Character Model Rocket Raccoon

terrytanke · Aug 2016

Hi awesome people of Polycount I am still learning the workflow for characters.
Currently trying to create one of my favorite space characters Rocket Raccoon.
Really want to do the character justice.
I am having some trouble in how I should create the fur any suggestions.
All feedback,crits,tips and bashing are welcome.

Make the fur using strategically placed fur alpha cards.

Brian "Panda" Choi Yeah I also thought that, and the rest of the texture maybe handpainted?
Thanks for the advice

How realistic are you hoping to make this? Or how cartoonish? What is your render target?

terrytanke · Aug 2016

Brian "Panda" Choi More to stylized then to realism in terms of texture, do want to try some nice shader maps though. and not extreme in terms of polybudget

His hips are so wide his anatomy is reading female. I'd get the proportions fixed, on his whole body, to get him looking more masculine.

Small update on the proportions also tried to put a bit more thought in to his back.
All feedback and suggestions are welcome

The body seems a little long compared to what the legs are. And the arms a little skinny. Also his pants are usually puffed out a little more. Hopefull this will help a little bit!

Zitch you are right his body is a bit too long

thanks for the comparison, I will adjust that and the puffines of his pants:).

The overall read is reading muddy and wobbly. Why are you not separating it out into more subtools for cleanliness?

terrytanke · Aug 2016

@Zitch This a bit better?

@Brian "Panda" Choi good question, don't really have an answer. I thought because the suit is sort of skintight it would be easier this way. Still not used to this pipeline, still have allot 2 learn

Any suggestions for that, tips and feedback appreciated .

You need to refine the sculpt more. Your normal map is reading really lumpy and I suspect it's because your sculpt isn't clean. There's also a lot of human anatomy that needs fixing, like how the deltoid inserts into the upper arm, etc. Right now your upper arm is anatomically incorrect, etc.

Do you mind posting an image of the sculpt you baked from?
