KenH Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 I'm working on a new model and for the life of me, I can't get the darktree eye material working properly in v11.1f. As you can see, he's got no specularity highlights on his eyes even though they're on in the material. Is it something to do with the light? Is anyone else having trouble with this material?

KenH Posted April 25, 2005 Author Share Posted April 25, 2005 Thanks...yeah I used porcelain, but I think it's probably the lighting adding to the effect too. No materials/decals yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyGormezano Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 and he's a wanna be pimp. Then his undies need to be purple silk. He's looking really good, great character - but whats that thing by his belly button? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamikaze Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Ken...Figure on the prob with SPec yet? have you tried saving the model then rendering? saving the project and model them reload AM? Some times I have to do this to get "some" materials to show up. Graet Character also Ken. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenH Posted April 27, 2005 Author Share Posted April 27, 2005 It's still a problem after several days.....so reloading didn't do it. I've sent in a report, so hopefully something will come of that. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epoch Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seven Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Just waiting for some lipsynced sound from this fellow. Not wanting to meet him in reality - perhaps in virtuality. Sure very good modeling! but the hat does not fit... and I believe a little much lip-stick... Waiting for his replies... what is going to say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entity Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 LOVE this characture! NOW that is FUNNY! Looks like he works in a circus or on a broadway show. Unique. Looks like he will be fun to animate, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenH Posted May 3, 2005 Author Share Posted May 3, 2005 Yes he's got too much lipstick on. That's how I wanted it. Also, the hat will be filled out with hair which will be in the next image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenH Posted May 4, 2005 Author Share Posted May 4, 2005 Both working with and rendering hair in the latest version is much improved! Here he's got his usual head of hair but I have a "hair flattened" pose for when he has his hat on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenH Posted May 5, 2005 Author Share Posted May 5, 2005 I must confess I used this image of Al Pacino to guide me in modeling his face. But no photos....I'm just adding details/character as I go along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a look at your model and the image in the same time... I must say you have done a good job... What I react to on your model - comparing - the two - is the ears on your model - I believe they are too big - drawing too much attention.... What do you say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenH Posted May 5, 2005 Author Share Posted May 5, 2005 His ears are in proportion to his head. Also, the angle you're looking at makes them look "more prominent". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seven Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Proportions - what are you talking about??? This is a caricature - not some realism... The thing is you do not want the public to stare on his ears - or do you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenH Posted May 5, 2005 Author Share Posted May 5, 2005 Then it wouldn't look right and they'd stare more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

entity Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Lots of potential in the animation realm with this guy. Ken are you planning anything special with this guy? (Like is he going to really have a HO-house with Mr. Bigboote's girls in there?) There are all kinds of Jokes implied in just his face alone... not to mention his stylistic clothing--- Where's the fur coat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenH Posted May 5, 2005 Author Share Posted May 5, 2005 Nothing real special. I just want to add cloth to him now and then I'll do a few moves with him. I'll probably just donate him to the community then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entity Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 You are a community oriented guy aren't you? "Posts: 4,323". Can't wait to see him in or on cloth... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
