Character: JD

[loked]

Here is another pic with a skin shader. Will be doing textures soon.

[Jhonus]

looks like a nice character with good topology, can you post some higher res stuff?

[loked]

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I dont have webspace, so if someone will host them for me, with pleasure!!

[Dr_Pepper]

Nice Start!

[loked]

Here is an update with some bump mapping and better looking skin. I will get round to specular maps and colour maps soon.

Enjoy!!! :)

[Jhonus]

nice job on the eyes.... although the bottom eyelid is a bit of a "v" shape... you could smooth that out a little.

also i suggest making the saggy bits of skin hold more volume, i guess that depends on how old you want him to look.

[loked]

Hey Krugar,

Thanks for the crit! Im not really trying to make him that old, but I'll see how things go.I'll post an update a bit later.

Cheers,

I don't know why no one has replied more to this. This is a really great style you got going here. I saw this over at cgchannel and loved it there. Anyway great job. Does it have a spec map? If it does you gotta crank it up a bit

[loked]

Hey Adam,

Thanks for the reply. I agree about the spec. It does have a spec map and I actually had it cranked up, but it made it look a bit plastic. I will play with it again and see what I can come up with. Thanks again!!

loked

[FrizzyCube]

Hey~! Lookin great! I like the exaggerated style to this. :)

In my humble opinion (and maybe it's just me) but I think he'd look better with less furry eyebrows and shorter eyelashes.

Overall I like the modeling and texturing. Can't wait to see this finished. :thumbsup:

[loked]

Hey FrizzyCube,

Thanks for the advice, I'll try out what you said and see if it looks better.

Later,

loked

[podoba]

good model.
bump and spec. good, eyes too.
well I think that main texture have many details.. it makes head no good.
try to make better texture:lightbulb :lightbulb

[WiltedEnds]

i like the pale blue-white look :p but i really like the model a lot..im not sure if you plan on animating or what your intent is on the model..but it looks wonderful...keep up the good work

[loked]

WiltedEnds:
I do plan on animating him, its actually a short project Im working on, but its going to take quite a while.

Podoba:
What exactly do you mean when you say too many details & how does it not look good?? Be more specific please.



loked

[PEN]

Looks good, nice design. I think the eye lashes are a bit over done. And some how the mouth feels a bit low. Nice work tho.

[loked]

Hey Pen,


Quite a few people have mentioned the eyelashes thing. The mouth being low is part of the cartoony look. Im not really going for an anatomically correct real look. I want a cartoony real look.

Later!! :bounce:

Ive also just attaced a pic for fun, the only real update is that there is more specularity & a funky facial expression. I havnt gotten around to adjusting the eyelashes, so they still kinda big.
Enjoy!!

Xinoz0r: Thanks, glad you like it!! :beer:


Hey everybody,

This is just a little update for fun. I know it doesnt suite him at all and I dont plan on using it. I just did it for fun. If anybody has any suggestions for hair, please let me know. Thanks!!

loked

[schmu_20mol]

actually this hair suits him pretty well...at least i think so...keep it up:thumbsup:

[loked]

Hey everybody!

I decided to go for the shaven hair. It gives him a meaner look.

I've attached a pic of his face pretty much complete, except for a few minor adjustments. Im busy workin on the body now and will get that up when I get a chance.

Here you go:

[Syrogen]

lol! he looks like a worn out rock star! great stuff keep us updated!

[Gremlin]

what 3D software do you use?
That info should be manditory, it really gets on my nerves when people post stuff (specially stuff that is good) and dont tell you what they used :argh:

however, your model looks great... awesome modeling, and super awesome style! keep it up!

Salud!
:beer:

[Teckniel]

wow looking very nice yeah what ar you using????

how many poly is that model????


hope to see more

[loked]

Hey,

Syrogen: He's gonna be in a fight scene, so I had to make him a hard looking priest!:)

Gremlin: I originally just put a link to my website where it say's what software I used. I actually forgot to say it here too. My bad!!
Dont get so stressed about it, just ask and I'll tell you:)

Teckniel: Dont know how many poly's right now, Im running kinda late, so I'll check later and let you know.

Okay, I am using Maya 4.5 and rendering with Mental Ray 1.5.

Later!!

[BladeFX]

Great looking head you've got there.
Just a bit too "pointy" on the top imo

Can't wait to see the body.
:thumbsup:

[loked]

Hey BladeFX,

Thanks!

I definitely agree with you about the head, it was worse and I fixed it, but its still not right. I'll definitely get around to fixing that.

