Female I have been working on here and there. It is has been a 2 phase process. I built the girl to go along with some figure drawing sketches for me demo reel. Was supposed to be an anatomy study...got bored more or less...Then while revamping some old models I decided I was in need of a female..so she was dusted off and now I am working on her suit.

Maya 4.5
Polys, Nurbs, Subds
Box method

C&C welcome. This is also my first female model, so whatever I can do to make her better please let me know.

Thanks for your time,

Hickory

Wow man! that really kicks ass. Keep updating. I'm looking foreword to it.

Thanks for the Scaven info. After you directed me to look for scaven material, it kinda overtook my project. If there ever was any doubt it was influenced by scaven (skaven). I put them to rest. It totally is now.

Right on. Skavens are one of my favorite races to play. I really can't wait to see what the outcome of your challenge entry. He's coming along nicely.

Might be a little while for a update. My goal is to get her and a few other characters together for my demo reel. Might have an interview really soon.

You have given very little to crit. Maybe a few rendered views would help.

Ears are done. Any thoughts welcome...

I was wondering when you were going to tackle the ear issue. It's not the funest feature to model. Looks freakin great.
Hickory

Well, as far as poly's go, i haven't really made a character that is any higher a poly count that this girl is. But that ear is really hi res compared to her. I would assume I should just wait till I smooth or smooth proxy her to connect the ear...I usually just set the ear into the geometry and don't connect...thoughts?

Thanks SmfJersey. I spent 5 hours trying to get that damn earright. The Hobbit Guy has a geeat tutorial. I started with his way, then just went from there. The rest of the body should be almost done by tonight, then that leaves plenty of time to do the armor.

Great Job hickory 2.5 you are the best artist in the world...keep up the good work!!!! I have never seen hands that good ever...not even my own are that great. Makes me want to cut mine off and replace them with virtual ones...wow, takes my breath away:)
Hickory
03-04-2003, 02:56 AM
Whoa, thanks Hickory 2.5!!! I really appreciate the kinda words...but they aren't that good...keep your real hands, they might come in handy some day...haha...handy, get it...hahaha...

LoL are you talking to yourself or are you keeping your post on the first page....hehe jk, i think the head needs a little work something looks funny about the back of her head. her face also looks a little chubby. but those tata's look pretty good are you using reference.....
Hickory
03-04-2003, 04:17 AM
Answer to your first question....yep:) I have been going back and forth with a ton of female photos...trying to make my own girl using anatomical references. That tats were the hardest thing. for the longest time she had 2 huge wholes on her chest...thanks...

Lookin good! I like her outfit. Has a nice semi sci-fi feel to it. I love the huge t*tties too. Since 3d isnt real why are so many compelled to make reality? Pursue your fantasy. heh.

Keep posting pics of the hand progress since I am right where you are with my hand model and your pics help a lot.

Keep it up!

hmmmm the ears looks nice makes me wonder why u used a complex modelling technique on the ears but on the head u didn't try as hard with the way u modelled it:hmm:
Hickory
03-07-2003, 01:43 AM
Hmm...ok. Good crit, really. Yeah, the more I look at her face, the more I really need to adjust a few things. Think the eyelids and the cheek areas. I do plan to smooth her in poly mode so that the level of detail will be consistent.

Part of that also comes from her being modeled in pieces with lots of time between each piece. Her body without the ears or backpack is almost a year old. I got really frustrated and shelved her. But I really want to finish her now.

Anyone else???
Hickory

YankyBJeans- thanks a lot. I love and hate hands all at the same time. This model has given me nothing but trouble. Just seems to take forever to finish anything dealing with her.

Thanks for the encouragement, this post doesn't seem to be getting much attention which sucks, because I could really use the crits.

Anyone else? Thoughts? Laments? Bashings?

Ya know....I myself am most definitely a boob-man. I love them...but her jugs seem too big. In the third image they are almost as big as her head. If you can post a rendered image without the armor, it might be easier to judge. You do also need to work on the face. There is too much cheek space between the eyes and mouth. Remember...in human proportions, the eyes are on the center horizontal line of the face. Yours are too high. Don't get me wrong...for a first female model, it's coming along really well.:thumbsup:

I've been out of the loop. I just got back from GDC. Kick ass hands. Thats a fact. The boob thing, well that's just preference.
Hickory
03-07-2003, 07:58 AM
More hands. I think they are just about finished. I just got to attach them and decide if I am going to leave them with no fingure nails or with. A few different views.

smfjersey- Yeah, boobs are about preference:) I hate modeling hands as much as I hate ears, but those 2 parts have come out the best...well except for the boobs:)

I should be at GDC on saturday. I gotta drop of some demo reels and resume's try to get a job up here instead of having to look in LA.

OK, Hickory- the jet-pack girl looks promising.:) Examining those arms, you've got carapace coming up over the wrist and onto the hands, which looks a little restrictive. Perhaps it would be better if it just came to the wrist. You could design cool cyber gloves or something for her hands instead:thumbsup:
Hickory
03-19-2003, 09:13 AM
The carapace is going to be separated so that it can move with her hand when needed. Cyber gloves are actually in the works...trying to think what I would like to do with them. Was also considering not putting the full arm armor on her other arm, and making the whole suit kinda mixed and matched. Maybe her right arm and leg have armor but not the left. Maybe make one side armored and the other is more for the fast stuff. Hand to hand combat, gadgets, delicate stuff. Have one side appeal to the macho blow stuff up side of things and the other is more for the technical side...She still has a whole lot of work...makes me happy and sick all at the same time.

Small Update:

Did some detailing a bit on the body and arm joints. Mostly trying to make it look like there is a suit under the armor and not her skin.

A few pics of the armor, her, then both. C&C are welcome...and encouraged.

I am trying to keep the whole look very light. The suit isn't really made for combat. It would hold up ok, but it is mainly for exploring environments much like Earth.

Ideas for her hair are welcome. I want her hair to be short, just really not a clue how to do it.

Thanks for your time

Holy crap! that's looking great man. I've been in Mexico for a while. This has come a long way since I left.
Hickory

Slowly...This is either going to be one of those post, that gets finished with little notice, or people are going to actually stop and look and realize they have missed something.

Any ideas about hair?

smfjersey and Grub, thanks a lot guys for being there. I haven't had a whole lot of luck getting anyone else to post crits.
