Ghost V6

Hey fellas, I hope this sixth re-design is better than the last, no more sculpting, just modeling -plain and simple inside blender. I've watched a heap of tutorials and for this model I used MakeHuman to create a mannequin of the desired muscular build of the model before hard surface modeling over it. If you guys have any crits of comments or references that may be useful, I'd be happy to see them.

the hips are awkward and he has no butt. its getting much better though

Cheers mate, here's the progress from earlier on main the chest, I'll get working on the legs.
BTW this is the high poly model that's going to be retopologised.

Alec3d

More work on the chest, added hands, still working on the dam legs, thinking of re-doing them.

renderhjs

her feet are pointing inwards, thats common for Japanese woman but any other human usually has them slightly pointed outwards.

Also is this a male or female body? because some parts look more feminine and other more masculine.

Alec3d

It's male, I think the dam legs are just strange at the moment, I'm probably going to end up re-doing them or at least having a fair over-haul of the current shape.

Alec3d

High poly almost complete, somewhere around 20k quads.

Muzzoid

Im impressed at how fast you are improving .

Anatomy is still off but ill let you get on with it seeing as you arer learning so fast .

I think you need to shorten the mid area a bit. The chest is too thick in the profile view. I love the padded armor but the design around the crouch could use some work in my opinion.

Alec3d

Thanks a lot man, I did a low poly version and UV'd it, took me a fair bit (dam hands are a pain to UV)
So, weighing in at 1560 tris is the low poly with the normal map!

Some wires :

Excuse the giant ass and dis-proportion in the last image, I just fixed that,

slipsius

Normal mapping already? dont get ahead of yourself. I agree with the others. definite improvement from you! great to see! but dont rush it. Take your time, make the high poly perfect before you go and start baking it into the low poly

eld

you can't mirror normalmaps in blender, its a missing feature, the mirrored uv will have an inverted direction depending on layout.

Alec3d

The normal maps are applied in Unity 3d engine, I just duped half the mesh with the uvs and removed doubles, then I imported to unity. Looks pretty good so far.
I'm quite happy with the high poly but if you have any suggestions I'd like to hear them. I think I'm going to re-do the low poly because I'd like to get a better silhouette from it, plus the UV mapping wasn't the greatest.

d00kie

sample the delight of this flavor.
If you fix your proportions you should be sitting somewhat pretty, methinks.
Tend to that low poly topology as well, there was a recent thread that had alot of topo reference in it, but unfortunately I'm too lazy to look. it's here somewhere though!

Alec3d

Cheers mate.

Taylor Hood

Nice improvment. I like how you've improved but didn't you rush ahead on your last project?

Alec3d

mmm, I still gotta control my eagerness. I just really want to get this dam character I've been concepting outta my head, whatever it takes, and it's been a great learning experience so far. I'd also like to thank fellow polycounters who assisted me in my learning.

Alec3d

Been working on and off on the high poly - here are the test renders of the progress!
