Hi all,

I've been working on this character the last couple of days. I think he's starting to look on target and I'm wondering if anyone else can see who he's supposed to be shaping up to be.

Here's a screen cap of the wire:

He's modeled in Lightwave 7.5 in layers and subpatch mode. He has got some funky contours because I'm going to animate his major wrinkles while he talks and his face is definitely not symmetrical.

The ears are just placeholders at the moment until I get the face right (or as close as I can).

More images are here:

Thanks for taking the time to look at this and telling me if you can guess who it is.

:beer:

Hi, thanks, but there's no skin shader yet. It's just a dull matte with fresnel added done in a GI/radiosity render. I haven't painted him or added a bump map yet because I want to get the model down first.

the updated pic reminds me of max headroom for some reason.

An update... tossed the last update. Somewhere the modeling had gone further south than I had hoped. I think it's coming back around again.

I'm shooting for Jack Nicholson... is it even remotely looking like him?

I guessed it was him (when he was a bit younger hehe) even without the eyebrows,the thing that kept me in doubt was that he looked so friendly when you first posted him :) ...but it's really starting to look alot more like him.He always seems to look a bit evil in my opninion,probably sounds weird hehe :rolleyes:

Thank you! I was about ready to throw the model out since no one seemed to be able to tell.

I'll stick to it, then, I guess. Thanks again.

I saw it was Jack from pic one!!! The eyebrows in last post are spot on... but the mouth is not there yet. Maby it is. Im just picturing him with a wide grin or an 'angry face'. so do some morphs!!!

nice model...

Thanks, all. You should see the weird collages of Nicholson pix I have here... few are large, very few are with his face relaxed, except for that one linked above, and there are practically no profile shots of the man...

Normally I get a face on and profile shot to model from, but I've only been able to look at the pictures I've saved and tried to copy them as closely as possible, but it's been frustrating.

Can't wait to do the ears... sigh.
