*A:M User* Shelton Posted September 28, 2009 Author *A:M User* Share Posted September 28, 2009 Ted's hair is in place, I will add the eyebrows and he will be ready for rigging. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyGormezano Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Trying to get a polyester fabric look More shiny! We need to hear the swish as he walks! Oh yeah, Ted's a cutey in a squeeky-geeky clean way. But perhaps his arms are too "developed" for someone who probably sits at a desk, nose to the monitor all day. And maybe he could use a more developed pot belly muscle? I'm assuming he transforms into Hunky-boy Polyester Man? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*A:M User* Shelton Posted September 28, 2009 Author *A:M User* Share Posted September 28, 2009 Hi Nancy. I used the same form on Ted and Kurt and had not thought about the arms. I will shrink them down. Ted will be one of the guys that is hit with a Cupid arrow that has missed the mark. He will chase after the girl with no luck. Thanks for looking and the input!

*A:M User* Shelton Posted September 29, 2009 Author *A:M User* Share Posted September 29, 2009 Had to change the hair. Had built it in an earlier version. Then imported it into v15. The file began to crash and and when it was not crashing the render views were all messed up. After deleting the hair material and then recreating it in v15 no more crashes. Steve Edit. Here is a shot of the hair and I have reduced the size of the forearms by 20% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*A:M User* Shelton Posted October 7, 2009 Author *A:M User* Share Posted October 7, 2009 It has been a few days and I finally got a chance to work on Kurt. I have always loved the hair on Woot in TWO. I tried to emulate the hair on Kurt. Here he is and the only thing left to do before rigging is the denim jeans Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted October 7, 2009 Hash Fellow Share Posted October 7, 2009 Good looking hair on Kurt. It used to be possible to fade in the transparency on hair to give a softer look to the roots, but there's bug in that now. Had to change the hair. Had built it in an earlier version. Then imported it into v15. The file began to crash and and when it was not crashing the render views were all messed up. After deleting the hair material and then recreating it in v15 no more crashes. If you could post the old hair material and the new hair material it might be interesting to see the difference.

*A:M User* Shelton Posted October 12, 2009 Author *A:M User* Share Posted October 12, 2009 Started working on Cindy again. Reduced the patch count from 5900 to 4500 and reworked shoes and legs and will need some tweaking on ankles but I am much happier with this. I have also changed skin tone and worked sss and will go with this color. I will add some make up and skin tones to help with the sss. Here is a shot of the reworked Cindy. I will have some update shots with the hair in place shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason1025 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Shelton I was wondering. Do you know how to keep from the hair looking too cartoony? I cant seem to get AO to effect it.

*A:M User* Shelton Posted October 22, 2009 Author *A:M User* Share Posted October 22, 2009 Jake, here is the render with the correct sss settings. Less waxy. Still having problems with hair shaders. Changed color of hair to see if I could get rid of the specularity. this is with black as base and black as spec, to give a shine but it looks grey? Steve Edit Here is a shot of the hair and skull cap. Wierd shot but trying to calm down the spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*A:M User* Shelton Posted October 22, 2009 Author *A:M User* Share Posted October 22, 2009 Just a blog statement here. Back when Bolt and Battle for Terra came out I noticed that most of the human character design had some what of a theme to the main characters. When I began developing the characters for Cupid's Sick Day I wanted to incorporate this as well. If you hadn't noticed, all of the characters a have a lazy j look to the face. By that I have the jaw and chin extend out and a narrowed chin. I even have it on Cindy, the female, albeit it is less obvious. In drawing my sketches for the designs I started with the side view and drew a J with the vertical line laid back and no hook on the horizontal line. All the men started this way except for Tony, the hot dog cart vendor. He started with a j but it was filled in. Any way just wanted to throw that out there in case some of you had noticed.

Changed color of hair to see if I could get rid of the specularity. this is with black as base and black as spec, to give a shine but it looks grey? Muhair is deliberately shiny and I like the look that you have going there...(but I of course would make the spec color purple) However - if you want to tone down the specularity of muhair - then set the primary strength to hair material/hair emitter/surface/specular render shader=Muhair/primary strength=50% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
