aen916 Posted February 12, 2008 Share 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.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted February 12, 2008 Hash Fellow Share Posted February 12, 2008 are those legs at the bottom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aen916 Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aen916 Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 each ball represents a joint on the legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale_The_Bold Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I love the tie. Is Mr. Fart headed to a formal event? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruscular Posted February 12, 2008 Share 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?

aen916 Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agep Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Funny concept. I like it. How did you do the brain? is it modelled or some kind of bump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aen916 Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyGormezano Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Great concept ! love the character. Will be fun to see it animated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatso Posted February 12, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aen916 Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
