Hi All,

Thanks for the encouragment, very much appreciated.
I have a way to go yet with the modelling but now it’s mainly mechanics, i need to add straps and belts to make everything work. i may not add the Gun Dagger, i really want to remove the Ruff under his neck but have kinda comitted to it now, must work on it more.

I’m finding Poly/Geometry managment really tough right now. no idea how u high poly chaps do it, i mean trying to make sure parts deform right and look believable.

Tris To Date: 6764
Time Spent To Date: 19 Hours.

Cheers,

only one thing is disturbing me : his thumb. i think, it should be moved little bit down

fecking ace!
Looking really good - great topology around the clothy areas and the details are really taking shape. I still think you can afford to use more polys overall. Its a generous budget, and it would look great if you could eliminate all of the blocky edges.

:applause: Wow! No crits, I could try to crit, but there is nothing to crit. This is great!

#26

cool updates. i really admire your mesh work. i’d kill to watch your work on a model! looking foward to seeing textures applied :smiley:

#27

i’d use smoothing groups to make that creases on the face harder, would help to make him more menacing.

#28

Awsome concept sketch and model. :applause:

If you really have a maximum of 15,000 tris to play with (and the extra time) you should model Black Bess as well. It would be a shame to demote Turpin from highwayman to footpad!
