Hugo SFIII

ironbearxl

I was inspired to make a 3d version of Hugo from Street Fighter III today after watching some youtube videos. I'll be making him the old school way; target is wii specs.

Here where he is so far:

Still very rough but I plan to make him fully animated (hair, face, chain, clothes, etc.), and test out some brdf shader on him.

JohnnySix

Nice clean lines, though he seems a little bottom heavy for the character.

In the drawing his legs are quite small/stumpy in relation to his torso, which is pretty huge, with a large head too.

Asmuel

Smaller shoes, thicker torso, slightly shorter limbs. Also posing him more like in Johnny Six's photo wont hurt.

Acord

Good luck on that curly hair! Whew!

ironbearxl

Thanks JohnnySix + Asmuel, I will adjust his proportions acordingly.

Acord, his hair will be the piece de resistance!

OK, fixed the proportions, I'm going around the mesh now and smoothing out areas. Just have the hands, wrist/ankle cuffs, hair, and chain left to block out and finish.

Spent some more time turning edges and smoothing areas. The mesh is mostly done, just have to complete the chain, model the hair and mouth interior.

Thanks Per, I'll have to bust out the musclebooks for reference.

ironbearxl

Played with the proportions some more, and blocked in the hair and inside of the mouth.

This little wip has been very satisfying, gonna pop in some teeth and tongue for some cartoony expressions next.

Here is the final hair mesh in all it's glory (still have some cleanup underneath for when it's flowing about:

Hope to unwrap tonight and start on baking/texturing.

I think you can work more on face and hair.
Actully, It's not exactly the same character as the one on the pic you posted from sf3.

good luck

ironbearxl

Thanks funshark, i'll try to match the concepts better.

Finished unwrapping and baking and started to texture a little bit:

hey man, this is really cool- i think you're 90% there, I'd make a few small tweaks based on the ref on google images, i did a quick liquify for what I would tweak:

(sorry the liquify messed up a few features, but you get the idea-see what you think ). keep it up!

ironbearxl

I see what you mean rooster, that really helps!

ironbearxl

Made some adjustments following your paintover rooster:

Laying down some color with blender's 3d paint tool:

shotgun

here are some color ideas.
for some reason your darkest purples were inconsistent in saturation. they were more saturated then your midtones, and less saturated then the highlight. so i felt either mids need more sat - or darks less sat -- i went with the latter. as the darks generally also get more blue moving away from light, i pushed the darkest tones purely blueer as they got closer to the light.

EDIT: in photoshop, maybe an easier way to handle these parameters is setting the color sliders to HSB rather than RGB, as well as 'Current colors' rather than Spectrum.

looks really nice so far. reminds me of the that awesome q3 biker skin.. the pervert... whatshecalled...

ironbearxl

That's a big help shotgun, i'll mix in those colors.

rasmus

An awesome character in his own right - will be great to see how this shapes up. Love the fact that your painting so far resembles the sprite so much, keep that up!

vahl

great start on the texturing, also, Shotgun, great paintover and explanation, as usual
