Spudnik · Nov 2012

Could you post wireframes with normals? Looking fantastic!

hanwerks · Nov 2012

heres a quick update,
flat color view in 3ds max:D

i'll post the wireframe in abit yea
still tweaking the colors on the arms and cape though, cant decide between purplish or a more orange-red tint

edit: the imageshack compression does not do justice! some highlights are gone in the compression....:(

Yes, be careful with the color, but do not forget about the materials(masks).
gogogo! Do it!
Maybe twist word-lines on the scroll? Or get them more chaos and rhythm...at a distance, they merge into a clear lines.

bumped into a problem during import

my items appears smaller..

opened my 3dmax items file, imported the fbx scenes which turns out smaller than my objects, rescaled my objects to the bones and then skinned and exported to fbx, and after import it is of a smaller scale.... must have been something to do with the scaling of my items...hmm anyone else encountered similar problems?:poly105:

I'd say keep the colors more muted, go for a dirty, faded maroon. I really like this, except the weapon. I get the base idea, but it just doesn't look good, it looks like a bouquet of roses, not a magic scroll. The top part expands too much, instead of having it blossom like that, I'd suggest a more standard cylindrical shape. Actually, what do you think of placing it inside of a scroll tube, and having the glowing scroll exposed on the uncapped end, where the weapon head is?

Example of a Scroll Tube-

@humblerbee: yea, went for a toned down version instead, was testing out the different colors earlier on, and on the weapon, yea that would have been cool too!:)

@leshiy: was worried that chaotic might turn out to become visual noise instead when it becomes so small, hence having them merge into lines when far away would be better perhaps:)

and viola! solved the silly scale issue on the import, but the import function doesn't allow for a preview of all items attached all at once

anyway this is it!:D
