WIP codename Dake(first nextgen char.. crits wlcm)
polycounter lvl 17
Hi,
I' m finally making a next gen character for my portfolio, and as it's my first time I decided to open a wip thread.. It may be usefull to receive some crits and advices :P
So I'll try to make a cool guy with a big sword :P
A bit like Dante, but with more futuristic clothes..
sorry no character yet, but here is the sword of the guy ..
I finished the highpoly, it's now ready to go to Zbrush I think..
I also finished the lowpoly around 670 tris.. do you think it's a good amount for some nextgen gear?

All I really see is a sword with a fairly useless trigger, unless it makes little pretty lights.
about the trigger, as I usually don't do something without a reason.. the trigger got a function..
To make things simple, the grey part you can see on the high poly is a kind of electric battery you can plug in the sword.. (and because batteries are usually pretty heavy, that's why above it there is a big hole in the blade to make it a bit lighter)
the blue circle could be an indicator of the charge of the battery, and the trigger is to release a lightning bolt through the blade.. making the sword like a stun gun...
so yeah Jimmies , you're kinda right.. it makes some little pretty lights too..
here is a quick photoshop concept to show you where I'm aiming..
almighty_gir .. well it's just a basemesh.. it's not my final model..
sorry marshall , I don't get the joke (?) ..
starting the arms..
Looks good so far
