Aminator Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Hi, everyone. I'd really like critiques on this new model for my next short. I'm looking for a somewhat cartoony and simple look suitable for some loose, squashy-stretchy animation. Comments about improving appeal or style would be especially appreciated. I'll probably do some texturing and surface tweaking, but not a whole lot. Yeah, I know... wireframe. Comin' up next. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starwarsguy Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Nice character! My only problem with it is that the legs and wings don't have the same texture as the body. Also, it might help to make the legs connected to the body. Just my two cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sevenar Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 I like it, Jack! In fact, I've been looking for a cartoon chicken model for quite a while. Any chance I could swipe it from you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sevenar Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Odd, the previous reply doesn't show up in the post count for some reason...maybe this will jar it loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malaclypse235 Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 I like your model. My only question about it is- Do you plan to animate much as far as facial expressions? I ask because the first thing I noticed was the eyes and most of my attention was focused on them. If your action is more aimed at full body stuff, you might want to make the eyes less prominent, but if you plan to show a lot of emotion in the face, it' probably perfect. Please note that this is just a newbie's opinion. I don't actually know anything Mal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aminator Posted December 21, 2004 Author Share Posted December 21, 2004 the legs and wings don't have the same texture as the body Yeah, I'll probably change that. Anyone have tips on "feathery" textures? (I tried a few short-hair experiments, nothing looking very good yet...) Also, it might help to make the legs connected to the body I'll probably skip that for this guy, unless it gives me grief animating. I've been looking for a cartoon chicken model for quite a while. Any chance I could swipe it from you? Sure thing - I'll contact you privately. first thing I noticed was the eyes and most of my attention was focused on them You're right. I copy/pasted them from a different model, and they don't quite fit in yet. I'm not sure if I want to try and integrate them into the head better or what. Thanks, folks.
