Blizzard inspired marine

55joe

just starting the low res, hoping to get this textured and done in the near future~!


here is low cage


thanks for viewing

crazyfingers

Nice, dig the Asian flare to it, fitting considering how big this is in Korea.

Not really sure about those things on the back of the boots, they seem forced. Definitely be checkin' back on this thread!

PixelGoat

Lovely.

But the piston looking things at the back of his calfs need to either be developed further or removed.

55joe

thanks guys!
yeah they are totally rushed. i think ill be deleting them!

danshewan

Some really nice curves you've got happening there. Can we see the high-poly wires?

55joe

thanks danshewan, yes you can view the high-wire here

Joao Sapiro

clean yet strongly defined shapes. i dig !!!!

Hazardous

wicked man cant wait to see how this ends up!!!

Shiv

Awesome man, loving the shapes )

NyneDown

Sexy shit man....good job

acapulco

Nice! Also like the asian touch!

pliang

It's really nicely defined and shapely, what you can try with the pistons is that have them "integrated" into the boots like those engine hydraulics.

Sweet modeling.

55joe

thanks johny!
thanks hazardous!
thanks shiv!
thanks nynedown!
thanks acapulco!
thanks pliang...thats a good idea i will probably use
i did a quick unwrap and pass at burning the normals, been very busy lately and i know this needs alot of clean up but here is first pass

Christian Hjerpe

Nice modeling! First normal pass came out pretty nice.
Looking forward to see this marine textured!

FirstKeeper

Wow, great job.

DrunkShaman

awsome!!!!

Jesse Moody

I like this guy. He has sexy written all over him. Can't wait to see more.

55joe

thanks guys i really appreciate it! im going to clean up the normals and start textures tonight

roosterMAP

the starts look out of place. dont know why. amazing model tho!

JacqueChoi

looks farkin awesome!! keep goin with it!

Mark Dygert

Love it!

Not so sure about his mouth, it might be a bit wide?

Richard Kain

Oh wow! It looks like the normal map bake for this guy came out really clean. Keep up the good work, it's coming along splendidly.

Devin Busha

Very cool! I really like how you're adding your own spin to things.

adam

Have you thought about what the person in the suit's anatomy would be? If so, can we see that?

55joe

thanks roostermap, yeah i didnt like them much either, i have removed them in the LP
thanks JacqueChoi!
thanks Richard Kain!
thank you Devin Busha, yeah i wanted to design a marine suit different from the original but one that would look fine standing in the starcraft universe.
manchild, my crit for you is improve your tf2 skill jkjk (i am gkaine ^_^) one of my regrets while designing this suit was not paying more attention to the underliying anatomy while i designed it, i just wanted to have fun and was going for an over the top warhammer look while keeping it just barely not broke. so it may not be perfect in some areas but my excuse is its a tech skeleton holding him together from the neck down.

PolyHertz

Saw this over at ZBC earlier, and like it overall. But similar to what Adam said, I'm not sure how this would work anatomically.

edit: guess I should have refreshed the page before posting :-p

mikezoo

I dont need to repeat whats been said already, other than I am Looking forward to seeing him textured. :thumbup:

Joseph Silverman

This is awesome, dude.

The proportions work as is for a cartoony look -- for mega-stylized but belivable anatomy i think the only thing that needs a tweak is the angle of the arms (shoulderpads can stay as is) -- i did a little drawover to show what i'm thinking when i see it.

IronHawk

GOGOGO

kick ass man.

DrunkShaman

awsome work sir!!!! Keep it up.

EDIT: If you are putting a cigar in mouth, please explain where hez exhausting the smoke from? I have been looking for answer to this question for 10 years now. *blush*

it all makes sense now

Fantastic work so far looking forward to the texturing of this bad boy!

55joe

thanks polyhertz and mikezoo!

thanks supror and zacd for taking time to draw over this, i changed em to where you have them supror but i moved them back, they looked slightly more gimpy in that position

thank you ironhawk!

thanks Nitewalkr haha, i dont care where the smoke goes

thanks seforin!

so i put all the normal maps together and did some clean up i will do more clean up as i paint the diffuse but i am going to start on texturing next

dv8ix

LMFAO ITS BETTER THAN STARCRAFT MARINE !

dejawolf

looks great. nice detailing. samus arms.

Gallows

Such a clean model. Lately there's been a few great inspired models from other games. And this one is up there on the quality scale. Do you plan on reworking those pistons or putting anything in that open slow behind the calves?

sampson

with great texturing this will look ACEE

only problem for me is i dont really like the boots - looks like hes going to roll over

James Edwards

Scrap it. Start over.

crazyfingers

Head seems a bit small, it's a very large helmet area for such a tiny head, looks odd, and his lips bother me a bit, too wide. Here's some reference you might want to look at:


Lookin' forward to the texturing like everyone else!

Ged

looks really good! looking forward to the texturing!

55joe

lol thanks dv8ix but no way!
thanks dejawolf!
gallows i got rid of it hopefully no1 will know the rush job that those pistons were anymore
thanks sampson, i see what you mean, itll be an easy fix when i get back to them thanks
james edwards you are a god among ants, i aspire to be you
thanks crazyfingers, i proly wont play with the proportions anymore at this point but lesson learned for sure.
thanks ged
i started texturing him today! i am enjoying this take on a sc marine because anything + blackhawkdown is awesome imo.

Ryan Smith

This is so badass. I like the sectional pieces of camouflage mixed in with the single tone sections. I dont know if that's just because you havn't gotten to that point yet, but i think you should keep it in this form.

55joe

thanks Virtuosic ! yeah i am only making those areas camo, the other metal will be diff. but i am planning on leaving it simple/dark

Mrskullface

nice!

DrunkShaman

Awsome!!!

roosterMAP

i dont like the texture at all.

In a perfectly fair world, which this one obviously isn't, saying "I don't like something" should be as justifed as saying "Love it!" or "Awesome!". :)

Seeing a camo' marine does fight a little against Blizzard's cartoony style, but it does seem to make sense to have a suit that blends in with its surroundings. The bake came out great, so changing the style of the suit won't be hard (if necessary). I'm liking this direction though.

Where's his rifle?!

Thegodzero

I think a pixle camo pattern might make a little more sense but eitherway I'm liking it!

55joe

thanks mrskullface and nitwalkr!
thanks adam!
hopefuly itll get better rooster ;x!~ its just blockout color and rush spec atm
thanks clycloverid ! i havent done the rifle yet ! i am lazy, i know im gona have to eventaully
i tried the pixel camo, i just ended up liking this better from my tests. i actually have it on a layer. maybe ill post after but proly not thanks tho!

Mik2121

Yeah. I'd try some other camouflage pattern, like this:

http://camo.henrikc.dk/poland_urban_flecktarn_pattern.jpg (Urban camouflage pattern)

http://image.made-in-china.com/2f0j00UMqaCveEbGcw/Digital-Camo-Print-XHMP8901-.jpg (Digital camouflage pattern)

Or something else like that. Or maybe even leave it as some sort of white 'plastic' like material, like the character from the new PlatinumGames game, Vaquish.

In my opinion, the current camouflage makes him look like your average marine, nothing really interesting at all. Other than that, it looks great! (the model itself)
