DWIV - 3D - GED
interpolator
Just an idea, the small black thumnail isnt the same character it was just the starting point to get to this idea - the bigger dude in gray. Not sure if its a cyborg or a norm I think its has to be cyborg.

I like where its going.
Perhaps try to find some different masses. The large shoulders, large forearms and shins is perhaps the most overdone mass types for characters.
heres some alchemy doodles
then I want the boots from the cyber girl on the top row far rights on him and I need to figure out what to do with the forearms...hmmm
I know Im slow at uvmapping and rigging/posing so I want to get the concepting completely out of the way in these first 2 weeks cause I was in a terrible rush the last year.
My new computer arrived last night but I didnt order a cpu fan and thermal paste DOh!
Polycount is disconnecting me alot lately, is it just me or is this site having issues!?
I would still like to know which one out of those 3 shoulder variations people like?
your latest designs look cool to but they remind me a lot of your entry from last domwar, not that it's a bad thing but something completely different would be cool too
last year was skinny and non armoured with a human/protoss style face and blades inside his arms
this year is big and beastly fully armoured with robot bits and a wierd sword thing(which might be replaced)
Ive also got ideas for this characters weapons that I havent sketched yet
I think what Raven is saying is maybe mix it up by changing the proportions a bit? Maybe this guy could be a LOT bulkier to differentiate?
I want to redesign the breastplate too - its a bit too flat and boring
I want him to have the proportions and flow of the 3rd dude on my thumbsketches
indeed that's what i ment to say
anyway the style is looking very good already so keep it up
Kamui"Get some neat mixes between machine and flesh! I like the 4 eyes, but I really think you should revisit the weapons. Go bigger!"
Thanks guys, this is definitely what Im thinking too - gonna see if I can really push this design
Ive got a new idea for the chest piece already and Im gonna shrink his head down and push the proportions of the body so that he has more girth(is that the word?). Im thinking hes a big slippery muscly alien cyber dude that hunts down his enemys down like a rugby player looking for a tackle.
-Woog
Got loads of redesigning armour to do on this guy.
Thanks for all your help during this creative process guys
heres where Im at with the character, I still want to design him a kick ass weapon or sumthin
thanks Kamui, yeah it does have lan but it doesnt have wireless lan and we dont have any lan cables long enough to go all the way downstairs to the router :P so Ive ordered a network card and 4 more gigs of ram, should get it all working on monday
Hey your guy is coming along well!
Ah wireless, that makes sense
liked the initial sketch, maybe it's just then angle but i think a bigegr mane could be cool
Im currently trying 3Dcoat voxel sculpting quadrangulation to make a basemesh with nice flowing shapes then I will move on to sculpting when the base is done.
Still having difficulties with vista64 and my 3d drivers
to add to that 3dcoat is making wierd artifacts that just get worse every time I hit undo - so I will probably have to wait for the next alpha release of that before I can work on it any further on that idea.
who said he doesnt still have swords?
"nvlddmkm stopped responding and has recovered"
it happens after about 20mins of play in far cry 2 and just generally randomly pops up to annoy me while using any app at all.
I am sooo pissed off right now Ive spent £650 on the parts, a week of building my pc and waiting for parts, then installing software for a weekend and now 2 late nights trying to get this to work and Im still totally screwed!
this 8800GT ran fine in my other computer with winxp even played through crysis on medium but vista just keeps on managing to crash the card. WTF!!!!!!!!
crap its late and I have to go to bed...work in the morning
So I started learning silo cause Im thinking of buying it.
heres the start of a possible basemesh for my dude - I like to keep the base simple
looking pretty sweet so far. love the color scheme
So now Im stuck all of the next 4 days, which would have been perfect time to work on DWIV, with a broken pc that cant even run silo for more than 10 mins without crashing.
This may or may not be of any help to you but I was having the exact same problem prior to the Dominance War. I was trying to get some upgrades for my PC up and running (including a switch to vista 64) and was constantly getting that blasted error in 3d applications. I tried a ton of different things and ultimately what resolved the problem ( well, sort of ) was removing the 8 gigs of ram I had bought and replacing it with my older 4 gigs of ram. The problem instantly went away and has yet to return.
It sucks because I have 8 gigs of ram sitting on my desk that I'm not using, and I haven't really had the time to troubleshoot it any further. But, depending on how much ram you have in your machine, maybe you could try reducing it, or if you have any other ram, try switching it out.
It seriously is one of the most frustrating errors I've ever encountered - I hope you resolve it soon
so Ive gotten to work on this guy so far most of the lower legs are done and the rest is still just blocked in forms. Im gonna take it all into mudbox when Im done with all the mechanical stuff
does anyone know why silo sometimes shoots one point/vertex in your model off towards x=0 when you edit an object???
