Frog - Chrono Trigger (First Character Model)

Heartless

Been lurkin' a while. Seems like a pretty nice community with a lot of talent. I just finished my first completed character model so I figured might as well sign-up and show y'all in hopes of gettin' some good critiques. I tried to do this model at original Playstation specs but I'm sure I went a bit over on the polys.

Well here it is. Frog from Chrono Trigger (If you don't know him, I don't want to know you.)



Turntable (320x240 render at 2x size to sorta simulate how it'd look on PSX)

Sorry if this makes me a dick, but I'm gonna bump this as it took a bit to get my first post verified and this was way back at the 5th page.

The Sword could have been made with much less texture space.

I feel that the Frog is al right though hands could be a bit bigger?

looks pretty good to me, proportions seem about right going by the original sprite

bounchfx

looks pretty cool man, throw a rig on him and do a couple poses!

Looks awesome! gotta love Glenn I also agree with bounchfx, would be awesome to see how he works in a pose.

Thanks, everyone. I was honestly expecting to get ripped a new one.

Cap: You're probably right. I tried to do the best at utilizing texture space without focusing too much on it. I was lookin' at a website called textures-resource, or something similar, that has some PSX texture rips and weapons from Final Fantasy VIII were 128x32 so I just went with that.

I'll hopefully be able to get him in a nice pose with his sword soon. I haven't taught myself how to rig a character yet but I don't think it'll be terribly difficult.

enjoying all the chrono trigger love lately. between this, Robbyh making a enviroment from the game, and my revamping of Frog. haha. cool model though, can't wait to see him posed

Heartless

Thanks, man.

When I decided to do a character model, Chrono Trigger just seemed like a no-brainer. One of my favorites of all time and since the characters really only exist as 2D sprites and a few concept pieces, I figured it'd be better to learn from, not being able to use any other pre-existing 3D model of the characters to cheat off of and such.

Your reimagining of Frog is insane. Good work.

Great stuff mate ! This looks nice ! Why not do a highres version !
The only crit wold be the swords texture space also as someone already mentioned !! otherwise its verry clean !
ive seen some crawling around on Deviantart and other random forums ! wold like to see one here !

Edit : like this one !

Heartless

Thanks!

I'm working on low poly and lower res stuff right now as I'm still a total n00b and it's the best way to learn.

Heartless

Pulled and all-nighter and learned to rig. The rig turned out pretty good, I got everything to deform reasonably well, this render didn't turn out very pretty but I'm ready to move on.

On to my next character, Ed from Cowboy Bebop.

Thanks everyone for the support.

why dont you animate it ! traditional animation is a load of fun !
