gugesbri Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 This is my first serious attempt to a full character model in AM, lots to learn but getting there... Looks great! Keep going. Quote
rusty Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 That's your first human head?? That's extraordinary! Rusty Quote
KnightHammer Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 my first head looked like the phantom of the opera mask with a beach ball as a skull...that is a good head keep going Quote
John Bigboote Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 -Yeah, that's way good! Show us your reference and some wireframes! Quote
rusty Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 -Yeah, that's way good! Show us your reference and some wireframes! Don't you do it Pixilplucker... we'll tear you into little bitty pieces. Just kidding. If you plan to animate your head there 'are' good and bad ways to lay your splines out and you can definitely get help here that will save you down the road. ;-) Rusty Quote
Gerry Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 For a first try that's really nice! If you had any idea how difficult ears are to do you never would have gotten such good results! Quote

Damn, you're right! No one told this guy how difficult this was supposed to be! Well Pixelgrabber, now that you know, next time your model won't come out so good! Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted January 23, 2009 Hash Fellow Posted January 23, 2009 That's a very promising first time out! Quote
petokosun Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 that is a very kool start show the wireframe Quote
Admin Rodney Posted January 23, 2009 Admin Posted January 23, 2009 Yes indeed. Very nice. Is he modeled after a real person (maybe you)? Quote
pixelplucker Posted January 23, 2009 Author Posted January 23, 2009 Thanks for the encouragement! I have been modeling for years but never with splines until last few months when I purchased AM. Majority of my models are objects and created in Amapi Pro or Hexagon. There is so much you can do in AM you can easliy get lost because the menu and tools are so refined but I love the short learning curve. Below is another shot of the head and also a frog I made and still rigging. Quote
Admin Rodney Posted January 24, 2009 Admin Posted January 24, 2009 Nice. Very nice. More than a few artists have found the learning curve to be very easy with A:M. You've definitely got it going. There is so much you can do in AM you can easliy get lost because the menu and tools are so refined but I love the short learning curve. This is definitely true. Keep it simple. Don't get too distracted. Chasing after everything thats cool is too easy to do. Its interesting... I struggled a little in my last post because 'he' didn't seem the right gender to post. Should have went with my instinct no? Thanks for validating and clarifying with your imagery. Nice frog too! Quote
pixelplucker Posted January 26, 2009 Author Posted January 26, 2009 Thanks. Been making my actions for the frog when I get time. Quote
Phil Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Nice looking frog would be nice to see animated. Your head model looks real good too. Quote
pixelplucker Posted January 31, 2009 Author Posted January 31, 2009 Nice looking frog would be nice to see animated. Your head model looks real good too. I have some actions for it already from the tongue zinging out to the burb and working on the jump and walk. I'm not too crazy about my rig, I kind of slapped it together so I may go and fiddle with some of the weights. Seems to work ok but there are a few joints that if moved too much will crease. Quote
pixelplucker Posted February 27, 2009 Author Posted February 27, 2009 Finally got a chance to work on the rest of the character, next I have to clean up some of the creases, texture it and add the skeleton. Quote
frosteternal Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Finally got a chance to work on the rest of the character, next I have to clean up some of the creases, texture it and add the skeleton. Nice model - some parts are blurry. Quote
pixelplucker Posted February 27, 2009 Author Posted February 27, 2009 Yup, not sure how sensitive this forum is and didn't want to get booted lol Quote
Fuchur Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Yup, not sure how sensitive this forum is and didn't want to get booted lol Just add a "nudity" or something in the title and you are fine. In the end it is an artform and I hope nobody will find David from Michaelangelo offensive. I mean it is 500 years old masterpiece-sclupture and you can find pictures from it everywhere... *Fuchur* Quote
