DWIV - 3D - Verasl - Cyborg, Banshee

[Xidon]

Wow nice design, would be sweet to see more in later days. Maybe we could be a clan at the end :beer:

[Verasl]

Early sketches.

[Verasl]

Here's an update, I've started working on the chest and pelvis area.

Crit's are very much welcome.

[Spartistic]

Comming along nicely my friend. :thumbsup:, Very nice ideas, keep it up. Will be good to see you narrow down the design, but well have to wait and see i guess :cry:

[ersinerturk]

you have impressive concepts here. i think you should make her lower body thinner or longer.
i also liked the designs for her weapon arm.

[namnocilis]

Great start! i liked all the designs.. though i felt that ones with a opening in Abs / hip area seems a bit more vunerable to attacks.. the booster wings concept is nice too..
waiting for updates..

[Verasl]

Thanks ersinerturk,

I think I'll go with making her lower half longer.

I'm still trying to decide which direction to go with the gun, either long and sleek or short and fat.

[Verasl]

Thanks namnocilis,

Yea, I've decided not to go with the open areas in the torso, even though it show that she's a cyborg the best.

I'm having trouble trying to decide what to do with the chest area atm. :banghead:

[tewicks]

Choice man, just make sure you figure out how the flesh will work when it joins with the machine parts. Looking forward to seeing more!

[Verasl]

@Untamed

Yea defiantly, I'm thinking so far there will be alot of scar tissue, and maybe burnt looking as if it was seared together.
Main problem is making sure it still looks beautiful, haha.

[tewicks]

Yeah thats the hard part! Im sure some of those posters in your will be of great influence.. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Verasl]

haha, too true :beer:

[Darkra]

Loving the combo of armour designs with the circit-board details. Shoulderpads are especially cool :thumbsup:

Can't wait to see the progression of the model.

[Verasl]

Here's an update.

So far I'm happy with it, proportions need to be fine tuned.
I haven't worked on the booster wings yet, hopefully have those done tonight.

Keen for crits.

[StefanoDubay]

love the round gun and the spine in the fluid
tht's great
maybe some neural sensors or extensions branching out from the visible spine would be neat too :)

[Xidon]

Sweet dude looking nice. Can't wait to see the wings. Maybe make it slightly more scary/intimidating/wartorn :thumbsup:

[Spartistic]

man that looks awesome. it looks like you managed to combine all the best parts together. i like how you made the gun part of the arm. keep it up man :buttrock:

[digitalinkmind]

I see potential on the last option for the character´s torso...looks creepy:D
Nice cyborg.

[Verasl]

Quick update on the booster wing

[adib]

Nice designs,wait to see on 3D!:buttrock:

[Verasl]

Here's a quick rough colour.

This may be it for 2d, into the world of 3d tomorrow maybe.

[nellement]

Sweet ,I really like the weapon design would be nice to make that circle like shape on her arm plate to make it consistent with the weapon design,helmet could be more unique its kinda UT rightnow anyways will follow this progress.

[questionmarks]

nice one...^^
but would it be better if some part of the weapon is bigger/smaller??
like make the head of the weapon smaller...so that the round shape is more outstanding...
just a thought..^^

[Verasl]

@questionmarks
Good idea, I think I will play with those things in 3d, will be easier to see what it looks like.

Here's a small update, first 3d.

http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/7999/1st3d.jpg (http://img10.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1st3d.jpg)

[Spartistic]

looking good man, hip region looks really good :drool:. might need some more work around the top of the breasts up round the arm joints/ where the join in geometry is. hey its a wip so just something to think about if you havent already... but overall very nice start :thumbsup: man keep it up

[DTRAN]

Hi, you have something beautiful here. I dig the two stripe war paint with the serial number over the right breasticle. Keep going!

[APD-Jack]

Wow! :buttrock:
You got a reaally nice concept.. Female characters are always good choice to get original ideas.. Their gender is an opportunity to dodge cliches..
Even if she's a cyborg, it's a matter of time that your concept got crazy :thumbsup:

Congrats
Lookin' forward to see her in 3D

[Verasl]

Update

I've had a very unproductive last few days. legs have been fully blocked out now, I'll be working on the arms all day today, so hopefully they will get done.

[Xidon]

Sweet your kicking my ass:) looking good. Just wandering if her head maybe a little small?

[Verasl]

@Xidon

Yea your right, I've just increased the size of the head piece, seemed to do the trick.

[Ferx]

Hey Andre,

Cool concept and models :D like a lot the right arm weapon, very cool design!! Good luck and waiting for more updates! Cheers!! :beer:

[Spartistic]

looking really nice man :) keep it up. i love the design and it gets better the more geometry you add mmmmmmmm :applause: youll be finished the model before you know it with progress like this

[kmanning]

Great design ya have there, and solid modeling.. waiting for updates

[tewicks]

Coming along well so far mate. You know I like the concept, and ill try and give you a good crit once you get the whole thing blocked out / built.

looking good, keep it up.

