Welcome aboard. Steve

Great job Steve!!

Hi Gene, Thanks and you are right Uncle Fester. You are doing some really great stuff. Steve

Good catch. I missed the flipped normal I had tested the porcelain mat. Here is the shot with the skin shader and the normals flipped. Steve

Smoothed out the splines and now ready to tackle the body.

Just a different look more than anything else. The roto I had drawn had the eyes closed more and when I started modeling I wanted something different. Steve

Thanks all. You are right! Adding color helped me see some of the problem areas. Steve

Thanks David. Been watching your progress on the rigs and tutorials Steve

Took your advise and removed some of the chin and jaw area. Removed a spline that was causing such a crease at the jaw line. Here is a render of the changes. Steve

Thanks for the help Steve. Once I get the body into place the neck may need more adjusting. Believe it or not the neck I am working from actually extends out further than what I have done. Thanks for the comments Steve. I agree about the chip bags. The bus has never been rigged. I have been following a couple of threads on how to rig the wheels for steering. I just d/l a car that was rigged and will try to set up the bus. Steve

Here is a side shot. I took apart the back of his head to rework the ear and neck in the back.

Ok pulled out the checks and neck to smooth out the transistion from the neck to the chin. Removed the back section and will rework that tonight. Steve

I reworked this face a couple of times and realized less is more. I reduced the patch count and I am lot happier in the detail created. I am not really happy about the neck yet but will have to wait to see the body and how it looks. He will be a large man Tony the Hotdog vendor. Steve

Oops here is the wire frame Steve

Well I am happy with the splines and now its time to clean him up and fatten to match the neck. Steve

Tony the hogdog vendor is coming on line here is a progress shot. Steve

Thanks Nancy. I will dirty it up. I was trying to get the cart to look like stainless steel. Not quite there. Steve

Sorry about that I had transperency turn on before I applied the decal. Got it working. Steve

I need some help. I tried to place a decal on the cloth portion of the ubmbrella but I could not apply. Any thoughts? Steve

Very Nice model. Great looking splines. Steve
