Character: [WIP] Da Dude | C&C welcome

[SimonReeves]

looks really nice so far mate

crits eh?
erm..
maybe the belly button is a wee bit big? thats what I thought anyways
:p

[rsalonen]

This is very nice, very nice proptions, maybe his forhead is a little to big, not sure thou.

The ribs on the side is maybe a bit to sharp, since the rest of his body is pretty well built they shouldn't be that visible.

Keep it up dude! ;)

[clojster]

Really nice!! :thumbsup:

but my crit would be this:
I thimk his ribcage has bad direction. (They should be a little bit more horizontal...)

[SirManfred]

Veqtue and yEd: Those are muscles... i know they are too defined and i will de-define them soon :)

[Egyt]

Looking very good imho, he needs some bodyfat :P Damn can I get those abs! No no Im not jellous, not at all, bug off now will ya :|... ;P His collarbones look very straight, maybe need some more "s" form. Cant wait to see final render, gj and keep it up!

Cheers!

[Tottebias]

Looking sweet Manfred. He looks depressed :)

[SirManfred]

Thanks for your replies! :D Keep em coming :wip: :bounce:

Here is another pic, big one, the render on the left is new :D

[Jhonus]

Hey man fred, looking blooming awesome it is. Skin looks nice and taut.

Those side muscles on the ribcage are still looking pretty funky though.

keep at it, and give him some nipples

[SirManfred]

Krugar: Thanks, mate :) He will get nipples, don't worry.

And thanks everyone else.
Here is another update.

[DrakeX]

the guy in your av sure looks familiar... ;) funny seeing you here, no wait no it isn't, you're one of the people who posted on the DB forums that prompted me to come here..!

model's looking good as always. the face is eerie -- it looks almost like he's actually looking at me --!

[SirManfred]

DrakeX: Ah its YOU! :D Whats up dude?

[Mathias]

great work! :buttrock:

I love the face, but what happened to this guy to make him so sad??

keep it up!

/mathias

[etimpa]

Nothing to add to the crits yet. but think about gravity, give him a "real" look. Hes too firm. Like a statue. :D

Or make him look like andrea corr. now THATS hot ;)

[SirManfred]

Thanks Mahatma and Timpa :)

Here is another update, as you people can probably see, the arms aren't very detailed yet. But they will be :)

http://gngd.jaggedpath.com/wip/arghgab10.jpg

[clojster]

I think his hips are fat... but I need to see whole body

[SirManfred]

yEd: Hmm, i don't think so though. But you may be right

Here is a test-render :)
http://gngd.jaggedpath.com/wip/arghgab17.jpg

[clojster]

Sorry to deface your image, but I just wanna help ;)
Here is checked what I mean. And I still think so...
Otherwise it's just great! (I like his sad look)

[SirManfred]

Ah, i see what you mean.

[Setherial]

Looks awesome man !
as I said before the angle of the thumb looks slighly off, aside from that there isn't much that strikes me right away.

good going and keep it up !! :buttrock: :buttrock: :buttrock:

D

[Ayreon]

Really impressive work! I love the face, it's so life like, and it doesn't even have textures applied. Man, I'll be keepin' my eye on this one!! :thumbsup:

Ayreon

[Lukashi]

looks nice, before u added that armor it looked kinda like jesus on the crusifix in some of the renders

[SirManfred]

Thanks!
I wont use that armor for this guy, though.
Here is another test render. I will complete the legs and trash the pants :)

http://gngd.jaggedpath.com/wip/arghgab27.jpg

[DrakeX]

looking much more human with the hair :D

BTW that's some futuristic-looking armor, not to mention he's wearing a mic. what's he for?

as for what's up? you already know :) (minotaur)

[SirManfred]

DrakeX: Im not sure yet. Probably will be in my reel when i make it :)

[frameless]

great model:thumbsup: can't wait to see it finished so please: keep on UPDATING!!!:p

[Titan]

good stuff man ....keep it going!!

