ruscular Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 Seeing how much John Stewart on the daily show works his magic at political humor, made me want to try something while the election process are ongoing. Someone made a really good John Kerry caricature. I was going to see how many of the political figures I can do. Quote
ruscular Posted June 6, 2007 Author Posted June 6, 2007 bushy eyebrows is next! saving my money for that 3dpaint for AM! Oh Boy! I wish I have it now! Quote
largento Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 Haha, that looks great! I really dig how you modeled his hair. I can sympathize with having to wait for 3DPaint. I keep hoping I'll see a post on here that they've finished the Mac version... Quote
ruscular Posted June 7, 2007 Author Posted June 7, 2007 here is the hair! if you want a look or use. it was kind of tricky to make the flow from one corner to the other. bush_hair.mdl Quote
ruscular Posted June 11, 2007 Author Posted June 11, 2007 I still wish I had that 3dpainter for the ears! oh well, I still haven't got the eyebrows on yet. I'm thinking of using a decal on a small mesh over on top of face. Quote
Mohammad Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 LOL that is really good! How did you get the aging on his face and the skin is really realistic! Do you plan on making a body to it too? Quote
ruscular Posted June 11, 2007 Author Posted June 11, 2007 I stretch out the mesh flatten, and then made a decal map for it from a wire and shade mode render. Import picture into a decal and applied to mesh. Then I took the picture to the Photoshop program and made another layer where I import a front picture of Bush into the top layer. Used clone tool to fill in the side of face and back of neck. Used the liquid tool to stretch picture to fit with the mesh. I tried to get rid of shadow with a dodge tools and match tone of skin with the rest of face. I left him with some reddish skin color to reflect his condition of being a reform alcoholics and rough Texans hot dry weather, and no sweet way to say it but he's old fart. Every politician age like a prune in a microwave oven in 4 short years. I got lucky and found a nice face picture with good resolution. My next project will depend on who else I can get. Quote
ruscular Posted June 12, 2007 Author Posted June 12, 2007 I got the bump map and eyebrow decal done. I am off to lip pose setup. I fine tune the eye area and lower lip and chin some more. Love to hear what anybody think of this. I don't have 3d paint and I didn't apply any map to the ears. I am trying to figure out how to make the ears match with face with procedural texture maybe? Am I being too picky bothering with the ears? Quote
ruscular Posted July 20, 2007 Author Posted July 20, 2007 http://www.gentlechifitness.com/images/bushspeak.mov still working on it, really off in the middle part of the syncing. Looks more like Howard dean talking than Bush. Quote
jamagica Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 if you watch bush talk, the corners of his mouth don't move that much, or so it seems..try adjusting that and see what it looks like Quote
ruscular Posted July 22, 2007 Author Posted July 22, 2007 if you watch bush talk, the corners of his mouth don't move that much, or so it seems..try adjusting that and see what it looks like excellent advise! I'll try it. Quote
