Looks good.

You need to fix the normals so there is no seam in the middle.

The eyes look a little slanted for a caucasian.



doomkid3000@Posted: Mon Nov 21, 2005 7:04 am :
yeh the seams wont be visible that just the model mirrored, and the eye's may get fix some more too, little addjustments :)

well its about done now hair design, got everything uvwmapped i just need to texture it make diffusemaps,specularmaps, and heightmaps

and just get the hair look for the ingame render once all thats done it will be complete :) then rig it for animation

here's what i got done

uvw map

the diffusemap is still gonna need some work. but other then that its look pretty good

just have to find a way to get around those seams though :)



doomkid3000@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 12:32 am :
i was wandering how would i go about making some realistic hair for him though,



kat@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 2:27 am :
It's all in the textures. Your heightmap just needs thin 'hairs' on it (heightmap mind you, not normalmap). That what I did for my characters, if you do it well it looks supprisingly goog.



doomkid3000@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 6:49 am :
im gonna try using decals for hair and if that works out then cool, but i'll try your method aswell kat

its just that there's not that much info on texturing stuff like faces i dont have that insane knolege on how precisely a face texture should look or how your paint a hair for texturing the top of the head

or what kind of brushes you guys use etc, i dont think Gimp has the variatiy of brushes the photoshop has, thats why im asking :)



obihb@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 10:17 am :
You may be better off using some photo ref instead of painting.

It could also work well without really giving the hair any bump and using the spec map to control the look. So you'll have thin lines on the spec and in the game only those will react, giving the illusion of the hair strands having some sort of volume.

Getting the hair to look good with bump is harder if the map is not very high res and you can get those strands of hair really thin.

I guess you could use a combined effect where the spec controls the more detail of the hair and the bump gives a less precise indication of volume.

Also some bits of small translucency can help give it that extra bit of volume, like on the Quake4 marine models.



doomkid3000@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 10:44 am :
are there any reference of hair though, btw i also was wandering if theres any skin reference for texturing his face so the skin looks more real on its tones and detail

i looked at the translucency of the hair on the young guy head and it uses a decal type material. the actual texture is white with black hair fur look, is that what your saying and having small tiny speculars on top of that to give it detail :)

guess i'll be looking around for this stuff later



obihb@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 3:08 pm :
No, I don't think you can have spec on a decal type material. It's translucent and has no reaction with light. But you can use them and have the hair have a bit of volume. You don't cover the head with it, just some places where it makes sence. Have a look at the Quake4 marine model in the Quake4 model viewer, it's very well done on that model. The Quake stuff is some of the best stuff to look at anyway for making a character. The stuff is just very well done.

You use the spec on the texture for the head, which would have the hair drawn in it. The spec helps to show hair strands better, in stead of flat smooth look. The bump can also help here but should be used in a subtle way to make it not look like plastic hair.

For hair ref I'm sure if you search for some pics on the net you should get enough to copy/paste some hair from. Same with face ref or skin texture. Or take a digital cam and take photos of your own, or your dad face and skin and manipulate that for use on the model.



doomkid3000@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 9:42 pm :
ok then :o so the hair is part of the head texture then, somwhat like d3 did there's and q4, i'll try that

the reason i wanted to use decals for hair is so the hair is actualy like its modeled and not textured :wink:

but whatever works out best so i'll try your method

EDIT all the sites i have found with skin and hair reference want you to pay :(



obihb@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 11:13 pm :
There's no harm in trying it both ways. But the thing is either way you need to draw a base hair on the head. Either by using photos or draw by hand. What you do ontop of that is up to you. Or even do nothing on top of that and just make the base hair texture look as good as possible.



doomkid3000@Posted: Fri Dec 16, 2005 1:56 am :
i'll let you know how this comes out :)

It has weird head too if i'm honest.



doomkid3000@Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2006 9:41 am :
i dont know its probably the diffusemap thats making the head look funny then again who knows

anyway i used the hands part of the player model from stock doom3 and made them look like the gloves he were's

since they are gonna have to fit perfectly with the original hands what the heck

and i just got the model riged for animation

now i can work more on the face to get it just right

next is adding the gloves and reweighting the bones on there it will be something to do on the weekend :)



Rayne@Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2006 9:44 am :

doomkid3000@Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2006 11:16 pm :
im not doing cell shading i dont even understand what your talking about vipr


anyway the gloves are done i just have to texture them. and the model may be at a close 70% then i can finish up his hair and do whatever needs to be done on the head

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21/sc ... gloves.jpg

i had to get his assecities added like his helmet is finished, the gloves are done, his head is the real pain in the #%^ :lol:

once he's done he's gonna look like this

heXum@Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2006 11:26 pm :
You need a little more expression in his face I think. Give him a snarl and slant his eyes like he's a little more intense. He looks good, just a little cartoony at the moment. Keep it up!



doomkid3000@Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2006 11:29 pm :
its certainly alot of stuff to look at in his face and shape, if you look at the highpoly mesh you can see his real shape

i think its something to look, who knows its most defenitly something i have to fix and tweak up untill its pretty perfect well close anyway to it anyway

but its a little far from complete thats certain

the main things are done witch im happy to get off my chest with this :lol:



doomkid3000@Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 12:34 am :
ok i think this has to do with the diffusemap becuase the localmap looks perfect on the model alone

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21/sc ... nmodel.jpg

somethings gotta give



doomkid3000@Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 1:59 am :
well i changed the shape a little bit and changed the scale of eye decal

but i think the diffusemap is what needs more work



=NoMercy=@Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 2:38 am :
The shape of his nose is wrong, it curves very bad on the top, look at some real heads for reference.



MBolus@Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 2:39 am :
Actually, the structure really is messed up. One area that should be easy to fix with good impact is the area of the bregma to glabella and nasal bones, or central forehead and nose for starters. The orbital-nasal-oral muscle structure is also off, to mention another. This is a good type of exercise, but I assume you're not intending a real distorted look or you would make other changes to match. I do mean this in a good way to help. :idea:



doomkid3000@Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 3:55 am :
i understand with full openness,

can you explain it more thanks :) i dont know the hole anatomy of the human face

so i wouldn't know what (bregma to glabella) means



MBolus@Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 4:49 am :
Here are a few sites to help start out looking at the area from the forehead to the mouth, including eyes, nose, nasiolabial folds, and more.

