Einstein (The Man of Science)

#13

Very nice, he’s got a lot of soul for a caricature/cartoon representation, clean mesh too!

#14

good update, the gloves are a good thing…

1 crit though, use more polies on the low poly hair, it looks kinda square at the monment. you have 15000 trie limit on the low poly :smiley: have some fun.

#15

Thanks for the crit Hanzo,

I was planning to add overlay polys to the hair, but I wanted to save that till last. I wanted to concentrate more on the stylistic elements of the character before I got to those.

Thanks again.

#16

Just reading that instantly reminded me of tekken 3’s Doctor Boskonovitch… i think ill go and have a play. By the way, love the caricature-like approach, thumbs up

#17

Really nice work!

I think you nailed the face.

#18

Thanks for the replies guys.

BTW, I posted this WIP for this on my web site

www.lightfiretech.com

It is in the 3D Work -> Modeling section

Thanks again for the feedback.

Well, slow going for a while. Looks like the competition is really heating up though, so I made a few updates. I’ve got a lot of work to do on the mesh and the UVing, but I wanted to throw some preliminary textures on there to play with the look.

All feedback and critiques are welcome.

Thanks for looking

great update, I like to see the fresh progress on this character, my only critic is that the texture work needs more variation, except for the pants I think that you should paint it manually as pose to using photo, mind you I’m criting a wip.

keep it up, I watch… :buttrock:

#21

Thanks for the reply Hanzo. Good eye, I was planning to add overlays and stains on his clothes to add history and interest. I also wanted to give him a bit of flare. I tried a bit of a logo. Let me know what you think.

I also added a bit of hair, which still need a lot of work, especially on the sides and bottom. Hope to hear from some of you other guys to get your opinions on this guys.

Thanks again for the feedback.

#22

Got a chance to do a few texture upgrades. I stated to take a few ques from the textures on Jin Kazama from Tekken. I think that after all is said and done, I might throw some different outfits on him, but…to at least get some feedback on these.

Haven’t gotten a chance to do the shoes yet.

Thanks for looking, all feedback is greatly appreciated.

#23

Oh my god, that’s really awesome (funny too)!

#24

Simply awesome, especially the hair, and those wriggles on the face.
Only critic is that the shirt & pants doesn’t seem to match very well IMO. Maybe you can try some color variations on those.

#25

the jin shirt is hilarious! for some reason i was picturing him having a sweater vest though, like he did in IQ. awesome work!

#26

Hi,

Looking great, I think you captured him well.
Funny how in class we were talking about his work E=MC^2 and the power of it.
And now I hear he will be in a game powering over people, funny.

SiNo.

#27

Thanks for the kind words guys.

The idea of Einstiens contume emulating Jin Kazama from Tekken started to stick in my head last night. I thought of it as Einstein at a constume party in his best, home-made Tekken fan uni. Anyway, after looking at Jin’s constumes, Tekken 4 seemed to stand out, mainly because he had a shirt on. I threw a couple of rough textures on him. Let me know what you think.

I hope to do some serious work on this tomorrow night for the deadline.

All crits and comments welcome.

#28

Just to inform you that the deadline has been pushed back to 05 March.

My only critic is the discontinuation of texture at the shoulder area.

#29

Excellent hair! :thumbsup:

#30

love the model, the head/hair is flawless, and a brilliant caricature

though i think making the neck down dressed in more traditional stuff may give better effect… black shiny rubber gloves, knitted green wool sweater with leather arm patches? beige trousers?.. give it a go?

#31

wicked outfit, hehe… I’m glad to see you getting done with your entry.

only one crit :slight_smile: something wrong with the texture seem around the shoulder area

#32

To tell the truth I liked the previous costume the best. But hey it’s your project and either way it looks great :thumbsup:
