WIP: Space Marine (WH40k)

doomed

Hello i think this is only my second post here, but i would like a bit of c and c.

I'm not a big character modeler, making this my third. But i thought i'd give it a whirl after finishing a bolter from the same universe. I'm using the dawn of war characters as a reference, and some of the actual character sheets in the books. It's not all together yet, and i have to do the hands yet. It's current tri coun't is 3111, i have to do clean up and get it to 3000 so i can toss it into the torque game engine for class. Well tell me what you think, and your comments and crits are welcome and appreciated.

Looks pretty good, but it's tremendously skinny.
I googled this

as you can see, it's much wider, the current model you have looks thinner than many people are WITHOUT armor on.

Apart from the anatomy probs (shoulder pads too small, feet too big etc) and the above mentioned stuff its a great start, keep the updates coming!!

I did a bit of tweaking on the character. I've made some simple hands (something in the vein of unreal 2k4). I've also made the character a bit wider, and fixed his feet and shoulders. I'm going to mess with it a bit more, then i'm going to seal this up and get started on the unwrap. Sorry for the screen grab, heading to family christmas.

The shins of the armor are still bent, which they are not o the minitures. You seem to have some sort of cartoonish look going on there..

I think i am ready to unwrap and rig this beast.

If you have Dawn of War by THQ they have a space marine in max format in the Mod sample files. Hes fun to goof around with, and refrence.

I have always liked the big feet and shoulder armor in this character design.

Haven't had a chance to post this, this shot isn't the best either. However the space marine for the most part is finished, just a bit more texture work. He's in torque right now and running around. Here is a shot of him in show tool pro.

You usually request critiques when you mean to follow them to some extent.

Not bad, just remember that if you try to release this as anything other than a mod for an existing warhammer 40k game you will get a cease and desist order, or sued for copyrite infringement.

I've read their Ip agreement on the website, as long as you put the proper information in front of everything else you can continue to work on it. Also it's a school project.
