trajcedrv Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Meet the Little Barbarian! Short of stature, but big on courage… or not… This is one model that I have been working on (and off ;-) ) during the last year. I have just been having fun modeling, but in time some little animation emerges from the fog in the distance… [attachmentid=15581] So far I have him modeled, and I have his head textured… Rest of him is textured with procedural materials (easily visible with the hair) and waits for my spare time… Textures made with Painter Classic. Light is standard 3 – light choreography setup. Not rigged yet: just two bones in his body so far: head and jaw… I am waiting for the final v11 squetch rig… That would be all… [attachmentid=15582][attachmentid=15583][attachmentid=15584][attachmentid=15585][attachmentid=15586] Waiting for your comments!

Dhar Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Nice character modeling. Love those baggy eyes LOL. Good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalemation Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Fantastic looking model. Reminded me of Jack palance for some reason - the chin and nose area? Anyway, great. Is it for a film? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trajcedrv Posted April 1, 2006 Author Share Posted April 1, 2006 it was made just for fun... but somehow ideas start to form around him... we'll see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaryin Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Love the character design. I think the chin dimple and divot under the nose should be modeled, not textured. Other than that I love him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trajcedrv Posted April 3, 2006 Author Share Posted April 3, 2006 Zaryn, Chin dimple and his philtrum (yeah, that's the name of it) were done via displacement map (It took me eternity to paint it, having in mind v11 limitations with displacement), but it brought such a sense of sucess that I would have never changed them ;-D I hope that I will post some updates next few days...

trajcedrv Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 It took me a while to texture the hands the way I wanted, but I am glad with the result… For the last few days I was playing with the idea of making this little guy move, and today I had some time… voila, here he is in all his (moving) glory. I installed the squetch rig, and it turned out much easier than anticipated… Install plugin made it much faster than before when I moved million bones by hand. I said this elsewhere, but I’ll repeat it here: much thanks to David Simmons who made (and perfected) the Squetch rig and to Martin Hash that had the vision to make it official TWO rig (did I mentioned that he also makes some cool software ? ;-D) I’ll try to iron out some creases that form when moving, weight the CP’s where necessary and then we’ll see what will come out of this guy… Of course, I have a lot of texturing left (hair, clothes) and I’ll try to install Stephen Cleary’s Face gizmo… [attachmentid=16170] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oakchas Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 philtrum (yeah, that's the name of it) also known as an angel's (or God's) thumbprint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trajcedrv Posted August 10, 2006 Author Share Posted August 10, 2006 Finally, I've managed to texture this guy properly, and here he is in all his textured glory (philtrum an' all) [attachmentid=19496] I have even done some animation, but since it is only first run to it (and I've got sime serious critique from my better half), it will wait for the next post (I just hope that it will not be few months from now;-D) waiting for your critiques...

steve392 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 That texturing looks very good ,nice charector,great job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted August 10, 2006 Admin Share Posted August 10, 2006 Beautiful Render there... the barbarian really looks great all posed, in a setting doing something. The specular highlights (while looking pretty nice in the small image) seem to be a bit much in the larger images. Thinkin more about it... it's probably not the highlights so much as the refectivity on the skin. More please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyGormezano Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Really neat model. Looks like a happy, friendly barbarian. A good drinking buddy? I like how you've got such a nice rugged pore/bump texture on the skin - I think the specularity is a bit high (perhaps reduce size? intensity?), as he looks a bit metallic. Maybe some variation in color on the skin might be interesting, as he appears monotone. - ie could add areas of patchy color for cheeks, nose, tops of knuckles, a scar or two. Might have to tone down the intensity of red color of the overall skin tho, to add more localized patchy color. Dusan Kastelic's Perk is an excellent example of patchy areas of coloring. Yep - Definitely a high class Pillager! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamikaze Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Looks like Arnold and Leno have mated.....Great model!!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trajcedrv Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 WOW! Comments from some of the people that I respect the most around here! Thanks! I agree that specularity is bit too high, but I was going for sweaty/drunken/grumpy look, so it was kinda intentional, but I guess I went too far ; -D Reds prevail in the image beacuse of the fireplace light that I was trying to emulate... However, it seems that changing of light intensity over time (so to emulate fire burning) seems to be too much of distraction, so I'll have to rethink this... Thanks for your comments, please, keep them comming! Drvarceto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaryin Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Wow, he is looking great! I agree about the specularity. I also thing the red of the fire should be more orangy. Great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyGormezano Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I was going for sweaty/drunken/grumpy look, I did kinda suspect that you might be going for a sweaty look - so it wasn't too far off - Maybe beads of sweat -painted with bump or displacement ? - could even animate them dripping. I think varying the facial tone will also help communicate the flushed look as well. (also see Schiltzy for good variation in face coloring) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
