Street Fighter, YUN older redesign

bugo · Dec 2007

hello.
Im starting Yun character from Street Fighter 3, but in a realistic style. One change tho, i didnt make him chinese like, because all concepts i found from him doesnt have a chinese eye, so i decided to not make him chinese. Head is already done, im going to the body

Steve Schulze · Dec 2007

Its strange that no one ever seems to make the Asian Street Fighter characters look particularly Asian.

Heres an Udon version of him where he does actually look appropiately oriental, if only for interest sake.

Anyway, your version is looking rather nice though the wording on his cap is back to front. Are you going to keep his distinctly Chinese costume as it was?

BlackThief · Dec 2007

the neck is extremely long and the nasal fold looks odd from the side view. otherwise good start!

BoBo_the_seal · Dec 2007

Looks great. Very fun take on the character.

bounchfx · Dec 2007

I like it, however it looks like he is 20 years older!

looking forward to seeing the body

indian_boy · Dec 2007

its one thing to make him non-chinese... its completely different to make him american... i really love it, but at least show some oriental-ness?
just my thought..

real awesome though!
there should be a street fighter with THESE graphics mwaha!

Why is it when a series of whatever is made into anime its perfectly fine but when a westerner intends to make an asian piece western - is it questioned? If this were done by an asian person I think it would be okay again.

Just a note; I don't think its the texture of what I'm seeing.. the centre line on the yellow of the cap - the vertices don't look joined..

indian_boy · Dec 2007

no im just sayin... okay no..
this is supposed to be a _realistic_ Yun... not a realistic american fighter... so YUN is oriental, not occidental... see? so technically, its not realistic already... ha!
and im not complaining... jus suggesting.. rather asking, why not keep him oriental?

ive got no problem with eastern things being westernised.. if anything, id prefer it... its the only way the eastern cultures tend to get any exposure [eg im sure if it wasnt for shogun total war, some ppl in this world would still be clueless about sengoku]

bugo · Dec 2007

Thanks for the comments.

I have follow this concept for the head, hat is a little bit different tho, but its more like trying to catch the silhouete and making a realistic guy, not that i want exactly like Yun, but i will try to follow the costumes closely.

Jackablade: Hey, thanks for the comments, yes, i will follow the costumes. Thanks for that draw, i didnt see this one.

thnom: yeah, i forgot to kill that seams, the edges are welded, its just showing UV seams there, all hat is mirrorred.

indian_boy: Heh, yeah, well, I know you are right about that, but heh, it will take a time to make a different eye now tho, there is no certain decision i made about making him oriental or not, i just tried to follow more this image above.

looks great dude. A bit older, just brilliant. In a semi related note it reminded me of the street fighter later years (but only if they stayed in shape

)

for those who dont know what im talking about

bugo · Dec 2007

Haha, yeah, i saw this video, really cool idea.
Thanks for the comments buddy.

Btw, happy new year to you all.

fuxer · Dec 2007

hey bugo,great looking character,would you mind posting the spec map?im researching

Happy new year to you too :P

ThatDon · Dec 2007

He has very dirty ears!

bugo · Dec 2007

Fuxer: Hey man, ofcourse, if you enter my site you can see the textures there at the front page, remember, specs are really darken because Maya works this way, just think on it a bit brighter.

ThatDon: Yeah buddy, you are right, I think its because I have bake the occlusion map and then it turned dark, i will fix that, thanks!

levin · Dec 2007

if you want him to look more asian, ditch the deep set eyes and go for more fat around it -- epicanthal folds!!. also less stronger nose, and a bit wider. asians have black eyes and hair too. ;-)

fuxer · Dec 2007

bugo thanks man:D thats really helpful

SubPablo · Dec 2007

I'm really hoping you push this towards asian because nothing about this makes me think of Yun. This is Yun cosplay! ;p

mvelasquez · Jan 2008

Hey Hugo, good to see you on polycount. I saw your rock band stuff and was like, Oh yah thats where i know him from

bugo · Jan 2008

Haha, hey buddy! Good to see you too. Yeah, rockband was a nice project, but quite different. Nice portfolio you have.

bugo · Jan 2008

Hey guys a little update one the body, this is the base mesh to go zbrushing.

bugo · Jan 2008

zbrush update:

bugo · Jan 2008

arm, pants and some details updated.

fuxer · Jan 2008

wow cant wait to see it textured

hurry up lol
Btw,it looks perfect

bugo · Jan 2008

thanks fuxer, now with gloves.

