Captain America

Harry-3dCraft

Hi guys! This is my first thread here at Polycount, though I follow the forum for quite some time now. I've made this version of Captain America, inspired in the concept of the Ultimate Cap by Joe Madureira, I wanted to make a real strong Captain, with similar proportions we see at Street Fighter IV. Total of 6338 tris.

Here's the turntable: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBq7OvjTdMw&feature=player_embedded"]Captain America game model - YouTube[/ame]

So far that's it, I'm preparing some more stuff to this character. Waiting for your feedback, hope you like it \o

Guys, here's the animation I made with this character, like he was a character in Street Fighter IV. All animation done in Maya 2013.

You, my-friend are definitely onto something! Just watch those hang-times and I noticed the midsection (under the ribs) deforms quite significantly, perhaps less weighting on that area?

On 2nd look -- It's not a weight issue , it's the silhouette. He looks like he's wearing a girdle, take some taper out of that midsection!

Thank very much, OtrickP!!! Yeah man, it was a pain in the ass the distortion I got in some areas, I tried to fix them but they always appeared in some other places hehe because if I added or removed weight from an area it would distort another one. I'm kinda getting used to skinning, but I will do better next time, thank very much for the comment!!

Nice. I think you should have kept the shield on him at the start of the animation.

Harry-3dCraft

hmmm ok, but why? My intention was to show two different stances, one with and one without the shield.

the legs are currently much too short, it makes him look kinda dwarf esque, and you could do with adding a lot moer information to the diffuse and spec, he currently looks like the material is really just flat colours, it could do with more information going on there, but good so far

The pockets are really hurting the silhouette, and it looks bad when they clip into the legs. Besides, you don't want to give your masculine hero a feminine hourglass figure.

Harry-3dCraft

hey guys! thanks for the feedback. Yeah, the legs are short, actually I intended that, perhaps it's a little bit more than I intended, but it was part of the stylization, in the beginning I made him taller and I thought it was not what I was looking for, this gave him a more brute aspect.

Concerning with the silhouette, it is true, the pockets are kinda off, I think specially in the depth.

Thanks for the replies!

I was looking for some Joe Madureira pics of Cap, and came across these




Maybe they'll help.

Harry-3dCraft

Right! I had seen these in my researches,it's amazing but I didn't quite like how long legs this guy has, He's got some huuuge legs and feet, I wanted something shorter and more brute. But the upperbody is amazing, thanks for the help!
