Making progress step by step. I've tackled texturing and put together a fast presentation of what I got so far. Mostly just basic colors down. I've played with teh reflective and gloss maps to get the general feel right, and I'll be taking on details next. The scene still tweaking, shadows are looking a bit weird. But…
Head and face are looking good. The ear could use some more polishing, but it ain't that important, because the anatomy is basically correct. You should really sculp the seams, it's very easy with the right brush and lazy mouse settings. It'll be much harder to draw a straight line across the UV layout in Photoshop. Also…
Thank you! Hope all is well with you :) Agreed. It's still a WIP, but I've got most of it down. All I have left is texture details to get in a more natural and worn feel. A bit too stiff and plasticy right now. At last, I passed the course it was meant for though, so I'll be spending some time on and off in between work…
@Popolo Hey! Nice seeing you around, and thanks. I'll try my best! Slooowly, slowly getting somewhere. Spent most of my day eagerly following Emil Mujanovic's lecture at school. Yet again, thank you! And real nice to see you following my thread. I spent some time in the evening making some minor changes after receiving…
Got no tips on polypainting, but you can get fair results with handpainted textures overlayed with photo textures. Even a 100% handpainted texture can look pretty realistic, if you know how to make and use custom brushes. I usually add base colors to the meshes parts first. This way I can get the right feeling of colors,…
Folds looking very good so far. With such a promising concept I'm really eager to see the final realtime model. I do hope, you thought of an interesting rear design, because if this model would be making it into the game you would mostly see it from an over the shoulder perspective, but you got enough references. I would…
Late on the crit here but I do see a problem with the high poly. You have a lot of straps that bear weight, but the only place you really show that is in the knee pad straps. I've worn a one shoulder big messenger bag for a long time and that shoulder strap and securing strap really digs in. It was bad enough with art…
BlacKBeast Thanks man, I'm glad you like it! :) I guess it's time for an update. Been a while! Hope you're all well. I really needed to get away from work over the holidays, and I'm glad I did. I really needed that rest... It's gonna be a hell of a second term in school! We're half way through the RTS project, and our…
I know I keep promising you paintovers and not delivering, but to be honest this is coming along really well and it seems like you haven't had much need for them so far. There are some minor things I'd personally address for stylistic/aesthetic reasons (which are generally just my personal tastes) and some things because…
