Gamer Geeks on Parade WIP's

Valandar

Seems that several of my friends (members of the Society for Creative Anachronism) have decided that they would REALLY like to have models of themselves for a LAN party planned for late Summer / early Fall. So, they asked me to do it.

So far, I have exactly one head partially done, mostly as a WIP test rather than an actual part of the model - the head of one of my friends.



and the wires:



Yes, they all want to be in their pseudo-Medeival garb in their meshes, NOT in sci-fi armor or anything, despite that they will be in Quake 3 and/or UT2k4 (if I can manage to figure out UT2k4 Player Modelling by that time). More to come later...

looks like your on the right track, I'd focus a bit on the nose as it looks a little funky at the mo

Valandar

So what exactly am I looking for on the nose?

Tully

Well, in the textured image, the black of the nostril appears to be poking outward. Probably not what you were going for!

I'd try to pump up the contrast on the texture, especially around the eyelids, sides of the nose and the mouth. It's looking quite flat at the moment.

Daz

You also might want to consider painting ( or photosourcing in this case ) the eyeball on a seperate part of the map. It's a little distracting that you can see the eyeball colours creep into the lower eyelid on the head mesh due to some not quite precise enough UV-ing.

Valandar

Okay, the eyes are elsewhere on the map, now. The nose is giving me a few problems, but I should have it corrected ASAP...

EDIT: Oops, hold on, gotta re-render...
