Big Man looks like a Bad A** Dude: )

I like his new hair myself, the other one was pretty cool to: ) But I personally prefer the new style hair: )

You probably going to want to add more geometry between the forearm and upper arm, just so that he can deform better when you rig him.

And as for rigging try starign off with a Simple Biped if your able to use Biped.

Keep up the great work.

[Zcubed]

I think Cyrenn's right about deformation problems, but it's not because you need more geometry as much as it is design related. His appendages are all cylindrical, and he doesn't have any knees or elbows. His shoulders should be fine (Even if they're not, the pads will hide it), but he's not going to be bending his arms or legs.

It's not necessarily a bad thing, I think it makes him seem more collosal. Slow and somewhat unwieldy, but you won't get up if he hits you. :hmm:

I liked the old hair better too.

Keep the updates coming, nice work!

[evil-98]

actually i thought of all that deforming stuff
and i havent updated the wire.
there are more polys for his elbow, and i think his knees should be fine since behind the knee pads there is alot of space for the deforming to happen.

you guys keep up the good work too

[Zcubed]

Which elbow are you planning to use? He doesn't have one. :lame:

His shoulder leads right into the forearm, I don't know what you're talking about. That forearm guard shouldn't be doing any deforming, so he really CAN'T bend his arm. Once again, it's not a bad thing, but the only way I think you'll get elbow deformations would be to totally redesign the arm.

You might be able to prove me wrong, of course. In which case I invite everyone to come laugh at me. :grr:

[Brodix]

Nice Work Evil. Love him. I still like that bald head better lol. Maybe lose the fangs, and close the mouth?

[Dave_UK]

The fangs look cool, you could just move the jaw forward so the fangs don't go into his upper lip. Keep up the good work.

they dont go in to the lip. its just right in front of it

nice evil :) i like the screw look for his elbow joint...the new face looks really nice !! like, makes him look more sinister, the hair looks like that guy from tekken (the name escapes me now) ...nice job, can i see a wire if you dont mind

[Cyrenn]

Great update Evil. I like his new look as well: ) he really fits right into the Mega man world: ) Very cool new hair and arms: ) Good jorb: )

[evil-98]

heres another alternative model. i think this is cooler
saves alot of polys too. i also changed the leg bolts too

edit: ive also fixed the lower torso it looks alot better, it is more proportional

hey evil i really like the new look man !....the only thing i would do if i was you is try a test rigg, because now that i look at it you might have a problem bending the the arm with (elbow area) the bolt/screw in the way....but i love this model man :) !

[evil-98]

^^ ya i know what you mean, i was thinking about that too... im really confused lol

[lowlevel]

lol sry evil didnt mean to confuse you...try getting a third opinion from another member, because i could be talking outta my butt.... and i'm no pro lol :)

[evil-98]

^^ no your comment didnt confuse me

rigging is whats confusing me.

[lowlevel]

lol...yeah riggin confuses you like texture is to me :)

[evil-98]

bad news.. :blah:

got to reformat my HD so i wond be updating for a while, plus i lose everything thats on my C/ so all my megaman refs, and all my bigman stuff not to mention all the rest of my 3dsmax resources...

so ill probally be spending all my time searching for the stuff that i lost in the crash. it was some link so dont go around click sh!t

so ill probally spend some time searching on how to rig my model.

[MonteCristo]

Whoa, that's bad news bro. Don't forget there are some pieces of software such as "Get Data Back" And I think "TuneUp Utilities 2006" that can help you retrieve lost data. Just Don't format the drive.

[Zcubed]

Sorry to hear about that, Evil. Just listen to Monte and try to recover as much as you can before you wipe your drive clean. :ugh:

[evil-98]

ya i tryed alot of different things trying to recover my stuff. at one point i recovered everything then it crashed again and that stuff was lost forever...

but its ok, i got alot of the hard stuff, but i need to reload everything, all the software it wiped out my regedit so all my licences are gone now i got to go back and find everything on that.

so im using this as an excuse to make a new computer. ill probally get something up w/ my laptop which im on right now and will probally be on for a while.

im just afraid of it corrupting more stuff.

thanks for the advice

[Cyrenn]

Sorry to hear that Evil, you bot was promising: ) Yea I had that happen to me not to long ago, had to reformat my whole drive sucked big time: )

Well let me know if theres anything I can do to help you out: )

[evil-98]

well i guess this is the final art work
couldnt get it done on time but ill still try and get it done.

[Cyrenn]

None the less, I still think he looks awsome: ) I love the whole toons hade look, very cool.

If you get the chacne Evil could you take a screen shot of that toon shade setting you have there: ) I think that looks pretty cool, and would love to try it on some of my future models: )

[Dave_UK]

Bad luck about losing your data files, as for Big Man he looks cool.... Cool blue :) Good job.

[evil-98]

thanks guys

the toon shader is just ink n paint, but rendered in vray which has better sampling and anti aliasing compared to both default scan line and MR

but ill screen shoot it for you anyways