The first demonstrates forensic reconstruction from skeletal evidence. The second shows a partially dissected face. The third is a simplified diagram of a few parts of the skull. The fourth demonstrates some software for creating new faces from data, including extrapolating how a female sibling of a male would look, how an average person from a certain geographical area or occupation would look, and so on.

thanks man :) im starting to get sick of gmax and its lousy no exporting to obj or lwo format tired of using macscript for a simple model to renderbump taking hours even to get it out the door

i dont mind doing this with md5 and md5anims thats just animation for ingame use

vut for doing modeling its a pain getting it out the door

i hope Silo can replace it for modeling and softimage and some of the other 3d apps out there

its a pain getting a highpoly mesh out and getting it were its smooth and clean on renderbump afterwards

milkshape is good for getting the models nice and clean on the .lwo format

but it sucks because of poly limitations so no go for a good convertion without loosing all the detail in the mesh :cry:

doomkid3000@Posted: Tue Nov 29, 2005 4:49 am :
ok :)

well here's it ingame

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21/sc ... ingame.jpg

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21/sc ... design.jpg
the diffusemap is still gonna need some work. but other then that its look pretty good

just have to find a way to get around those seams though :)



doomkid3000@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 1:32 am :
i was wandering how would i go about making some realistic hair for him though,



kat@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 3:27 am :
It's all in the textures. Your heightmap just needs thin 'hairs' on it (heightmap mind you, not normalmap). That what I did for my characters, if you do it well it looks supprisingly goog.



doomkid3000@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 7:49 am :
im gonna try using decals for hair and if that works out then cool, but i'll try your method aswell kat

its just that there's not that much info on texturing stuff like faces i dont have that insane knolege on how precisely a face texture should look or how your paint a hair for texturing the top of the head

or what kind of brushes you guys use etc, i dont think Gimp has the variatiy of brushes the photoshop has, thats why im asking :)



obihb@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 11:17 am :
You may be better off using some photo ref instead of painting.

It could also work well without really giving the hair any bump and using the spec map to control the look. So you'll have thin lines on the spec and in the game only those will react, giving the illusion of the hair strands having some sort of volume.

Getting the hair to look good with bump is harder if the map is not very high res and you can get those strands of hair really thin.

I guess you could use a combined effect where the spec controls the more detail of the hair and the bump gives a less precise indication of volume.

Also some bits of small translucency can help give it that extra bit of volume, like on the Quake4 marine models.



doomkid3000@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 11:44 am :
are there any reference of hair though, btw i also was wandering if theres any skin reference for texturing his face so the skin looks more real on its tones and detail

i looked at the translucency of the hair on the young guy head and it uses a decal type material. the actual texture is white with black hair fur look, is that what your saying and having small tiny speculars on top of that to give it detail :)

guess i'll be looking around for this stuff later



obihb@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 4:08 pm :
No, I don't think you can have spec on a decal type material. It's translucent and has no reaction with light. But you can use them and have the hair have a bit of volume. You don't cover the head with it, just some places where it makes sence. Have a look at the Quake4 marine model in the Quake4 model viewer, it's very well done on that model. The Quake stuff is some of the best stuff to look at anyway for making a character. The stuff is just very well done.

You use the spec on the texture for the head, which would have the hair drawn in it. The spec helps to show hair strands better, in stead of flat smooth look. The bump can also help here but should be used in a subtle way to make it not look like plastic hair.

For hair ref I'm sure if you search for some pics on the net you should get enough to copy/paste some hair from. Same with face ref or skin texture. Or take a digital cam and take photos of your own, or your dad face and skin and manipulate that for use on the model.



doomkid3000@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 10:42 pm :
ok then :o so the hair is part of the head texture then, somwhat like d3 did there's and q4, i'll try that

the reason i wanted to use decals for hair is so the hair is actualy like its modeled and not textured :wink:

but whatever works out best so i'll try your method

EDIT all the sites i have found with skin and hair reference want you to pay :(



obihb@Posted: Fri Dec 16, 2005 12:13 am :
There's no harm in trying it both ways. But the thing is either way you need to draw a base hair on the head. Either by using photos or draw by hand. What you do ontop of that is up to you. Or even do nothing on top of that and just make the base hair texture look as good as possible.



doomkid3000@Posted: Fri Dec 16, 2005 2:56 am :
i'll let you know how this comes out :)



doomkid3000@Posted: Tue Dec 20, 2005 11:14 am :
ok update

heres how im doing the hair

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21/scott587/hair.jpg

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21/sc ... ingame.jpg

i didn't have any luck with the diffusemap though, but its important too

i'll have to screw around with that the later

i have been busy all week on my guitar need a new amp one of these days:twisted:



MelvinB@Posted: Tue Jan 17, 2006 7:51 pm :
It has weird head too if i'm honest.



doomkid3000@Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2006 9:41 am :
i dont know its probably the diffusemap thats making the head look funny then again who knows

anyway i used the hands part of the player model from stock doom3 and made them look like the gloves he were's

since they are gonna have to fit perfectly with the original hands what the heck

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21/sc ... opview.jpg

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21/sc ... opview.jpg

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21/sc ... omview.jpg

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21/sc ... omview.jpg

and i just got the model riged for animation

now i can work more on the face to get it just right

next is adding the gloves and reweighting the bones on there it will be something to do on the weekend :)



Rayne@Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2006 9:44 am :
No it's not a texture problem, the head has a weird shape...



doomkid3000@Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2006 10:12 am :
hmm maybe i should reshape it or something,



ViPr@Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2006 3:43 pm :
personally i rather hate avante garde abstract nouveau picasso guernica style of art just like i hate cell shading.



jizaboz@Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2006 4:23 pm :
Well it's coming along OK regardless. BTW... what kinda guitar you got? heh

Amp fizzling out on you?



doomkid3000@Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2006 11:16 pm :
im not doing cell shading i dont even understand what your talking about vipr


anyway the gloves are done i just have to texture them. and the model may be at a close 70% then i can finish up his hair and do whatever needs to be done on the head

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21/sc ... gloves.jpg

i had to get his assecities added like his helmet is finished, the gloves are done, his head is the real pain in the #%^ :lol:

once he's done he's gonna look like this

heXum@Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2006 11:26 pm :
You need a little more expression in his face I think. Give him a snarl and slant his eyes like he's a little more intense. He looks good, just a little cartoony at the moment. Keep it up!



doomkid3000@Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2006 11:29 pm :
its certainly alot of stuff to look at in his face and shape, if you look at the highpoly mesh you can see his real shape

i think its something to look, who knows its most defenitly something i have to fix and tweak up untill its pretty perfect well close anyway to it anyway

but its a little far from complete thats certain

the main things are done witch im happy to get off my chest with this :lol:



doomkid3000@Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 12:34 am :
ok i think this has to do with the diffusemap becuase the localmap looks perfect on the model alone

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21/sc ... nmodel.jpg

somethings gotta give



doomkid3000@Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 1:59 am :
well i changed the shape a little bit and changed the scale of eye decal

but i think the diffusemap is what needs more work



=NoMercy=@Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 2:38 am :
The shape of his nose is wrong, it curves very bad on the top, look at some real heads for reference.



