Fiend/Demon from Quake
polycounter lvl 18
hought I'd pimp my latest model/texture. I remade the fiend/demon from quake 1, mainly as a mudbox exercise, pretty happy how it turned out. The skin detail was a photoshop/nvtool normal based off the texture overlayed. No moneyshot yet just max lit.
I'll attempt to animate it and export to md3 at some stage so I can stick it in the darkplaces quake engine.

good work, I think the sculpt and concept could have been pushed further

Cheers man, yeah I kept it kinda simple since my first attempt on a mudbox model went bad. I was kinda just using it to get a good work flow going and to see what problems pop up.
for the highpoly: try to sharpen some parts up.. so you can loose this melted look a bit(mainly the parts, where different, muscles are meeting or the parts where something goes into the body like the "finger")
for the spec map: if you define the structure of the skin more in the spec map, it gives you a lot more depth, and a nice looking effect
nice ! keep going
dont make orto-view-renders.. they always look odd..

yeah I got lazy and just used the user view to render out some images, even forgot to change it to perspective view. Yeah the muscle's are pretty screwed, I was really just poking pushing things at random. I'm not happy with the spec map either that's one thing I'll definitely fix up.

Could paint some shadows around the eyes but anyways...looks good, its been years since I played the first one.

yeah quakes still fun to break out now and then, you should try darkplaces if you still have the pak files

I think you need a stronger light source on your beauty render. It looks good but a bit too dark on my screen. The eyes and the teeth look especially nice.

thanks, yeah like i said its just a view port render with no lights, besides 3ds max's default set up. I'm playing round rigging the model now, and will probably pose and light for a proper moneyshot.
