Gorilla

Hey guys, Its bin a while since I've last posted work on here so I thought I would leave you with something I've bin working on for a while. The model was created for a Fall out 3 Mod and has bin completed for it. I have been using the model to learn rigging, skinning, morph targets and animation, but I feel I better move on to doing some other work using what I've learned so far. I could however do with some critique before I finalize it for my portfolio.

Here is the Face with Morph as well.

Looks good, but looks a little to flat like plastic or something gorillas got kinda fluffy fur.

Thanks, yeah i had a problem with the fur since i couldn't fluff it up with alphas and didn't have decent fur textues. I guess i could try and play around with speculars a bit more to make it less glossy

I like it, but it can be improved.
I gonna suggest: Reduce the specular, try a different shader, put him in a gorilla pose and add some loose hair in some special spots like this image:

Maybe soft the normal map for the hair, but it depends of what shader you are using.

I think you should tone down the strength of the normals on the fur, and let the spec do most of the work

Thanks guys, will play around with both methods and see which looks better. As for the pose, I am going to place it on a stage so will definitely be posing it

Ok guys, i have now redone the fur a bit, let me know wat you think
@fabio brasilien for adding loose hair you need alphas which weren't in my original bref. I can give it a go but (query to everyone) would it be an issue that the alphas are on a separate sheet see-ing as im already using a 2048

Looks better, i would had put the alpha hair on separate since i it uses an alpha and you would probably use another compression on that texture then the base.

And i would suggest to put some more love into those teeth kinda letting the rest of the model down.

Ok thanks, will do. They look a bit bright atm

Looks nice but yea what every one else said haha

Ok, quick update on the fur. Not too sure wether i should just alpha the whole model or just try and tweek the fur to match the existing texture.
