LPC: Time to Die - Scoob

ScoobyDoofus

I know I'm wicked late entering this thing.

I have to shuttle files back and forth between my Mom's AOL computer in the house and my shitty laptop in the RV where I've been staying, which has no internet. So...I've been working without refs.

My idea is Cillian Murphey from 28 Days Later. Just a regular guy who goes apeshit and kills zombies with his bare hands.




I dunno if Im going to try to do him from the film or just remain "inspired by" as I dont have Bodypaint on the laptop and it may be hard to do a likeness without it. Im gonna get some refs today and make a go of it though I think.

Updates to come. Ive already started UV'ing him.

ScoobyDoofus

I know I'm late and unfinished, but I wanted to show something. Yay Bodypaint! Not quite a likeness, but I don't know if I'm doing to be able to do that in 800tris + 128 texture.

If you wanna make him look like Cillian Murphy, you gotta give him a wide jaw, like in the mesh, ear width. Guy's got a weird skull.

Travis_hill

Really Nice! Good work on the model.
What are the black lines on the underside of his arms?

Uly

incognito, i think he just meant a character in a similar vein.

scoob, that's looking real nice. I think defining the anatomy a little more on his back with some more medium detail / flat planes would help alot. Also, the back of his shoulder/armpitty area connects to the arm a bit weird.

I think the pants look really cool, too. especially how you did the undapants peeking out

ScoobyDoofus

I think this is pretty much final unless somebody spots something glaring. Lemme know!
Next up rigging & posing!

shotgun

good stuff scoob! you made this better look much better. As a final touch consider some broad uber-highlights with some saturated fuzz around them.

:::Unfiltered:::::::Filtered:::::
Which do you prefer?

Just for kicks, some quick & dirty facial anims.

[edit: Added the filtered/unfiltered]

adam

Seeing the pixels move around like that makes me giddy for old-school adventure games (Full Throttle!?)

RazorBladder

Scooby, ur facial expressions have given me multiple orgasms

butt_sahib

haha damn that is some nice texturing.
The back is probably not upto par with the front imo, probably becuase you didnt give it as much time and/or its flipped vertically so it might be a pain in the ass to get to work.

MoP

cool stuff, i'm impressed with the facial anim stuff too, didn't think anyone would pull off that level of detail with this budget.

ploon

Wow that is very nice looking indeed and the facial animations are just making
me go "wha?!?how?!" heh Excellent stuff and gotta say personally I like the unfiltered
purely because it hits home that this is low res stuff looking impossibly awesome.:thumbup:

Japhir

wow great stuff man! wires? flats? me wants to steal your trickies

Another quickie with some more face targets.

Snipergen

This is amazing. I stared 10 minutes at it!

PixelGoat

Man that looks wicked!

butt_sahib

Any and all tips on how your doing those eyelid and mouth animations would be very much appreciated!

LEViATHAN

Think he scaled the eyes down on the z-axis.

Funky Bunnies

is that why you have the eyes totally vertical stripes?

This looks way cool, scoob

ScoobyDoofus

Thanks for all the love gang!

Yes, the eyes are just 1 pixel tall in the texture and stretched across 1 quad on the model. Leviathan called it, I just scale that quad to 0 height and back over the course of 3ish frames via morph targets for the blinks. All the others are just me fiddling with various target mixtures & values over time.

Here are all the targets I've made up so far and the face texture @ 1:1 for ref. I haven't rigged the eyes for look-at targets yet, and not sure if it'll work with how I've got it now. We'll see!


UPDATE: changed to new bloodless texture & added a couple new targets.

LEViATHAN

How did you do the mouth though?

ScoobyDoofus

I just dragged verts around into the morph targets you see in the above post. Then dropped a morpher modifier onto the model and included all those faces as targets. Over time I can adjust each targets influence and thereby create facial expressions. I create separate targets for left & right sides so I can make asymmetrical expressions.

butt_sahib

Yeah i figured it was scaling,but its always better to ask
I still dont get how you did the mouth. I see teeth in one of your posts (post#17) but nothing that white on your texture map?

LEViATHAN

I meant the mouth opening/closing in this pic



Since the lips are modeled as one piece and you didn't texture anything between the lips.

ScoobyDoofus

I modeled them as one bit, and when I decided to animate him I just selected the mouth edges, hit "break" and boom. They were originally POSED as one piece but are just split edges that open up when I animate. I've got enough verts for a couple poses, and if I interpolate between many poses at once I can have a multitude of possible facial expressions at any given moment. If I haven't said it before here, by the way, there is no mouth interior (yet, I may do one). Anything you see inside the mouth is just the backside of the neck polygons or something.

butt_sahib

haha that is some clever shit.

Cheers for the info!

DockRock

This rocks! The facial expressions are great and the models topology is reall nice and clean! Great stuff. Your blinking eye technique is pretty slick too!