Later!!
loked

[Wetterschneider]

Good job all round, I even like the bullet head aspect. One crit, check the corners of the mouth, they need... hm, I'm not sure how to explain, they need to not protrude so much off the surfacem can you pull them back and tuck them in? Gnarly Cranium may be able to describe the solution better.

[loked]

Hey Wetterschneider,

Thanks for the crit, I've been having quite a lot of trouble with the mouth thing already. Its was a lot worse, but I've managed to fix it to a degree. Im still gonna try and make it better. Thanks!!

Later!

[santiago]

very cool very cool

[Entangle]

This is really well done, nice personality to the character and model. You could always make brothers :P

[loked]

Hey,

Thanks Entangle and Santiago. Im glad you like it. Ive been working on the body, but its still got a long way to go.

I will keep everyone updated!!

[loked]

Hey,

Here is an update of the body. I'm not entirely happy with it, so any comments or suggestions are more than welcome!!

Oh yeah and one other thing. The storyboard for this character has really got crazy, so he is no longer a priest. Enjoy!!!:thumbsup:

[BladeFX]

I'd give him a bit more torso.
The way he looks now is kind of straight all around.
Also, I think the body is a bit to small for the head. Perhaps sizing it u a little would look more natural.

[loked]

Hey BladeFX,

When you say more torso, do you mean make his chest and shoulders a bit wider?

I dont know if it works, but I made his head bigger to give a cartoony effect. I went for more of a stylised realism than a competely anatomically correct realism. Based on that, do you reckon I should still make the head smaller? Im really still not 100% sure what works, so please any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks for the reply!!:thumbsup:

Later!!

Heya Judd :)

Your character is looking cool! I've been meaning to mail you and tell you, but I've been pretty busy the last 5 days.

I like the proportions :thumbsup:

I'd love to see some closer renders of this though :)

[loked]

Hey Leigh,

Good to hear from you! :bounce:

Im glad you like the proportions, I was'nt really too sure about that aspect of the character, but I figured it suited it better.

I'll try and get some close ups tommorow and I'll post them for you. There's nothing really all that cool to see except the face. The body is pretty ordinary.

Take it easy!! :)

Hey Leigh :)

I decided to just get one close-up posted before I hit the sack. :bounce: So enjoy!!

[Temporal]

Very cool character, especially the face. And with the suit he could qualify as the oldest Man In Black :D

If you want some ideas on an alternative outfit for him, perhaps it would be suitable to give him a hippie look, with the bell bottoms and tie-dyed shirts from that era.

keep it coming :thumbsup:

[loked]

Hey Temporal,

Thanks for the Hippie idea:thumbsup: He's probably gonna end up being an assasin of some sort, so I dont think it would suit him:) Maybe for another animation!

I'll keep you updated. LateR! :bounce:

Hey All,

Ive rendered out a few more pics. Mostly close-ups so you can see some detail. :bounce:

Hope you like em! All crits and suggestions are welcome :cool:

Hey,

Thats not cool, I put up all these new pics and not one reply!:annoyed:

At least tell me they suck!!!:rolleyes:

Later!!

[BladeFX]

;)

I like the new pics.
One thing: if he's meant to be in a close-up like pic 1, i think it's best you model his eyebrows.

If he's going to be an assasin, perhaps a long leather coat would do well?

[Kid-Mesh]

The guy looks creepy in a cool sort of way, but nicely done :applause:

[loked]

One thing: if he's meant to be in a close-up like pic 1, i think it's best you model his eyebrows.

I agree, I wasnt really planning on doing any close ups yet, but I just did some due to requests. I will get around to modelling eyebrows soon.

Thanks for the replys. Im working on a facial rig, so I'll keep everyone updated.

[leigh]

new pics :thumbsup:

I do think that you need to enhance the bump maps a little though - they should give the hair and stubble some more definition :)
Also maybe give his skin a bit more of a grain to them :)

[loked]

Hey Leigh,

Thanks for the advice. :thumbsup: I'll definitely try and get it right!

Judd(loked)

[loked]

Hey,

I've been quiet for a while., but now Im back. I've decided that I dont really like his clothes and it doesnt suit the short we're doing anyway, so I'm modelling the body and then I'm gonna use a cloth simulator for different clothes. I haven't gotten to the legs, but I've pretty much completed the upper body. Obviously no textures have been applied to the body, so dont crit on that :D

Enjoy :thumbsup:
