Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted June 14, 2009 Hash Fellow Share Posted June 14, 2009 What is the best way to place characters in the bus? To get him into place took me forever and I am still not happy. The easiest way to get a character to move with another model is to "translate to" and "Orient like" constrain the character's model bone to a bone in the model; typically the bone that the main body of the vehicle is attached to. Also what is the best way to place lights on the bus? You can do New>light inthe model window and it will create a light that can be placed just like a bone. you'll need to be in bones mode to see it.

NancyGormezano Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I will dirty it up. I was trying to get the cart to look like stainless steel. It definitely looks like stainless steel - no doubt about it. Some dents & pings, stains, etc, would help and perhaps the umbrella fabric can be a bit weathered, ie more sunfaded in spots, with spots of bird poop? - ok - forget the poop. Great cart !

*A:M User* Shelton Posted July 15, 2009 Author *A:M User* Share Posted July 15, 2009 I reworked this face a couple of times and realized less is more. I reduced the patch count and I am lot happier in the detail created. I am not really happy about the neck yet but will have to wait to see the body and how it looks.

steve392 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Thank's I see what your on but to me the kneck should be back a bit more maybe to the first spline you have or more .Thats just me ,I think even fat blokes have some kneck lol ,depends on what look your after really,a fat flobery geizer lol or maybe a fold in the throte kneck would do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreativeAustinYankee Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Steve, Great work! I did notice a few small things that, if changed, would add to the project. First, I noticed the front tires of the bus don't really turn into the curve. It kinda looks like the bus is gliding along. Rigging the front tires seperately and getting them to turn along the path would help add a little realism. Also, the bags of chips on the hot dog cart, there's a point of realism that your striving for, but these decals might be too real to fit within that context. You might consider creating fake chip decals that are a bit less realsitic. Just one guy's opinion. Steve P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*A:M User* Shelton Posted July 15, 2009 Author *A:M User* Share Posted July 15, 2009 Thanks for the help Steve. Once I get the body into place the neck may need more adjusting. Believe it or not the neck I am working from actually extends out further than what I have done. Thanks for the comments Steve. I agree about the chip bags. The bus has never been rigged. I have been following a couple of threads on how to rig the wheels for steering. I just d/l a car that was rigged and will try to set up the bus.

matt_stanford Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Hey man, I love your work! One thing I would say though is that the hot dog guys face looks too chiselled from the front. I love how fat he looks in the side view. I'd probably lose the definition in the chin and the cheek bones. Just my two cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*A:M User* Shelton Posted July 16, 2009 Author *A:M User* Share Posted July 16, 2009 Took your advise and removed some of the chin and jaw area. Removed a spline that was causing such a crease at the jaw line. Here is a render of the changes. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaryin Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Wow, that's really coming along. I like him alot so far. Is he bug-eyed just for rigging purposes or is that part of the character? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*A:M User* Shelton Posted July 16, 2009 Author *A:M User* Share Posted July 16, 2009 Just a different look more than anything else.
