For sure. Killer mesh.

I was looking at the origional Half-life specs and discovered that every model in this challenge has one third of the polys used in halflife. Pretty amazing considering how much better all these models look.

Now your texture needs to beat Mop's offerings

MoP

Mesh looks great, you managed to get the thumbs and mouth in too, I must be doing something wrong with mine!

Good start on the texture, looking forward to seeing this finished

StefanH

hehe thx guys, more work on the texture. going slow.
right now using a 256x256

Nice, but i think it looks very dirty, try to put more color in your shadeing.

StefanH

i decided for desaturated skin to make the blood really pop. think thats working good.
texture needs to be cleaned up and needs some more shading and contrast in shading. I think that will make the features more clear

StefanH

update!

removed

StefanH

ok think i overdid it a bit... here's another update
i hope you like it.

TheSplash

Great work. Love the amount of detail you've been able to get on him.

StefanH

thx splash, glad you like it.

upped ambient occlusion a bit so the shape is better defined at small size. I'm pretty happy with it now ... 'bout time

Xaltar

Awesome work. I think it could use a bit more lighter grey in places, at the moment it lacks highlights in some of the muscle forms. Still looks sweet though.

rooster

yeah a touch of the ol' doom 3 specular would go a long way, but great work

hobodactyl

Awesome work, but like they say, just add some strong speculars and it will be top-notch!

StefanH

allllright. thx for all the feedback. I pimped him a bit
never spent so much time on a 128, but learnt bodypaint in the process so it was all worth it.

Nicely done, I like the muscle shapes and sharp highlights
