Hindy Posted March 24, 2003 Posted March 24, 2003 Hi Im currently making my first player model, which is also my first organic model as well. The model is Legolas, to give Matt-Liells model a run for its money!!!! I have more or less completed the head just finishing off the hair and have a basic body built with no detail. This is a university module so hope it will be available for download within 4-5 weeks at the most... I dont have any webspace at the mo so cant post any screens unless anyone would like to host them for the time being, ifso PM me and we ll sort something out.
Brodin Posted March 24, 2003 Posted March 24, 2003 Hey, you could post it on geocities, then give us a link, then we can copy and paste the link (geocities doesnt allow remote image linking) good luck!
Hindy Posted March 24, 2003 Author Posted March 24, 2003 Im trying to sort out some space now, hopefully have some screens up tomorrow...
Hindy Posted March 25, 2003 Author Posted March 25, 2003 I have some screens for you all, let me know what ya think. I will only be making adjustments until the end of the week maybe first part of next week... http://www.boomspeed.com/bluestix/Legolasfront01.jpg http://www.boomspeed.com/bluestix/LegolasSide01.jpg
Matt-Liell Posted March 25, 2003 Posted March 25, 2003 Looks good friend! But my skinning is going to make mine own!
Brodin Posted March 26, 2003 Posted March 26, 2003 This'll be interesting! Two legolas models, hmm, which will be better? although i do agree that both will be unique due to the way they are skinned.
ninja Posted March 26, 2003 Posted March 26, 2003 lol i dont think it matters which is better. i'm sure both will work hard on both models. but like "HIGHLANDER" say "there can only be one" -chomp- lol just kidding. looking forward to seeing both.
Hindy Posted March 26, 2003 Author Posted March 26, 2003 Ok folks im working on the body at the mo, i ll assign material ids and flat colour the model either tonight or tomorrow to show where im at.... 1.)Which film would you like me to base Legolas on? I was leaning to TTT as Matt-Liell was using FOTR reference material 2.)Also I was planning on ditching the cape as seems like a waste of polgons which could be used to enhance detail. Any thoughts welcomed.....
Eldritch Posted March 26, 2003 Posted March 26, 2003 No offense to Matt-Liell intended, but I think your model will turn out better for one simple reason... Matt's model is based off the Exar Kun model with some modifications and a different head. As such, your model will look more proportionally correct (Legolas is very slim, and Exar Kun is just too bulky to make a convincing Legolas, even with a good skin) and the face already bares a better likeness.
Hindy Posted March 27, 2003 Author Posted March 27, 2003 I ve flat coloured the head to give you a better idea of how it looks... http://www.boomspeed.com/bluestix/Flatcolour1.jpg I ll will attach it to the body and post some more screens later C ya
Psyk0Sith Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 Looks good, the forehead either needs to have edges turned or more polys added (the weird crease on each side). You might want to add a couple lights in the scene to see how the shadows look, modelling without lights can cause a few bad surprises in-game. Keep it up!
Hindy Posted March 27, 2003 Author Posted March 27, 2003 Hi Here is the body flat coloured.......... http://www.boomspeed.com/bluestix/TorsoFront01.jpg http://www.boomspeed.com/bluestix/TorsoSide01.jpg Im almost finished with the modelling, so please give any feedback or opinions of what could be changed Tomorrow I hope to add Quiver, Belts and Hands Thanx
Hindy Posted March 27, 2003 Author Posted March 27, 2003 Thanx for the advice PsykOSith, it looks a lot more even now I have turned the edges. I ll be sure to check the rest of the mesh tomorrow. Thanx again
Brodin Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 Ok umm. his "rear-end" sticks out, like massively way too far. Also, his calves are really rounded, and his shins bend in too much. His lower back also arches in too far. And i dont know bout the rest of you, but IMO, the head is a tad too small for his body Otherwise, lookin good!
{BK}SupremePain Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 Originally posted by Matt-Liell Looks good friend! But my skinning is going to make mine own! *cough ego cough trrip cough* i like the model the smooth change from head to hair is nice....
Eldritch Posted April 4, 2003 Posted April 4, 2003 What's going on with Legolas, Hindy? Haven't heard from you in a while. Joking, joking. The clothes need a little more detail... wrinkles, folds, etc. Other than that, it's pretty good. Just needs some tweaking.
Hindy Posted April 5, 2003 Author Posted April 5, 2003 yeah sorry needed a break from staring at the same model. Plus the release of Cm4 was a distraction. Im currently tweaking the clothing after sorting the body shape and proportions. I ll post some pics prob on Monday... Cheers for askin
Hindy Posted April 8, 2003 Author Posted April 8, 2003 Ok boys and girls Im almost finished here are updated pics http://www.boomspeed.com/bluestix/newBack01.jpg http://www.boomspeed.com/bluestix/newFront01.jpg http://www.boomspeed.com/bluestix/newSide01.jpg Please let me know what you all think, i.e improvements as Im gonna start putting it in game tomorrow
SettingShadow Posted April 8, 2003 Posted April 8, 2003 looks great, I especially like the face, it really look elvish. Best of luck with getting it in game
ninja Posted April 8, 2003 Posted April 8, 2003 really nice indeed. i was showing your model to a friend of mine because in his younger dungions and dragons days, he always played elves. and we both think your model is pritty much almost identicle to the movie.
Hindy Posted April 8, 2003 Author Posted April 8, 2003 Many thanx ninja & Squater for your kind words. I will be putting it in game tomrrow, hopefully as I have never done it before. Fingers crossed
