Beast WIP

    Yeah, the lamp officially died...R.I.P...

    PS a normalmap????...I've been wishing for tht ability!, so you CAN make a normal map in the same way as a bump map? My painting is far better than my modeling.

    Not touched Zbrush yet, its on my 'to do' list. Basically, I really need this modeled and textured next week so can't be spending too much time exploring new methods.

    Anyway, I'm having to stop work on it for 2 days. So please continue crits, I'll pick em up on monday and tweak the model. Unwrap on tuesday...finished on thursday/friday...

    Thanks for all support!

    hey capone_adam,

    the model looks great! I agree with everyone that normal mapping your character would look kick ass! Looks like your using 3dsmax for modeling. If its version 7, the normal baking render is included.

    Since, your already familiar with 3dsmax, i'd work on the model until ure happy with it, and then start cranking up the details. Add lots of new geometry where needed, make a really high detailed model.

    Then follow this tutorial that got me learning normal mapping

    Better already. What might be really interesting is to dig up some pictures of real animals and check out how their legs are attached, how their muscles look.

    About done, but really hit a problem. I'm really needing to move on, but I've adapted this high poly version from the low poly but I just don't have time to go around the mesh changing every single tri into a quad.

    The idea of doing the high poly was to show I can do it, but I feel its pointless showing it if it goes against one of the core rules of high poly work, all quads. So I may ditch the high and work on another project which focuses on high poly (rather than being a adapted low poly version) while I wait for feedback on my showreel.

    Have I really gone about this the wrong way, maybe I should of built the high poly and adapted it into a low?...

    Also, when I texture it I am going to unwrap the low poly, save uvs and put on high poly (if I go ahead with this), can anyone confirm that as a good method?

    Thanks

    maybe a rusted silver. If you went too white for silver it would make it look monochromatic and most likely, less interesting.

    Im not sure, but i think that silver doesnt rust.. is that writed right?

    that green eye is bugging me compared to the rest of the texturing, it seems out of place. maybe adding burning it abit in photoshop, to give it a bit of definition as an eye. Just a thought, otherwise looks great!
