Joseph Pomeisl - Army of One - The Orphan

[Joseph Pomeisl]

Basically, she's a nomad who carries only a backpack, assorted light weaponry, and whatever clothes she can loot.
She kills. Alot. She's good at it. She is roughly twenty years of age.
And that's the gist of the character...

Below is a pic that hopefully explains what's been done so far.
The tri count's kinda high, but should be alright (I'm undecided as to whether the jacket will be a removable piece or not and there's alot to be done in the way of saving tri's)

..too much talking, me thinks:D

Sweet spam :).
Not much to say so far, looking forward for the next update.

[BiG ToE-3DT]

the spam bot called you a newbie. hahahahahahaha.

not sure I want to remove it.

[setschaos]

ahahaha, that's great, priceless. Keep up the good work, you do a good job of presenting your WIP and I like the progress you show.

[Joseph Pomeisl]

Please, please, please don't remove it. I think I love that spam more than I love chris solo:D

[Perversonality]

Priceless!

Noob ;)

[colemancol]

That's great,Priceless.
Keep up the good work.

[Perversonality]

Aw, even the bots think you are priceless... It feels like a "moment" to me ;)

[BiG ToE-3DT]

this is classic.

[Joseph Pomeisl]

Bot-tastic! :D

[lampshadehead]

Looking really great so far. Remember that 12 year old girls don't have alot of boobs

[Joseph Pomeisl]

lampshadehead: thanks, fella. That is quite true; but she's supposed to be around twenty...

Got the gun finished up. And that other weapom (Kama?) may end up as a pair.
Not alot with girl yet, ponytail and draswtrings for pants and jacket...

[exigaen]

nice work :) that gun is quite impressive. how long did it take you?

[Tarik2d]

How have u made the high res one? Its looking good we'll done

[Joseph Pomeisl]

...the downside to this bot fiasco is that I have to make sure who is and isn't...:D

exigaen: thanks alot. probably 10-20+/- hrs:( really slow at high poly stuff - it's the first gun attempt for me...
Tarik2d: all max, poly modeling with floating geometry wherever I could get away with it.

Been messing with Unity, put a viewer together for the gun:
check it out if you want
-- use the mouse to spin around, that's the only control for now --

All in max, so have you baked the maps from a high res model to the low res one?

[D R E A M N T]

Its my first gun attempt too and i'm also using max.So BIG UPS to you because its definitely not easy.Plus I am almost positive your gun is WAY more detailed then mine.I'm really digging the base mesh for this character.Its flowing really nice.

I cant wait for your next update.Ill be watching.

[Joseph Pomeisl]

dhin: rather buy pills than rent them, sounds kinda messy:D
Tarik2d: yes. yes, I did.
D R E A M N T: thanks. your gun came out fine;)

... the shoes'll be the last/next thing to model in max, then zbrush for the rest. the tri's are kinda high - everything hidden by the jacket has yet to be deleted...

[xxxcubanxxx]

normals look good so far, keep it up. :wave:

[Kraken]

Great! I like such high lvl of detail!

[Mr.fE]

way to go!

[VinsanityV20]

Awesome dude! Your Max skills are clearly top-notch to get this much done this quickly. The high res sculpting so far too is pretty clean. Very nice looking model so far.

[Joseph Pomeisl]

xxxcubanxxx: thanks, and I'm trying...:D
Kraken: sweet.
Mr.fE: YATA!
VinsanityV20: thans alot. no sculpting pics as of yet...so that's probably a better compliment than you intended - I'll take it that way at least:D seriously, thanks. made my day.

...the shoes and pants and goggles (added them in) are finished. Post them up tomorrow with the jacket hopefully...

[exigaen]

looking really good man :) i'd sculpt some variations and folds into the backpack though, cuz at the moment its looking too perfect like she just pulled it out a store or something.

[Joseph Pomeisl]

exigaen: thanks, man. You're right - went back added some stuff to the bag.
Used the normal map as texture in zbrush and sculpted new folds to correspond to existing normal map - then overlayed the new map on the original - worked pretty well.
Anyway, thought that was kinda neat process/concept...

More bakes...only stuff left is the girl herself and the undershirt/tanktop.

[xxxcubanxxx]

[Specialboy]

i like ur creativity , hay i notice that ur using 3ds max ...

can u tell me how u bake the normal maps ? with settings please coz i have some problems with it :)

[dark_maggot]

Pretty nice.

cheers.

[Joseph Pomeisl]

xxxcubanxxx: hey, thanks. rock on...
Specialboy: sent you a pm...
dark_maggot: thanks, broheim.

Got all the bakes onto single 2048 and rigged her(somewhat) - and here are some shots...since these I changed the style of the chain-wallet...
catmull-rom, scanline, fake? bloom using the blur render effect set to luminance

[Mr.fE]

oh yes baby...this is sweet!

..there is something odd with the shadowing...but is stylish so it's ok for me!!

[Joseph Pomeisl]

Mr.fE: :D the shadow weirdness is probably from something done in photoshop(the renders were'nt originally grayscale)

...got some stuff done on the weapon

[Martin_x]

Textures of the weapon look amazing! Where do you bake your normal maps?

[xxxcubanxxx]

wow dude, top notch texturing.

[buzz001]

The model and the gun look amazing. I know you'll do a kick-ass job with the girl's texture just by looking at the gun.

[VinsanityV20]

Dude - lemme just thank you for that first pic with the workflow laid out! For someone like me whose learning Zbrush, that kinda thing is invaluable. I didn't even know there was a retopology tool until seeing some stuff in this comp - your Work-in-progress shots have been awesome to look at. So seriously, thanks man!

Secondly, glad I made your day with that first remark I made:) Guess I should learn to read more of the threads instead of just looking at the pretty pictures;)

That model is lookin' awesome man:) Really clean, nicely modeled - it really is looking great man. Glad to see you looking on schedule to finish this comp man; I'm sure it's going to be amazing when it's finished!

Btw; Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays/Happy New Years!

[D R E A M N T]

Such beautiful textures.
Amazing job man.

[chris_solo]

Please, please, please don't remove it. I think I love that spam more than I love chris solo:D
I love you more King!!:D
so...you did a kick ass work as usual!!!
just a remark about the lack of wrinkles on clothes or at least a little more work, and I found the fingers a little late but it's my feeling! ;)
and Happy new year friend :dance: !

[BiG ToE-3DT]

I think it's time for an update.

I'm all ants in my pants waiting for the sexiest man alive runner up, 1998 to finish his model.

[Joseph Pomeisl]

Martin_x: thanks, man. Max for most of it, xnormal for the rest.
xxxcubanxxx: :)
buzz001: thanks; no pressure, eh?
VinsanityV20: no problem. glad it helped you. and thanks for the encouragement - it's very kind.
D R E A M N T: :D
chris_solo: chris, we all know who loves who the most.
BiG ToE-3DT: I think you're right...

...well, Christmas brought the brothers back into town and to spend time on this
when they're around would be foolish. So it suffered some, but it was woth it to me -
and on that note: a late Merry Christmas and happy new year to all:D
