Hipoly big ogre/orc/troll type fella.

Hey, been working on this guy for about a week. Still lots to do on it. Eventually going to normal map him.

I'm thinking I may have gone a bit overboard on the abs? I'm no expert on anatomy, just been looking at pics of body builders so if anything is weird please let me know. Not sure about the feet either, not very monster-like.

Showster

I quite like the design, the legs really are small even if its a monster / custom proportions. I recon he'd look cool with some sorta spikes or "extras" coming out of his/ its back!!!

pretty cool polyflow better than mine ;-)

Welcome to pc! Well, hard to say what kind of style you're going for here. The pecs looks strange. Like where they meet the upper abs is too sharp I think. Oh and If you're gonna post wires, can you post unsmoothed wires? Looks cool though.

Gmanx

Do you have a reference pic or concept for this? I can imagine him having a gorilla like gait, walking on his knuckles, which would mean rounder shoulders and a more hunched appearance. However he walks - it's a solid, stylised model - nice one.

D63

Howdy.

Showster: Yeah the idea is he'll eventually have all sorts of spikes and ridges and stuff going on. And you're right about the legs, I scaled them up a bit.

Daz: Thanks for the welcome! The pecs are the boobies right? I'll try to fix that. I've posted the unsmoothed wires for you.

Gmanx: I did a couple of real quick sketches of his head, but mostly made it up as I went.

Daz

Cool. Yeah I meant the area whe the breast ( pectoral ) mucsles meet the upper abdominals. Do you need all those edge rows in abs btw? They don't seem to be doing an awful lot and If you're unsure about the shape of the abdominals it'll be easier to tweak If they were simpler.

Very good model. To me it feels kind of odd how the nipples create such a sharp pinch, looks very distracting.
And I totally agree with Daz about the line flow on the abs.

Hi. Got rid of the useless polys in the abs and tried to fix the problems with the pecs and the nips. Also changed the face a bit and added in some spikey-ness.

I've linked to the images as they are kinda big-ish.

Adding in some clothes and bits and pieces, going for a tribal sort of thing.

Hey. Been testing out normal maps in Max 7 for the last week or so, just to make sure I can actually do them. I've also finished the low-poly version and unwrapped him, he's around 7000 polys so not exactly LOW poly, but it'll do for now. Also been mucking around in ZBrush for the first time and I think I'm getting the hang of it.

This is how he looks in Max so far:

Cool model man! But i actually don't like his veins on Zbrush'ed version, they looks weird, especially on the left hand, forearm.

Kewl model. Been watching it for a while, seems to be comming along.

The feet look to a bit to flat to me though

D63

Omar: What about the veins do you find weird? Maybe too big or in the wrong place?

Matt: Yeah you are definetely right about the feet, I'll try to work on them some more.

Omar_Nabiev

Yes, some of them are too big (on the left forearm).

Thermidor

nice muscle defenition, personaly i think the forearms are the best part

dejawolf

i got feet like that ogre

Empty

I hope you dont have feet like that ogre.
No disrespect to the orge or you of course :P

Post a pic of your feet.. wont believe you without one.

D63

Yes I actually modelled them from photos I managed to get of Dejawolf's feet, so blame him for any anatomical errors.

Well he now has a normal map and an additional bump map, both 1024, plus a very basic diffuse map with lighting baked in Max. Don't really intend to take the texture any further at the moment, as it's definetely not my forte, so I think I'll do some more animations. Here's a couple of renders from a walk cycle I've done and a wire:







I'd post the walk cycle but Photobucket doesn't accept movie files.

Edit: Hmm, anyone seeing those thumbnails?

Sean McBride

nope, not seeing them. Progress looks excelent though! Really love the way he turned out. You're really not going to do a color map for him?