_Eclipse_ · Jan 2008

seems older, but... WOW.

bugo · Jan 2008

Yeah, he is kinda older then the same character, kinda a redesign, im paying more atention on creating a great char... Thanks man!

2000yearsoldman · Jan 2008

he looks little bit too old.

pior · Jan 2008

Love it! I always wanted to do Ken in a similar style. Might do it later :P

Careful with the white of the eye, you might want to add the eyelid dropshadow ... tricky area huh? Also be sure to add the 'wetline' at the junction between the eyeball and the lower eyelid, it will work great I think.

soulstice · Jan 2008

dude that looks amazing! can't wait to see the finish textures! It's a fresh look at an iconic character.

danpants · Jan 2008

Nice. I really like the head and how it came out with the textures applied. Nice job.

Mtg_kirin · Jan 2008

everything looks awesome. Pants seem a bit too baggy, but sure it will look awesome with textures

bugo · Jan 2008

thanks for the comments again guys

2000yearsoldman: Yeah, i do think so, but im so lazy to change that part, heh

pior: heh, yeah, thanks for the tip, the only thing that worries me is the rotation of the eyes, but i will take a look on it

soulstice: me too! heh

danpants: thanks man!

Mtg_kirin: yes, pants is something i still need to make some changes. thx!

bugo · Jan 2008

Hey guys, a tiny update, the shoes already modeled, using modeling in Maya and zbrush for all details.

Joseph Silverman · Jan 2008

I like this, but i really don't think you got the likeness at all. This guy's a good 20 years older than yun, and he doesn't share the same facial structure or skintone.

Still, modeling is cool. I really dig those pants, although the shoes look a little plain, form wise, next to them.

bugo · Jan 2008

right, thanks for the feedback SupRore, but, seriously, like I said before, im not intending on creating the same guy as Yun, I´m more like studing a way to create a good character like he is, if I see that it doenst look cool in the end I will make another face and also another skin type.
Maybe i should change the subject of this post.

Thanks again.

pior · Jan 2008

So nice!
One question about the shoes : I did a couple mudboxed shoes in the past and I am wondering how you took care of the shoelaces - ie the way you managed to sculpt them so that they go out of the small rings, then over the side flap or whatever it's called, without noticeable 'ztwisting'. Or maybe these are separated/extracted meshes?

These shoes will look sooo nice with the proper amont of AO and color... For some reason realtime normalmapped shoes are like the coolest thing to work on

bugo · Jan 2008

thanks Pior, yeah, those are separated meshes. i didnt painted them out, but i could extract them, or maybe zsphere them. Thanks for your comments man

I made a better pants update, more realistic lines.

Mind Traveler · Jan 2008

nice work so far. those shoes really shine ... perhaps to much compared to the rest of the body? I would just make sure to bring that level of detail to the rest of the model as well.

Great progression.

Mtg_kirin · Jan 2008

those kicks are kickin. Keep it up

bugo · Jan 2008

yeah, i agree with you, but the only thing is that the Yun concept seems alot simple. I could add some seams at the cloth, or maybe at the gloves, thx

bugo · Jan 2008

great, i added some simple details at the glove, adjusted the shoulder part it was kinda flat, and I think im going to start the lowpoly soon.

Mtg_kirin · Jan 2008

everything still looks perfect to me except the pants. But w/e if thats all I can find its awesome

bugo · Jan 2008

thanks Mtg_kiring, i find the pants odd too, im looking for better references, if someone could help find one

Spug · Jan 2008

SICK!

Mtg_kirin · Jan 2008

bugo · Jan 2008

very nice refs thanks mtg_kirin, but im unsure about these on my character as im looking for something more realistic, but i found a way to make the pants better
thanks alot.

Japhir · Jan 2008

i'm lovin this.
i think the pants look a bit weird 'cause they are so bottom heavy right now, either beef it up overall, or slim it down at the bottom imo.

spacemonkey · Jan 2008

very cool bugo!

bugo · Jan 2008

Japhir: yeah, i still have to find a way to finish this pants out. thanks

Tim: dude, that means alot to me, thanks, i saw your Sarge days ago, i wanna be like you.

pliang · Jan 2008

Nice...add kneecap and you're done.
