Hey he looks great, and for just under $2 who wouldn't wanna get that...seems like you put a lot of time in to it, good on ya!

EDIT: Just bought it myself, awaiting DL link

Just wanted to quickly ask how you did the laces, as I skimmed over the videos and didn't see how you created them.....were they just nurbs extrudes from curves? Thanks

Thx! First of all, I jus wanted to ask if downloading was right ? Any problems ? Beacuse BMT sometimes is a little bit slow. If Any one have troubles with downloading I can share files trough google drive if you have gmail account.

Sure I've spend some time, even more than I expected
Laces was created just in maya, placing a little box and then extruding it around the body. Sometimes I had to skip some stuff in order to show other.

The internet user in me is blaring warning lights.

The site seems kind of 1990's bare and sketchy. Can anyone confirm the video and payment options are legitimate?

Looks like a really solid character. Nice job man. I especially like the proportions from the back angle. Nicely done!

fantom

Thanks BradMyers82 !

karera

Looks good but I wonder how hard it would be to skin and animate this guy. Can't really make out any clean topology for that kind of deformation. Perhaps I'm wrong. Anyway. Cool character and clean textures.

BoBo_the_seal

Looks great!

Ravanna

when you're too poor to afford a tutorial for a very reasonable $1.75, you know you've hit close to rock bottom

TheDarkKnight

Well I bought it, for that price I couldn't resist, and might learn something new.

Watching it now, so for JadeEyePanda I can confirm that it works

gHys

@karera I had the same thought . maybe it can work with few additional loops on the knees and elbows. face topo could be usable i suppose but wire it's too small to see .

for the aesthetics side i realy like it !

fantom

BARDLER - " a $1.75? You really know your market of starving artists lol "

sure 1,75$ I wanted to make it very cheap, I think there is a lot of tutorials around but prices are high so I've made a little difference

Nizza_waaarg - Thanks!
Gazu - Thanks!

Per Buy just 1 Download

I have downloaded the Tutorial on my Laptop.
Today i tried to download it on my desktop but the links are closed.

If the tutorial is as good as the model it will be well worth the price!

Scrubbing through the tutorial, yarrgh, wish there was more hard surface moments, because I'm really struggling with that.

Plumbjet

OutStanding, Will buy today at some point, Do you think you will be doing anymore?

Thanks! Actually I'm thinking about making one more about hard surface stuff, maybe some king of vehicle. If you have any ideas let me know. I will think about this.

Cheers!

YES PLEASE! Vehicle, gun, or armor (please?) Specifically complex shapes and what not.

You might want to invest in a better mic next time as well, I have trouble hearing the video sometimes.

Great model loving the concept keep up the good work (Y)

Jack_Rhoad

Love this thing. From the intro and the vid info, it seems to be a tutorial with clear info, and quite affordable. I've had a few veins pop at the price of some rather basic tuts just because of the brand name so to speak.

fantom

miya-t - Thanks!
Jack_Rhoad - Thanks!

wizz

and quite affordable

yep. price is nice.
