Demoproud's 3D Character portfolio WIP

demoproud

Hey guys! I'm building my portfolio and I would really like some critique/feedback.
I've been around, but never really posted any work. Guess that is about to change :poly142:

I'll start off with a character for a personal game project I'm making which involves physics manipulation.
This the a 2d concept I did for the character, although in here she wearing highheels, I decided in having the character running around in boots instead.


Now the 3D mesh. This is the beauty pose straight of 3dsMax viewport using xoliulshader



Zbrush Hi-Res meshes



Standard T pose, again Max with xoliulshader, and wireframe.


Idle poses, same settings


and the textures.
Body:
- Diff
- SSS
- Spec
- Normal
- Emissive


Clothes:
- Diff
- Spec
- Normal
- Emissive




Okay so this model has been a pet project for awhile, and it has seen many revisions, especially the body mesh and the hair.
For now the meshes are still a little high poly, totaling in 50,000 tris, including weapon, and also the body is all there, with the clothes only being on top, so i could always delete the unnecessary faces.
The textures are 4096 size, so pretty large too.

In the first image, she has a USP weapon, but after seeing Grim's work, I decided to do more work on it :P

I got a list of things left to be done, but I'm taking a break from this project while I focus on others. Plus getting some critique and feedback will help when I go back to it.

Thanks
Ricardo

Hey man, Looks pretty cool.


I'd have to say that the biggest issues i see is that the proportions, don't match your concept very well. The shoulders are very wide in comparison to the hips. And her arms look the wrong length.

Usually arms on humans have the elbow line up with the belly button and the wrist at the bottom of the buttocks when they are hanging by their sides.

I will have a look at the proportions, because since you mention it seems that the elbow became too short in comparison with the forearm :poly124:. Thanks for the fresh set of eyes :poly142:

Well, it's time to bring some more portfolio work.

After spending a few months rewatching the ALF tv series, I decided to practice creating poly hair, in a fully hairy model, in this case Gordon Shumway.
I still have to finish the textures, as at the moment they are quite basic, but the model itself, I think it's pretty much there.




As always, any feedback, fresh set of eyes, or critique are welcomed

nicely done! The female could use some strong rim lighting to highlight the forms.

Thanks. I will do that

Hey,

First thing that stood out to me on the Alf model the fur is lacking variation. You're on the right track, though.

A couple of tutorials you could check out that have helped me with fur & hair:

Really nice tutorials. These will come very handy. Thanks!

I do agree with lacking variation, as in those printscreens i'm still using the same UV space for all polys in the same region. To be honest those alphas were a 10 min job and I still need to do some random selecting, move UVs and create more variety with the alphas.
I'll post an update as soon as I got something new

Thanks again

Hi again,

I went back to the Amy character, with a fresh pair of eyes, and thanks to Muzz pointing it out, that the model needed some work on proportions. Although something tells me that I perhaps overdid it a little :P Still, I'm quite happy how she's looking overall, but I need to rework the hair.

Here's the sculpted body..


and close ups of the face.




Now, on other works.. I recently found hidden in a folder, an old face bust which I did for university. I'm thinking in having another sculpt pass on it, so if there's any suggestions for improvements, I would seriously appreciate it



Feel free to critique, comment, give suggestions, as any feedback helps guys
Thanks

Sorry, if the images are too big, or if they take too long to load.. I need a new site hosting.

Hey guys. I fixed the uvws on the hair, made new alphas, although diffuse might need some extra work. I've also made Alf's best friend, Lucky aka Luckmeister. The cat still needs some texture work too. I think for the beauty pose im going with Alf in pursuit of the cat, although the one on the image below, its a wip, so it looks off. I need to readjust the body a bit more.

C&C always welcomed.
Thanks
