yeah this is like an hour worth of hand painting it. ill keep the previous cuz i know it looks decent, but im still gunna hand paint it as well

[ChalklYne]

update on the painted version

I'm not sure about the scale and position of the head on his body... the head alone looks great though man.

You should look that over, with the amount of detail you're putting in I think you should make the polyflow follow the muscle lines better in the shoulders, the "bendy straw" method you are using right now is really only good for really low poly models since it makes for easy weighing and deformation.

 

I personally build them more focused on proper anatomy.

 

Something about the face looks off, like the proportions of the head. Eyes seem a bit too big and lips not quite as pouty as they should be.

[ChalklYne]

well im already pushin 6000 tris so im kinda already blowing the mark as it is.. but then again.. i dont see it taking up much more verts so hell i dunno. the armpits look weird right now so i dunno i might go into it. heres some hands i just made for it. still tweaking em but figured since i was posting might as well. im done with geometry now, just deleting edge loops here n there n trying to save as much as possible n get it under 6000

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: smaller eyes... poutier lips..

Maybe put the lips back to the way they were but keep the eyes, the lips somehow got worse.

 

The hands are right, you didn't make the amature mistake of modeling the thumbs out of the side of the hand, they come out of the bottom. You don't need those weird loops at the very tip, it's like you added a joint that doesn't exist in real life, you need more loops though on the finger joints, 1 loop wont cut it.

 

The shoulders though probably should be retopo'd.

ill work on that tonight then. 

been spending a lot of time swapping between models and this map

 

 

ill post more pics when i get shaders figured out

Wow and here I thought JKA was too sh*t to manage reflective surfaces.

[Lamented]

Chalk, mind explaining a little bit on how to start modeling in my TC thread? I just got 3dsmax

[Tempust85]

He uses XSI, not 3ds Max

[Lamented]

dammit

Damn, that floor must've just gotten Zambonied.

[Lamented]

Thank you, but can you explain how to save the model as a .glm afterward?

[Sithani]

This was way better

Focus on creating a model first, exporting will be explained later don't worry.

[ChalklYne]

just got it under 6000 tris and still have plenty to delete on the face

Not quite. It can handle one reflection per PVS leaf. A really shitty and awkward limit, I know, but it worked well enough for the demo mission (floor in the final battle area had reflections)

Can we look forward to a way around this in the future perhaps?

[minilogoguy18]

Still need to fix the hands, arms also seem too short.

[katanamaru]

I'm not sure wheather the arms are too short, or the shoulders are too high.

[ChalklYne]

good call gentlemen. i thought maybe his shoulders were too wide i dunno. but yup they look a bit short as well as high

 

 

better?

 

 

 

been messing with the face very little bit at a time just painting 

 

 

[Botdra]

Whoa, who let tiny arms in this thread?

[KCDodger]

Man, we're still aiming to make the quintessential Galen Marek skin, aren't we?

That boggles my mind. I remember when TFU huds, skins, sabers, and backhanded sabers were brand new and all the rage.

[ChalklYne]

Whoa, who let tiny arms in this thread?

 

 

well... i knew that the wrists barely went past the hips so i just kinda eyeballed it. but youre saying make em longer even?
