Kerocool: If you mean skinning, well...

 

Body (torso, hips, arms, legs & hands) 90% finished, gotta whack skin texture on hands and tweak the body. By adding a few more creases here and there and sorting the contrast.

 

Head is probably 50%, the face is getting there. The face has some things I wanna change ( i ll post pics soon). I ve gotta reunwrap the hair as i did it half arsed, wont take long. Then texture hair... been experimenting with hair sort of got a technique now.

 

I want to finish skinning tomorrow

 

*Hindy sets himself a strict deadline!*

Here are some head WIP skins. I mentioned in previous post Im gonna re-unwrap the hair cos it looked cack from the front but spot on from the side.

 

Legolas1

 

Legolas2

 

I need to tone down the lips, maybe make slightly bigger. Tweak the brows as they appear too ridged and redo the hair.

 

Is it me or does he look a tad sad?

 

Let me know what you think

 

Cheers

Ok I got the skins on the model and its plain to see where they could be improved!

 

I have some issues with clipping and a floating hand so I have a thread on General Editing in which I have some questions regarding the problems.

 

It has some pics too!!!!

Thanx to everyone who has been interested in this thread as it has kept me motivated over the past weeks.

 

Also I want like to thank PsykOSith for all his and support over on general editing when I ran in troubles.

 

Overall this project has ran pretty smoothly and 3ds max was surprisingly easy to get to grips with. Where does Hindy go from here? I hear u ask (or maybe not!)... Well i hope to start my new project on 22/05, Im torn between making LOTR TTT Gollum or Futurama Bender.

 

I really got the urge to model Bender last week when I was watchin Futurama :D
