Hello Polycounters,

I just finished up this character for a Character for Games class I'm taking. Thought I would share it with you fine and talented people. Concept by Mitchell Mohrhauser. Learned a lot on this project. Can't wait to start my next character!

Hey man it's looking great! I do feel like the clothing need some slight wear, also I feel like the pants need some more attention, they're feeling a bit flat. I understand you just did this for a class so I guess I am nit picking a bit. Yeah keep it up!

gruntpunch

Yeah I agree. There is some wear in their that the lighting isn't complimenting but that may mean I just need to push it more. I appreciate the nit picking though Everything helps!

Phong

Nice goin! Id soften the light shadows just a bit imo.

Solid base.

The leather needs more discoloration noise.

How did you construct the eyes?

gruntpunch

Yeah definitely gotta add some age to the leather. The eyes are using an Albedo with a paralax map and a duplication of the eyes and scaled for the outer shell with full transparency with just a gloss for reflection.

Looking good!

I like that blue light hitting the left side of her face but I feel maybe a soft fill light hitting her right side could help make some of those details pop. I think getting a very slight highlight on the edge of the right side of the collar might be nice.

I like the mood that is happening, though, nice job!

My biggest concern here is that you've seemingly modeled her almost in-pose, with her arms down, and focused on topology relating to folds in cloth more than actual functioning geometry.

What i mean by this, is that i strongly suspect of you tried to rotate her arms upward her shoulders would collapse badly, and even a basic walk cycle would struggle to look good due to bad joint deformation.

Making characters that look good on your portfolio is one thing, but this is a bad habit that can and will be picked up on by any competent lead who's reviewing your work. It will hold you back in the long run, because as well as making things look good, you need to make things that actually work.

Hey almighty_gir, I modeled in "A" pose. The reason for modeling in the leather folds was to capture the silhouette of the model. I did add in some parallel edge loops to support the bend of the arm. I agree that grid lines are ideal for topology. Thanks for your input

Looks fantastic!
