Centaur dude

EDIT: Sorry Minotaur dude haha

Been a while. Thought i'd get back in the mix with a new character, just working out proportions firstly and good topology because it's going to be animated. Needs a lot of work and tweaking so i'd appreciate any critiques or advice

Do you mean Minotaur instead of Centaur ?

Yeah i realised just after i posted go figure haha

Minor update, just been working on him a bit today. Im going to go for a diffuse-only woodland theme, materials in the wood, leather, fur area. Need some ideas for a weapon, i was thinking either a spear or some kind of scythe thing.

Update! So finished the model and did the UVs. Ran into a bit of a problem when i went to experiment with doing a rig for it in Maya LT (which i'm road testing) in that it comes up with a non-manifold error when i try to bind the skin despite there not being any non manifold. I'm curious if anyone else has used Maya LT and ran into this. According to Autodesk they're working on it but it's a bit of an odd one (If anyone is interested my forum post is here which details the issues im having) I'd use normal Maya to rig and animate but it's for a competition where you have to just use Maya LT (sucks right haha) We'll see how it pans out.



Anyway i'm just going to keep going with it and at least get it textured, here's where im at, a lot to do as usual. Critique welcome

Better and almost done textures

Well it's done, onto the next thing!

Really liking the look of this! I love the look of him, very rustic.

WOW, soo cool one, really great job

base mesh I super good, the textrues could use a lot of work though.
there is no material deffenision in there, everything looks like some dirted up metal because of that overlayed noise texture. an there is no color variation in there either, the skin and the helmet looks like the same material.

you could really push this to something amazing.

Cheers guys. Thanks for the critique Lotet, i get what you mean. I suppose its the disconnect between knowing that and how to achieve that haha do you per chance have any resources that focus on that kind of thing with diffuse only textures? I'm tempted to just do a different character and focus on that instead of going over this one again.