MBolus@Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 2:39 am :
Actually, the structure really is messed up. One area that should be easy to fix with good impact is the area of the bregma to glabella and nasal bones, or central forehead and nose for starters. The orbital-nasal-oral muscle structure is also off, to mention another. This is a good type of exercise, but I assume you're not intending a real distorted look or you would make other changes to match. I do mean this in a good way to help. :idea:



doomkid3000@Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 3:55 am :
i understand with full openness,

can you explain it more thanks :) i dont know the hole anatomy of the human face

so i wouldn't know what (bregma to glabella) means



MBolus@Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 4:49 am :
Here are a few sites to help start out looking at the area from the forehead to the mouth, including eyes, nose, nasiolabial folds, and more.

The first demonstrates forensic reconstruction from skeletal evidence. The second shows a partially dissected face. The third is a simplified diagram of a few parts of the skull. The fourth demonstrates some software for creating new faces from data, including extrapolating how a female sibling of a male would look, how an average person from a certain geographical area or occupation would look, and so on.

thanks man :) im starting to get sick of gmax and its lousy no exporting to obj or lwo format tired of using macscript for a simple model to renderbump taking hours even to get it out the door

i dont mind doing this with md5 and md5anims thats just animation for ingame use

vut for doing modeling its a pain getting it out the door

i hope Silo can replace it for modeling and softimage and some of the other 3d apps out there

its a pain getting a highpoly mesh out and getting it were its smooth and clean on renderbump afterwards

milkshape is good for getting the models nice and clean on the .lwo format

but it sucks because of poly limitations so no go for a good convertion without loosing all the detail in the mesh :cry:



doomkid3000@Posted: Fri Feb 03, 2006 10:01 am :
here it is i can say its 90% finished

well its about done now hair design, got everything uvwmapped i just need to texture it make diffusemaps,specularmaps, and heightmaps

kat@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 2:27 am :
It's all in the textures. Your heightmap just needs thin 'hairs' on it (heightmap mind you, not normalmap). That what I did for my characters, if you do it well it looks supprisingly goog.



doomkid3000@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 6:49 am :
im gonna try using decals for hair and if that works out then cool, but i'll try your method aswell kat

its just that there's not that much info on texturing stuff like faces i dont have that insane knolege on how precisely a face texture should look or how your paint a hair for texturing the top of the head

or what kind of brushes you guys use etc, i dont think Gimp has the variatiy of brushes the photoshop has, thats why im asking :)



obihb@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 10:17 am :
You may be better off using some photo ref instead of painting.

It could also work well without really giving the hair any bump and using the spec map to control the look. So you'll have thin lines on the spec and in the game only those will react, giving the illusion of the hair strands having some sort of volume.

Getting the hair to look good with bump is harder if the map is not very high res and you can get those strands of hair really thin.

I guess you could use a combined effect where the spec controls the more detail of the hair and the bump gives a less precise indication of volume.

Also some bits of small translucency can help give it that extra bit of volume, like on the Quake4 marine models.



doomkid3000@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 10:44 am :
are there any reference of hair though, btw i also was wandering if theres any skin reference for texturing his face so the skin looks more real on its tones and detail

i looked at the translucency of the hair on the young guy head and it uses a decal type material. the actual texture is white with black hair fur look, is that what your saying and having small tiny speculars on top of that to give it detail :)

guess i'll be looking around for this stuff later



obihb@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 3:08 pm :
No, I don't think you can have spec on a decal type material. It's translucent and has no reaction with light. But you can use them and have the hair have a bit of volume. You don't cover the head with it, just some places where it makes sence. Have a look at the Quake4 marine model in the Quake4 model viewer, it's very well done on that model. The Quake stuff is some of the best stuff to look at anyway for making a character. The stuff is just very well done.

You use the spec on the texture for the head, which would have the hair drawn in it. The spec helps to show hair strands better, in stead of flat smooth look. The bump can also help here but should be used in a subtle way to make it not look like plastic hair.

For hair ref I'm sure if you search for some pics on the net you should get enough to copy/paste some hair from. Same with face ref or skin texture. Or take a digital cam and take photos of your own, or your dad face and skin and manipulate that for use on the model.



doomkid3000@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 9:42 pm :
ok then :o so the hair is part of the head texture then, somwhat like d3 did there's and q4, i'll try that

the reason i wanted to use decals for hair is so the hair is actualy like its modeled and not textured :wink:

but whatever works out best so i'll try your method

EDIT all the sites i have found with skin and hair reference want you to pay :(

i looked at the translucency of the hair on the young guy head and it uses a decal type material. the actual texture is white with black hair fur look, is that what your saying and having small tiny speculars on top of that to give it detail :)

guess i'll be looking around for this stuff later



obihb@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 3:08 pm :
No, I don't think you can have spec on a decal type material. It's translucent and has no reaction with light. But you can use them and have the hair have a bit of volume. You don't cover the head with it, just some places where it makes sence. Have a look at the Quake4 marine model in the Quake4 model viewer, it's very well done on that model. The Quake stuff is some of the best stuff to look at anyway for making a character. The stuff is just very well done.

You use the spec on the texture for the head, which would have the hair drawn in it. The spec helps to show hair strands better, in stead of flat smooth look. The bump can also help here but should be used in a subtle way to make it not look like plastic hair.

For hair ref I'm sure if you search for some pics on the net you should get enough to copy/paste some hair from. Same with face ref or skin texture. Or take a digital cam and take photos of your own, or your dad face and skin and manipulate that for use on the model.



doomkid3000@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 9:42 pm :
ok then :o so the hair is part of the head texture then, somwhat like d3 did there's and q4, i'll try that

the reason i wanted to use decals for hair is so the hair is actualy like its modeled and not textured :wink:

but whatever works out best so i'll try your method

EDIT all the sites i have found with skin and hair reference want you to pay :(



obihb@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 11:13 pm :
There's no harm in trying it both ways. But the thing is either way you need to draw a base hair on the head. Either by using photos or draw by hand. What you do ontop of that is up to you. Or even do nothing on top of that and just make the base hair texture look as good as possible.

kat@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 2:27 am :
It's all in the textures. Your heightmap just needs thin 'hairs' on it (heightmap mind you, not normalmap). That what I did for my characters, if you do it well it looks supprisingly goog.



doomkid3000@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 6:49 am :
im gonna try using decals for hair and if that works out then cool, but i'll try your method aswell kat

its just that there's not that much info on texturing stuff like faces i dont have that insane knolege on how precisely a face texture should look or how your paint a hair for texturing the top of the head

or what kind of brushes you guys use etc, i dont think Gimp has the variatiy of brushes the photoshop has, thats why im asking :)



obihb@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 10:17 am :
You may be better off using some photo ref instead of painting.

It could also work well without really giving the hair any bump and using the spec map to control the look. So you'll have thin lines on the spec and in the game only those will react, giving the illusion of the hair strands having some sort of volume.

Getting the hair to look good with bump is harder if the map is not very high res and you can get those strands of hair really thin.

I guess you could use a combined effect where the spec controls the more detail of the hair and the bump gives a less precise indication of volume.

