Kirsten Kreuk

Brenden Frank

Hi,

I'm new to the boards. I'm a student taking game art and design at the Art Institute of Vancouver-Burnaby.

I'm currently working on a realtime renderable Kirsten Kreuk. Right now she sits with only a painted color map(with alpha for opacity on hair). I'm working on a high poly to bake some normal/spec. Any comments or critiques that would be helpful in making it look...well...more like her would be appreciated :P



Cheers,

-Brenden

She's looking nice. Looks pretty close to the real life version. I think her nose isn't quite right and her cheek bones should be a little rounder in the 45 degree shot. Just small tweaks to really sell the character.

Brenden Frank

Thanks, I'll note that for my next update. I took the hair into zbrush and worked out some normal maps.

the ears and the hair are about the only things I'd recognise.

how many references are you using?, I've been trying to model characters from heroes and having it playing and scrolling through it in a corner of my screen always really helps get a feel for the 3d shape. maybe do that with smallville if you haven't already.

I wouldn't think about texturing it without getting a really recognisable model

Well, Brenden, first it's Kristin, second, I think you need get more refs of her, because unless she got new role of eggheaded alien in human disguise, I can barely recognize her.
Sorry if it's sound harsh, didn't meant to. Best of luck to you with completing that project.

I'd have to agree, more reference is needed. Especially when tackling such a beauty as Kristin. By your account her eyes have grown and she got a nose job.

The face needs more loops but bonus points for eyelashes, most people forget them.

If you need pictures of her head from all angles, just rent the superman DVD's / acquire a show and do screen caps.

The Umbrella Man

The area around the lips chin and jaw bother me. I would pay special attention to that area as it looks a bit like she has no chin and her upper lip is all puffy looking.

Brenden Frank

Ok, so focus on the jaw and chin area, make the eyes a little smaller. Not quite sure what I should do with the nose. Where should I put more loops? I don't want this going too high poly.

Oleg Linkov

you don't need more loops, i think hawken was talking about shape.



see the difference?

The lips are a huge problem here, the corners of the lips should sink in and blend into the face,
