BiG ToE - Army Of One - Medulla Oblongata

[BiG ToE-3DT]

think of one mean man, with too many teeth.

[Mr.fE]

hahaha! cool concept indeed!

can't wait to see it!!

[setschaos]

Woot here comes the TOE! Can't wait to see what you've got up your sleeve.

[exigaen]

this should be... interesting.

[M_Cederstrom]

Where the Beef? :D

Where the Beef? :D

Where the teef?!

[BiG ToE-3DT]

well, change of plans, because I'm a mod and can't win anything, I will be making something that will be more fun to model and look at with only me in mind. It will go into the portfolio, but I wont get me a job and I need one.

New idea, half naked lady, big fan of sniper rifles. Keeps face covered, helps with focusing on target. I'll have to come back to the angry man with too many teeth at some other point in time.

[BiG ToE-3DT]

started with her mask. The plane is to get the low poly mesh done by the end of the weekend if I want to this done in time.

the idea for the mask came from vnmribaya (http://forums.3dtotal.com/showthread.php?t=72077)and his lonely soldier drawings

[Joseph Pomeisl]

sweet design - go quadcore and finish this up:D

[Tarik2d]

Looking really good, the design and the model. Did u start of with a plane? Is it done in Max,Maya etc?

[SirRay]

:evil::xyz::evil::???:????????????

[BiG ToE-3DT]

Joseph Pomeisl: yeah, quad core will be used to its fullest.

Tarik2d: started with a single plane in max, started at the eye and worked my way out.

SirRay: Hi.

[Tank[NL]]

slipknot or the "scream"-mask come to mind. liking the look, big toe.

[VinsanityV20]

Man, you always seem to start with something memorable, Toe. I remember when you started your big Elephant thing for that one comp, or your Ponytail Samurai. You had some cool ideas for their head - resulting in some very memorable silhouettes for those guys - and it seems your streak continues.

That is a very cool looking mask. Immediately says, "wasteland" to me, yet doesn't ripoff typical gas masks or that armored guy from Fallout or something. Me likey:D

weapon: long distance sniper riffle. She doesn't like to get blood on her clothing, the little bit of cothing she does wear.

[Joseph Pomeisl]

nailed that out right quick; the mask partially up looks boss... she needs some more inner thigh, me thinks.

[Tarik2d]

Looking cool, You know with the gun, Are u going to model that up to a high res one in 3ds max or maya or what ever you are using then bake the textures? But if you do that how do you incorperate that into one big map with everything....if you know what I mean?

Cheers

[BiG ToE-3DT]

well as the model is right now, every part of the mesh is seperate. But when it comes time to texture, unwrap, I'll just select any mesh, pop on into editable polly, go down to the attach option, click it, then click on everything. This will make everything one selectable item. From there I will unwrap. Everything will be on one texture sheet.

After the unwrap is done. I will collapse the stack (right click on the top modifeir in the stack, collapse to). This will save the uv unwrap info to the mesh. I can then use the element option in editable polly to select parts of the mesh that I want seperate and detattch them.

[Tarik2d]

Thanks. Sorry I am not totaly there yet :s

So you using a the big overally texture map (diffuse etc) for each indivdual part so you will have a seperate material for each part but still using the big diffuse map for example?

[BiG ToE-3DT]

its one texture map for everything.

here are examples of texture maps that have everything located on one map:

Cheers, I think Ive got it now, I'll get some posts on this weekend to get some feedback.

Thanks for your help and quick reply(S) :D

Thanks

[ismscocre]

I'm gonna start this one a bit different, I don't usually write down ideas, but is helping me visualize my concept better along with my reference pictures.

[BiG ToE-3DT]

I've been Joseph Pomeisl'ed.

[BiG ToE-3DT]

added more "inner thigh" don't want to add too much, it will take away from the haven't eaten in a while look I'm going for. Also changed the gun from a normal sniper rifle to more of an energy rifle.

...my new favorite phrase (even spelled my name right):D

that little bit helped; looks nice all around and the new gun design is better -

[xxxcubanxxx]

[Tank[NL]]

hehe, ever since Afro, you've been into these wild hairstyles, havent you? looking good man.

but damn, you sure thats a rifle and not a damn cannon? :)

[VinsanityV20]

This entry is lookin' boss, Toe! The girl's got style, that's for sure (and if Tank is right, and you're into doing another nice hairstyle, I love the silhouette). Also, that oversized, almost-anime-style cannon/rifle is badass as hell!

Lookin' great so far man! Keep up the great work, and hope you finish!

Btw, Merry Christmas/Happy New Year/ etc etc etc!

[BiG ToE-3DT]

2nd(bottom one) imho.

[VinsanityV20]

First off - WHOA dude! That is one eye-catching design, either way:) I just clicked on the page 3 link and BAM! some instant, crazy awesome character renders. Gotta love it - she definitely stands out man!

Secondly, I say the second. Simply because the mask is white and one of the colors in her scheme is white. It works with that.

Very cool model, Toe!

[lampshadehead]

wow, looks awesome. I'd say white mask for sure. The texturing on the gloves looks awesome. Can't wait to see this one done and maybe some poses! :)

[newhere]

Looks good.....just missing some specularity on the model. just my two cents :)

[chris_solo]

Oo! looks great! you really have a style that is recognized!

[BiG ToE-3DT]

ok, I'm done.

[Specialboy]

she is so sexy man ,,, i like the concept and whole process too ...

[Tarik2d]

Looking cool, well done, uve done it fast.

Can I ask u something? are u allowed to model just two legs for example (a pair of legs even) and only make one uv space for them? If that makes sense?

[BiG ToE-3DT]

yep.

you can do that for the whole model if you wanted to.

when your done modeling and your happy with what you got and you know your not going to need one part of the model to be different from the other half. You can just delete out half the model, then unwrap what is left. Then after your done unwrapping, just copy the mesh over. Now you have a full model thats unwrapped.

[Tarik2d]

Arh ok, Cheers I'll remember that, I wasnt sure if you could do that or not so I just went for unwrapping everything. Cheers for the quick reply
