thanks as it’s the way i was thinking my minotaure would be, well i wanted it to have a plastic and lightly shiny skin … well i have the hands still to do and i’m not really good at that
i’m making 3D from about september, but i’ve played around with max before
it’s just poly and most of all extruding edges, well i know he looks rather like a dog for the head but it comes from my imaginaaaation :rolleyes:
i attached a closer look to his face
Looking better. Post links to your post, though. Dont want to confuse people with two threads in one.
Hey Magi- i think your deltoids on him are a little off, so are his Tri Ceps. Like said before, go look on google for body builders or somtin, those guys have all the muscle groups so well built that u can see it all! lol, even though its gross. But your fore arms look pretty good.
And i forgot to mention his pecs r off by a bit too.
Hey Magi, sorry i’ve been away for a couple days, i think the weapon is a pretty good idea, but you probably want to make sure to design the hands and then the weapon… i’d be easier that way, so you can design the weapon to fit his hands… ninja turtles wasn’t exactly what i was thinking of but in the same lines… as for clothing or armor, what type of environment is he gonna be in and what time or age or society does he live in? basically, design his outfit to “fit” where he takes up a place in time, what he does and where does it… think about that and maybe share it with us and we might be able to help. Oh and finally, i work at Fulsail. Keep up the good work man!
Here’s a skin test. I’ll layer some more detail and hues when I get this looking good enough
I think the head looks awesome. If you could get a good texture and some good lighting on the head and do some closeups you could do some pretty photorealistic stuff I think. Do you plan to get it set up to animate? Facial expressions too?
=ThetaDot=
this is a very superb model…except his lower part of the legs (dunno the term for them in english) they look to boxed (does that make sense to you?:hmm: )
Here’s the latest! Had to investmy time in other characters, so I left this one be for a while. Tell me what you think.
Digital Magi,
Great work. I love the style that you have with minotaurs. It seems to have more finesse than plain brute strength, and yet, I wouldn’t talk smack in his face because he’s pretty big. Then again, all my references to minotaur are from video games and old illustrated mythological books.
A nice thing to see would be some fur just above his hooves like a big Clidesdale (Clydsdale? Budwiser Horsey?) would have. It’d be a nice touch I think. As for a new way to UV map this sucker, I have no clue, but I hope some kind soul will let us both in on a new way of mapping. Overall I think you did a great job of modeling. Kudos to you, Digital.

P.S. Are you going to animate him?
yes, this one is a real killer!!
you enhanced him a lot, didn´t you? he looks awesome now.
pure power.
only thing i´m not d´accord with is his belly muscles. he has an eight-pack there instead of an six-pack. maybe it is intended but i always thought the minotaur is a mixture of human and stallion.
:rolleyes:
Thanks for the compliments! I’m glad I’m on the right track. I still have lots to do to get him to the right level. About eh abs, in reality, we all have an eight pak. It takes some SERIOUS buffing up for them to show, though.
I’ll get to work on more detailed legs, Harden him up like a steroid junky and bring out the smaller muscles. What do you guys think?
Awsome work man!! How long would you say you spent on it total?? I’m working on a character with similar anatomy and it’s taking FOREVER…what’s your secret??
No happy pills needed, thelios. Just some good old fashion lack of anything else to do, hehe.
