what what?!?

EarthQuake

Yeah so its been a while since i've actually posted a thread here.... I feel dirty, and you know... Not dirty like i usually feel either, like the bad kind of dirty. When you dont shower for 2 weeks.....


Will finish hair tomorrow, add eyelashes too probably.... Need sleep now


I will make love passionately many many times to j.i. styles for his fantastic skin shader.

pior

Hot hot!

EarthQuake

mmmmmm pior, you make me hot in my pants area.

retleks

Uhh, err, not to interrupt anything between you two, but nice model and texture She has character, doesn't look generic at all. Thumbs up. You may now return to you heat stroking.

KDR_11k

"She"?

fritz

yeah, after you guys are finished smoking your cigarettes and clean up could you elaborate a bit more on this "j.i. styles" shader? looks super awesome EQ.

retleks

err, is this not a she? Cause I'm not sure I see any "he" in there.

Wells

Yar its a she.

I think.

Its in the sketch thread...

and whats this about showering more than once every two weeks?

MoP

Looking really nice EQ. Reminds me a tad of DH's old spacemarine marine chick that he never finished (¬_¬)

What resolution is the texture? It seems a tad blurry given the geometric detail.

Asherr

of course she's a she. when was the last time EQ modelled a guy?

vahl

last week

EarthQuake

Texture is only 512, i was lazy and only rendered the normals/ambocc at that res.... Yes its a she, or a very pretty dude, depending if thats your thing or not.

aesir

she looks like someone just jammed their thumb up her asshole.

(she needs a thought bubble)

dur23

Too much subdermal not enough epidermal imo. Your chick models are ace EQ.

EarthQuake

aesir

now, is she saying dang cause I have a small wang and she was looking forward to some sex, or is she calling my wang a wang-dang? Cause I've never heard of a wang-dang...

(more little pores in the skin would be nice)

EarthQuake

Sorry, its not my fault that you're so uncultured that you've never heard "wang-dang" before. Oh and regarding your question, does it really matter? Shes going do be disapointed regardless.

J.I. Styles

"I will make love passionately many many times to j.i. styles for his fantastic skin shader"

Hot damn... In a totally pletonic and macho way of course

looking good Mr. EQ

EarthQuake

Its only gay if our balls touch.

nealb4me

*Walks in as the stench of forbidden man-love clears*

The upper lip profile seems a bit straight instead of curving and looking soft. Nice work though.

EarthQuake

Bit more, may paint a new hair texture and tweak the uvs a bit as well.... Theres some strange artifacts going on with the alpha planes......

MoP

She's looking oddly dark now. I preferred the old skintone (unless you just changed the lighting) ... also those eyelashes look really, really fake. That's not how eyelashes look - reference!

Hair looks like a good start but the ends shouldn't just fade off like that, again it looks pretty fake.

Shaping up nicely though.

EarthQuake

yeah same skintone, just different lighting. Ill play with the textures for that stuff some more in the morning, just wanted to get it all modeled out and uved.

gauss

she's mayor of SEXYTOWN USA if you ask me. and you did, on MSN, i just blocked you and then pretended to be offline.

ahem.

would love to see you work up the hair a bit more, at least to be somewhere in the amaazing neighborhood of the face of the skin. i think you've really done a good job here--she clearly has the same alien heritage of miss devon, but i think i'd be attracted to this girl more. for whatever a vaguely creepy statement like that is worth.

well keep cranking on it. not only is this portfolio material, it's portfolio centerpiece material. keep crackin'!

EarthQuake

I still need to up the res to 1024 and sharpen some details, and make the eyelashes consistantly blended like the eyebrows but heres some mroe work on it, WHORISH eyelashes ftw.

Downsizer

She looks like several of my half white half koren hybrid friends. Only like she was slapped in the face with some irish freckles.

I dig. Good to see something non generic.

dfacto

Hmm, I think what's been bugging me about her aside from the stuff I mentioned on MSN is that the bridge of her nose may be a bit too sunken into her face. Can we get a profile view? Even for a flatter asian nose, it looks like it's just a little higher than her cheeks. Could just be the shading though.

MoP

yeah, i thought the same about the nose dfacto, around the bridge it seems to get too sunken, should be a smoother curve in profile, right now it looks sharp and odd.

Zwebbie

Something about the upper lip bothers me, but I can't put my finger on it. It's like its geometry is going inward from the point the lip starts, rather than having an arc... Eugh, can't explain. Just looks odd to me. But I like the style of the character.

EarthQuake

While you're both correct i think its things like that that actually look a little off anotomically that make her unique and give her character, if i would have wanted to just make a generic pretty girl thats what i would have done The whole idea was to take someone like her that looked quite alien and still make it look attractive. I may tweak the mesh a SMALL bit, but overall i feel pretty good with the geo i have right now.

And im not saying my model is exactly like this by any means, it was never the intention to make it 100% like her(shes too creepy).

Downsizer

I knew it. Sin City right? I can spot a korean girl for miles. Unless she's chinese, then... just ignore me. I completely agree with you on the non-perfectionism.

EarthQuake

Yep yep, tho i dont know what nationality she is.

fritz

she's 3D...

Check out the portion about the tear line. I think it may help set the eyes into the head with less of a sharp transition, as that is my only issue right now. It could be the lashes though. Dunno if this can be incorperated into a real-time model very well.

Can I check out the nasal topology in quad, or closer without texture? It's impressive. Don't feel obligated, i'm just studying.

EarthQuake

Yeah thats no prob, here you go.

MoP

Nah, you definitely need to smooth out that nose bridge in profile. Nothing in nature is ever that sharp.

dfacto

I agree with MoP. Get another edge loop in there. You can keep the bridge flatter like you ahve it, but it needs to be smoother.

EarthQuake

I smoothed it out a little. Ressed up some textures to 1024...

MoP

See? Much better
Edit: Make the eyes shinier!

Thegodzero

cool, now make her tree bark looking hair look like hair!

EarthQuake

Can anyone tell me a good way to make a transperent duplicate eyeball to give it the proper highlights? I need it to be able to use normals so i can get that outer dip(eyes have inner dip now) I basicly just need a shader that will let me use normal, spec and alpha i think

aesir

dont know exactly what you want cause Im tired and stupid, but this might help with eyes.

DeathKitten

Thot be a foine heed bouy!

But... I think her eyelashes are sticking up way too much. They should protrude more horizontally from her face and not so vertical.

-DK =^..^=

EarthQuake

DK: maybe, last time i tried messing with eyelashes max wouldnt let me move edges or verts, would just deselect when i tried... but worked fine moving polys.. uhhhggg.... stupid max

hmmm i think this works ok for the eyes...

Pedro Amorim

i would do her. lol

James Edwards

But... she's... just... A HEAD!!!

shotgun

yes.. so.. what's the problem?

i'm sure pedro here had something in mind, give him a chance.

EarthQuake

Surely you are not foolish enough to try and assume i will actually finish this, let alone model a body? Silly druggie.

aesir

well at least make the tits too.

EarthQuake

maybe ill do a bust eh
