willy-wilson

heres a ninja makkon drew, i just started modeling it, will post it when im done. Just before i started i did this in photoshop, has anyone ever done this before, is it a good idea? BTW Please suggest any changes to it i could make to make it better or more optimized.

Nice, looks like you go the form down. I can't tell what's going on with the feet but from here it looks like they're too peg-like at the moment. Also, think about how you want to handle his outfit. Right now, the bottom edge of the flat of his chest is a bit above where you'll want that cloth bit to end. You might want to just drop that edge down so the cloth can just be textured straight across the flat.

Anyways, look forward to seeing more on this! I was just in Makkon's sketchbook so when I came over to P&P, I obviously had to click on this.

reworked some of the shapes a bit as well as doing the sword and making the suggested changes to topology.

Damn, I can't give much of a critique other than the shape looks spot on. Very cool workflow, I may steal it and credit you later sir! The sword does look a bit stout however that could just be the angle from the front view. Keep it up

Still working on this, think im going to bed for the night though.

Makkon

Awesome, man! I'm flattered!
You got the proportions down pat, and you totally got the feel him. I guess to explain the feet, they're pointing forward in the concept, so they look a little strange. But they are supposed to extrude to the front a little, making a small triangular shape. He has a split in his shoes between the big toe and the other toes.

Can't wait to see how this turns out, keep at it, bro! Don't forget to make his headband wider

feet are a bit deviving from that angle. will work on it more when i get home from work though.

i dont know it seems that a lower poly ninja is more deadly :0

Makkon

Ah, gotcha, Those feet work just fine.
You should release an SDK of this

Aaaaah. Now i understand. It's a ninja that Makkon drew a concept of. I was googling and googling what this "Makkon technique" was. I imagined it be like a pepakura/Papercraft kind of thing, because it was such a lowpoly model
Now I'm just waiting for finish touches and uvmaps and textures to be posted.
I'm totally digging the lowlowpoly stuff on the forums lately. Kinda shifting away

Looks really cool! I am really trying to enhance my character modelling skills at the moment (I'm pretty terrible), and I keep just focusing on trying to make awesome high poly zbrushed characters etc. But after seing this and the other things in the lowpoly thread it's persuaded me to try and make one
