Paul Forwood Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Here is a rig test for an alien model which is still very much in development: This test was done to test the shoulders and hips and includes a very extreme/impossible pose for the right arm. There is still much to tweak but it is getting there. The model is 1574 patches and is rigged with TSM2 plus my additional bones for the neck and intermediates. The feet have not been properly integrated yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arkaos Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I really don't get what that alien is supposed to be doing. Looks like he is trying to bowl while highly intoxicated. Is it just random movement to test the rig? Pretty crazy, man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Forwood Posted August 6, 2007 Author Share Posted August 6, 2007 Can't wait to see more of this little fella in action. Thanks, Jay. More later... Looks like he is trying to bowl while highly intoxicated. Is it just random movement to test the rig? Well, not exactly random but not far off. It is just a T-pose to an extreme wind up for a punch an back to a T-pose. Nothing that you would find yourself doing. Pretty crazy, man! Yeah. That about sums it up.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted August 6, 2007 Hash Fellow Share Posted August 6, 2007 Looks good. What's the little edge around his ankles? Is he wearing tights on his legs but not on his feet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Forwood Posted August 6, 2007 Author Share Posted August 6, 2007 What's the little edge around his ankles? Is he wearing tights on his legs but not on his feet? He is inbetween at the moment. I intend to give him a figure hugging, extra terrestrial, all purpose Spandex suit but I also wanted to do some full body skin maps so for the moment his suit has skin textures on it.

Paul Forwood Posted August 6, 2007 Author Share Posted August 6, 2007 Cool....nice abs....are they painted on? colour and bump maps. Give the poor guy some eyes! He has very black shiny eyes but the lighting isn't reflecting. I'll check the speculars. Thanks! Thanks Steve392. Here is another: (No body textures or rig yet). (Oops! Looks like I animated a light by accident). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkaos Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I like the face modeling. Kind of a classic 50's alien and Chinese mix. Looks like a little guy with BIG attitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Forwood Posted August 9, 2007 Author Share Posted August 9, 2007 Thanks, Arkaos, John and Ruscular. Kind of a classic 50's alien I hope so. a cross between "the incredible" and Star Trek "The Menagerie" Yes. There is a bit of an Incredibles look to the skinny alien's body. I'm still working on getting the rigging to work properly. Not my favourite passtime. Here is a first pass at a walk cycle for the skinny alien: Still a bit stiff and jerky at the moment.

Zaryin Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Haha, you typical -- and not so typical -- looking alien. Nice! I do think those shoulders need some work, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Forwood Posted August 9, 2007 Author Share Posted August 9, 2007 Thanks, Zaryin. I agree on the shoulders. They will get tweaked later today, (hopefully), and the tops of the legs need work too. Cheers. ------------- Edit: Fixed the shoulders. A couple of Cps were assigned to the wrong bones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
