[Mixamo Contest] Hungry School Girl

raccoon

Hey, looks like this contest will end my lurking on Polycount. It's probably time for me to be looking for feedback as well and this contest seems like a perfect way to up my skills.

I started out by trying to come up with a concept since I really need to get myself to do that and ended up changing some details for the sculpt I'm currently working on. I've been trying to find out how to do most of the details inside ZBrush since I've mostly worked with 3ds Max so far.

Since my main goal is to get better at this feedback would be welcome.

Anais

Love your concept. Welcome to the contest!!

raccoon

Thanks Anais!

I've been adding more details to my model. I'm planning to make some holes in the dress, but have to figure out what would be the best way to go about that and I'm not yet sure about the folds in the dress. Suggestions are welcome.

So I made a low-poly version of my model. Since I'm pretty new to this process I'm not exactly sure though how I'd go about creating the part around the arms or the bottom part of the dress.

Woah, Don't know how I missed this earlier but it's great! I love the concept and the sculpt is right there with it.

Thanks skyle!

I seem to be having some trouble with 3ds max though. 2 days ago I got a random error and since then I can't seem to get 3ds Max to load properly. Not sure if I'll be able to get that fixed and my model finished before the end of the contest.

raccoon

Managed to fix my 3ds Max in time. Looks like it had to do with a driver update. I seem to be short on time though and won't have a chance to work on the model tomorrow. I'm hoping I'll be able to try some poses in time, but I've never been fast with that. I could still tweak some details though. :P

Anais

Loving that styling!
Reminding you too: Make sure to take 5 minutes and animate it to qualify for the Frankenstein prize (+$250) using the promo code "ZOMBIES".

i love this character raccoon, hope you'll find some time to pose her.... but where's zombie-teddy?

raccoon

Thanks! I was hoping I would get a chance to add the zombie-teddy, but my struggle with 3ds max to get it back to work took a bit too much time. I really should add it though after the contest.

As for animating the character, I think the auto-rigger doesn't like the dress on my model much (not sure where I'd have to put the knees) and I'm currently too slow when it comes to rigging in 3ds Max to get that done in time. :P
