the texture sheet is not optimally laid out apart from that this is one kickass model and you have it all rigged up as well congrats on the plug i think someone mentioned that you should take a break i suggest go on with all guns blazing its good stuff like this that gives you the energy to outdo yourself the next time

this is amazing!!! seriously…:eek:
only thing that I’m trying to work out is whether he has a katana or wakizashi (sp?)…seems too short to be a katana but too long to be the other…maybe he’s just a really tall guy…I dunno…feel free to correct me…
amazing:thumbsup:

PS - never realised how cool and useful normal maps are!

very nice ,good work buddy but i just want to mention one thing if i m not wrong the color bone of ur model is a bit lower than where it should be in conjunction with ur shoulder , any way still i will say modeling n texturing is cool

Great job, man! You must really love 3d graphics! You are hard worker aren´t you?
Presentation of your work clearly state this. Nothing to crit, everything is simply perfect.
I cant remember when I saw so talented and complete artist on CgTalk (modelling, texturing and topnotch rigging). You are truly a master!!
Is it possible to see other works from you somewhere on the web?

love it , your modelling is really good and efficient, and your texture work is amazing. i want to ask about your rig. there isn’t very much out there about rigs for max and yours look very good , i’m especially interested in the bones u have for the deformation. are there any tutorials out there for a rig similar to yours or good books, and have u got a website?
thanks

This is just outstanding work. Nice to see spec vs normal map comparison. Thanks for sharing it with us. keep modelling…

beautiful work, got a question. How did yo manage to model the low poly to high poly while keeping the same tex coords?

why does your color texture look the same as textures for games that can only use 1 texture and can’t use normal maps and all the other types of maps like specular, gloss etc.?
