Centaurian Minotaur Guy

Maddness

Yo Yo, it's me again. I'm actually switching to another one of my projects, which seems weird, but it works.

Regardless, I'm texturing this model that my friend, Julio Medina, modeled, and I'm a bit stuck. I can't think of what else to add to his default map.

I love the guy himself, and wanted to go a different route than Julio took him.. (displacement map the hell out of him and then just throw a pretty simple texture). I wanted to make a deeper texture on the guy.


So I'm posting him up so I can get some suggestions on where to take him next. Obviously he's not done, so forgive any gray or blatantly bad texture. OH! and the pink on his stomach.. well I just thought of him slapping himself in the stomach a lot. haha



I appreciate the comments. I haven't been on this forum too long, but I've been really enjoying the talent, the conversation, and the opinions of everyone in the community.

Thanks,
Mike.

Nice form. Can't wait to see some better fur texturing going on here.

He has extraordinarily under balanced (skinny) legs for such a huge upper girth. For real, we're talking snap on standing here.

Maddness

quickel: yea I'm working on adding fur patches to him, I'm trying to decide what angle to go at it, though.


cholden: hmm.. i see what you're saying. i'll let the modeler know, that's something he should be aware of too.

Maddness

just a little update. The hooves, horn tips and armor still need some color tweaking, but I was working on color schemes mainly for the moment.

but here's the update.

Maddness

i changed the picture a little because there were some black spots that I guess i didn't realize were there before. so now it should look ok. I'll have a newer shot up later tonight with the hooves and stuff done.

Japhir

armour looks nice! keep experimenting with the fur!

Maddness

thanks Japhir. The fur is my next big step to work on, but I had to make a few changes to the skin, which I just finished, so here's an update.

Hey Maddness...cool texture work so far. I like the details in the armor and expect it to pop and look nice once you throw a spec map on there. While I'm digging the proportions of his top half, his bottom 4 legged half is a little suspect. Could you post a side view? It's hard to get a sense of the proportions with the angle of these screenshots. I know you are dealing strictly with the texture, but some basic proportion tweaks wouldn't be too difficult to have the modeler take care of if necessary.

Maddness

sorry, I've been super busy at work, so haven't had time to do much aside from spend time with the wife and sleep. so here's the side and front view for you.






though I have no idea if he even has time to fix this model if it is messed up, as he's super busy with his job and all now.

I myself, don't really have any control over the model, just the texture.


thanks
Mike
