WIP :Custom UT 3 Character (NSFWish)
polycounter lvl 14
First post on polycount, after some looooong lurking and collecting dropped jaws over and over.
As the title implies, i´m creating a new ut3 character for the Necris Faction and currently, being in the process of creating the hi-res model.
Here´s some renders with some PP along Normal outputs and a wireframe.

I know she´s quite of a flak-bait with that bulky piece of something on her head, but shes intended for a machinima and not for actual gaming, so thats not too important i think.
Next step will be adding ornamental pieces and some structures to the back.
Any C&C is welcome.
Hope you like it.
Cheers!

I think she needs overall more details in the normal map but maybe its this clean style you are going for.
Im curious how the texture will look.
I hope you will release it also as a Player model because the UT3 community lacks of Custom Chars. Maybe with changing the huge head piece a bit for that.
Aye, i´m in the process of adding more detail such as ornaments, and stucco/fresque like plates here and there along with some rivets.
Cheers
Been tinkering around with that fresque lately.
It doesn´t really look the way i want right now, so im gonna redo it.
Just want to show what direction i´m after.

Gonna optimize those fresque meshes in the next days, cause they´re bit too high poly for the desired effect, plus i want more of them scattered all over the top cranium armour.
Any suggestions are welcome of course
Cheers
Had to focus on other things, and thus didnt had much time to work on that piece.
Anyway.

Open for any advice, suggestions and so
cheers!
but over all, it's a really cool and solid looking design, I love me some biomechanical chicks with pointy feet.
@neo_god
I´ll be adding more of such Art Nouveau to the armour here and there in gold color. At least thats what i´ve planned. But i first need to do the armour plates, which is quite tedious
Granted, the tissue starts quite abrupt, as its 2 seperate pieces ive just stuck into each other (tissue and arm/body).
Acutually i´ve wanted to blend the pieces´ normal maps together in photoshop, as the tissue part has higher res. than the arm. Would that work out?
The thing about the figures is, that i want her to be some sort of necris goddess or something, and that her armour depicts the "mythical creation" of the necris (bla bla).
I might add some more figures to the shoulder pads to give it more continuity.
Thants and Cheers!
cant wait for the final release.
I saw this up on another website with some review saying the legs look like an afterthought and that they should be more akin to MegaMan's style, but I imagine that's just because they haven't played Unreal and are looking at it from a purely rational standpoint. Regardless, I urge you NOT to follow that suggestion. The legs are very "Necris-y" currently and it looks great on the model. Someone also mention the "groin patch" looking strange, but really, she would lose much of the semi-organic Goddess look were she more conventionally clothed.
Just my 2 cents.
Thanks
Well well
shes nearly ready now i´d say.. dont really have the patience nor the time to continue working on this model, so im calling it done, just gonna rig and export it.
made some changes to the head (obviously).
some viewport grabs:

Cheerio
I like the face specular it really makes it pop also the armor is coming along nicely.
...looking good so far, dig the headpiece.
Ye, you gotta change where u upload urs pics. The pop ups are annoying as hell.
I really think u need to add more ornate geometry details for the normal map to pic up. Those squiggly curved lines are not cutting it as a filler. I'd suggest adding shell like tiny spikes over the armored parts.
You had some really good ideas, you shouldn't let people de-rail you from them if you think you can make them work!!
it`s really Time to look forward and finished this Model.
We wait for a answer.