[Orbitronio]

Looks very realistic, good job there man. But please leave the pants on :wip: :thumbsup:

[SirManfred]

Titan: Thanks man :)

Orbitrono: You sure? ;) He will have something covering but i will still make the whole body

[Izu]

hehe..i gotta say...that glove he has one really makes him look...*cough*GAY*cought* :D no offence but i think u should loose it ;) bump bump

[Lordrych]

ACtually i would have to disagree with the Glove comment, I think it works as long as you make the guy rough and tumble type character. If not Then you are going to have to drop them. Ohterwise it looks pretty damn sweet. His eyes scare me though!!!


Rych

[xynaria]

Face has quite a developed presence but the rest is still rather in the 'generic' stage..which indicates a lack of adequate reference.....couldn't be arsed to wait for the later renders.. there ain't any excuse for file sizes that big for WiPS.. some are on 56k remember.....and his missing member is a bit of a mystery,. :) :beer:

[SirManfred]

Thanks for your replies!
And sorry for the too big images. I will try to compress in the future and not use too big images.

Here is my latest update. I worked a bit more on the face.
Improved the face texture (i think) and the eyes and i also fixed some other things.

http://gngd.jaggedpath.com/wip/arghgab35.jpg

Cheers!

[xynaria]

Around the mouth is defintely getting there but the eyes and sockets really need to pull up to the same level of articulation. :)

[DrakeX]

wow those eyes are piercing :o

there's something not quite right about the skin.. it's the right color and diffuses light nicely and all but.. the reclections seem too smooth. believe me i'm kinda greasy and i know how skin reflections look :P also the stubble doesn't seem to affect the skin, it should affect the reflectivity and have itty bitty shadows.

[rolhionjs]

Hey ! your modeling skills are awesome ! I really like this anatomy. The face has alot of emotion.
Texturing is coming great as well. The only point i would discuss, is about eyes. They seem to be to luminous, but you can check that easily ;)

Keep going such a great work ! :buttrock:

[SirManfred]

Thanks guys... here's an update :)
And thanks .::STRIKE::. :D

[SirManfred]

Time for another damned update! :D

Cheers!

[KingMob]

hey manny, looks great so far, i really like the subtle muscvle bumps beneath the skin.

My only crist right now are his hair..its eems thick for a shaved head, but if you plan on using realy hair on him its ine..if hes gonna be bald it shouldnt be so..full brown.

Also the thumb looks just a wee bit off..might be the bend tho? not sure.

nice work man, not give him some clothes...

[SirManfred]

Thanks dude! :)
Here's an update i just finished rendering :)
http://gngd.jaggedpath.com/wip/arghgabnt06.jpg

[SirManfred]

I rigged his face a bit... kinda...

http://gngd.jaggedpath.com/wip/arghgabnttest3.jpg
http://gngd.jaggedpath.com/wip/arghgabnt08.jpg

[SirManfred]

Look! He can smile!
http://gngd.jaggedpath.com/wip/arghgabnt09.jpg

[DrakeX]

something happened to his face, he looks much much older than he used to and somehow he's lost a lot of the expression. also in the smiling picture he looks a bit stoned ;)

the hair looks a bit funky :) like a little kid shaved his head, it's kinda... patchy. doesn't look bad, just funny :)

legs look nice too! tho the crotch... should we call him "lumpy"?

[SirManfred]

Hehehe, so you noticed?

Here is something for fun:
http://gngd.jaggedpath.com/wip/animtest2.avi

[Ech0]

how did you render the shaded with the wire

[KolbyJukes]

He looks sick. I think the Face texture is too yellow/green.

I really like your modelling.

-Kol.

[Blacklion]

:thumbsup:
Thanks for sharing your work with us Mr. manfred.

Maaaaan!
After I uncrumpled myself from underneath my couch due to feelings of visual inadequacy.
I saw that your work provided solid answers to questions I had about facial form/detail that were evading me.

cool

[Matt Wynne]

Looks just like a Dutch guy I know....name of Ed.
