LeeAnderson Posted March 21, 2007 Author Posted March 21, 2007 seeing your recent characters... i cant WAIT to see CHEWIE... he will be AWESOME.. Thanks Caleb. Lol...right after you said this, I found out that I wouldn't be doing chewie. Theyr'e going to do him 2D <_ thanks for the support anyway> The next character was just a generic monk based off of the first one--not a whole lot to show here-just a new head sculpt Next character is IG-88. I always thought he was the most goofy looking of all of the bounty hunters. I went for speed for sure on this one. Done in almost exactly 2 hours. 90% of the work was done with the lathe tool. 4,045 patches EDIT: Fixed his neck and armed him Lee Quote
Muff Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 Liked to see them moving around and in some action. They look good enough for some entertaining animations. Quote
totlover Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 aww. that would have been cool to have done Chewie.. oh well... we all know it was going to be awesome anyways Quote
someawfulbridge Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 These are looking great--especially the texturing. Do we have a Bossk in our future? Mark Quote
LeeAnderson Posted March 23, 2007 Author Posted March 23, 2007 Thanks Muff! You should be in for some animation here pretty soon Yeah...Chewie would have been cool (but a nightmare at the same time) Caleb...who knows maybe the other guy will fall through These are looking great--especially the texturing. Do we have a Bossk in our future? We just might--his name has been popping up on all the right lists for it Here's the newest character, Jix. I'm really dissapointed with myself on this one. There was very little modeling done--it was all copy and pasted--but speed is what really counts on this project. I'll do the pretty stuff later He's a little too red and his eyebrows are out of control! I wouldn't mind some crits on this guy Anyone for Animating? Anyone for modeling? Anyone for Lee? Quote
totlover Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 just a little copy and pasting.. i wish i could come close to that.. gosh Quote
LeeAnderson Posted March 23, 2007 Author Posted March 23, 2007 Thanks Caleb! You'll be able to do that soon, I promise I hope people aren't getting sick of this thread--I have to do these models so I assumed people wouldn't mind seeing. I think I'm keeping it interesting though. Here's a more updated Jix and now he's got a swoop bike! In the comics his bike is a flat grey with hints of specular highlights. Well...just because I was too lazy to give it a REAL texture job, I went with the extreme of this look--all chrome baby! If this was going to be for anything more high-res the model wouldn't even be close--but I think I may call this done. Enjoy! Lee Quote
Dark_Jedi Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 wicked! where can I get a bike like that! Quote
LeeAnderson Posted March 23, 2007 Author Posted March 23, 2007 Thanks guys! Okay, here's where things get ugly Here's the same last render except with Jabba's number one man Bigg Gizz. He's big, he's ugly and he's a huge jerk. Tell me what you think--could I make any improvements? Thanks! Lee Quote
LeeAnderson Posted March 24, 2007 Author Posted March 24, 2007 Here's an update on Big Gizz, I was told to make him more animal-like. I also gave him a nice head of modeled hair. Next up is Jabba!! Lee Quote
jirard Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 Nice work Lee! Your a modeling animal! How are you turning this stuff out so fast? Quote
LeeAnderson Posted March 27, 2007 Author Posted March 27, 2007 Nice work Lee! Your a modeling animal! How are you turning this stuff out so fast? ...uh...magic? I'm secretly a wizard...shhhhh. Thanks Jirard! I cant wait to see jabba! Alright then, here's a WIP. In the end he'll have a lot less symmetry in the face. So far I've only done the major wrinkles, the rest will be added with decals. Lee Quote
dre4mer Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 nice start on jabba jimmy can't wait to see how he turns out! -Ethan Quote
MattWBradbury Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 Lee, Big Gizz needs a lot bigger hands. The first time I looked at him, I thought he had hooks for hands. Quote
Geoff Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 Im kinda new just checking stuf out I am a Starwars fan and all i have to say is AWESOME models. I hope to be able to do that good of stuf somday. I have photoshop CS2 and was wondering if maybe you could give me some tips with textures and stuf. AWESOME work though ill definetly keep checking up on this!! Quote
LeeAnderson Posted March 28, 2007 Author Posted March 28, 2007 Thanks Ethan! Lee, Big Gizz needs a lot bigger hands. The first time I looked at him, I thought he had hooks for hands. Oh man, your right! I didn't even think about the size of his hands, I'll fix this right away. Thanks Matt! I have photoshop CS2 and was wondering if maybe you could give me some tips with textures and stuf. Thank Geoff! I'm a little busy at the moment, but if you have any specifics go ahead and PM me and I'll see if I can help you out! Here's Jabba, I think he looks like a frog too much in the face, any suggestions? Thanks everybody! -Lee Quote