Also some bits of small translucency can help give it that extra bit of volume, like on the Quake4 marine models.

It's all in the textures. Your heightmap just needs thin 'hairs' on it (heightmap mind you, not normalmap). That what I did for my characters, if you do it well it looks supprisingly goog.



doomkid3000@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 6:49 am :
im gonna try using decals for hair and if that works out then cool, but i'll try your method aswell kat

its just that there's not that much info on texturing stuff like faces i dont have that insane knolege on how precisely a face texture should look or how your paint a hair for texturing the top of the head

or what kind of brushes you guys use etc, i dont think Gimp has the variatiy of brushes the photoshop has, thats why im asking :)

You may be better off using some photo ref instead of painting.

It could also work well without really giving the hair any bump and using the spec map to control the look. So you'll have thin lines on the spec and in the game only those will react, giving the illusion of the hair strands having some sort of volume.

Getting the hair to look good with bump is harder if the map is not very high res and you can get those strands of hair really thin.

I guess you could use a combined effect where the spec controls the more detail of the hair and the bump gives a less precise indication of volume.

Also some bits of small translucency can help give it that extra bit of volume, like on the Quake4 marine models.



doomkid3000@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 10:44 am :
are there any reference of hair though, btw i also was wandering if theres any skin reference for texturing his face so the skin looks more real on its tones and detail

i looked at the translucency of the hair on the young guy head and it uses a decal type material. the actual texture is white with black hair fur look, is that what your saying and having small tiny speculars on top of that to give it detail :)

guess i'll be looking around for this stuff later



obihb@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 3:08 pm :
No, I don't think you can have spec on a decal type material. It's translucent and has no reaction with light. But you can use them and have the hair have a bit of volume. You don't cover the head with it, just some places where it makes sence. Have a look at the Quake4 marine model in the Quake4 model viewer, it's very well done on that model. The Quake stuff is some of the best stuff to look at anyway for making a character. The stuff is just very well done.

You use the spec on the texture for the head, which would have the hair drawn in it. The spec helps to show hair strands better, in stead of flat smooth look. The bump can also help here but should be used in a subtle way to make it not look like plastic hair.

For hair ref I'm sure if you search for some pics on the net you should get enough to copy/paste some hair from. Same with face ref or skin texture. Or take a digital cam and take photos of your own, or your dad face and skin and manipulate that for use on the model.



doomkid3000@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 9:42 pm :
ok then :o so the hair is part of the head texture then, somwhat like d3 did there's and q4, i'll try that

the reason i wanted to use decals for hair is so the hair is actualy like its modeled and not textured :wink:

but whatever works out best so i'll try your method

EDIT all the sites i have found with skin and hair reference want you to pay :(



obihb@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 11:13 pm :
There's no harm in trying it both ways. But the thing is either way you need to draw a base hair on the head. Either by using photos or draw by hand. What you do ontop of that is up to you. Or even do nothing on top of that and just make the base hair texture look as good as possible.

well its about done now hair design, got everything uvwmapped i just need to texture it make diffusemaps,specularmaps, and heightmaps

and just get the hair look for the ingame render once all thats done it will be complete :) then rig it for animation

here's what i got done

uvw map

the diffusemap is still gonna need some work. but other then that its look pretty good

just have to find a way to get around those seams though :)

kat@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 2:27 am :
It's all in the textures. Your heightmap just needs thin 'hairs' on it (heightmap mind you, not normalmap). That what I did for my characters, if you do it well it looks supprisingly goog.



doomkid3000@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 6:49 am :
im gonna try using decals for hair and if that works out then cool, but i'll try your method aswell kat

its just that there's not that much info on texturing stuff like faces i dont have that insane knolege on how precisely a face texture should look or how your paint a hair for texturing the top of the head

or what kind of brushes you guys use etc, i dont think Gimp has the variatiy of brushes the photoshop has, thats why im asking :)



obihb@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 10:17 am :
You may be better off using some photo ref instead of painting.

It could also work well without really giving the hair any bump and using the spec map to control the look. So you'll have thin lines on the spec and in the game only those will react, giving the illusion of the hair strands having some sort of volume.

Getting the hair to look good with bump is harder if the map is not very high res and you can get those strands of hair really thin.

I guess you could use a combined effect where the spec controls the more detail of the hair and the bump gives a less precise indication of volume.

Also some bits of small translucency can help give it that extra bit of volume, like on the Quake4 marine models.



doomkid3000@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 10:44 am :
are there any reference of hair though, btw i also was wandering if theres any skin reference for texturing his face so the skin looks more real on its tones and detail

i looked at the translucency of the hair on the young guy head and it uses a decal type material. the actual texture is white with black hair fur look, is that what your saying and having small tiny speculars on top of that to give it detail :)

guess i'll be looking around for this stuff later



obihb@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 3:08 pm :
No, I don't think you can have spec on a decal type material. It's translucent and has no reaction with light. But you can use them and have the hair have a bit of volume. You don't cover the head with it, just some places where it makes sence. Have a look at the Quake4 marine model in the Quake4 model viewer, it's very well done on that model. The Quake stuff is some of the best stuff to look at anyway for making a character. The stuff is just very well done.

You use the spec on the texture for the head, which would have the hair drawn in it. The spec helps to show hair strands better, in stead of flat smooth look. The bump can also help here but should be used in a subtle way to make it not look like plastic hair.

For hair ref I'm sure if you search for some pics on the net you should get enough to copy/paste some hair from. Same with face ref or skin texture. Or take a digital cam and take photos of your own, or your dad face and skin and manipulate that for use on the model.



doomkid3000@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 9:42 pm :
ok then :o so the hair is part of the head texture then, somwhat like d3 did there's and q4, i'll try that

the reason i wanted to use decals for hair is so the hair is actualy like its modeled and not textured :wink:

but whatever works out best so i'll try your method

EDIT all the sites i have found with skin and hair reference want you to pay :(



obihb@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 11:13 pm :
There's no harm in trying it both ways. But the thing is either way you need to draw a base hair on the head. Either by using photos or draw by hand. What you do ontop of that is up to you. Or even do nothing on top of that and just make the base hair texture look as good as possible.

yeh the seams wont be visible that just the model mirrored, and the eye's may get fix some more too, little addjustments :)

ok i had to fix the splines some more so there's no more seams on the model

well its about done now hair design, got everything uvwmapped i just need to texture it make diffusemaps,specularmaps, and heightmaps

and just get the hair look for the ingame render once all thats done it will be complete :) then rig it for animation

here's what i got done

uvw map

localmap, rendered normalmap in Orb as wings3d doesn't export the lightwave model smooth to get any good results unfortuantly

the diffusemap is still gonna need some work. but other then that its look pretty good

just have to find a way to get around those seams though :)

i was wandering how would i go about making some realistic hair for him though,



kat@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 2:27 am :
It's all in the textures. Your heightmap just needs thin 'hairs' on it (heightmap mind you, not normalmap). That what I did for my characters, if you do it well it looks supprisingly goog.



doomkid3000@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 6:49 am :
im gonna try using decals for hair and if that works out then cool, but i'll try your method aswell kat

its just that there's not that much info on texturing stuff like faces i dont have that insane knolege on how precisely a face texture should look or how your paint a hair for texturing the top of the head

or what kind of brushes you guys use etc, i dont think Gimp has the variatiy of brushes the photoshop has, thats why im asking :)



obihb@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 10:17 am :
You may be better off using some photo ref instead of painting.

