Body modelling

JamesWild

Following the facial modelling which I somehow passed, now presenting... BODY MODELLING!

Mesh viewer screenshots:



World screenshots:



Texture maps (downscaled):


Now I realise this mesh is even worse, but I need the feedback for the accompanying report.

Thanks!

Post some wires of the mesh, not just the UV's, it looks like there is a lot of triangulation that shouldn't be.

JamesWild

Thanks. Rendering some up now.

I know it's utterly shocking.

JamesWild

Here's the first one others still rendering.
I also rendered on 128 grey (which is also how it looks in Photoshop/Max) but on uploading it turned white. Sorry.

Why have you got images as big as 8294x4666?? Took me forever to load this page on my 5mb internet connection.

Seriously though I wouldn't worry about your report and take time to fix your mesh and like you said if you need feedback then I'll assume you need to act upon it.

From looking at the UV Template it's easy enough to tell your mesh is heavily triangulated with little regards to the topology. Some things to think about:

• Head is quite long and eyes aren't socketed properly
• lack of defination in the torso and arms
• Overall "blobbness", looks like its coming from the normal map
• Your specular is not a specular map, your mesh viewer screenshots look like UE3 renders in which case supports colour specular maps.

*Edit

Just saw the wireframe, yep no topology lol... Also, start rendering smaller images. 1024x768 is best.. not 2048

Here's another one for your amusement

I've already spent far more time than I allocated on this mesh so I won't have any time to make changes with other projects needing work too. It's just so I can say I got industry feedback for the report.

Thanks for the comments so far.

The mesh also lacks sufficient loops in the limbs for when it deforms.

My advice to you, as clich

JamesWild

Thanks for all this feedback it should really help me at least pass on the report

darthwilson

Yeah but if your wanting to excel in 3D you should go beyond the call of duty and correct your work

JamesWild

Thanks but at this point I'm inches away from quitting my course because I see the work people do every day and know I'll never be half as good, even in areas I'm best in (hard surface, programming)

I think Kevlar is correct, starting with the fundamentals is going to be your best bet. It's imperative you think about anatomy and the structure of the figure as a whole before you start trying to tackle rendering & topology.

darthwilson

I wouldn't leave your course, are you looking for a job in the industry and what's your strongest talent? I know when we done games jam you split off from us and done your own text based game which was nice so I'm guessing you are going into the land of programming.
