W.I.P. LPC Leonidas

vertexguy · Mar 2008

This is my first post here. I've been watching the Low Poly posts for a while and they inspired me to give it a shot. This is a ruff pass on what will eventually become King Leonidas from the movie 300. My goal rules are pretty much the same as the LPC:

500 tri's or less
150 tri's extra for props
1 128x128 map for the main character
1 64x64 for props

I plan on periodically updating this post with progress updates. Critiques are welcome!

Here's an updated mesh and wire preview. Made some anatomy tweaks and lowered the polycount to under 500.

Nice form so far. The torso looks pretty long from the front, though. I'd suggest moving the crotch up, and possibly the ass slightly.

Good start, I think that the section starting from the knees and ending at the groin needs to move up slightly, also from the side view, baring in mind how strong he is his upper torso needs more width imo. Looking forward to seeing this develop.

Wanted to post a quick update... more mesh tweaks and props. I'm over my original budget on props, but he has a lot of them, so I might just say screw it and stay over budget. Still need to make a shield that will probably be alpha based for the main shape.

I reckon you could probably take out a fair few polys from his back ans his head, considering the helmet and cape. Maybe you already have, hard to tell.
That is unless you plan for him to take those items off at some point.

I just realized it's been forever since I posted an update on this....he got pushed to the wayside and forgotten about. I dusted him off and am about 80% done with him now. Crits welcome.

nice hehe you should pose him

The shoulders look very awkward in that pose. You have good definition to the abdomen, (nipples are a bit out of place however) but not so much on the thighs.

Yeah...something is definitely still off with his arms / shoulders. Not sure what though... maybe his shoulders are a bit too bulky compared to the forearms. Right now he looks pretty stiff to me, but that might just be the pose.

In regards to the poly usage, I decided from the beginning that I wanted his helmet removable, otherwise I'd save a lot more polys there. I also want some movement ability in his cape.

Thanks for the comments so far...keep em comin!
