What is she for game or cinematic? Can we see a wire frame and a poly count?
Also whats the purpose of her attire, suit, hardware?
I like the design of the suit but it feels unfinished to me just because she has nothing substantial covering her thighs, pelvis or butt. I understand the whole sex appeal thing its just a little played out. Just my opinion. Keep up the good work.
I'll be checking back to see how your low poly comes out.
wilex: yeah the armor is very unfinished thus wip, as for the sex appeal thing, if i make the suit baggy, man thats gonna look awkward with the whole VG sci fi genre. i will add more to the armor tho but i want the sexiness to show at the same time. its just my style.
By all means stick with the style you have it looks good. Just don't leave her in a bikini bottom at least not a cloth one.
Now that i can see it the face looks like it needs some adjustments. From what i can see it feels like you need to make the lower eye lid a little more prominent it feels almoast non existent at the moment. Also where the nose meets the forehead it doesn't feel like it dips in at all it feels flat. Its hard to tell without a direct profile view though.
Keep up the good work.
that ear looks funky, eww
helm renders
Well hopefully you can get some more crits and get that head looking sweet. Faces seem like the hardest thing to get right in 3D well in my opinion. Just keep plugging away hard work always pays off.
and also the thighs
im not entirely finished with the thighs...
next up maybe the belt and some acessories with it
Is there going to be tubes coming off the pipes from the side of the helmet?
Oh and I Love the amount of detail your going into on the helmet, I think my only complaints would be the bulkiness of the very bottom of the helmet doesn't match the slim and sleekness of the rest of the design, I think it just comes too far out from her neck. And the other one is the way her boobs are shaped in the suit design, kind of makes her look less sexy because they almost look as though they may be smushed in there, I think if they were rounder it may be more sexy.
Great so far though, I can't wait to see this textured.
more updates on the helmet and leg, maybe now off to the gloves then the lo poly
ps, uploading pics all the time is a chore!
It seems like you linked us the same full body image from your last post that or you overwrote the older one because I don't see any changes.
The fine details on the helm look good. The armor on the thighs looks nice as well. Keep up the good work its coming along nicely. Im looking forward to see how much detail youre able to capture in your normal maps.
I've never done any high poly work so Im a little curious as to your work flow and how you get all your details so precise.
make sure you use smothing groups effectively, so that when you use turbosmooth or meshsmooth and turn on the separate by smoothing groups, it'll look like it has hard edges. otherwise its gonna look bubbly. you can also control how much crease an edge can have by controlling it manually.
as for finer details, i detach/clone a patch of the surface as an element and add fine details on just that one area.
theres no point in increasing the over mesh's poly count when you only need just a few. but be careful to NOT move the cloned surface cuz it might cause weird artifacts on the normal map when baked.
Eye lashes are indeed a bit large, try maby doing the lashes on seperate poly's, give's it some deph to! Are the ear covers supposed to rotate with the visor or just staying in place?
cheerz
btw you were inspired by Dead-Space weren't you? i say that because of the armor segments which don't overlap which doesn't make much practical sense to me although it may look cool.

and yes to the eyes, i fixed them
heres a quick look without the lashes
i beat her up...err...i mean she fell down the stairs again....
Maybe try some alternate colors, blue, red, goldish yellow an all black grey metal is over used imho but it's your lovely model have fun!
I do have a bit of a silly question though...
I'm guessing the armor pieces are seperate elements from the body mesh, but how do you quickly and effectively uv map high poly models?
It's easy enough for low poly since they're so much more basic but I've always been curious just how one goes about mapping a 100,000+ model efficiently?
I've used UV Paint, but if u packed a high detail model it just seems like you'd end up with 50 billion surfaces who's origins you have no clue of.
Beautiful work man!
well my workflow is that i block out a shape and before i get into more detail, i would unwrap them while its still basic. then whenever i add more detail, i unwrap them as i make them. also using the pelt unwrap sometimes helps me visualize what the general shape of the unwrap will be, break it apart then put it back together in a way that optimizes space. when im done unwrapping then i use the meshsmooth, pick out which edges are hard and render a UV template ready to be textured.
someone that i work with actually mentioned that. its kinda wierd when you work TOO closely with your work, that you tend to over look details like that. that why i ask for feedback from other people in order for me to see what im not seeing. Thanks!
a more realistic black eye and less dirty
time to move on to the arms
i might need some decals or something
and the back
more details on the face too, it needs to match the level of detail you already have on the body.
Keep it up dude.
more contrast between metal and everything else
i need to dirty it up a bit
