#181

#182

Well I get home last night and my cable connection is down hopefully will be fixed by the time I get home today and I’ll post those promised screen shots of my progress.
:shrug:


#183

I’ve finished the majority of the head. I may just need to do some tweaking on it, but I think it looks pretty decent. If you want to see my updates and crit them, my newest update is:

@Stygian: I don’t deserve any credit, since I’m just following instructions. Once I can do something on my own, then we’ll see how much I’ve progressed. :slight_smile:

Hi, I am currently working on the sword. However, I got stuck because when I click the top and bend it 63.5 degrees on the X axxis is bends and all, but when it tell me to scale it I scale it on the axis it tells me to but it just goes up or down and not bend at all. Can someone help me? Thanks


#187

I agree. Nice job. Your boobs are way better than mine! :surprised

Here’s a quickie update before assembly. It’s…an ear.

Hope you like!


#188

hello there iv been sitting here for the past half hour reading all these posts and i think this thread was a great idea i my self started this tutorial a few months back its an amzeing tutorial,the only thing i dont leik about it is that it doesnt give you any numbers [ie:when u have to extrude an edge it doesnt tell u how many edges to extrude,(it says that mostly in teh ear tutorial)]
any way heres what i got… im gana start teh entire body over again i dont liek teh way the first oen came out


#189

Wow, that’s looking really good. What don’t you like about it? I JUST now got past that part (attaching the ear is NO FUN!) and hopefully I can get the head attached to the body, and everything mirrored and welded together without incident.


#190

Hey guys… I forgot about this when I got stuck before. I’m upto the hips - where you have to mirror them. After I mirror it - and start extruding the the torso up, the sides start crossing over. I guess its just because I didn’t align the verticies straight up vertically. Is there a trick to this or something?


#191

whats n ot so good about it isnt visible fromt eh side,when u look at it from the from theres a bunc of little dents and dings inher chin that iod ont know how to fix and yes teh ear connection is horrid.id gladely start thsi entire tut over but im int eh middle fo another charecter as of now,but as soon as i finish that ill be here :thumbsup: (this is what im currently workiong on - http://www.cgchat.com/board/showthread.php?s=&threadid=11719 )


#192

Well looks to me like you guys are still busy finishing up the body. I’ll keep up with what you guys are pretty much on and get real active when you guy do the sword :buttrock:


#193

@Illustrain: Did you actually mirror it permanently or did you just do it for reference? Because the way the tutorial says to do it is to just do half of the body and mirror it when everything else in the body is done. Regarding the vertexes, I just usually align them by eye, because it can always be changed later.

@The FreakyOne: I hear you about the dents and dings. Ususally they’re vertecies that aren’t really attached. Ususally this happens with a cut that doesn’t connect. Even with 3D Snap on, it doesn’t always work right. But weld can fix that pretty easily. Other times, I had weird edges that would stick out, and I’d have to delete the poly and redo it so it wouldn’t look so weird. Oh, and that character looks pretty cool.

@Xilica: Stygian and I are about to finish up the body. I just need to mirror and weld the halves together. Then I need to tweak everything before moving on. I can’t wait until the body is DONE. I’m starting to get sick of it. :slight_smile:


#194

Ok, I’ve got the ear on the head and the head on the body, and now all I need to do is mirror and weld. I’ve got all my vertecies lined up and ready to go, but I know I probably need to fix something first. Any suggestions?

(Warning: lots of images ahead!)

Oh, and yea, the head is small. I screwed up when attaching merging it and scaling it to size. I didn’t realize I messed up until I had everything else set, so I’m not gonna worry about it. As the late Bob Ross would say, “It’s not a mistake. It’s a happy little accident.” Kinda like when I wet myself. Ummm, you didn’t hear me say that.
:surprised

Oh, and thanks everybody for helping me stay modivated!


#195

@fleedawg : You and your happy little accidents LOL but her squished head doesn’t look too bad just makes yours more Unique.
