My M.E.R.C. highpoly finished!!!!

Frantic27

I have recently been working on the highpoly counterpart for my low poly charcter based on this design:



As you can see there are few differences based on "on the fly changes" I've made during the development of the character, certain things I noticed didn't translate too well in the 3d version. Additionally I wanted a sense of continuity apparent in the design as a whole!

And this is the base body upon which I built the clothing:

Welcome to Polycount my friend!! Model looks excellent, go for it!

The boots look like 70'ties plateu-boots instead of heavy boots like you drew in the concept.

Otherwise not bad at all, but the character and the presentation of it really is a gaming cliche come alive

Agreed about the boots, I think the soles are too thick, unlike in the concept, but that's just a style thing. Everything else looks good to me.

You know you shouldn't insult my guy, everybody has their fetishes such as disco dancing...lol...no I agree about the boots I could shorten the soles a bit I suppose...I just gotta make sure he looks tall enough!

Thanks guys!

I like it very much, it has a lot of shape to it

As for improvements, I think your model could do with a bit of high frequency loving. The skin on his face and arms looks extremely smooth. The armor, while I love all the shapes and grooves in it, needs some surface details. Whether you're going to model that, or add it through texturing is up to you. Either way, I like it and it will be a solid portfolio piece, good job
