Project Breckridge

K, so this time there's an actual texture on his head and not just me photoshopping him some wrinkles in.

That's looking really good Dan.

Nice work!

[Shelton]

Looks very nice!

Not much to see here, just posting to show development of Detective nye.

That's better, he's got a shirt on now, also aren't normal maps brilliant?

I'm back with a bit of an update,

 

So in June of 2015, I posted this image.

 

 

Of Annie and Max('s head) in a tender moment. I'd put Max on a back burner for quite a while and he got so badly burned that I decided to start over.

 

Below is a redux of the original image. Max doesn't have hair at the minute because particle hair and my laptop don't get along, so gonna make his hair out of textured geometry instead, at least that's the plan.

 

 

[Shelton]

Nice!

[Rodney]

Looking good!

[Wildsided]

Thanks, guys

 

Quick question.

 

I used to be able to Copy/Paste an object that had a decal applied and it would make a copy of the object and also the decal so both objects had a decal applied. Now all of a sudden Copy/Paste is producing a blank object and no decal. I've tried resetting the settings to default but this hasn't solved the issue. Any ideas? Have I turned something off without realising?

I can't check A:M Reports at the moment but I think this is a known issue that may have been repaired (in v19).

In the interim, if you require that feature, you might install a previous release to get at that functionality.

Cheers Rodney, I downloaded version 17 and have been using that for the time being.

K, so, nearly a week later, Max and Annie, both with Hair now and a bonus pic of max with male pattern balding.

 

 

 

 

[Rodney]

Very interesting. It's nice to see your approach... and that approach looks like it's is working great.

[Wildsided]

Thanks Rodney. Got the technique from Naughty dog software, the company behind the Uncharted and The Last of Us games. They did this cool series of making of videos for the Last of Us and the layered plates thing coupled with textures and alpha maps is how they did the hair. Renders so much faster than particle hair, but I've deliberately avoided animating Annie because I predict it will be a bitch to animate.

I've been thinking about Breckridge a lot recently and decided to have a crack at re-making the model for detective Nye. This is the model so far with the rotoscope slapped on it as a decal from the front. So it's not properly flattened and applied and looks terrible from any angle other than this one.
