmicclock/content/images/NeoAngel/topD.jpg

Long way to go but thought I would share progess.

Enjoy.

E.

[mohh]

Looking great, keep us posted. :)

[AtrusDni]

Hey, looks awesome man! The only thing I would change would be the eyes and lips, they seem too big. (my personal taste) The eyes more so then the lips. But Judging from the rest of the body, it was obviously intended and it goes with the style. I love the attention to detal, like the straps on the back, and how the skin slightly folds over them. Excellent work, please keep it updated!

[Sublime]

I would love to animate this character! Great work, the style is wonderful and it hold true throughout the whole model.

Keep it up!:buttrock:

[CENOBITE]

BRAVO! Now, THATS cool. The exxxagerated style first put me off...


but the prosthetics/kanji etc... I LIKE IT!

Oh baby.

Keep up the fraggin good work. (I look forward to seeing her in a kick-ass pose in a steamy Blade Runner environment. nudge-nudge, wink-wink)
:xtreme: :bowdown:

[so_hi]

mohh:Thanks

AtrusDni:It is all in the details. Thanks for noticing. I am trying for style, I know it is a fine line between style and freakish. Thanks for the reply.

Sublime: I would love to animate her too but, unfortunatly she is not even close to being rigged. Thanks for the compliment.

CENOBITE:Thanks. As for the blade runner thing Ridley is one of my favs/influences I will try by best.

Here is my progress, not to much of it but, I added some wear/age maps to the top.

[LPlasma]

Looking nice, the only thing that really bugs me so far is the hair. I'd work on that texture.
