SeanC. Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Well i feel im onto something with this new character. I know he looks like alot of other animated characters out there but im proud of him. He will be fun to animate when i finish his body. Let me know what you all think! SeanC.

JTalbotski Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Good start! Lots of character to him already. Don't be afraid to take the time to tweak him as smooth as possible. It's worth it in the long run. Keep updating, Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkLimit Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 very cool modeling so far... his features are very artistic very expressive.... I agree with jim.........I look forward to more updates.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaryin Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 I would also agree with Jim. Trust me, most of modeling is actually the smoothing prossess (at least for me). The more you tweak, the better you'll get at it. Great start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zacktaich Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 It looks like you need to declare some 5 point patches on his forehead. Looks good but there's a lot tweaking that needs to be done to make his whole head a big smooth surface. good luck! (you may also want to add porcelain: right click on materials choose import then find the data section on the Hash CD, under Materials>Geometry>Porcelain.mat, then apply it to your model. It works best when you save it to the file where the project is saved, this will help w/ the smoothing) Zack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could tweak for years, but what would that do for me, and sometimes too much tweaking (as in, in excess of a couple of weeks for cp tweaking) can be bad.

SeanC. Posted January 10, 2004 Author Share Posted January 10, 2004 im bad like that...i continually tweak and tweak. At some point you just gotta stop. Ill try that porcelain thing out and ill definitely keep on smoothing his face. Thanks for the comments. More is definitely appreciated! SeanC.

Mike Lium Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Very nice the profile shows a lot of character and once you define it a little more hes going to really stand out. keep going :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanC. Posted January 11, 2004 Author Share Posted January 11, 2004 A little prgress has been made. The smoothing continues and will up until the day i animate with it im sure. Let me know what you folks in the HASH community think. I really appreciate all the feedback you guys have been giving! Thanks again. SeanC.

zacktaich Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 Great progress, I think his face still needs tweaking, it's a bit blocky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaryin Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 The only two problems I have is the hair, which looks pretty good, needs to come farther down to just above the ear. And the shin area needs a little reworking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanC. Posted January 12, 2004 Author Share Posted January 12, 2004 Heres a little more progress. I havent smoothed the shins yet but i will. I was just anxious too see him with arms. I think he is pretty well modeled for animation, not just looks. Let me know how you folks think he looks!!! Im grateful for all the responses so far! Thanks, SeanC.

JTalbotski Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Hey Sean, I don't mean any offense, but I could have sworn that this character had a moustache and beard when he was uncolored. If not, then I think he has some very funky facial features. It could be just what you want. That would be your creative call, but it's a little hard to understand the facial structure around the mouth and chin to me. It's funny how we can see different things when looking at the same thing.

modernhorse Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 I like the proportions of the body. Except when I look at him he appears to have low hanging lady breasts. Perhaps raise them up a bit, I think it might make him appear more masculine. Keep on, love the progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanC. Posted January 12, 2004 Author Share Posted January 12, 2004 I was wondering the same thing about his chest...ill definitely fix that first thing. As far as his facial features go, im going for a muscular chiseled look. THis guy is gonna be your typical cocky gym kind of guy who you just want to shutup. For some reaso i felt a protruding jaw was appropriate. Ill rework his face a little and smooth it out so its not so awkward. Keep these critiques coming!!! SeanC.

TO answer a few questions, I'll post a couple of wireframes as soon as I get a moment, I'm leaning towards texturing her body using decals rather than feathers, as when I add feathers she ends up looking a bit like a gorilla with a beak. If I can figure out a way of placing feathers so that it looks good I will though.... Re: her beak, I'll try and make the beak/face separation a little more definate. I really appreciate peoples positive comments. I'll post more detail as it gets done.
