My first tests.
I will start giving detail to the models g and F.
Any suggestion?
Thanks

notebookguy · Mar 2009

E tightened up

javier.deandres · Mar 2009

To me, that most interests is the D, E and G

javier.deandres · Mar 2009

I decided by the G option

Rick Stirling · Mar 2009

nice start - have you considered a non-horse for the lower half? Perhaps a bull, or rhino, or perhaps even a giraffe?

javier.deandres · Mar 2009

Hi again...
thanks Rick Stirling,I have considered put a lower half of many animal, but the horse agrees more with the fibrous body ...
Now I am thinking that type of protection was taking in the legs, in order that he could walk without problems...

coldkodiak · Mar 2009

that looks good dude. He could use some shoulder pads or something to balance out all that bottom heavy stuff, but overall, pretty cool.

javier.deandres · Mar 2009

Thank you very much for your commentaries coldkodiak, you have reason, I am thinking some type of armor about the top part.
While I finish for deciding of the details of armor and the final color of the set, am creating the body base in 3d to remove to zbrush.
Thank you

javier.deandres · Apr 2009

first strokes in zbrush...

Rick Stirling · Apr 2009

Are you planning on using hard surface modelling for the armour?

javier.deandres · Apr 2009

Rick Stirling : yes, is not correct?any suggestion?
Thanks!!!!

Looks great so far, last pic is my fave

javier.deandres · Apr 2009

Thank you Luke_starkie!!!

update:...

Vrav · Apr 2009

I really like the thick, fleshy-looking tail, and the visible musculature on the horse body is awesome... the human torso looks a little weird at first, but as a hard reflective exoskeleton, very cool! Reminds me of formians from D&D. Sweet horn design too, though maybe the trapezius region could be a bit thicker to support them.

javier.deandres · Apr 2009

Vrav thank you very much for your reply, Still I continue experimenting with the type of surface on the torso.You have reason the zone of the neck and the trapeze still I have to give form

javier.deandres · Apr 2009

Little color update:....

notebookguy · Apr 2009

Crazy sculpting skills

javier.deandres · Apr 2009

Thanks notebookguy...
I'm scared because time is short, and I still remain many things to do ...

Another Update:

javier.deandres · Apr 2009

Hello boys and girls from Polycount the absence of some changes in the head and the gun, I finished the high poly, I had to revamp the concept and that many of these things would give me time to finish.This is the first time that im participating in dominance, and my goal is to finish the model and overcome the previous models I've created.
I hope you enjoy it. As of now I will start working on the gun and the low poly.

Sorry by my english...

javier.deandres · Apr 2009

Hi again, here is my low poly with normal map. Total 9020 tris.

55joe · Apr 2009

nice poly usage and burn dude!

javier.deandres · Apr 2009

55joe thank you very much for your comment, I saw your work is impressive.
This is the first evidence of texture in the material, it may be better to use an alpha channel for the edges ...¿?
Thank you

55joe · Apr 2009

looks cool. if you have the poly budget for edging i wouldnt worry about it but if you wana save some tris, alpha isnt a bad idea.
your texture: i see it has the greentooth logo in it but its so hard to see i almost missed it

javier.deandres · Apr 2009

55joe thank you very much for your comment, you are right I have a bit more contrast to the fabric.
I'm still working on textures ...

javier.deandres · Apr 2009

I am preparing the setup of the character while texturised order to get a pose, I had to use two bipeds

javier.deandres · Apr 2009

Update:This is the pose that I have chosen
any suggestions? maybe the tail is not well placed

55joe · Apr 2009

nice pose ,i like it. the tails pose can use some work tho

javier.deandres · May 2009

Thanks 55joe I worked some more in the tail.
I'm finishing textures and while I will be thinking of the presentations ...

javier.deandres · May 2009

Hello everybody, these days I have changed the pose.
from here i begin preparing the final images

Ged · May 2009

dude these textures are too noisy and contrasty for me, try adding some more brightness and defining the overall shapes of muscles and details first. let the normal map and ao do the work then add special effects(green glows splatter textures etc) only where you see them really working well eg the end of the spear head rather than liberally splattering the texture with effects. Just trying to help, hope it comes out well

expression and pose are good

javier.deandres · May 2009

Ged , Thank you very much for your reply

You're right, I am not satisfied with the Difuse texture, I was stuck and not know how to fix it
i dont know how to do " adding some more brightness and defining the overall shapes of muscles and details "
any advice?
This is the map

I'm afraid I did not finish in time because

I have to do the final images and monday is the last day

Lot of thanks

Ged · May 2009

the new entry date is 18th you have another week, dont give up

yeah this diffuse map is very noisy. Id say go back to basics on the texture, get your flat colours and AO map in there and then remember to be more careful/considered about where what colour or noise texture goes and how strong those colours or textures will be. Try Use the specular/normal map to make stuff pop out or be contrasty not the diffuse, the diffuse can be quite flat and boring in some places really - check out some other peoples diffuse for examples.

408 · May 2009

It will also help a lot to lower the value on your overlays a bit too. Try painting shadows with darker versions of color instead of black.

javier.deandres · May 2009

Ged and 408 : thank you very much for your advice.
Attempt to improve the texture, I start from scratch with colors and have reduced occlusion texture.
For now the texture seems more clean

Ged · May 2009

good start, the texture looks kinda like hes made of slime or wet like a slimy frog - is that the intention? if so then youve succeeded

javier.deandres · May 2009

Thank you very much Ged, yes, I wanted to make the skin wet.

I continued walking around the texture and should begin from tomorrow with the final images...Time is running out

Ged · May 2009

looks much neater and theres hes actually a more identifiable character now that looks like he has a race/culture, nice work the glows on the spears still look a bit random and the green eyes look a bit too much like primary green so they loose shape or style and become a blob of colour, maybe try a subtle green to yellow glow/circular gradient in the sockets?

javier.deandres · May 2009

Thank you very much ged.
