juancaratino, Gilberto Magno used specular/gloss/normal maps, and in this competition you can only use the diffuse map

the specular/gloss/normal , make the character look so great?

Cultrix

Just saying, that can make a difference in the look of the character

katzeimsack

Yeah saw his Vi yesterday, not bad. Diffuse only is definitely a handicap, but life would be too easy without handicaps, right?

of course shading has a lot of influence on a characters look

katzeimsack

First wanted to create an army version, but I like the original design too much.
Also working on an asset that's already designed is relaxing

First wip.
Realy early.
Just started to make a 3D concept, so I know what to do.

katzeimsack

FOR ANIMATORS!

After finishing my blockout I'll release a download link.
If an animator wants to use my model for the contest, you can use the blockout to create a rig and animate. Later during the challange I'll release my progress so you can present your animations with my final model!

katzeimsack

Still blocking the 3D concept.

Khronos

katzeimsack

Thanks! I use lines for reference.. this way it's easier to keep clean big shapes in zbrush. If I want to change the details i can just paint with white and don't have to clean any shapes.

The final hardsurface parts will be created in max anyway. Still beats zbrush by far when it comes to clean metal pieces.

Khronos

slosh

For a complex character like Vi, the reference lines seem like a must...great blockout!

katzeimsack

Still blocking. Noticed that this is the first female character I started from scratch since 2007 oO

duncan

AWESOME!

juancaratino

Come on man, you rule,

EiGHT

mrnunez

I like where you are going with the VI, you have a great methodology. Nevertheless, is that the final face? She looks scared as hell...

Khronos

Cheeky_Pickle

This looks amazing so far! Big fan of Vi.

On a side note, this gifs are killing me! :'}

Neox

good progress! personally i would scale the head a tad, right now she is like 9 heads tall, to me the original artwork never had this super hero feel to them, i guess this and the fact that she looks quite mature would be the things i would adress.
I like the face you have, just not sure if the character is supposed to look as aged as she does at the moment

katzeimsack

Thanks
Arms are 90% finished. Worked a little bit on teh face but that has to wait till everything else is finished.

Zabesho

Great job on the arms! I kinda like the look of the face too. Different from the original but very cool as well

katzeimsack

Thanks
Actually worked on the face again.. will probably change many times till december..

a max screenshot of the arms:

D_Wall

if you told me you did the arms completely in zbrush i wouldn't believe you xD
nice work! :]

3sm

Ah so good - super clean. Looking forward to your next update.

katzeimsack

@ D_wall: I'd never model this in Zbrush I use the advantages of zbrush to create the shapes, but afterwards max. Modifiers like bend turbosmooth, shell, displacement etc. make it so much faster and non destructive..

katzeimsack

Small update.

LRoy

Damn you're going all out with the details. The ingame model looks like they simplified a bunch of the original design. This should be crazy to see painted.

Dantert

SUBSCRIBED!

JRancourt

Them shoes! Looking good Sir.

slosh

This looks beyond awesome! Were you planning on baking down to a relatively low poly model?

Shanteez

Holly crap... Yeah this is going to be just for fun at this point. So many awesome ARTIST, I'm such the noob I'm nervous to share my WORK

katzeimsack

Thanks!

@LRoy: I didn't want to limit myself. I'll just make an awesome presentation character and see how the ingame view works out.

@slosh: Sure, but not super low. I'll aim for the polycount I used for ps3/360 characters in crysis 3. Something around 10k tris.
