aen916 Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 Okay so I've been working on this character, his name is Brainfart, and I'm having one, I'm kinda stuck on the look. Something looks off to me and I'm not sure what, anyone got any comments, I'ld love to hear some ideas. The thing on top will be a headlight. Thanks, Andy. Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted February 12, 2008 Hash Fellow Posted February 12, 2008 are those legs at the bottom? Quote
aen916 Posted February 12, 2008 Author Posted February 12, 2008 are those legs at the bottom? Yes they'll be animated as kind of a 4 legged spider. I don't have him rigged yet, I guess I can work on that while I'm trying to figure out what doesn't look right . Oh and the bottom part of each leg will be a three fingered hand. but is modeled so it can close almost to a point. Quote
aen916 Posted February 12, 2008 Author Posted February 12, 2008 each ball represents a joint on the legs. Quote
Dale_The_Bold Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 I love the tie. Is Mr. Fart headed to a formal event? Quote
ruscular Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 The interface between brain and the walking contraption. Seem like maybe electrode sensor hanging from the canister inside the fluids to his brain would be a way for communication with the interface. or maybe connect his spinal column some how? Quote
aen916 Posted February 12, 2008 Author Posted February 12, 2008 He just likes to wear a tie. And I thought of connecting him with some sort of cable, but I wanted to leave the spinal column dangling freely, so that from time to time he could use it like a prehensile tail to scratch his head or pound on the glass. Maybe a couple electrodes with different colored wires placed randomly on the brain? Quote
agep Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 Funny concept. I like it. How did you do the brain? is it modelled or some kind of bump? Quote
aen916 Posted February 12, 2008 Author Posted February 12, 2008 Thanks, he's meant to be kinda goofy and nerdy. I used a bump map. I used AM Painter and just made squiggles. Quote
NancyGormezano Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 Great concept ! love the character. Will be fun to see it animated Quote
phatso Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 A lot of the strangeness will disappear when you have a backdrop to put it against. Also, it looks like the brain stem is going behind the tie; needs to be a bit longer. Maybe long enough to flop on the bottom? Quote
aen916 Posted February 13, 2008 Author Posted February 13, 2008 yeah I haven't applied a cloth material to the tie so it will change once I do, but I can stretch out some. My friend pointed that out too. I wanted to use the fluid emitter to fill the container but haven't had a chance to play with it Thanks, Quote
