View Full Version : low poly Stoned Mouse character
Chunkey 04-01-2003, 05:52 PM Hi everyone
I am a regular over on the Polycount forum, where I'm known as Chunkey- pleased to meet you all :wavey:
I've been wanting to post work over here for quite some time but was intimidated by all the amazing work on show :buttrock:
anyhows, onto why I'm posting- this is a character I'm working on for my portfolio (only for 1 model in it so far) which started off as a little doodle I did:

and here is the model, 846 polys without the bong (which is hidden in these shots)
http://chunkey.global-illusions.com/mouse/wires.jpghttp://chunkey.global-illusions.com/mouse/wires_side.jpg
and finally, a shot of the textured model- still working on this but hopefully it will be completed within the next 24-48 hours, depending on whether I am working or not.

Comments and Critiques are welcomed for I am still getting used to modelling :)

haha I really like the feel youve got. I think the texture could use more color.. really cartoony model, the realworld texture just doesnt seem to fit in my oppinion. post some more!:thumbsup:

thanks guys- I'll work on the texture a bit more and give him some more colour- if you want to see what some other skinners are doing over at polycount, go to:

MoP has just done an awesome skin that really suits this model to a t :)

He needs a bag of sour cream and onion potato chips- nice model. I think the texture could use a little more detail but I like him overall.
Peace,

Absolutly Hilaryous. You got the feel to it
well, I mean, even on the no textured model, you can tell he's stoned. Very good.
gotta see the final thing. Just gotta see it!

lmfao! That is hilarious. I love it! Nice use of polys. I agree, he def LOOKS stoned! Gotta see the bong!
You gonna animate him?
edit: BTW, how many polys is he? I just have one crit about the teeth. I think you should either use more polys for the teeth, or use an opacity map to define them more. They look too much like white planes right now. Great job!

sorry for the lateness of this reply- had work yesterday :annoyed:
Thanks for all the great feedback- I've been working on the textures and using the feedback as a guide.
I'm going to model the teeth rather than having the alpha maps so I can give the illusion of having a more detailed model, even though the polycount is pretty low :)
JBoskma: hehe- are you my official stalker now? if so, follow me!! ;)
tobyWong: haha! that's given me some ideas...... I might do some props, and he has a bong that he lives in...... so he'll need a couch in there to veg out on ;)
BurrowingDuck: done- totally redid the eye and it looks a lot better now
ninja noodle: haha!! glad to hear you like it dude :)
LoneLobo: that movie rocks! The martial artistist priest was my favourite character in that. I think it might have had an influence, even if it were on a sub-concious level :)
Kazuya Mochu: you will soon...
GRMac13: 844 polies in the above screenshots but it will go up slightly due to adding proper teeth. I will be animating him but I gotta learn how to rig properly in either max or character studio :)
I will be updating the images tonight, along with the flats (at 128x128, 256x256 and 512x512 resolutions for the PS2 games tend to use 128 textures a lot and 256 for gamecube and xbox)
laters all and once again, thanks for the comments :D and.... I better stop using smileys so much! *makes mental note to self*

damn!!! sorry for the lateness, once more- got dragged into work yesterday :(
anyhows, here is the completed version of the mouse, minus the teeth- some people like the mouse with no teeth, others think he needs them....... oh and I smoothed out the tongue for now and just touched up the gums, to make it look more interesting :)

GREAT texture :thumbsup: I love the concept, too.
Edit: Just wondered that the mouth texture is not fitting with the one the one in the render. How come?

looks mint! but i like it with teeth... now he looks like an ice hockey puck smashed mouse! we all know how brutal that sport is! haha... love it though! keep it up man!:thumbsup: i still want to see it with the bong! :D

cANt : thanks dude :D I took the render before I changed the mouth taxture slightly- the biggest change was that I got rid of the taste buds for they seemed to be too detailed, compared to the rest of the texture. I also made the gums more varied in tone, mostly dow
ninja noodle: haha! in that case, I'll work out how to do the teeth and keep the polycount down. Afterall, he is a pacifist, *peace maaaaaan........ where's mah tab.......those colours....are.....talking to......meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee* :)
next is the bong.... gonna have to make it a lot bigger than it currently is, so the mouse can pop out the top for an animation I have planned :D
