Grand Space Opera 3D Entry: Damon Shelton

#34

BTW, everyone, when the contest is over I am going to have the alien characters available for download for personal use, been a while since I have put out any free models for people to use and it is hard to find good models out there for study and practice. I am going to try and have the first alien villager rigged with facial morphs for Maya 6 as well but that will take a little while, I am going to rig them for this shot but will revisit them and make more complex rigs for animating purposes. I know there are some really talented animators out there, that need some help when it comes to good models to animate. I will keep you all informed of the progress on that

??? awessssssssssoooooooommmmeeee

lardbros: first off I really dig your signature, makes me laugh. I will keep everyone up to date on the releases of the models, I just want to help out the community, I see it grow stronger every day.

Christophe: I will be putting up ship designs , hopefully, this weekend, I am working out some final details for them before I post, want some stuff that will be as original as humanly possible especially when designing ships. BTW, you can have the models as well, not like you need them, but you can if you want them, anyone can.

#36

here is a wireframe, I finished out the ears, now I am going to work on the eyeballs themselves, only have placeholders in right now

#37

finished the ears, woohoo, I have the ears straightened out to make rigging them easier

#38

a little closer shot of the face to show off the details

#39

here are the eyeballs, let me know what you think, trying to keep the sad eyes going without having solid black spheres

#40

and the eyes again, now on to modeling the body and clothes, still wondering about skin color, going to do some color passes before finally texturing him, the pinkish skin color is not final.

#41

I’m gonna be working on the body tonight, I will post some images later tonight. I’ve been crazy busy with work.

cheers

#42

#43

#44

#45

#46

here is a wireframe

#47

here is the front view so far of the upper body, I am still cleaning up the mesh and detailing it (eg. fingernails…)

#48

thanks Christophe: I tried all weekend to work on it, but with halloween and all it didn’t work out. How’s that new computer working for ya?
I try to get in work on this project whenever I can, but not having Maya at home sucks. I have to manage out my time so that I am not away from home too often working on this. My wiife and the boys wouldn’t be too pleased if I was always away. hehe

#49

new computer is working like a breez

nice update …
do he dont have a little bit too much muscle definition ?
otherwise… i really dig it

#50

he is a little bit more defined than he will be in the final version I am just mainly getting his body structure defined out in the loops for the muscles and underlying bone structure, oonce I finish the model I will then be able to smooth him out and detail him up to be the sad skinny villager he wias meant to be

#51

Your model is really cool! He has a lot of character, I like how this is going! I hope to see more soon!:thumbsup:

#52

he’s coming along great. i really like the look. very docile and agrarian. looking forward to seeing where you go with this.

#53

plaguelord, artemesia66: Thanks guys, I am hoping to have the rest of his body done tonight, actually have 2 nights in a row to work on it, woohoo!!!, then I am going to spend a while really detailing him out then it is texture time!!

btw, artemesia66, are you entered in the contest? you don’t have a link to your entry 8(
well I will do a search.

cheers
