GAC 11: Richard the Lion Heart-Knight

#66

Nice!:thumbsup:

What was your solution for the chainmail?

#67

this is In-Fing-Credible. Love It. the only thing that bothers me is the teeth on the lion… They look to needle-like and fragile… thicken them up a bit. other than that …its drool enducing.

#68

Vray hdri? :wink: Looks great!

#69

It looks Just great.My model id far far away, in other galaxy after You. Killing morale on start. Damn You, You the best . hat from the head.

#70

That looks very, very cool. You should do something with the hi poly model when ur done with it, maybe give it a render of its own and submit it for the Choice Gallery, if the normal mapped one doesn’t look as cool. I have a question, actually, two. How did you make the chainmail without moving each ring into place? And, will the nomal mapping even pick up some of these details, like the chainmail? (I’ve never used normal mapping, so I’m a noob in that area.)

#71

dmonk - thanks again bud!

tasart - awesome cheers dude - I’ll fix the teeth

JBoskma - cheers - its rendered with Mental Ray HDRI and final gathering

Por@szek - lol - thanks man!

antwawn - I intend to rig and animate him. Some detail will not make it into the normal map because of the res limit and the chain mail will be normal mapped in a different way which I will explain later.

Started his sword this afternoon

#72

awesome work there!! :bounce: definitely the best in this competition i’ve seen so far… but i’m concerned abt something… u still able to keep to the limit of 15000 tris?

#73

O_o

what else can i say? awesome planning and awesome execution. i just might cry if you don’t finish this. :wink:

#74

I wonder how the lowpoly will look with all this detail on the normal map.

I hope it goes well and all. This model so far looks sweet as hell I am just wondering about how this will transfer into low poly.

#75

Holy crap, youve been busy!
Makes me ashamed to have not started mine yet!

Nice work so far - good to see someone proficient at 2d and 3d

#76

Beautiful work Andrewley! This is looking amazing. Are you going to rough him up a bit, or is this Richard departing on his first crusade, or wearing his polished dress armour for parleys, court-marshalls, functions and such? Will you be baking the reflections into the textures?

Keep it coming man.

Cheers

-O

#77

This is going to be one-person competition… lol… I’m going back to my playground lol

#78

this thread is a slap in the face. i’m loving this so far. i like his overall frame, he looks like a powerful fella. out of Pure interest, how many polys is this high poly version? i think it would be really awsome if you kept the high poly version and made him a star in his own fully no poly limit glory with an awsome render of a battlefeild and slain enemys and Ricky boy standing sword held high with a Proud and Glorious battlecry yelling forth…wow.

dare i even critisise this peace? i like the sword, but i dunno, the hilt (is that right), the 2 metal bits sticking out horisontaly on sword, kinda look a little bit fragile. i dunno if i can see those bits defending ricks hands from a powerful sword swipe. maybe a little chunkier perhaps? if you disagree with me then thats cool, cos all this is sweet. :smiley:

#79

well done…sets the bar very high

#80

high as the polycount no doubt, good stuff.

-KDX-

#81

I vote that after this contest You MUST create some background and place him in the same high class scene. How many hands You have, like a spider -> 8?? :applause:

#82

xenoid - thanks man - this model is for the normal mapping

monotypic - get ready to cry dude :slight_smile:

Desp#2/Rog - cheers

Andy H - cheers man - looking forward to yours.

obelisk - yes he will recieve a beating :slight_smile:

eMPeck - lol

ninjacore - I’ll fix the hilt - cheers

SUB7NYC, -KDX-, Por@szek - Thanks guys!

Well I’m gonna take a break from this project as I’ve started a new one today

Later

#83

The sword need more love, it looks like a candle stand right now. Shield looks wierd too, especially the 4 “circles” at the top area.

Everything else (except the lion teeth, which you said to change anyway) is coated with a thick layer of goodness. Keep it up.

#84

Andrewley - MAN! This is totally AWESOME! I need to pick my jaw up off the floor.

You are DA’ MAN!! :thumbsup: :scream: :bounce: :buttrock: :applause: :bowdown: :beer: :arteest:

#85

i’m speechless… great work, the amount of details is amazing :applause:
and i have to agree with Por@szek : it would be nice to see him in scene
