ecellent work mtmckinley! :eek:

keep it coming :buttrock:

#62

Heh, yeah the hobby thing is the trickiest part i suppose…

I was going to go for sleeping on the couch from the start;) Suppose a lot of people have that sort of “hobby” :stuck_out_tongue:

#63

Small update. I’ve started adding wrinkles in the pants, and I continue my shirt color experimentation. :slight_smile: I’ve also adjusted the lighting and shaders some.

I fixed that weird blue tint in the glasses, too. Thanks!

EDIT:

Here’s a front view.

Seems I’ve got a slight lighting issue under my left forearm. :slight_smile:

#64

very cool model!,
I like the color of your shirt on this last render best

#65

Cna you tell me where I might be able to find the GIJoe Mel Script, I really like the out come and would love to add the script to the monster plugins and script directory I have accumulated.

#66

Orange shirt for sure. I love comics and thig guy would would be great as a super hero. Give him this little bitty cape that is tied around his neck in the front…hehehe…

#67

I got the GIJoe script from www.highend3d.com, in the Maya sectin’s Mel area under the Rendering category. :slight_smile:

#68

Here’s a wire image so far:

#69

This really is looking awesome! I’m so proud :applause: :wink: I think the orange shirt works best, nice color to go with the blue! A super hero would be great! You could have like a super glowing axe and chop down trees to smash the criminals! (sorry I havent had my shot at a lumberjack joke yet) but really I love this model, hurry up and finish the shoes!

#70

Thanks, Rye. :smiley:

Btw, congrats on getting the header image over at the challenge site! :applause:

Yeah, I’ve been avoiding the shoes, I think. :stuck_out_tongue: Along with hands, I’m not that great at shoes, although I have to admit, the hands I’ve done for this guy have supersceded my expectations. :slight_smile:

I’m rendering some new pics to display. I’ve been putting in more wrinkles and stuff, pockets in the patns, finger knuckles, etc. I should get it up soon. :slight_smile: Then… Shoes! LOL

#71

ok, new update. :slight_smile: I’ve rendered a bunch of views, so for the high-res version, go here: www.mtmckinley.net/cg_toon35hi.jpg

Mostly I just added wrinkles everywhere… those buggers take a while to put in. I’ve still got more to put in on the OTHER pant leg. lol I’ve also added eyes, finger knuckles and a big more definition on the backside of the forearm. And little tweaks here and there. Next update will have shoes! Or at least started. :smiley:

#72

wicked man… :stuck_out_tongue:
those wrinkles blend in nicely… :applause:

#73

:bounce: Now please …can i have back the same render but…with the light green shirt u had before?..lol

Cool man…the only thing that i would prefer softer is the hands…they look more real than the rest of the guy…but that.s just me…:thumbsup: :wavey:

#74

Thanks, Roman. :slight_smile:

Thanks, DimitrisLiatsos. :slight_smile: You like the green better?

As for the hands, I’ll see what I can do, but I’m awfully happy with them at the moment. :smiley:

#75

As promised, this update has feet. :slight_smile: I’m not sure if they’re final, though… what do you guys think? I know I’m going to tweak them a bit… clean them up, but what do you think of their look compared to the rest of the model?

Next, is to model the teeth, inside of mouth, etc for facial expressions and to add a wrist watch.

After that bit of modeling is done, then it’s to design hobby and environment… I’m tinkering with the idea of having him cleaning… vaccuming, dusting, washing dishes… all that crap. cuz it seems like I’m doing it all the time. lol

I’m thinking of using this guy after the challenge is over as a tour guide mascot for my website… I think that’ll be fun. :slight_smile:

Comments?

cool character, cool shoes. :cool: However, I think you should go with a solid black on the shoes. The colors are a bit distracting in my opinion.

#77

yeah, I agree… that’s the way I originally had them, but I thought that maybe they were too dark, so I dumped some color on them. lol

Glad to see I was right the first time. I’ll post an update in a bit.

EDIT-- I know! Howzabout have him wash dishes, vaccume, scrubbing counters all at the same time! With some bewildered look on his face as his faithful pooch asks to be fed. lol That could be fun. What do you guys think?

#78

Here’s one with just black shoes:

#79

nooooooooooo… why did you take off the shoe color, it used to be cool :scream: … nahh, well when you took out the shoe color the shoes became like a tire. how bout adding a tad color on it. or go extreme and put flames on it, i saw one of those shoes and it looks soo cool :airguitar , but it depends on what you like, since that character is you. it just need a little color. :cool:

#80

Nice work so far! especially on the folds and creases. :beer:

Have you tried light brown for the shoe color?
I dunno why, but I think it might look good…