It could also work well without really giving the hair any bump and using the spec map to control the look. So you'll have thin lines on the spec and in the game only those will react, giving the illusion of the hair strands having some sort of volume.

Getting the hair to look good with bump is harder if the map is not very high res and you can get those strands of hair really thin.

I guess you could use a combined effect where the spec controls the more detail of the hair and the bump gives a less precise indication of volume.

Also some bits of small translucency can help give it that extra bit of volume, like on the Quake4 marine models.



doomkid3000@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 10:44 am :
are there any reference of hair though, btw i also was wandering if theres any skin reference for texturing his face so the skin looks more real on its tones and detail

i looked at the translucency of the hair on the young guy head and it uses a decal type material. the actual texture is white with black hair fur look, is that what your saying and having small tiny speculars on top of that to give it detail :)

guess i'll be looking around for this stuff later



obihb@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 3:08 pm :
No, I don't think you can have spec on a decal type material. It's translucent and has no reaction with light. But you can use them and have the hair have a bit of volume. You don't cover the head with it, just some places where it makes sence. Have a look at the Quake4 marine model in the Quake4 model viewer, it's very well done on that model. The Quake stuff is some of the best stuff to look at anyway for making a character. The stuff is just very well done.

You use the spec on the texture for the head, which would have the hair drawn in it. The spec helps to show hair strands better, in stead of flat smooth look. The bump can also help here but should be used in a subtle way to make it not look like plastic hair.

For hair ref I'm sure if you search for some pics on the net you should get enough to copy/paste some hair from. Same with face ref or skin texture. Or take a digital cam and take photos of your own, or your dad face and skin and manipulate that for use on the model.



doomkid3000@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 9:42 pm :
ok then :o so the hair is part of the head texture then, somwhat like d3 did there's and q4, i'll try that

the reason i wanted to use decals for hair is so the hair is actualy like its modeled and not textured :wink:

but whatever works out best so i'll try your method

EDIT all the sites i have found with skin and hair reference want you to pay :(



obihb@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 11:13 pm :
There's no harm in trying it both ways. But the thing is either way you need to draw a base hair on the head. Either by using photos or draw by hand. What you do ontop of that is up to you. Or even do nothing on top of that and just make the base hair texture look as good as possible.



doomkid3000@Posted: Fri Dec 16, 2005 1:56 am :

You use the spec on the texture for the head, which would have the hair drawn in it. The spec helps to show hair strands better, in stead of flat smooth look. The bump can also help here but should be used in a subtle way to make it not look like plastic hair.

For hair ref I'm sure if you search for some pics on the net you should get enough to copy/paste some hair from. Same with face ref or skin texture. Or take a digital cam and take photos of your own, or your dad face and skin and manipulate that for use on the model.

ok then :o so the hair is part of the head texture then, somwhat like d3 did there's and q4, i'll try that

the reason i wanted to use decals for hair is so the hair is actualy like its modeled and not textured :wink:

but whatever works out best so i'll try your method

EDIT all the sites i have found with skin and hair reference want you to pay :(



obihb@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 11:13 pm :
There's no harm in trying it both ways. But the thing is either way you need to draw a base hair on the head. Either by using photos or draw by hand. What you do ontop of that is up to you. Or even do nothing on top of that and just make the base hair texture look as good as possible.

well its about done now hair design, got everything uvwmapped i just need to texture it make diffusemaps,specularmaps, and heightmaps

kat@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 2:27 am :
It's all in the textures. Your heightmap just needs thin 'hairs' on it (heightmap mind you, not normalmap). That what I did for my characters, if you do it well it looks supprisingly goog.



doomkid3000@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 6:49 am :
im gonna try using decals for hair and if that works out then cool, but i'll try your method aswell kat

its just that there's not that much info on texturing stuff like faces i dont have that insane knolege on how precisely a face texture should look or how your paint a hair for texturing the top of the head

or what kind of brushes you guys use etc, i dont think Gimp has the variatiy of brushes the photoshop has, thats why im asking :)



obihb@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 10:17 am :
You may be better off using some photo ref instead of painting.

It could also work well without really giving the hair any bump and using the spec map to control the look. So you'll have thin lines on the spec and in the game only those will react, giving the illusion of the hair strands having some sort of volume.

Getting the hair to look good with bump is harder if the map is not very high res and you can get those strands of hair really thin.

I guess you could use a combined effect where the spec controls the more detail of the hair and the bump gives a less precise indication of volume.

Also some bits of small translucency can help give it that extra bit of volume, like on the Quake4 marine models.



doomkid3000@Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 10:44 am :
are there any reference of hair though, btw i also was wandering if theres any skin reference for texturing his face so the skin looks more real on its tones and detail

i looked at the translucency of the hair on the young guy head and it uses a decal type material. the actual texture is white with black hair fur look, is that what your saying and having small tiny speculars on top of that to give it detail :)

guess i'll be looking around for this stuff later

It has weird head too if i'm honest.



doomkid3000@Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2006 8:41 am :
i dont know its probably the diffusemap thats making the head look funny then again who knows

anyway i used the hands part of the player model from stock doom3 and made them look like the gloves he were's

since they are gonna have to fit perfectly with the original hands what the heck

and i just got the model riged for animation

now i can work more on the face to get it just right

next is adding the gloves and reweighting the bones on there it will be something to do on the weekend :)



Rayne@Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2006 8:44 am :
No it's not a texture problem, the head has a weird shape...

hmm maybe i should reshape it or something,

Amp fizzling out on you?



doomkid3000@Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2006 10:16 pm :
im not doing cell shading i dont even understand what your talking about vipr


anyway the gloves are done i just have to texture them. and the model may be at a close 70% then i can finish up his hair and do whatever needs to be done on the head

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21/sc ... gloves.jpg

i had to get his assecities added like his helmet is finished, the gloves are done, his head is the real pain in the #%^ :lol:

once he's done he's gonna look like this

You need a little more expression in his face I think. Give him a snarl and slant his eyes like he's a little more intense. He looks good, just a little cartoony at the moment. Keep it up!



doomkid3000@Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2006 10:29 pm :
its certainly alot of stuff to look at in his face and shape, if you look at the highpoly mesh you can see his real shape

i think its something to look, who knows its most defenitly something i have to fix and tweak up untill its pretty perfect well close anyway to it anyway

but its a little far from complete thats certain

the main things are done witch im happy to get off my chest with this :lol:



doomkid3000@Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2006 11:34 pm :
ok i think this has to do with the diffusemap becuase the localmap looks perfect on the model alone

