takahiro Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 Hello, everybody. Here is a model I am working on. I hope to receive your comment (specially about body balance). Thanks. takahiro http://www2.ttcn.ne.jp/~takahirotakahash/i...031111front.jpg http://www2.ttcn.ne.jp/~takahirotakahash/i...o031111back.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkLimit Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 takahiro - this is amazing work sir totally cool..... His face is awsome so detailed and looks real His balance is good I would maybe move his left foot a little to the left. Can we see a wireframe?

takahiro Posted November 13, 2003 Author Share Posted November 13, 2003 Thanks for comment, DarkLimit. Hmm, the model may be stabilized by the foot position. Here is wireframe. http://www2.ttcn.ne.jp/~takahirotakahash/i...11frontwire.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTalbotski Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 I agree, excellent likeness of Ichiro! I would slim the character down a little, though. What is the model for? Is this a paying job? I would be interested in seeing any progress and updates and animations. Nice work, Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmonaut Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 Wow, that's a really nice model/texture job. It bears a striking resemblance to my Ichiro bobblehead doll. My only complaint is that his body seems a little "thick." Ichiro is pretty darn skinny. Any plans to animate? It'd be awesome to see him bat with that distinctive style.

raillard Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 Hello! Impressive model. Nice lean patch count! Your ability to sculpt a mesh puts me to mind of Jim Talbot. Sincerely, Carl Raillard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takahiro Posted November 14, 2003 Author Share Posted November 14, 2003 Thanks guys for advices! You clarified the point. I will make him slim and sharp a little. takahiro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takahiro Posted November 14, 2003 Author Share Posted November 14, 2003 I fixed the model. He looks more healthy than before, I think. Don't you think so?

JohnArtbox Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 Hi Takahiro Superb work. Makes me nervous to comment on it. I don't know anything about baseball so if I'm way of base feel free to ignore me. Also it depends if he is supposed to be off balance(beginning to steal or run). These are the things I would probably try. The right arm would look more natural if the forearm was turned in. I put my arm in this position and it felt more comfortable when I rotated my hand about 45 degrees clockwise. the weight looks like its on the right hip but the left hip is higher, which contributes to the feeling of imbalance. And have you tried turning the left leg further out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takahiro Posted November 14, 2003 Author Share Posted November 14, 2003 Thanks for advice, John. I will try. takahiro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OdinsEye2k Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 Ichi looks like he's trying to be in the stealing position - if you're really going for this, take a look at some baseball pics. Base runners tend to carry their weight fairly low and on their toes. I'm not sure about his stance in real life, but for most players, they tend to hunch over, almost like a baseman or tennis player, because they are really doing the same thing. The goal of the stance is to be able to quickly direct their motion in either direction, to avoid the pickoff or to start their stealing run. Of course, Ichiro doesn't obey a lot of the mechanics of baseball (heck, watching his swing, it barely obeys the laws of physics) so hard to say.

takahiro Posted November 15, 2003 Author Share Posted November 15, 2003 I'm gonna make his glove, batting action, catching action, and facial expressions. I will learn his action form more carefully. To DarkLimit, Jim Talbotski, Kevin Waldron, Carl Raillard, JohnArtbox, Bjorn Cole, I want to say thank you! See you next time. takahiro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
