Michael Brennan Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 After reading the latest Martin's Minutes about "Charlie Brown Books" I remembered that I modeled a Snoopy vs Red Baron a few years back using Lightwave and was curious to try the Lightwave importer with A:M. After re examining the model I decided to model him from scratch in A:M. I just get a kick out of the elegance of spline patches vs subdivision modeling it seems like you can say more with less. Here is some progress of the model so far... still working on the hands and feet and will be modeling a scarf next. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Brennan Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 Worked on his feet some more... lots of 5 point and 3 point patches also using a porcelain material on the white material to soften things up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted June 17, 2020 Hash Fellow Share Posted June 17, 2020 Porcelain can usually be eliminated by turning "Average Normals" ON and setting a "Normal Weight" other than 0. 50 is typical. This is the same effect as porcelain but with more specific control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted June 24, 2020 Hash Fellow Share Posted June 24, 2020 Looking very "on model"! I think less to zero specular will help on the scarf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm tempted to make an animation of Snoopy flying but have a few other projects I'd like to work on as well.. so I'll work on the animation at a later time.

Michael Brennan Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 Worked on texturing the cap and adding fur to Snoopy.. Tweaking the fur settings took a while to get look I wanted but Robert's hairtestV11_BearHair.prj was a helpful start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakerupert Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Really great modeling! I am very glad to see that A:M is still alive and kicking. I remember from my times back then (15), that threepointers were to be avoided. Has this changed with the actual version? ( also better 5 pointer handling?) Keep it up.

Your correct, still a good idea to avoid the 3 point patches, I'm guilty of using the 5 point patches here and there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Brennan Posted September 5, 2020 Author Share Posted September 5, 2020 Ok think I'm finished now.. couldn't sleep cause I wasn't completely happy with the fur. Also wanted to add some translucency to the fur which gave it more edge lighting. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worked out on the scarf as well... I'd like to try using transluceny with some tree or plant foliage sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
