Hey guys

Thanx for all the replies guys.

dur23, love your cartoon self, really nice style.

I’m in the process of rigging myself but not sure what to do with the apron, please guys give me a suggestion.

Do i just add it to the rest of the body and skinn it or apply simcloth or something?

thanx

later.

If it’s for a still only, maybe the apron can be FFD’ed into place? I don’t know which program you’re using, but in MAX-speek you could Mesh Select the free-hanging verticies (ie. the parts of the apron that is to move freely, not restricted by the body), then apply an FFD modifier, and control it with that.

SimCloth I think sounds cool, and not neccessairly a terribly performance-hungry approch either. It might require you tweak/rebuild the apron to have a fairly equal distribution of polys, and not at all touching the pants-geometry in it’s start position though.

Anyways, as for crits on the model itself, I think it looks pretty purdy so far, so overall I like it. I sort of… fear the head though. It doesn’t have the appeal the rest of the body has imo. I like the idea of eyes that are melted together like that, but in that specific context I’m reminded of two eggs on a fryingpan… which, come to think of it, seems strangely appropriate perhaps? :slight_smile:

Another thing I just noticed, I think the arms might look fairly square-ish?

And that’s it. I do mightily dig those pants and the apron, mad nice folds and everything. Nice volume to them too. So yeah, keep it up. I think there’s room for improvements, but I also think certain parts looks very very nice. Overall it’s a pretty damn spiffy model :slight_smile:

Hey gaggle, thanx.

I’ll give the apron a shot the way Wiro has suggested first see if that works, if not i’ll give yours a try straight afterwords.

You are right about the arms, they do need to be fixed, i want to see what they will look like if i make them way thinner too, maybe it would look funnier.

The head i’m going to keep as is, reason being that it’s my first head and i probably would not be able to replicate it even if you paid me :slight_smile: so i’m worried if i mess with it i’m going to screw it up.

Thanx for the comments and i’ll try make all the changes to make it look better.

later
