Yep, rigging is next and she'll be ready to animate!!!

Two months of work on this girl and she's finallt getting where I want her. I added the wings and changed her outfit. Comments, Crits???
-
In case anyone thought this was dead it is not. I'm still working on my models. Here's a pic of the girl's wings. Yes wings!!! I thought she had a good fairey look so I'm redoing her clothes and adding these wings.

Just finished up my 2nd trip to the texas ren festival. If you havent been, GO! Best time ive had all year. Cant wait until next year.

Well put Rodney. I hadn't really thought about it until now and perhaps this is one of the underlying things that troubles me about the guy. I thought it was the textures and what not but it is the proportions. Note that he's human and she's a young elf, but still..... I do believe I will rework him again and see if i can't get a better look and see if it works better. If it doesnt no big deal i'll keep him around just in case. Thanks for taking the time.

Here's a side by side of the two.
The hands on the guy need the SSS taken down a lot. There seems to be an issue with normals on the guys belt, behind the buckle. Not sure about any of the textures, though I do like the scalemail shirt. I think the pants should go all the way to his feet but am unsure if I will. If I don't do I need to perhaps add a collar there with metal studs? The hair will remain as it is. Particle hair looks good but doesn't give me the "look" I want. As I say I'm very happy thus far with the characters and there overall looks. Now it's just a matter of getting the textures right, getting them rigged, and animating
-
Okay today has been a day of hair experimentation!!! Mainly on the fella as his head isn't as complex as the girl's. I have a side by side comparison of the "helmet hair" and the particle hair. Which is the "better looking of the two?
I'm thinking of sticking with the Helmet Hair and just redoing the shape and look of it. Thoughts???
-
Okay here's what I have of the guy so far. Not exactly where I want him but he's still a work in progress.
-
I have an ssd in my laptop and yes boot up is awesome. AM loads quickly but in general use not a big increase in performance. As for data storage I havent had any trouble. No crashes or anything. No fragmentation either.

As an aside: One of the secrets of effective SimCloth is to leave dangling splines in place (but they are invisible/will not be rendered). These dangling splines can then be manipulated to effect the tolerance of the Cloth's interaction with the leg
I did not know that!!! Thanks for the tip Rodney. Once I get her rigged I'll do a few render tests and see how she looks in motion.
On a side note I picked up a Cyber Tablet 12000!!! Not too bad for the price. Makes those pesky textures so much easier to paint.
-
I realize they are thin but i wasnt sure about adding thickness as im thinking about using simcloth on them. Would the thickness affect them?
-
Okay let me see where to start....
Toned down the Subsurface alot!!! Textured her face a bit. Not sure if I'm happy with it but it will do for now. The skeleton is in place and this is just a test pass to see how her splinage works in the major joints. So far the only place that is giving me issues are the hips, as usual...It doesn't show in this pic but you can't over extend her hips or legs or they start clipping with other meshes. So I'll adjust those splines in the troubles area until I'm satisfied. She does have eyelids I just have them hidden for this shot. Redid the belt. Didn't care for the style so I opted for something I bit more simple. I'm thinking the texture on the pants SUCKS. The shirt is wool and I'm happy with it. Any suggestions for the pants??? And I'm thinking about maybe giving her a leather strap skirt. Kinda like strips of leather that will make a short skirt that just comes past the crotch area. What are your thoughts?
-
She's not textured yet, thats just surface color with sss on. And yes it needs to be toned down but im gonna wait until I rig and texture her.

V15 or v16 rc 01 here

Thanks guys. Thanks for the input on the guy but i'm scrapping him completely. Ive already started another version of him that i think will be much more appealing, and will fit with the girl much better.
-
Thanks Shelton. I hope the rigging goes as smoothly as the modeling has. Weather anyone believes it or not she came out of desperation for my Wonderland project that I have going on. The main character has never really meshed well with my thoughts or ideas and she came out while I was reworking the main character for the short I'm working on. I do hope I can find a place for her because she's to dang cute to not use
-
Honesty I DON"T think he is that interesting. I've been listening to alot of Enya, ALOT!!!!!, and I've also been drinking more than usual for me. More than 2 is weird!!!! So anyway, the great thing about having bouts of depression are the sparks of inspiration you get with them. So I've just been modeling my brains out and this is by far one of my favorite characters I've done to date. And I've done about 6 in the last 3 months.
-
So this is the character I will be using in the up and coming forum project.
-
-
Well how about calling it Room with a view, instead of rear window?
-
So should I be working on the set or will we be using the one Mark did?

I really like this character!!! I also discovered AO today and decided to see how she would look. Comments?!?!
Makes a great desktop wallpaper LOL
This of course begs the question, can AO be used to do night scenes?
