Those boosters definitely adds an interesting twist to it. I could even imagine having two more, a bit bigger, on the side of his belly perhaps… just an idea… like… right… yep.

#44

I’ll have to see if i can put some more boosters on there and how it would look. THanks for the critique!

It just seems logical to have boosters in the front to help offset the huge ones in back and to help you steer. Thanks for the comment james!

Very good modelling!!!

I think shoulders and neck are bit confused at this time…:rolleyes:
although its a well detailed work.

see ya

#46

heyyyyy, great idea!

I find the model very good except of 1 thing, the intrsection of the pectoral with the biceps isn’t anatomically correct, I think something more like this is the correct way:

But maybe when you rig it, you won’t need that part because the arms will be closed…

Very good man :slight_smile:

Hey! Are you going to add a ‘sprit/guidance animal’? I think it’s a good idea, personally.

I think your guy is coming along really well, and I like the feathers and how they look realistic. Are you going to make him clean like that or are you going to put cuts and stuff on him?

Awesome job!! It’s come a long way and so have you in your work, so keep it up! :slight_smile:

:thumbsup: I like it nice use of culture dude! great modelling too!:thumbsup:

Tremoside - Yeah the only place where i haven’t really spent much detail on is the lower back, the shoulders, and the neck. I am planning on detailing the shoulders and the neck once i get the head on there.

Panda_skater - Thanks for supporting me panda :slight_smile:
I’ll definitly start messing around with your suggestions, thanks :slight_smile: you give great critiques.

DDS - Wow you are very very correct about the shoulder/pecs! Thanks for the picture, i see what you mean and i’ll try and correct it with the next update. Thanks!

Creativer - Thank you for the kind words, by the end of the model i’m hoping he will have tons of ‘accessories’ all over him with lots of beads and feathers. :slight_smile:

Thank you everyone for the comments, it really means a lot :slight_smile:

Hey Shaykai !!

Nice concepts and the modeling is great so far, maybe a little tweak here n there. I’m excited to see what comes next. Keep it coming… :slight_smile:

#51

And besides - I had no idea Moscow was in Idaho!? Is it somewhat related to Paris being in Texas too?

#53

Hehhe, yeah it might be related to Paris texas :slight_smile: We try to lure in the tourism crowd :wink:

Sorry i haven’t updated in a while, been really busy. My girlfriend is giong out of town in a week or so, so i’m asking for time off work so i can just pound out this challenge. So not many updates until the 13th-20th, then LOTS of updates :slight_smile:

Thanks for everyone that is following this thread!!

Whats wrong with the face. I’m trying to give him indian features but something still doesn’t look right. comments/critiques appreciated.

#55

Well i attatched the head, i still think it needs work :-/
There are a few placeholders on my character right now (like the ammo holders on his belt, and the pistol on his left thigh) but most of the stuff is final modeling. The deadline i’ve created for Screaming eagle is next wednesday, i hope i make it. Thats when my vacation is over. I still have to model the rifle, the headdress, the pistol, the ammo holders, a knife, and a tomahawk. Not to mention various other little things. I think he is turning out really well. I’m wondering if anyone is following this thread anymore… heheh i took a kind of long break. Well, if anyone feels like commenting i would love it. Thanks!

Heres some slight tweaks to my guy. Comments/critiques really wanted. Thank you.

Pretty close to finishing the rifle. Its a little different from my original concept, its more of a close rang weapon than a sniper rifle. Kind of a like the m4a1. Anyway, hope you all like it!

Well i’m trying out the textures. I only have to model a few more things and then he’ll be done modeling. Hopefully the textures really kick ass. I have to add some nice bump maps to his pants and stuff as well. He’s really turning out pretty good. I’m loving it so far, i hope you all are liking it too.
Right now my computer is really getting owned trying to work on all this with my 1ghz athlon, and 512 ram. hehehe, hopefully it will survive the final render. Thanks for viewing :slight_smile:

This is really coming along well :). I like the head dress that you gave him. Looks sweet. Keep jammin.

#60

great clothes:thumbsup:

#61

Slayerment - Thanks for the comment man, i almost decided against the headdress but it turned out pretty well i think :slight_smile:

Omid605 - Thanks :slight_smile: I really like the way his clothes are turning out, i think with a nice bump map they will look even better.

Thanks for the comments guys!

#62

I’ve been tweaking the feathers, i’m going to add a little more detail to them, but i got the opacity map and the bump and the color map on there. I"m really liking how all this is turning out. All i have left to do is the upper body, and the eyes and a few loose ends.
For the final scene i think i’m going to have him standing in a field or something. If anyone has some better ideas i’m all open :slight_smile:
Thanks!
