thankyou fabiopavia,
definitely i will correct that part.

[danielmn]

it might be me but the brow is looking a little to high can you repost your reference on this page so we have something to compare to

plus the topology on the belt pieces look a little funny.

but the feel of the skin looks really good.

waiting ur update.

[Pixanaut]

Like everyone else, I'm impressed. Nice job so far. I can't wait for the finished one.

It'd be cool once you get it done to team up with someone who has an Iron Man model and do some scenes/dioramas (unless you have an Iron Man model up your sleeve too?).

Keep up the great work.

[renz]

:banghead:
uff..
i couldnt complete hardsurfacing ,
now, it seems complicated for me.. :scream:
but i tried to add more objects on his suit. hope, i would be able to finish it in another couple of days...
lot more to do... days and nights are getting finished so soon. :cry: my calender shows only 28 days.... (2 days cut off) is everybody having the same calender like mine.?.. hahaha :drool:
i am taking a nap for a while, too tired..
and here is my latest update.

http://i946.photobucket.com/albums/ad306/cgrenesh/12.jpg

[renz]

thanks kyhalbu,Pixanaut, guhh, Ritesh and Tombery.

[mjackson126]

great progress so far. this look awesome.

[renz]

helo,
i think, i need to give more time for vanko, i did a simple rig setup in maya, now i am adjusting the skin weights, and testing the deformations. (as i am not comfortable with transpose tools), i know it is time taking process, but just i hate transpose:wip:

i am planning to make a wrecked f1 race car also to the scene. if i get enought time, i will work on it for the final diorama.
here is a snapshot from maya.

http://i946.photobucket.com/albums/ad306/cgrenesh/14.jpg

[renz]

here is a small update, still i am working on it, just hav a look,
do critique and comment.
http://i946.photobucket.com/albums/ad306/cgrenesh/15.jpg

[lbelerique]

Hello cgrenesh, it's looking good, although the image is too small, it's difficult to really assess the work, but from the previous shots you posted, the details on the chest apparatus are awesome.
The only thing I don't like is the base, but I suppose it's only temporary, and it's a small detail really :)

Excellent work, keep it up!

[kyhalbu]

looks good...
waiting for him to do some action pose....
And the hair too... without hair it's not looking Ivan Vanko.

[lbelerique]

Yes, I agree with kyhalbu about the hair, although for me the resemblance with Mickey Rourke is already there, but with the hair it will look great. Any ideas on making the hair?

[renz]

thanks lbelerique and kyhalbu
the base which is ther in my previous update will be replaced with another one,

i did a test pose on my rig,
i think i m close to the final one.
here is an update

[kyhalbu]

You are a very good modeler renesh. I admire your skills.
My favorite thread so far.
Now the real work starts renesh. I am too eager to see your sculpting work now.
I have seen some of your previous sculpting works... Very impressive. I am sure this one will come out good as well.
Keep it up renesh. I am too excited to see it finished.

[renz]

thanks kyhalbu,
just few more accessories to finish,. den i will start sculpting.

[Jay-Mo]

Great pose! This is really looking great.

[Scote]

Ya great pose. I love when people choose a strong pose.

[debashishbj]

the pose is creating nice drama and personality. wish u all the best for the challenge :)

[renz]

thanks jay-mo, Scote and debashishbj for the comments..
Now, i am going to start sculpting.... :wip:
i can't wait for more, will do rest of the modeling part along with sculpting.
till then, just check this out, i have a new update.
hope you like it.
http://i946.photobucket.com/albums/ad306/cgrenesh/18.jpg

[JM-art]

Arms are too symetrical, head too straight, dosn´t feel natural to me, the modeling job is superb so far, but i´m hoping you change that pose for something better, though looks like at this point would be a lot of work.

[rajbir]

Sweet details :) I really like it, When are you planning to start sculpting. ?

[renz]

Thanks Rajbir.
i am going to start sculpting now,
before i get into detailing, i just wanted to share the snapshot of my model in its initial stage.

thanks jm art for your suggestions

[regisbartok]

thanks for sharing ! its getting pretty cool

[renz]

i have just started sculpting, i am trying to bring liking, so far i did this much.
http://i946.photobucket.com/albums/ad306/cgrenesh/20.jpg

[lbelerique]

Hello cgrenesh.

