Rhino - UDK

danpaz3d

Just finished up this Rhino character + enviro piece. A couple days a week over two months. ZBrush, 3dsMax, Photoshop and rendered in UDK.

Crits+Comments welcome.

UPDATED: lighting on face









And a short video of the UDK scene.

I'd tone down the wrinkles in the face; they feel much too dark & deep at the moment.

Interesting character, very nicely done!

@DWalker
Yeah got some more feedback on that too. Turns out it was a lighting issue on the face. Updated!

@NegevPro
Thanks!

Looks great! Really like the uniqueness of the character :P

Rhino Space Janitor... I love it!
The only crit I'd make is that the entire scene looks like it has too much noise in the textures.

Thanks all!

@DougClayton4231 Yeah, the original concept by fightpunch is awesome. I just needed to tweak it to fit in the enviro.

@TorQue[MoD] Agree, noise was the main issue I had in the whole thing. I was going for a grimy look but It did turn out a bit too strong in the end. Main positive is I now know what not to do next time!

DWalker

Part of me REALLY wants you to add one of those little tickbirds that always hang out with rhinos.... perhaps an itty-bitty robot?

I also think having the tail poking out of the back would add some personality, but I'm not sure how that would work with the armored suit.

danpaz3d

lol can't believe I didn't think of that bird before. Would be a good addition.
Not sure about the tail though, don't think it would fit.

I would try to knock the environment back a little bit so you can separate the character from it. Both the character and the environment are really saturated and vibrant so its hard to see what is going on. I would reduce the noise on the environment textures, desaturate them as well, and create a lighting system to show off the character, not the hallway. The character is cool though dude, I like what you did with the colors, and his facial expression.

Really wish his eyes followed true rhino anatomy. I want them more on the side of the face and not so humanized. Sorry does that make sense? I really like these proportions....granted this style is more cartoony, yet you could make it more realisticly finished.

danpaz3d

@BARDLER Yep, I agree with all your comments. I should have also mentioned that this was for a school project and I had to follow some poor design criteria. :shifty:

@pixelpatron I was actually thinking about that when I started, but I just decided to follow the original concept a bit more. Considering the human-ish posture/hands etc..
