HMC #17 : Star Wars Steampunk - Darth Vader

#21

Looking good, be looking forward to watching this progress.

#22

LOL! Awesome, Sim.:applause:

#23

OK, im trying something different, but trying to keep within the confines of the concept art.

I’ve added some internals, so “he’s more machine now than man”

#24

great progress.

but be careful, the inner parts might make him look completely mechanical.

cheers

#25

and thats pretty much where im stuck now … i can manage one or the other … getting in-between is proving difficult .

#26

Looks great.
Id say get some arms on him, give him that “Light Sabre” and get to work on the cape.
Keep going.

#27

I agree with Airflow. Don’t stop your on a roll have some fun.

#28

How’s it going Sim, looking very strong so far.

#29

the mechanical detail looks great, keep it up!

#30

thanks for the encouragement guys …

got back on this again today. did a bit more, still more to do to his hands/gloves and lightsaber, but his waist is a far down as im going with this.

#31

martha my baggette stinks, just what the hell did you put in my lunch today?

slooking good sim, so far.

#32

cheers mate …

a bit more work done. going to get some of the bits into ZB next …

#33

i did a small amount of ZBrushing. dont know it well enough to do much with it at the moment .
also trying out some shaders since most of the modelling i’ve got time for is done.
My kids are off for a mid term break next week so progress is about to slow right down …

#34

LOL, show the young ones this picture and they sure as hell will know their place!

Quality work as always, Sim.

#35

looking great. Very close representation of the concept!! I’d suggest model some more gravity to the cloth, looks like it’s flying while it should be falling on the back/shoulders/chest area.

#36

Man that looks awesome, I agree with DDS very close representation of the concept and i also agree about the weight/gravity issue with the cape to give it that realistic feel, other than that great job and keep it up!

#37

adjusted the cloak a bit, and also played about with some displacement maps for some of the materials …

#38

Cloth is definetly looking much better.:thumbsup:

#39

Its really starting to look like the picture now,are you going to put folds in the cloak?

#40

Wow, this piece is really coming along. Nice work. I would say that the bump on the cape seems a little too stong to me.
