Old GIR

Piflik

Did this little fella over the last two days (about 2h high, 1h low, 1h unwrap, 1h messing with projection and baking...did the textures today...about 2-3h...methinks)...he's gotten a bit old :poly121:







(1756 faces...could use some c&c...mainly on the textures, but the model is open for improvement, too)



I think I am going to rig him and put him into a little scene...

Why is his right eye busted? Also, why he is not cartoon shaded or something like that?

and why should it be

It's not busted! It's ADVANCED!!!

woogity

bigger band-aid on his chest please, for cartoon y characters you have to have cartoon sized details or it looks a little off.

Ghostscape

The "realistic" style texturing is really clashing with the cartoony look. Right now he doesn't really read like Gir. His proportions seem a bit off, too.

His antenna comes across as a joystick instead of antenna.

Gir's arms are like robotic tentacles with little hands at the end of them. There are ringed segments that allow his arms to extend, contract, and bend. See?



Where are they on your model?

Piflik

You're right with the antenna...needs to be fixed...the arms are segmented...not that visible on the image, but they are there...but I'll rework the Normal Map to make them more obvious...also the AO...

I think it would also help if you reworked them into your diffuse map as well.

Piflik

Yeah...thats what I meant with AO...

Anyway...updated the Antenna and the Textures...rigged him and made a little very simple walkcycle (I'm no animator...yet )...mainly to test the rig...quite happy with the legs, not so much with the arms...both rig and animation...also I might add some more segments to the arms...

I couldn't turn the hips, since I have only one Bone for the body resulting in the shoulders movin in sync with the hips, which looks off...might have to change that

I think you might have missed with the proportions a bit. The head isn't quite big enough compared to the body.

Piflik

Resized the head...updated my previous post.

Piflik

A new animation...or something similar... ;D