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21/sc ... nmodel.jpg

somethings gotta give



doomkid3000@Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 12:59 am :
well i changed the shape a little bit and changed the scale of eye decal

but i think the diffusemap is what needs more work

Actually, the structure really is messed up. One area that should be easy to fix with good impact is the area of the bregma to glabella and nasal bones, or central forehead and nose for starters. The orbital-nasal-oral muscle structure is also off, to mention another. This is a good type of exercise, but I assume you're not intending a real distorted look or you would make other changes to match. I do mean this in a good way to help. :idea:



doomkid3000@Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 2:55 am :
i understand with full openness,

can you explain it more thanks :) i dont know the hole anatomy of the human face

so i wouldn't know what (bregma to glabella) means



MBolus@Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 3:49 am :
Here are a few sites to help start out looking at the area from the forehead to the mouth, including eyes, nose, nasiolabial folds, and more.

The first demonstrates forensic reconstruction from skeletal evidence. The second shows a partially dissected face. The third is a simplified diagram of a few parts of the skull. The fourth demonstrates some software for creating new faces from data, including extrapolating how a female sibling of a male would look, how an average person from a certain geographical area or occupation would look, and so on.

thanks man :) im starting to get sick of gmax and its lousy no exporting to obj or lwo format tired of using macscript for a simple model to renderbump taking hours even to get it out the door

i dont mind doing this with md5 and md5anims thats just animation for ingame use

vut for doing modeling its a pain getting it out the door

i hope Silo can replace it for modeling and softimage and some of the other 3d apps out there

its a pain getting a highpoly mesh out and getting it were its smooth and clean on renderbump afterwards

milkshape is good for getting the models nice and clean on the .lwo format

but it sucks because of poly limitations so no go for a good convertion without loosing all the detail in the mesh :cry:



doomkid3000@Posted: Fri Feb 03, 2006 9:01 am :
here it is i can say its 90% finished

i hope you guys enjoy this as much i enjoyed creating it just tweaks and fixed down the road :wink:

EDIT i updated them the armor area was missing 1 face that need the right material shader applied so half of the scars on his belly were show

its realy small but its better i also did a little update to the face and teeth a bit and repositioned the left hand were he holds his helmet :lol:

doomkid3000@Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2006 8:41 am :
i dont know its probably the diffusemap thats making the head look funny then again who knows

anyway i used the hands part of the player model from stock doom3 and made them look like the gloves he were's

since they are gonna have to fit perfectly with the original hands what the heck

and i just got the model riged for animation

now i can work more on the face to get it just right

next is adding the gloves and reweighting the bones on there it will be something to do on the weekend :)



Rayne@Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2006 8:44 am :

doomkid3000@Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2006 10:16 pm :
im not doing cell shading i dont even understand what your talking about vipr


anyway the gloves are done i just have to texture them. and the model may be at a close 70% then i can finish up his hair and do whatever needs to be done on the head

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21/sc ... gloves.jpg

i had to get his assecities added like his helmet is finished, the gloves are done, his head is the real pain in the #%^ :lol:

once he's done he's gonna look like this

You need a little more expression in his face I think. Give him a snarl and slant his eyes like he's a little more intense. He looks good, just a little cartoony at the moment. Keep it up!



doomkid3000@Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2006 10:29 pm :
its certainly alot of stuff to look at in his face and shape, if you look at the highpoly mesh you can see his real shape

i think its something to look, who knows its most defenitly something i have to fix and tweak up untill its pretty perfect well close anyway to it anyway

but its a little far from complete thats certain

the main things are done witch im happy to get off my chest with this :lol:



doomkid3000@Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2006 11:34 pm :
ok i think this has to do with the diffusemap becuase the localmap looks perfect on the model alone

somethings gotta give

and i just got the model riged for animation

now i can work more on the face to get it just right

next is adding the gloves and reweighting the bones on there it will be something to do on the weekend :)

No it's not a texture problem, the head has a weird shape...



doomkid3000@Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2006 9:12 am :
hmm maybe i should reshape it or something,

personally i rather hate avante garde abstract nouveau picasso guernica style of art just like i hate cell shading.



jizaboz@Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2006 3:23 pm :
Well it's coming along OK regardless. BTW... what kinda guitar you got? heh

Amp fizzling out on you?



doomkid3000@Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2006 10:16 pm :
im not doing cell shading i dont even understand what your talking about vipr


anyway the gloves are done i just have to texture them. and the model may be at a close 70% then i can finish up his hair and do whatever needs to be done on the head

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21/sc ... gloves.jpg

i had to get his assecities added like his helmet is finished, the gloves are done, his head is the real pain in the #%^ :lol:

once he's done he's gonna look like this

You need a little more expression in his face I think. Give him a snarl and slant his eyes like he's a little more intense. He looks good, just a little cartoony at the moment. Keep it up!



doomkid3000@Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2006 10:29 pm :
its certainly alot of stuff to look at in his face and shape, if you look at the highpoly mesh you can see his real shape

i think its something to look, who knows its most defenitly something i have to fix and tweak up untill its pretty perfect well close anyway to it anyway

but its a little far from complete thats certain

the main things are done witch im happy to get off my chest with this :lol:



doomkid3000@Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2006 11:34 pm :
ok i think this has to do with the diffusemap becuase the localmap looks perfect on the model alone

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21/sc ... nmodel.jpg

somethings gotta give



doomkid3000@Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 12:59 am :
well i changed the shape a little bit and changed the scale of eye decal

but i think the diffusemap is what needs more work

The shape of his nose is wrong, it curves very bad on the top, look at some real heads for reference.



MBolus@Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 1:39 am :
Actually, the structure really is messed up. One area that should be easy to fix with good impact is the area of the bregma to glabella and nasal bones, or central forehead and nose for starters. The orbital-nasal-oral muscle structure is also off, to mention another. This is a good type of exercise, but I assume you're not intending a real distorted look or you would make other changes to match. I do mean this in a good way to help. :idea:



doomkid3000@Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 2:55 am :
i understand with full openness,

can you explain it more thanks :) i dont know the hole anatomy of the human face

so i wouldn't know what (bregma to glabella) means



MBolus@Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 3:49 am :
Here are a few sites to help start out looking at the area from the forehead to the mouth, including eyes, nose, nasiolabial folds, and more.