totlover Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 HOLY STROMBOLLI!!! nice model.. love that guy Quote
LeeAnderson Posted March 29, 2007 Author Posted March 29, 2007 Thanks Caleb! I like strombolli too Here's the textured version--as you can see, it was rushed...use a LOT of photo reference. This one was a lot of fun--each one of these models could be improved a whole lot, but rendering resolutions are low enough that they don't need to be. Thanks for the comments--Lee Quote
clonewar12345 Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 I think there is a little too much green in the tail. I remember jabba as being more the tan color of his chest throught his body. Just a sugestion :-) Quote
MattWBradbury Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 From what I can tell on this image, he's tail and his back is mostly green. Looking good. This is better than what I've seen in games. Even though the models might not be perfect, if you have a good story, it will work just fine. Quote
Geoff Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Dude awesome jabba i love it i cant wait to see the finished project. This would take me a long time to get just one model as good as that AWESOME work Quote
LeeAnderson Posted March 30, 2007 Author Posted March 30, 2007 From what I can tell on this image, he's tail and his back is mostly green. Thank you thank you thank you for that reference pic! Some things clicked in my head when I saw that--the only pictures of Jabba that I could find were always obscured by Leia in her "outfit". Ive tried to change some basic shape issues (mostly in the head)...tell me what you think Thanks also Ken and Geoff for your compliments! Lee Quote
agep Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Impressive modeling (and modeling speed). Kudos! Quote
youngman Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Impressive......Most impressive... Absolutely stunning work Lee,keep up the good work. Jay Quote
Geoff Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Dude impressive jabba the only thing i can say is his head looks a little pointed but looking awesome. Keep up the good work!! Quote
Geoff Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Hey forgot this in my last post r we going to be seeing any wampas or crate dragons?? Those would be awesome and if u need any refernce pics i can scan some in and send them to u do u have the book "The Illustrated Star Waes Universe" art by Ralph McQuarrie Text by Kevin J Anderson it has some awesome reference pics for planets and species Quote
cfree68f Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 (Sorry Colin, no Lost World entry yet) No sweat Lee.. as you can tell, from my seriously late post to this thread and the fact that I'm not burning a new record to start my own lost world thread.. I'm pretty busy to. Besides.. You look like you are having wayyyyy to much fun on this stuff as it is. Its all looking awesome. You seem to have become a modelling machine. C Quote
LeeAnderson Posted April 2, 2007 Author Posted April 2, 2007 Thanks Caleb, Stian and Jay! It's nice to get compliments from such accomplished fellas like you! Man Colin, how far back did you have to hunt to get that quote from me? I actually didn't rememeber saying that until it showed up. Good luck getting all of your stuff done! You're just waiting around until you can blow everyone away, right? Dude impressive jabba the only thing i can say is his head looks a little pointed but looking awesome. Keep up the good work!! I agree--and in the post before that it was not pointed enough...oh happy medium where art thou? I don't have that book--but I'm already set up with tons of Ralph McQuarrie art. Thanks! I'm going to try to keep going with this project while finishing up the others that I have going. Whew! Lee Quote
Geoff Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 so umm... when r we going to see some more models i want to see wat other cool stuf u have wipped out Quote
goodguy20k Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 Dusting out some projects lying in my "todo" list, here's another rev of the walk cycle. XizorWalk.mov Quote
LeeAnderson Posted April 15, 2007 Author Posted April 15, 2007 That's beautiful Daniel! It brought a tear to me eye That's most certainly the walk of a tyrant/crime boss! Thanks, Lee Quote
Dark_Jedi Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 looks super.. but whats wrong with his dress Quote
Pizza Time Posted January 5 Posted January 5 On 3/13/2007 at 7:02 PM, LeeAnderson said: Thanks Ken! That's a big complement coming from a top-notch modeler such as yourself Thanks! I'm not sure that I could write a tutorial about anything that's not already out there. With these kind of models it's really just a matter of finding the workflow that's best for you. Just keep practicing and learn how to do decal work--that's what makes up half of this model. What's your fanfilm about? Good luck! Here's Boba in his finished form: 5,033 patches. This wouldn't be bad for a next-gen game model if I do say so myself! Still looking for animators--all you would be doing is basic actions: walk cycles etc. Lee I wish I had a time machine Quote
