LPC: Time 2 Die - Rick

Rick Stirling

Decemeber will be a busy time, so I'll likely not finish, but who knows?

Taking a twist on it, I'm ditching any contempory time setting and think I've narrowed it down to:

Trouble at Mill: Victorian lady, gentleman and circus strongman vs working class zombies

Cowboyz vs Injuns: 2 or 3 apache warriors and a band of zombie cowboys.

Wahlgren

Out of those two i´d say. Trouble at mill sounds sweeeet.

Spinks

yeah i like it too. The cross beam has gone out of skew on the treadle!

Rick Stirling

After my hangover subsided, I started laying out some polygons

greenj2

Haha, sweet Rick. Nice start!

Adam Curtis

I like that you are taking it a different direction.

Loving the character

Emil Mujanovic

Sweet as, Rick! Great shape in that model.

Rick Stirling

Cheers folks! His name is probably going to be Mr Wentworth, or perhaps Mr Dickens. He should hopefully be joined by the lovely Sophie and Bill Tanner.

He's at about 700 polygons at the minute, so I'll model in a mouth opening for some expression stuff.

Snipergen

This honestly looks awesome Rick. Can't wait for the texture!

LampRabbit

Looks cool, maybe put somemore polys in the hands.

Rick Stirling

808 polygons, UV mapped and rigged.

Slum

coolness. Gunslinging zombie hunter? Sounds cool to me.

ae.

awesome great job!

Rick Stirling

Cheers folks.

He could very eaasily be a gunslinger, but at the minute he's Mr Grimsdale, owner of t'mill.

Bill Tanner should be next. "Come quick My Grimsdale, there be trouble at mill!"

"Not those ruddy Luddites again."

"Beggin yer pardon sir, I don't reckon it's Neds lot. And Miss Sophie be at mill."

"Blast! Where's me old revolver? Right Bill, you come with me..."

jeremy price

nice profile Rick, looks good... reminds me of bill the butcher

Rick Stirling

Ta!

Started working up Bill:

MoP

hehe, cool stuff, i like their proportions, although i dunno if it's worth doing the hands like that, maybe a fist would be better?

Rick Stirling

Cheers Mop.

The first might work in some situations, but because of the weapons I want to be able to pose the hands.

I did a wee bit more on him last night and laid out most of his UVs. I think he weighs in at about 750 polygons, and I'm sure his sledgehammer is about 60.

Rick Stirling

Started roughing out some textures - 128x128 is TINY.





Fucking hell, those are failry low rise denims he's sporting. I better left those a few inches.

Rick Stirling

Thomas was a good man

butt_sahib

haha
Everything looks pretty awesome.
Though i have no idea what his jeans are so spacious in the waist area? planning for suspenders?
i have no idea how im going to make something on a 128 too XD

also,
eww 3 fingers!? :P

Rick Stirling

Yup, I was planning for suspenders, but that might not happen now (I wasn't getting good results, but it might just be a UV thing).

3 fingers? Nope, he's got 5. UV reuse!

butt_sahib

oh man that is some clever thinking....
the suspenders would probably be worth the deadache i'd reckon.

Cheers folks.

The following week is pretty busy, and I'm away all next weekend, so there'll not be much more progress though I'd like to texture up Mr Wentworth/Pickworth/Whatever.

Teriyaki - There is filtering going on, it's whatever Silo is doing to it. I'll try to get him rigged and get some max grabs.

MoP

Looks pretty good Rick - I reckon the weakest part at the moment is the texture... it's very "liney" ... there's not much general large highlight/shadow areas to define volume. As a result everything looks fairly flat, for example his shirt seems to have no folds or form at all.
You could also get some nice highlights on his britches as they go over the shoulder, would break up the materials nicely IMHO.

Rick Stirling

Gah, of course you are right. I've spent so long trying to NOT paint large shading into models.

I'll fix this.
