Cloud (Reworked)

fuxer

Hey guys,i decided to give it some love,so i redid some diffuse and all the spec maps,also fixed the lighting.Lets hope i did not ruin the model this time ehehe
Full size render here!

fuxer

btw here's the older version

HonkyPunch

Nice, i always did picture him as a crack fiend

bounchfx

bad ass...except what is with the sword? is there kind of a glass thing over it?

it looks like you painted something on a layer above the blood and overlayed it... that's the only real complaint i have.

oobersli

just noticed this, might want to hide it or fix it .

Ape.of.Gods

The face still doesn't feel right, but looks like an improvement

kinikuR6

Hands seem a bit too small, but overall I see the improvement.

fuxer

lol how did that seam get there i missed that one but tonight im fixing up his hands and that seam.tnx for pointing :P

sama.van

I did a little modification on the face. This my favorite version of cloud.
For hide layer yourself you can download psd there :

And usualy, I think squareEnix use a lot of soft colors, and there is rarely yellow highlight on characters.

Joseph Silverman

New spec maps are cool, this is pretty much exactly what I was suggesing with the crits I gave you last time.

Stronger contrast between the clean metal and the blood, though!

_Eclipse_

very nice, how many triangles?

Eclipse

Very nice upgrade, though I do have to agree with sama.van's paintover. Also, would be nice to see the legs a little longer, close to the original character. But as a fresh take on him in the fuxer style, it looks really impressive man, nice stuff.

fuxer

sama.van that looks like a bit harder to do,but i'll try thanks
eclipse do i have a style now? thanks.
_eclipse_ It has 8731 tris byt should get lower once i remove some hair and place them better like sama's paintover

artstream

His feet look kind of weird...as if the boot is bigger than his leg and is slouching. Pretty cool idea though. Something I really like is the face redux---Cloud doesn't look super soft anymore, he looks like he's angry/been through some stuff.

Joao Sapiro

i would leave the hair as you made it because imo looks more original, but yet not quite like cloud, try to make the face like cloud and leave the hair dunno , keep rockin !

Mark Dygert

looks great!
Now make something new...

fuxer

ahaha vig :P
a BIG update here,after this i think i'll let cloud rest a bit,he's been touched alot lately lol.

_Eclipse_

eyes are still strange... btw nice model and great updates!
very well done and well textured too

BassAckwards

looking pretty good man...but to me the left ankle looks broken

fuxer

lol broken? why does it look broken?
tnx eclipse,they are a bit far away from each other,im fixing em now

Mtg_kirin

ya left ankle looks odd. But great model. polycount?

Joao Sapiro

the head is a bit weird now, like if it is a different asset and was put in there. there is almost no shape information on the new version, did you try make a bake of ambient oclusion and give it a slightly warm color ?

fuxer

no no,i slightly lowered the specs,also cleaned up a bit the diffuse map giving it less pore detail and also i touched up the lighting.doesnt looks wierd to me though

bugo

hey fuxer, much better, but you can give it more on the hair and eyes... its shaping up!

fuxer

tnx bugo
here's maybe the last update.i think i'll call this done and move onto smth new.
Do you guys think it is worth it?

Joao Sapiro

the skin tone on his face doesnt match the one in the arms, also the eyes seem too feline like , give some shadowing ontop of it and also some color to the lips and you are all set ! solid work man !

Maddness

what prog is this screengrab from? that's a nice in engine look. though i guess it could be from UT3... which would answer why