[Verasl]

Small update, Have been really slack recently xD

I want lots of critiques for overall scale and shapes, so I can then go over it before adding detail.

Thanks guys for all the comments, I'm hoping to get the pose done today so critique asap :beer:

http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/2489/update9lowres.jpg (http://img27.imageshack.us/my.php?image=update9lowres.jpg)

[tewicks]

Hey man,

Ok, for starters...

I think that she is coming along quite well, the body shape is looking quite accurate also.

First thing I see when I look at this is I feel she needs a bit more variation in the silhouette. So you could do this by changing some of the armor plates to break up the curves. Like I think that you can still incorporate female curves into the metal parts of the model, but do it in a way that it draws your eye to it, rather than it just being a flat curve (i.e. the legs). You may be planning on doing this in the detailing phase, but I am just suggesting it now, as I normally do this in the blocking out phase.

I think that the claw/hand could use a bit more work on how it connects to the wrist, this is pretty bad ref, but I can show you later when I get home

http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/020816/161035__treasure_planet_l.jpg

I was also thinking you should work on how the shoulder pad connects to the upper arm/shoulder. Right now the angle made between the neck/shoulder and shoulder pad is quite plain if you know what I mean.

But overall looking good, if in the detail stage, you get it closer to what your concept art looks like, I am sure the end result will be very good :)

Go motivate the other guys now ;)

[Verasl]

Another update, just roughed out the jump jets and I also did a quick paint over in photoshop for fun.

[Xidon]

Sweet looking great. Loving the quick paint over. If this is where its going to be heading, you're on to a winner. Not too sure if the shinny black metal suits so much, needs roughing up a bit, great work though keep it up. :buttrock:

[Verasl]

Here's a pose idea, I'm only worried about the poly's that will be needed to create the smoke.

http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/284/update11.jpg (http://img27.imageshack.us/my.php?image=update11.jpg)

[Verasl]

Ok, so here's the pose.

Still need to work on the claw hand, as it needs a thumb and some alterations.
There's no back render because her ass looks like crap at the moment, haha.

[vikramvr]

Nice work so far. Love the wings you have modelled, also the helmet. Great concept too.

[Spartistic]

Hey man going great. Sorry for not posting earlier, havnet had much time lately ie you can see i havent updated mine lol. I agree with most of what Untamed suggested. The hand definately needs more character as you can see from the front view it looks kinda like a spatula. As for proportions from the posed model they are looking pretty good to me. I like the contrast in the colour with the shiny black metal and the decomposing flesh. It just lets you know how un human machines can be, as it looks as if they dont understand flesh too well :D, keep it up man i look forward to more updates.

[syrez-one]

Heya! This reminds me of something I've seen some time ago. but dunno exactly. I like it! The hand as said before, will need your work though. But coming along very well! Keep it up!

[Soggyclog]

I like this a lot. Very different from all the spiky noisy stuff in the competition... The curved machine bits are still very feminine and sleek. Your presentation skills are awesome too. Keep it up!

[StefanoDubay]

wow i like the vintage design somewhat of a scifi prometheus from the '70s with a moderm twist, very cool! i would stay away from posing her just yet, the resurface wold be a real pain otherwise the anatomical correction maybe done on the gamemesh too once finished and posed, dunno the way you are planning to make this, just to share my thoughts
keep it up!
S

[madshooter]

Beautifull Dude. Very unique looks great:)

[Verasl]

Thank's to everyone for all the comment's

@Spartistic
All good, I just really wanna see updates. Hopefully I've fixed the problem with the hand that you and untamed commented on.

@StefanoDubay
Well I'm doing her all in modo, she's all in separate item's and things like the legs and boosters are instances, also all the symmetry is kept from the un-posed pose, so adding more details is quite easy. I just feel it helps me to see how the final thing will look if I work on her posed. But I'll soon find out if it was a bad idea when it comes to baking the low-poly, haha.

Anyhow, onto the update.

Really just going over it piece by piece, so one piece isn't really done, it's just all slowly getting more detail.

Will probably work on a body texture tomorrow, as seeing the plain skin is kinda annoying me :banghead:

[questionmarks]

the back view looks great...love it...^^
but the right arm looks like cant merge with the rest of the part well to me...
other that than are all great...LOVE HER!!!

[Darkra]

Nice update man! Looking grand!

will be interesting how the final result of the jet flames will look.