The first demonstrates forensic reconstruction from skeletal evidence. The second shows a partially dissected face. The third is a simplified diagram of a few parts of the skull. The fourth demonstrates some software for creating new faces from data, including extrapolating how a female sibling of a male would look, how an average person from a certain geographical area or occupation would look, and so on.

thanks man :) im starting to get sick of gmax and its lousy no exporting to obj or lwo format tired of using macscript for a simple model to renderbump taking hours even to get it out the door

i dont mind doing this with md5 and md5anims thats just animation for ingame use

vut for doing modeling its a pain getting it out the door

i hope Silo can replace it for modeling and softimage and some of the other 3d apps out there

its a pain getting a highpoly mesh out and getting it were its smooth and clean on renderbump afterwards

milkshape is good for getting the models nice and clean on the .lwo format

but it sucks because of poly limitations so no go for a good convertion without loosing all the detail in the mesh :cry:



doomkid3000@Posted: Fri Feb 03, 2006 9:01 am :
here it is i can say its 90% finished

i hope you guys enjoy this as much i enjoyed creating it just tweaks and fixed down the road :wink:

EDIT i updated them the armor area was missing 1 face that need the right material shader applied so half of the scars on his belly were show

its realy small but its better i also did a little update to the face and teeth a bit and repositioned the left hand were he holds his helmet :lol:

i dont know its probably the diffusemap thats making the head look funny then again who knows

anyway i used the hands part of the player model from stock doom3 and made them look like the gloves he were's

thanks man :) im starting to get sick of gmax and its lousy no exporting to obj or lwo format tired of using macscript for a simple model to renderbump taking hours even to get it out the door

i dont mind doing this with md5 and md5anims thats just animation for ingame use

vut for doing modeling its a pain getting it out the door

i hope Silo can replace it for modeling and softimage and some of the other 3d apps out there

its a pain getting a highpoly mesh out and getting it were its smooth and clean on renderbump afterwards

milkshape is good for getting the models nice and clean on the .lwo format

but it sucks because of poly limitations so no go for a good convertion without loosing all the detail in the mesh :cry:



doomkid3000@Posted: Fri Feb 03, 2006 9:01 am :
here it is i can say its 90% finished

i hope you guys enjoy this as much i enjoyed creating it just tweaks and fixed down the road :wink:

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21/sc ... ir_wip.jpg

EDIT i updated them the armor area was missing 1 face that need the right material shader applied so half of the scars on his belly were show

its realy small but its better i also did a little update to the face and teeth a bit and repositioned the left hand were he holds his helmet :lol:



Rayne@Posted: Fri Feb 03, 2006 11:44 am :
:lol: It really looks like a sumo wrestler's belly



doomkid3000@Posted: Fri Feb 03, 2006 7:17 pm :

It has weird head too if i'm honest.



doomkid3000@Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2006 8:41 am :
i dont know its probably the diffusemap thats making the head look funny then again who knows

anyway i used the hands part of the player model from stock doom3 and made them look like the gloves he were's

since they are gonna have to fit perfectly with the original hands what the heck

and i just got the model riged for animation

now i can work more on the face to get it just right

next is adding the gloves and reweighting the bones on there it will be something to do on the weekend :)



Rayne@Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2006 8:44 am :
No it's not a texture problem, the head has a weird shape...



doomkid3000@Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2006 9:12 am :

Amp fizzling out on you?



doomkid3000@Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2006 10:16 pm :
im not doing cell shading i dont even understand what your talking about vipr


anyway the gloves are done i just have to texture them. and the model may be at a close 70% then i can finish up his hair and do whatever needs to be done on the head

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21/sc ... gloves.jpg

i had to get his assecities added like his helmet is finished, the gloves are done, his head is the real pain in the #%^ :lol:

once he's done he's gonna look like this

heXum@Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2006 10:26 pm :
You need a little more expression in his face I think. Give him a snarl and slant his eyes like he's a little more intense. He looks good, just a little cartoony at the moment. Keep it up!



doomkid3000@Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2006 10:29 pm :
its certainly alot of stuff to look at in his face and shape, if you look at the highpoly mesh you can see his real shape

i think its something to look, who knows its most defenitly something i have to fix and tweak up untill its pretty perfect well close anyway to it anyway

but its a little far from complete thats certain

the main things are done witch im happy to get off my chest with this :lol:



doomkid3000@Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2006 11:34 pm :
ok i think this has to do with the diffusemap becuase the localmap looks perfect on the model alone

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21/sc ... nmodel.jpg

somethings gotta give



doomkid3000@Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 12:59 am :
well i changed the shape a little bit and changed the scale of eye decal

but i think the diffusemap is what needs more work



=NoMercy=@Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 1:38 am :
The shape of his nose is wrong, it curves very bad on the top, look at some real heads for reference.



MBolus@Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 1:39 am :
Actually, the structure really is messed up. One area that should be easy to fix with good impact is the area of the bregma to glabella and nasal bones, or central forehead and nose for starters. The orbital-nasal-oral muscle structure is also off, to mention another. This is a good type of exercise, but I assume you're not intending a real distorted look or you would make other changes to match. I do mean this in a good way to help. :idea:



doomkid3000@Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 2:55 am :
i understand with full openness,

can you explain it more thanks :) i dont know the hole anatomy of the human face

so i wouldn't know what (bregma to glabella) means



MBolus@Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 3:49 am :
Here are a few sites to help start out looking at the area from the forehead to the mouth, including eyes, nose, nasiolabial folds, and more.

The first demonstrates forensic reconstruction from skeletal evidence. The second shows a partially dissected face. The third is a simplified diagram of a few parts of the skull. The fourth demonstrates some software for creating new faces from data, including extrapolating how a female sibling of a male would look, how an average person from a certain geographical area or occupation would look, and so on.

You need a little more expression in his face I think. Give him a snarl and slant his eyes like he's a little more intense. He looks good, just a little cartoony at the moment. Keep it up!



doomkid3000@Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2006 10:29 pm :
its certainly alot of stuff to look at in his face and shape, if you look at the highpoly mesh you can see his real shape

i think its something to look, who knows its most defenitly something i have to fix and tweak up untill its pretty perfect well close anyway to it anyway

but its a little far from complete thats certain

the main things are done witch im happy to get off my chest with this :lol:



doomkid3000@Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2006 11:34 pm :
ok i think this has to do with the diffusemap becuase the localmap looks perfect on the model alone

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21/sc ... nmodel.jpg

somethings gotta give



doomkid3000@Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 12:59 am :
well i changed the shape a little bit and changed the scale of eye decal

but i think the diffusemap is what needs more work



=NoMercy=@Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 1:38 am :
The shape of his nose is wrong, it curves very bad on the top, look at some real heads for reference.



MBolus@Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 1:39 am :
Actually, the structure really is messed up. One area that should be easy to fix with good impact is the area of the bregma to glabella and nasal bones, or central forehead and nose for starters. The orbital-nasal-oral muscle structure is also off, to mention another. This is a good type of exercise, but I assume you're not intending a real distorted look or you would make other changes to match. I do mean this in a good way to help. :idea:



doomkid3000@Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 2:55 am :
i understand with full openness,

can you explain it more thanks :) i dont know the hole anatomy of the human face

so i wouldn't know what (bregma to glabella) means



MBolus@Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 3:49 am :
Here are a few sites to help start out looking at the area from the forehead to the mouth, including eyes, nose, nasiolabial folds, and more.

The first demonstrates forensic reconstruction from skeletal evidence. The second shows a partially dissected face. The third is a simplified diagram of a few parts of the skull. The fourth demonstrates some software for creating new faces from data, including extrapolating how a female sibling of a male would look, how an average person from a certain geographical area or occupation would look, and so on.

thanks man :) im starting to get sick of gmax and its lousy no exporting to obj or lwo format tired of using macscript for a simple model to renderbump taking hours even to get it out the door

i dont mind doing this with md5 and md5anims thats just animation for ingame use

vut for doing modeling its a pain getting it out the door

i hope Silo can replace it for modeling and softimage and some of the other 3d apps out there

its a pain getting a highpoly mesh out and getting it were its smooth and clean on renderbump afterwards

milkshape is good for getting the models nice and clean on the .lwo format

but it sucks because of poly limitations so no go for a good convertion without loosing all the detail in the mesh :cry:



doomkid3000@Posted: Fri Feb 03, 2006 9:01 am :
here it is i can say its 90% finished

EDIT i updated them the armor area was missing 1 face that need the right material shader applied so half of the scars on his belly were show

its realy small but its better i also did a little update to the face and teeth a bit and repositioned the left hand were he holds his helmet :lol:

doomkid3000@Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2006 8:41 am :
i dont know its probably the diffusemap thats making the head look funny then again who knows

anyway i used the hands part of the player model from stock doom3 and made them look like the gloves he were's

since they are gonna have to fit perfectly with the original hands what the heck

now i can work more on the face to get it just right

next is adding the gloves and reweighting the bones on there it will be something to do on the weekend :)



Rayne@Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2006 8:44 am :

It has weird head too if i'm honest.



doomkid3000@Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2006 8:41 am :
i dont know its probably the diffusemap thats making the head look funny then again who knows

anyway i used the hands part of the player model from stock doom3 and made them look like the gloves he were's

since they are gonna have to fit perfectly with the original hands what the heck

and i just got the model riged for animation

now i can work more on the face to get it just right

next is adding the gloves and reweighting the bones on there it will be something to do on the weekend :)



Rayne@Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2006 8:44 am :
No it's not a texture problem, the head has a weird shape...



doomkid3000@Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2006 9:12 am :
hmm maybe i should reshape it or something,

Amp fizzling out on you?



doomkid3000@Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2006 10:16 pm :
im not doing cell shading i dont even understand what your talking about vipr


anyway the gloves are done i just have to texture them. and the model may be at a close 70% then i can finish up his hair and do whatever needs to be done on the head

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21/sc ... gloves.jpg

i had to get his assecities added like his helmet is finished, the gloves are done, his head is the real pain in the #%^ :lol:

once he's done he's gonna look like this

You need a little more expression in his face I think. Give him a snarl and slant his eyes like he's a little more intense. He looks good, just a little cartoony at the moment. Keep it up!



doomkid3000@Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2006 10:29 pm :
its certainly alot of stuff to look at in his face and shape, if you look at the highpoly mesh you can see his real shape

i think its something to look, who knows its most defenitly something i have to fix and tweak up untill its pretty perfect well close anyway to it anyway

but its a little far from complete thats certain

the main things are done witch im happy to get off my chest with this :lol:



doomkid3000@Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2006 11:34 pm :
ok i think this has to do with the diffusemap becuase the localmap looks perfect on the model alone

The shape of his nose is wrong, it curves very bad on the top, look at some real heads for reference.



MBolus@Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 1:39 am :
Actually, the structure really is messed up. One area that should be easy to fix with good impact is the area of the bregma to glabella and nasal bones, or central forehead and nose for starters. The orbital-nasal-oral muscle structure is also off, to mention another. This is a good type of exercise, but I assume you're not intending a real distorted look or you would make other changes to match. I do mean this in a good way to help. :idea:



doomkid3000@Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 2:55 am :
i understand with full openness,

can you explain it more thanks :) i dont know the hole anatomy of the human face

so i wouldn't know what (bregma to glabella) means



MBolus@Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 3:49 am :
Here are a few sites to help start out looking at the area from the forehead to the mouth, including eyes, nose, nasiolabial folds, and more.

The first demonstrates forensic reconstruction from skeletal evidence. The second shows a partially dissected face. The third is a simplified diagram of a few parts of the skull. The fourth demonstrates some software for creating new faces from data, including extrapolating how a female sibling of a male would look, how an average person from a certain geographical area or occupation would look, and so on.

thanks man :) im starting to get sick of gmax and its lousy no exporting to obj or lwo format tired of using macscript for a simple model to renderbump taking hours even to get it out the door

i dont mind doing this with md5 and md5anims thats just animation for ingame use

vut for doing modeling its a pain getting it out the door

i hope Silo can replace it for modeling and softimage and some of the other 3d apps out there

its a pain getting a highpoly mesh out and getting it were its smooth and clean on renderbump afterwards

milkshape is good for getting the models nice and clean on the .lwo format

but it sucks because of poly limitations so no go for a good convertion without loosing all the detail in the mesh :cry:



doomkid3000@Posted: Fri Feb 03, 2006 9:01 am :

The shape of his nose is wrong, it curves very bad on the top, look at some real heads for reference.



MBolus@Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 1:39 am :
Actually, the structure really is messed up. One area that should be easy to fix with good impact is the area of the bregma to glabella and nasal bones, or central forehead and nose for starters. The orbital-nasal-oral muscle structure is also off, to mention another. This is a good type of exercise, but I assume you're not intending a real distorted look or you would make other changes to match. I do mean this in a good way to help. :idea:

i understand with full openness,

can you explain it more thanks :) i dont know the hole anatomy of the human face

so i wouldn't know what (bregma to glabella) means



MBolus@Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 3:49 am :
Here are a few sites to help start out looking at the area from the forehead to the mouth, including eyes, nose, nasiolabial folds, and more.

The first demonstrates forensic reconstruction from skeletal evidence. The second shows a partially dissected face. The third is a simplified diagram of a few parts of the skull. The fourth demonstrates some software for creating new faces from data, including extrapolating how a female sibling of a male would look, how an average person from a certain geographical area or occupation would look, and so on.

thanks man :) im starting to get sick of gmax and its lousy no exporting to obj or lwo format tired of using macscript for a simple model to renderbump taking hours even to get it out the door

i dont mind doing this with md5 and md5anims thats just animation for ingame use

vut for doing modeling its a pain getting it out the door

i hope Silo can replace it for modeling and softimage and some of the other 3d apps out there

its a pain getting a highpoly mesh out and getting it were its smooth and clean on renderbump afterwards

milkshape is good for getting the models nice and clean on the .lwo format

but it sucks because of poly limitations so no go for a good convertion without loosing all the detail in the mesh :cry:
