That last image is scarey but the rest is very nice

You did an excellent job on him, very smooth and nice quality

You should do a second version when through with this one of a nice afro on the top, kinked hair - I think that would be funny with the purple suit and pimp style

Look forward to end result

[Snowball Character WIP]

Pardon the lengthy post here but I have quite a few questions pertaining to my WIP here, so if any of you AM Gurus could help out, by all means please do

 

1:: Hair

I was messing around with her hair last night (I have ver 10.5r) and I want somthing that has thick strands going into thin strands as in her drawn picture above. I want to use hair emitter so that I can add dynamics and such to it but is there such a way with this version? I want something similar to the test that Joe Williamsen did with his hunter. The feathers were perfect for what Snowballs Hair seems to look like. Along with those dynamics of them moving up and side to side.

 

2:: Texture

What would you say the best method of decaling would be, I am slightly stumped. I want to know if I can easily take or unwrap a portion of her and layer it over her standard fur material so that she has the lighter silver fur in the middle.

 

3:: Cloth

Her top will be a tank top, but I want to know if I should even try to tackle this problem or make some dynamic bones when I rig her. I notice there has been a lot of discussion about collision issues with versions prior to the alpha 12 release.

 

4:: Rigg Dynamics

Could I get some direction in rigging or a tutorial link? I am almost there and would like to apply some dynamics to her again similar to those of the Hunter tests. Those were so amazing and lifelike to me, parts of the skin moved or shook, her earings bounced around etc.

 

 

5:: Kind of OT but UPGRADE

I would like to upgrade but I notice there is alpha 12 in the forum. If I purchase the upgrade to 11 soon will I be able to use the new release? or should I wait to upgrade to 12 (when will it release?) from my current 10.5

 

 

 

I believe that covers my general topics so far

again sorry for long post, but I'd appreciate some nice feedback

thanks!

Thanks!

and not long.. I purchased it a year or two (ver 2004 pike one) back but have been so busy with work and all that hadn't had a chance to use it. Total time of messing with it would probably be a month or so... I did one other model prior to this one but she was very sad

I'm just now starting to get some free time to really start molding and moving things I hope for the best, I've got much to learn with AM!

Thanks Censoring was so I dont get banned, I don't know the rules of this board for valid images.

I am going to tweak the color as I add the map so that may look a little different

Thanks again - hope to have her clothes soon too

and a tail, forgot about that

Thanks - I'm still figuring out how I want to do her hair. Hope it turns out ok. As far as the two tone, do you mean the white middle? if so, I plan on that but havent figure out how to do it. If I select those cps and set as a separate group and add material it looks too...blah. So I may have to do some decaling which I haven't learned how to do that yet in AM

Thanks

I've been hiding in my basement

The color does seem off from my original, I am still tweaking the material plus need the addition of the second white/silver tone once I figure that out. I'll fix up the nose thanks for 'pointing' that out. It's in the shape of a heart, I need to fix the color on that too.

The arms don't have an extreme amount, but it's knocking on that door. The main high splinage was due to the hands and chest area having many splines. It helped define her muscles but I do need to work on decreasing them with future models.

And here is the original drawing of her that I used

Thanks

[Snowball Character WIP]

Hello all

This will be my first post and first WIP.

The characters name is Snowball and she is my mascot for my website. I plan on doing some small animations of her along with a small film if everything goes as planned. The model is almost complete, all that lacks now are the clothes and the hair. I didn't want to offend anyone so I censored her anatomy for public view. In all other animations/renders when complete everything is covered so I won't need to censor anything

Please critique or comment whatever you feel.

If there are any suggestions as for clothes by all means let me hear them, the original character was more cartoony and didn't have as much detail in anatomy/muscles etc so I didn't put any on her.

I'll post the original character drawing after this post.

I also hope the file isnt too large.

Enjoy and crit/comment away