[Verasl]

Update,

Just been working on the displacement for the skin.

http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/6599/wip14.jpg

[ersinerturk]

skin work in your last update looks great, keep adding details, but i liked your previous update most. with flames and wing-like jet-engines she's going to look awesome, i can imagine. one thing to critique at this stage: g-string doesn't fit the concept (i guess you put it there temporarily). you could make hips mechanical or cover there with parts that belongs to a tail (like planes have, of course not exactly like them :P)

[Soggyclog]

This is pretty insane... Very nice job! I agree with Questionmarks about the terminator hand not really matching the style of the rest but it's up to you...

Man... I think my computer would crash from just opening your file :)

[Verasl]

@questionmarks
Yea, I can definitely see where your coming from, I had a quick think and was wondering what if her arm was a blade like weapon, made to look like a wing or tail, as it seems most people are getting the aircraft vibe from this.

@ersinerturk
Thanks, I need to work lots on the flames, plus they get in the way while modelling so I tend to turn them off xD. As for the g-string, at first I didn't want anything there(mainly because there would be no reason for a cyborg that's obviously a robot to hide those thing, and second to save trying to figure out what a cyborg would wear) but I'm worried if I have nothing there It would be a bit too far out there, and the rules do say keep nudity and gore to a decent level.

Any idea's or suggestions are welcome, would love to sort these problems before moving to far forward.

[Xidon]

Hey dude, fantastic work, I like how much you have progressed since last time I saw this. I', liking the skin damage (I know you will, but definitely need discolouration for the skin defects). Good to see some colour on it. :buttrock:

[tonytrout]

This is looking fantastic, especially when you can see where you are going with the paintovers. Shes hot, stick to the gstring, why wouldnt a cyborg with jets on her back and great breasts not be wearing a G string ?? Any way what i wanted to say is that the right blade hand doesnt really gel with the rest of the design, but great stuff. look forward to seeing more :)

[Ataulfo]

Awesome stuff:thumbsup:

keep it up:beer:

[Verasl]

Update

Just been working all over it, slowly adding detail bit by bit. Got a bit more colours sorted, the two stripes on her breast need fixing as the are getting distorted.

The hand is gonna stay, just because I cant think of anything and time is running thin so it will have to do.

Thanks for the comments and crits, keep em coming.

[Xidon]

This deserves a big fat WOW :drool: :buttrock: this is mint, the texture add so much. I'm loving it. Wings still look like they need a bit of detail in them. In the top middle pic you can really notice. Well done dude.

[QuantumPixel]

looks pretty good so far.. I think the arms are the weakest link. I find it hard to read some how with the weapon arm and where the skinny arm meets the body it would benefit you to work on that area beefing up the transition between machine and flesh. Skin sliding over cables and hoses comes to mind. with some plugs or some mechanical items creating some negative space in the area.

other then that pretty good so far.

[Verasl]

@QuantumPixel
Yea, I have a few more pipes to put in, and little more techie bit which should hopefully fix this.

Here's a super quick mapping test. the UV's were just atlas so there are seams like a mofo.
I'm a little worried about the poly limit, especially after the helmet, I'm starting to think so many smooth curved surfaces was a very bad idea :cry:

and yea the lighting and reflection are baked on, it wont be like this on the final.
http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/159/quickyy.jpg

[Soulcialism]

agreed with some of the other comments about the arm. i feel like the shoulder armor plate obscures the organic/cyborg transition, which creates kind of a disconnect. if you replaced the plate with actual geo, i think it would read much better. hoses, gears, plugs, whatever. just something to illustrate where the arm meets the body.

[Spartistic]

Any chance of some wireframes of the low poly?

[Verasl]

Update.

I have created the low poly and atm it's sitting around 9170 polys, this should leave me with enough to add more pipes and the smoke and flames from the boosters.

The textures need quite a bit of work, but I will move onto the base first then go back to fix up the texture maps.

http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/184/wip16.jpg

[Xidon]

Sweet looking good dude. But I think you meant to say 9170 tris and not polys :beer:

[Ghostesper]

lookin awesome dude! I've been watching this one. machine to flesh connections are well done especially with the charred skin. Lok forward to the final texture map.

[Ghostesper]

[Darkra]

excellent work bro!!!

Low poly model looks fantastic!

Good job on textures too:applause:

[Spartistic]

looks great man, i think your choice to have the metal have a nice gloss/liquid black look turnd out to be a good choice as it turned out really really nice :), cant wait to see the final, as it will be great to see how much the final detail can add to the overall finished quaility. :applause:

[Verasl]

Here we go, some of my finals, C&C very much welcome.

great work mate it turned out really well. One of your best character i think :thumbsup:

[tewicks]

Awesome bro, came out real well.

Good luck for the judging :D may the best machine-thing win!

[Darkra]

Superb stuff!

Congrats on getting it finished :beer:


Textures came out looking great, the reflective metal is also real nice.

The final image looks a bit too contrasty for my liking, but thats just my personal preference, so all in all, well done, and I hope u make it into the finalists! :thumbsup:
