A thread of my own!

So, I've been trying to finally complete a full project. Hope it works this time.

Concept:



Model:



I think the helmet and hands could use some more love with this kind of polycount, and it also needs eyes and an inside of the mouth.

What I've been wondering about, is what to do with the robe. Is this enough polygons to make it deform well when animated?

And what of the under/inside? So far, I've just made a cone inside, with the legs modeled to about knee-hight. Will that work?

(And, of course, any other crits?)

Thanks for looking

Here's my take on your polyflow and proportions


I don't think you're putting detail in places that are going to be noticed (in this case the face, because it's mostly covered by a helmet), and putting on minimal detail in a large and noticeable area like the bottom part of the robe.

I'm not sure the proper way of handling the robe, but for a low-poly model I'd simply cap off the bottom and model the legs up to the ankles. That way when I get to animating, there's no chance of the cone or some other shape clipping through the robe by accident

haha, he has mad eyes, u know!
nice model, waiting texture...

Thanks, Slipstream. I added a lot of polygons to the robe, since it indeed needed some. It has a higher polycount now, but roughly between 2000 and 3000 was my aim, so I don't have to cut down on the face.



Long time no update, but a lot of things have come in between.
Started on the texture, but the cloth isn't working out too well. Any guidelines I should follow?

you didnt seem to take the last paintover slipstream advised, would look much better.

yeah the arms are way off they look like thet have been plucked and are just floating at the sides as if held by a magical force,



to me they look like this

This is proving to be more difficult than I thought.

Not quite sure if the changes I made helped. It seems to be roughly the same as the Loomis-reference I used, but still...

omg kiril0t, you got more anatomy references like that?

it looks better to me. but then, again, if you think there's more to improve on, then get on with it
