Didn't get enough demon work on Darksiders ... must have more!

Also thinking about OGRE MAGI. Love the two headed fat guy

Blank for Helm:

Blank for Sword:

Soldeus

This goes to FAVs right now, can't wait to see what you're going to do!. (An Ogre Magi set would be AWESOME imho)

Arkadius

This is exciting

beta_channel

If we report Bobo for spam or child porn or something, then we can probably get him removed from the comp...I say we band together and make this happen.

Sigh...happy to see you entering Bobo...sigh.

Anuxinamoon

Sweet! Hoping you would join BoBo!
Lucky OGRE MAGI gets a new do. Canny wait!

K-PAX

hah,waiting for your show~

Blank done for the helm:

bounchfx

damn dude, cool feeling silhouette, really clean Did you sculpt it then remesh, or hand make? I see the black wires but I also see that it's subdivided, so I'm confused on what to believe!

either way this looks sweet so far

ZacD

lovely modeling as usual, can't wait to see on the character.

Spudnik

...I'll be in my bunk.

EVIL

Awesome blank, cant wait to see what you do with it in zbrush!

Callesw

wow, this will be interesting!:)

Pierate

So I guess this means the rest of us Doom Bringer pickers are now screwed.

Seriously though, I like it a lot, looking forward to seeing where you take it.

Xeramon

It looks realy awesome so far, cant wair for more

Torch

Can't wait to see more, as soon as I saw the name 'BoBo' I thought this was gonna be sick

Hang10

This might be a redundant question but how did you get such smooth lines? Extrude along spline?

and I like the lighting/shader setup you have.

JacqueChoi

This looks EPIC!

One thing that I'm a little worried about are the back horns. If he turns his head, it might clip through the wings.

praetus

welp, pack it up boys, we're all done here. On a serious note, for your workflow do you concept out thumbnails or do you plan on tooling around in ZBrush for some rapid prototyping? I'm really looking forward to seeing what comes out of this thread either way.

D4V1DC

Nice, nice but like Jacque says maybe want to check that out, well unless your just making every piece which then you can ignore that issue.

Loving it

Snipergen

Yeah this is fantastic bobo! Awesome work man.

BoBo_the_seal

Thanks everyone!

bounchfx - Just poly modeling. This is the blank that I will take into Zbrush. The mesh has nurms subdivision turned on with a smoothing groups bias.

Hang10 - the horns were originally extruded along a spline but most of it was strip modeled first then I went back and filled in the gaps.

JacqueChoi - I took that into consideration when making the helm. That's why the horns dip inwards and then back out. They bow creating a space for the wings to function in. They only clip in extreme angles and I can live with a little clipping.



Praetus - For this helm I had a pretty clear idea of what I wanted to do (horns going into two directions and a mixture of a knights visor and a ram skull) so I just jumped into the model.

I will have more posted this weekend.

zicoV

Stop making the rest of us look bad.

No seriously cant wait to see more :thumbup:

Soldeus

Really nice design, it seems everything you do looks so badass . I would never know about the NURM's + Smoothing group technique if it wasn't for that stream you made of the Scythe, it saved me a lot of time in my workflow, thx! ^^

Like a baoss!!!

luckycat

lookin good! I like the horn design & helm good synergy with the Hero imo.

agentfx

lookin insane. Great design.

HntrLuc

Ugh I was totally thinking about Doom Bringer too! Looks great BoBo, looking forward to more!

Isaiah Sherman

No, Bobo! Go away! I wanted to do him!

er... I mean... lookin' good so far

damio

Woah that's a clean and badass model!

I watched that stream too, but i didn't get how he did it. Would help me alot if anyone can tell me how to do this. I know maya pretty well, but this is completly new to me.

echineon

could you tell us how you extract doom bringer model to 3d mesh please? I'm having trouble with that to start modelling cloths/armor for him. I use zbrush. Great work.

Hazardous

Awesome man! This will be great!!

When I saw this guy the other day I was like... dayum!! *must resist urge to model something thats not a chick!* his profile is so damn cool.

Lennyagony

Awesome, love thos clean shapes and lines. And that he looks like even more of a badass already!

Small crit, the rear horns have a quite a bit of thickness to them in the vertical space but not so much the horizontal.

Basically you have to:
1. Apply smoothing groups
2. In Editable Poly activate 'Use NURMS Subdivision' and by 'Smoothing Groups' http://puu.sh/1eopu
3. In the menu that will appear, put some iterations on the smoothing so it becomes a quite dense mesh. http://puu.sh/1eorn
4. Export that dense mesh to Zbrush as usual.
5. In Zbrush,go to the 'Geometry' tab and press the button 'Reconstruc Subdiv' (It may appear in a different place depending on your zbrush version) http://puu.sh/1eosx .

And thats it, you have all the subdivs back ^^ b4 knowing this I usally made a highpoly version the 'old way'. Turbosmooth on and support loops for the hard edges everywhere till it looked fine, and it was so so time consuming...

Hope that helped ^^ (Soz for the offtopic btw)

How would one go about doing that in Maya?

Is there a link I can follow to this stream you guys are talking about? I havent seen this workflow before and it sounds interesting

The closest I've come to replicating this workflow is to split the verts where u want to keep your hard edges. Otherwise check out the mark hard edge tool in maya.

Soldeus

I have no clue of maya, sorry.

Thanks!

damio

Thanks Soldeus!

Sorry for off topic.

BoBo_the_seal

Thanks everyone! Glad you like it. And big thanks to Soldeus for answering the questions about the nurms technique.

I don't have a lot of spare time so I'm going to do 3 pieces to completion first (the minimum for the contest) then I'll work in the other pieces as I have time. I've decided to do the helm, sword, and shoulerpads. If I have time I'll move on to the arms and waist. If I still have time after that I'll replace the wings and tail.

Here is the blank for the sword. I'm a big fan of cleaver style swords. It's all about hacking and not stabbing. Just seems more brutal.



- BoBo

motenai

Badass sword!

EVIL

Thats an awesome looking sword, and cleavers are awesome!

edit one small crit, the spot where the blade and the grip guard meets you have this extra spike that is formed from the blade. I feel that is just a bit much and messes up the flow of the model. Here is a small paint over suggestion that IMO looks a bit better

BoBo_the_seal

Evil: Good call! It sells the cleaver look more too. I'll make that change before going into sculpt.

- BoBo

TMiuccio

I'd say just sharpen up that spike that Evil painted out. I think that much curve in the small point just looks flimsy. Looking good +1

Soldeus

I think curving the handle spike-thingy would improve it a lot, right now that piece looks flat compared to the rest of the weapon(which looks so stylized with all that curved detail)imho, the rest is awesome. +1

Not sure if it will give some clipping problems with the doombringer hand if you curve it anyway.

jnumber9

uhhh... I always envy when I see such equal mesh. every polygon is like the others by the size. is this some dark wizardry or something? great job!

Tvidotto

your mesh is insane! =]

miura

Love the use of polys, so clean. Looking forward to seeing the textures!!

LuCh!

ah damn, this is looking way to awesome!
really like the helmet!

Tvidotto

plz update that Bobo! =]
