Machineflesh 3D Challenge Entry: Ben Schoeffler


#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!

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!

Well here is my guy. I’ve been working on the skin tone. I’m thinking the war paint i have right now might be a little too cliche, i’ll mess with it for sure, also my specularity seems like its set too high. I’m going to screw around with it for sure. Comments/critiques wanted :slight_smile:

You’re getting closer to the finishing line… no real crits worth mentioning at this point - - - a spanking cool pose, some great lighting and shaders on this stuff and you’ll have yourself a really great render - go go go!

Thanks for the reply james! Yeah there are a few things on him that i would like to change, but i’m REALLY getting tired of this character. I learned so much by making him and i want to apply that to my next character :slight_smile: I’m going to finish texturing him this weekend and then i’m going to put him in a scene (most likely a grassy field, unless i get other suggestions) and render :slight_smile:

:slight_smile: THanks for the reply :slight_smile:

Well these is ALMOST final render. I haven’t even messed with lighting at all yet, texturing is pretty much final. hahah i don’t really enjoy working on him anymore so i’m just trying to get him done and over with so i can work on other things. Still have to do the eye and i might keep messing with the texturing.

Well i’m finally finished. Here is the thumbnail of my final render. I don’t expect to win this competition but i’m sooooooo glad i finished. I learned so much from this. This is my first actual FINISHED character and i’m proud of him, even though i see many flaws. I started out to win this competition, but what i’ve learned is FAR more valuable than the computer i wanted to win. I hope to compete in the next machineflesh, and i look forward to everyones great entries!!!
