"realistic" pacman

magmabolt

hey all, thought I'd start a progress thread for my realistic pacman project. He's my ugly baby XD

Lockewood

Well that's terrifying! Great job though, are you going to be doing a Ghost version? Would be super interested to see what you do with them.

pmiller001

nice! i wish his mouth was bigger.

If pacman was real, fuck I'd be scared of him. That face is just terrifying, in a good way. Awesome detail. Great work!

magmabolt

@Lockewood thanks . Why yes I was working on it on my livestream earlier XD. Had some troubles around the edges of the ripped cloth, still not sure how to do torn fabric properly @_@

@pmiller001 thanks . Ya I agree, the teeth were added after the body so I thought I had enough room but the chompers were bigger than I expected o.0. I'll probably fix it up before I do the low poly

Joltya

Man the ghost is awesome! Please tell me you're going to render a whole scene with these guys.

DShepard

What are your plans for ol' Pacs material? He's a little car-painty at the moment?

MeshMagnet

Meth is a hell of a drug.

Deathstick

der goes his tongue

Nice job!

aesir

Awww damn that ghost. I love it.

However, I feel like the ghosts always seemed mouthless. You know, big eye holes in a sheet no mouth kinda style? So what if you made the mouth tiny?

magmabolt

@Joltya Thanks , ya I'm plannin on taking them into ue4 and at least rendering a small scene with some props. A friend of mine wants to take the characters/assets and make a full on disturbing pac-man game XD

@DShepard Ya you're totally right, I'm still learning how to make proper renders of materials :O. I wanna try to make an sss shader in ue4 I think. I want him to feel really fleshy and gross sorta like the character from sugar rush

@MeshMagnet hahaha!

@Deathstick thanks!

@aesir Thanks . Haha, that mouth makes him look so dissatisfied with life. Ya I actually thought the same thing when I first tried to make em but it just wasn't doing it for me. It wasn't creepy enough XD. With this one I decided to give him the mouth but not let it protrude too far from his face so the silhouette would be smooth as if the mouth wasn't there. I might still fiddle around with it though . Here's the old render:

Bolovorix

Ha, this is really cool. Can't wait to see the finished pieces!

Chimp

Hah I like it! Looks like he'd get along with my avatar.

aesir

Ah good reasoning! Man, if you ever animate these it is going to be trippy as hell.

magmabolt

hey guys, sorry for the delayed post. Had to work at a bakery during valentines day (don't do that ever) and then had to reinstall windows XD, but I'm back!

@Bolovorix thanks man, me too XD
@Chimp thanks . Oh man I wish I had your avatar when I was concept sculpting XD
@aesir haha ya a friend of mine is a rigger and said she would set me up. I think I modeled the low poly for some decent control

ok so I got my low poly made, uv'd, n started texturing. I've only made like one model for pbr so I'm still trying to get a handle on the texturing techniques 0.0. I also got to do some sss stuff too which was a ton of fun

Fomori

Those sculpts are really cool!
You've definitely lost something from them going to the low poly. At the moment he just seems to be lacking contrast and form? Is there any AO? It might just be the material or lighting on him. Would like to see more experimentation with those.