Looking good man. I compared your image with an image of Mickey Rourke, the only things that could be a little bit better are the shape of the ears, as seen from the front, especially the ear lobe, it could be lowered just a bit. Also, the neck looks a tiny bit wide, although Ivan Vanko is a very muscular character, and this isn't very problematic.
Here's the Mickey Rourke I used to compare:

http://www.behindthehype.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/mickey_rourke_110807_00011.jpg

Keep it up, this one is definitely one of my favorite entries.

[renz]

thankyou Luis, i will fix them.

[renz]

just placing the accessories in zbrush
will be working on skin and cloths....


http://i946.photobucket.com/albums/ad306/cgrenesh/21-1.jpg

http://i946.photobucket.com/albums/ad306/cgrenesh/22.jpg

[renz]

just done with hair mesh
http://i946.photobucket.com/albums/ad306/cgrenesh/23.jpg

[renz]

a self correction, :curious:

the volume of hairs will be reduced.

[kyhalbu]

very nice updates renesh.
but the hair part looks strange to me.
I think it's very thick and puffed.

In my opinion, you should go for "hair and fur". As you are trying to do it very realistic since beginning.
You should now work on cloth and shoes part too...

[reaperkaran]

excellent updates sir.., really nice progress...

[renz]

before i hit my bed, i would like to share the wip file of cloth.
here is an update.

http://i946.photobucket.com/albums/ad306/cgrenesh/24-1.jpg

[Jay-Mo]

This is looking amazing. I had never thought to use zspheres to make the hair. Thanks for showing that.

[kyhalbu]

this is coming out really nice renesh...
absolutely amazing...

I guess there's some more work left on the upper part of the cloth?

I see a lot of chances for you to win this HMC.

Good modeling and sculpting work. Keep it up.

wow.

[renz]

Thanks reaperkaran, Jay-Mo and Kyhalbu :wavey:

[debashishbj]

spot on details, i m loving it ! i wish you all the best for success in future ! :bowdown::thumbsup:

[renz]

Thanks Debashish:rolleyes:

[gyarados]

Really great job on the modeling and the cloth sculpt looks amazing:bowdown:!!. I hope to be able to do it someday :drool:, but I feel the hair does not do the model justice.

[renz]

Thanks gyarados for the compliment, i appreciate that.
and yes, i am working on hair , and finishing up the model.
now, i m testing the shaders and light,
just wanted to share the file., check this one.

[JM-art]

You are doing a great job with this character cgrenesh. I find very inspiring to see this thread, not only for the results, but also because the organized aproach you develop.

Congratulations!:beer:

[renz]

Thanks, JM-art for the inspirational words.
i wanted to make this character ever since i saw the movie,
so, i have a kind of emotional attachment with the character. :)

[kyhalbu]

hey renesh...
great work...
emotional attachment? haha... nice one. :) We can see your emotions and hardwork.

Aren't you sculpting the skin? It's too tight right now. I think you should bring some aging and looseness. Did you say this is the final accessories? Aren't you going to sculpt the leather details? :surprised

I think your cloth folds looks better in viewport than in render.

You are going good Renesh. Best of luck.

:thumbsup:

[salimnazer]

Hi sir :wavey:
Luv the whole process in making of this character. :eek:
u keeps pumping inspiration to our hearts. . :bowdown:

[WyattHarris]

Great work on the accessories. The arcs are a really good touch.

[renz]

Thanks Kyhalbu, Salimnazer and WyattHarris
@Kyhalbu, My final accessories means the final mesh,( No more Split polygon, No more edge looping, No more extrusion....) :scream:
Of-course i am going to give details on leather and skin.
And about cloth, the mesh is low-res right now., there is no displacement map applied. i think, it is going to look better in final renders for the submission..

[renz]

hi folks
here is the whole model.
i know, there are lot of tweaks to do. but, i am on it.

Cool lightning effect, it's an interesting idea to make a mesh out of it. Don't forget to put a material with self-illumination at 100% :)

[Dare-o]

I love the first pose! How's the hair coming?

[maxtx]

Very cool man, congratulations!
